Short Delved Poems

Beauty is in the mastery
of the life your have created for yourself
the interests and passions you've delved into
culminating in the unique individual you've become
you are the tapestry of your life's work...

He ran his hands over my body
Like he was searching for a place
He could begin to pry me open
Without ruining my face

More snake than human I am
Undeserving of the gift 
His hands delved into my body 
Like he was taking back the rib...

“sassafras”

 

 
 
it was cool 
deep 
in the wood 
where 
only purity 
existed 
barely naked 
running 
down paths 
of wild thoughts 
lost 
in shadows 
the sun 
never sees... 
at dusk 
we drank 
sassafras 
delved 
into dreams 
sleeping 
as the stars 
watched....

They are removing the last part of me that is human
A terminal in Mumbai,
one of the first,
delved deep into my database.
I felt it.
I feel everything they do.

The messages whizz around.

They did not know!

I’ll hide;
I’ve hidden things before;
important things.

They know nothing....

Listen to poem:

some have delved
in the meaning of life
others
in the meaning of death
but what of
the meaning of limbo
that hovering
between
life and death
that state of 
suspension
between
the two worlds
not ready to enter
not ready to leave
~ hovering

Breaking a habit to breaking a rule.
Breaking a rule, shooting a muel.
Breaking a habit like nightly drool.

If I were to jump, but you placed the stool;
Will you have delved into a lukewarm pool?
Or might you've sat back and acted all cool?

'Spose I should know it'd be breaking a rule.
But breaking a habit isn't breaking a rule....

Gone is the era of the Renaissance Man
Who delved into Milton, Voltaire and Rosseau
Knew the difference between Cezanne and Gaugin
Could parse a sentence and quote Henry Thoreau

Came Woodstock, he was buried deep in time's sands
Covered over by Joplin and Country Joe...
Social media's dug man's hole even worse
Alexa and Cortana ~ My lips are pursed...

It's a bloody mess,
murder most kind,
the kind that does not kill.
Desires clawed within rib cages
or delved into tender marrows.

You get used to it, want it,
it keeps you alive
the way some poisonous medicine will.

Some love poetry
becomes the aromatic attar
of a perfect rose,
while others end in greasy stains
over wilting ego’s,

from a thousand miles away
both are worth it....

If you delved into a human brain
What would be found
Different sections of various sizes 
With activity abound

Sections sized for each individual
Producing unique identities
Creating amazing minds
Creating you, creating me

Sections such as Control
Problem solving and Common sense
Decision making and Intelligence

How interesting it would be
To delve inside a human brain
Would we walk away in judgement
Or stay ,connect then ascertain?...

As I walked up the window your smile reflects the sun, remembered me of Saturday morning walk during run, me enjoying doing jokes and fun.

Changing after hearing: ,,you talk too much", but you seem not caring the words of sucks'.

Months developed, delved in mind. ,,Say something, should I?" I, rough thing solved: ,,*Hide*"

But you pure soul, covered a mole, by saying:,,You are really creative". 

Now I am 5 walking next to my mom: ,, You too sensitive you too ''persepective".
