Short Delphic Poems

Singing pollen songs
Lips anointed with honey
Priestess of Delphi
Filling her pollen basket
Propolis giving comb love...

A Delphic phosphorescence nests
Kindled was the yellow flame
Exclusive ulterior vibes rest
A Delphic phosphorescence nests
Sensibility shan’t ever subside
Upon sojourning the grain
A Delphic phosphorescence nests
Exclusive ulterior vibes rest...

An ominous revelation  
that causes cosmic causation,
reveals nature's Delphic intent
of foretelling a looming event

with not philosophical tools
or words of sophistical fools--
but by a show of its power
from a dazzling meteor shower!...

The comment of a girl younger than four
      is truer than any Delphic oracle;

To try to change it in your favor requires
      no less than a medieval miracle;

For hers is the honest opinion of a
      trustworthy mirror on the wall;

Though you befriend her with chocolate
     bars, toys and a marshmallow ball,

She sticks to her verdict and points at
     your wrinkles, warts and all !...

The comment of a girl younger than four
is truer than a Delphic 
oracle.


To try to change it in your own favor
needs no less than a medieval 
miracle.


For hers is the most honest opinion
of a trustworthy mirror 
on the wall.


Although you befriend her with choco bars,
barbi dolls and a pink 
marshmallow ball,


she gives her verdict with finality
as she points at your wrinkles, 
warts and all!...

A crooked slanting moon
shifts the eye
comes under the chaste tree
and washes the tainted
victory.

Wolves start howling
at the tomb of unknown martyr,
man-eaters recoil
on the sugar island
and talk about destinies,

A mourning crowd walks
repudiating the death;
one day nuances of an ode
will thaw the delta
in disbelief.

The Delphic attitude
of a translucent murder
narrates the wisdom of sadness
which cannot propel the
blood stained light.


SATISH VERMA...
