A tantric passion
Born of wanton desire
Is likely short lived
When forged of the physical
But void mutual love

Seeking Answers – A Tanka
Tormented souls weep
Looking skyward for answers
Like astronomers
Seeking what can not be seen
With the naked eye of man
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Value of Time – A Tanka
Time, something finite
Taken for granted by all
‘Till late in one’s life
Then time is held as treasure
More precious than solid gold
~~D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Mothers – A Tanka

The sun bright and warm
Looms over the horizon
Calling dawn to life
Sleep is wiped from weary eyes
A mothers work is ne’er done
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Unjustified Criticism – A Tanka

Berated by kin
Castigated by strangers
Who turn a deaf ear
Criticizing without facts
Now who’s the ignorant one
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Good Night – A Tanka
Last rays of day fade
Ushering in moon and stars
As the nights backdrop
Children long for beds comfort
Warm milk and the sweetest dreams
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
No Longer A Child – A Tanka
You talk down to me
Treating me as a child
But you’re mistaken
Sprouting many years ago
I have long been in full bloom
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Battle Scarred – A Tanka

Names long forgotten
Came screaming back to haunt me
As if yesterday
Friends lost on the battlefield
Turn dreams to guilty nightmares
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
The Finer Things – A Tanka
A walk on the beach
Sand, wind and sun renew
Like a fine Merlot
Warming one’s heart and one’s soul
While pleasing to the palate
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Rebirth – A Tanka
This place I stand now
The pinnacle of my life
Like the beginning
Everyday is a new day
Another chance for rebirth
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
