Awakened from dreams
Drenched in cold sweat, thoughts of you
Spin like a typhoon
A path of devastation
Left in the wake of heartbreak

Cold, Cold Heart – A Tanka

The gray sky, clouds hover
Looks like another snow day
Cold, harsh, unfeeling
You left me for another
Shattering my heart like ice
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Not So Different – A Tanka
Passing the fence line
Cattle and antelope mixed
Sharing grass as kin
Perhaps this is a lesson
Unlike but living in peace
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Suffocation – A Tanka
Your blanket of lies
Pulled tightly around my head
Suffocating trust
Killing, what I thought we shared
Sun, moon and the air we breathe
~~ D. R, DiFrancesco ~~
The Empty Bed – Tanka
I blink and you’re gone
Half our bed is crisp and cold
Empty like my heart
Broken by my one true love
Destined to wander alone
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Of Hunger – A Tanka
No one hears the child
Cries of hunger are ignored
Food is tossed away
The richest country on earth
Isn’t there enough for all
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Fountain of Youth – A Tanka
A fountain of youth
An attempt to hold off age
Its only fools gold
Precious to the uninformed
Worthless when not conceited
~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
Lovers – A Tanka

So tender a kiss
Shared between two loving hearts
Intertwined like vines
The taste of the grapes so sweet
The wine most exceptional
