Always with a drink
Not to sustain the body
But to numb the soul
Cowardice in a bottle
Shows weakness of character

Does the Summer cry
Mourning for it’s own demise
As its spirit falls
Buried under Autumn’s reign
It awaits solstice rebirth
~

Sunrise vicissitude
Orange to yellow to blue
A cheerful painting
By the stroke of the master
A blank canvas comes to life
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A reinvention
What exactly does that mean
Imaginary
The lies we tell to ourselves
We can’t be something we’re not
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Biblical floods came
Washing away towns and lives
Cut off from the world
And still it won’t be over
Even after the rains end
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
How deep is thy love
How strongly doth thy heart beat
Is thy soul consumed
Like flares of a thousand suns
Smitten by passions fire
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Vociferous me
Religion and politics
Destined to divide
Still answers are illusive
Therefore I must question on
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Each look as the first
Bringing us ever closer
We are destiny
You…the reason I was born
I…yours ’til the end of time
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The storm rages on
Rivers of mud replace road
Sidewalk riverbanks
When the flash flood expires
Where does all the water go
~

Authors Note: This is something in the 12 years that I have lived in Arizona I have never seen before. This is a major road which runs in front of the busiest municipal airport in the country, which happens to be right outside the window of my office. This road is a total of six lanes wide, 3 going in each direction and the river of water and mud nearly met to cover the entire road. A pretty rare site in this part of the country where it is normally so dry.
Call me cynical
For not having faith in you
Lies have tainted me
Asking to trust what you know
Haven’t we done this before
