Are we not called to greatness
As our primal spirit demands
Promised to all but the faithless
The future is in our hands
Before our eyes destiny unfolds
As beckoned by our will
In our minds and hearts and souls
Its progress won’t be stilled
So if we journey deep within
To the place where essence lives
Returning to where creation begins
Finding peace the universe gives
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Time doth heal all wounds
So the unenlightened claim
Scars are permanent
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Love’s storm crashes
Upon the rocky shore of my heart.
Teasing blood and soul
Into tumultuous sea.
Catching each drop in the riptide;
Dragging it under,
Caressing it with tender arms,
Diluting the pain
Until two become fused.
One heart and one soul;
Fluid as the raging storm
That is our love.
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Oh the lies we tell
To deceive our reflection
But fooling no one
The mirror–superficial
Cannot reveal the true soul
~
~~ Dominic R. DIFrancesco ~~
Sweetness fills the air;
Scent of lilac and jasmine
Infused in my soul.
Like the tenderest embrace
You and I have become one.
Is this not true love,
The truest love known to man;
Eternally bound,
Two star-crossed lovers
Hearts beating in unison?
I say that it is!
Our bond cannot be broken,
Deaths grip holds no sway,
Matters of the heart survive
Beyond this mortal world
And into the next.
Our passions destiny,
Impenetrable;
Is our armor and our strength,
Warding off those who chastise.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Torment of demons
Live within my heart and soul
A mental typhoon
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Asleep she lays on sacred field,
Angelic glow about her beams,
Draped in white my heart doth yield,
Far beyond my mortal dreams.
~
I fathom not why me she chose,
Undeserving, I most surely be,
Heavenly creature beyond paling rose,
This fool adrift on earthly sea.
~
I kneel before thy silken throne,
In prayer to one, the God most high,
For kindness that he hath shown,
This gift of you– without I’d die.
~
I know not where this path might lead,
Or when my love we forever part,
Cherishing time, its waste doth bleed,
Forever alive within my heart.
~
Sleep well my love in tender dream,
Assured through faith that I lie by your side,
To hold you forever in highest esteem,
This sacred promise by which I abide.
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
This blanket of snow,
Holds no greater chill than that of my soul,
Tangled in frigid fingers of emotion,
Drowning in a veritable ocean,
Whose frothy foam I call home.
~
I ask not for your sympathy,
Desire not your empathy,
This road I must travel alone,
A path my heart to me has shown,
Until my thirst has been sated.
~
To struggle forth and never find,
Reeks with havoc a fragile mind,
Constantly reaching to dull the pain,
No matter how subtle to keep me sane,
Darkness hides the tears I grieve.
~
Let not this smile I outward show,
Mislead you that I carefree go,
Buried deep within sullen core,
Bolted and locked the iron door,
My feelings trapped in dungeon black.
~
I pray one day to find the key,
To let in light so that I might see,
The gift of worth in this life I’ve led,
Before I join the cold stone dead,
On a sea of stark eternity.
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Spent, my heart racing
Pounding to the souls rhythm
Mute before love pure
You, the muse granting me breath
For without I would perish
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Blistering cobbles
Setting fire to foots soul
On this road to Hell
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
