The Number Thirteen

The number thirteen,

Coincidence or karma

Falling on Friday.

Inspiration for slashers

Needing to wear hockey masks.

Then wouldn’t you know

Valentine’s Day would follow.

Now that’s frightening!

What if I got the wrong gift?

She could kill me in my sleep.


~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

A Determined Love

Kindred spirit

This love was born of the stars

Others would not hear of it

This destiny was ours

~~

Our two souls conjoined

By Heaven’s sacred bond

Through vows to be coined

In this world and beyond

~~

My treasured love

In sickness and in health

You’ve stood beside and above

Though my life eluded wealth

~~

Surely this love must be true

Were it not you wouldn’t have stayed

Illness put a stain, the cause we never knew

My trust you never betrayed

~~

Love does not abide

In passions fair weather alone

Nor does it strive to hide

From life’s pain and strife when shown

~~

Our love, my love

Is etched in stone to last the ages

Through all the push and shove

We’ve show the fallibility of sages

~~ D. R. DiFrancesco ~~
