It has inspired millions

Clouds Layered, Thick, Dark (Tanka)
Clouds layered thick, dark
Framing nature’s ragged face
She weeps for the sun
They are but star-crossed lovers
Counting down to reunion
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Driven Wild By Love (Tanka)
Driven wild by love
That time only enhances
Addictive like drugs
I don’t want to be rehabbed
Let me die as a junkie

Meditation–peace
Exploring the hidden self
That lives within me
Something I had never known
But glad I finally found

‘Round We Go Again (Tanka)
‘Round we go again
Reminiscent of Crusades
This old game of chess
What’s going to be our next move
In this match that ends in draw

Archer Stands Ready (Tanka)
Archer stands ready
Arrow nocked, bow fully drawn
He’s poised for the kill
Huddled I stay out of sight
For fear I’m Cupid’s target
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Man’s Eyes Deceive Him (Tanka)
Man’s eyes deceive him
When under a woman’s spell
They say love is blind
Who would I be to argue
For I am truly bewitched
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
You’re Running Away
You’re running away
Trying to find your true self
But it eludes you
Self dear one is not a place
Because it lives inside you
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Lowly Water Drop (Tanka)
Lowly water drop
Once gone leaves a ghostly tear
Such are the tears of men
Waste not this precious lifetime
Make goodness your legacy
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Season Nearly Done (Tanka)
Season nearly done
All that’s left is the New Year
The question I ask
≈
Will anything change this time
Or will we fail as always
