#delicacy
submerged in a cascade of
cacophony, my pieces wade
like fish, into semptember's silvery net
so its plundering pull would heave them
out
from their misery, grant them purpose
in the mouths of fortunes, that gobble them
as delicacies; they wither, till my egg-fragile
heart
unravels itself, savors the warmth
of the virgo sun, and hatches
immaculately, into me.

I keep waiting
For you to say
My name
Lingering in the background
I watch you
With hands open
Stretching out my fingers
Trying to tug
At your shadow
Pulling you closer, closer
I want you
To consume
Every inch of me
Set me free
In the strength of your smile
And the delicacy of my sigh

I discovered beauty through a pair of tearful eyes.
The light of day broke the running waterfall
to reveal what was hidden behind such delicacy:
knowledge,
kindness,
warmth,
passion.
One cannot place their hands on beauty,
it cannot be held in an embrace,
the core of its meaning is fully locked behind guarded orbs.

Thank you for loving me
And from your existence you have forbidden me
And with delicacy, you left me
With the same precision, you slaughtered me
Your love was all that mattered to me
So you deserted me
You hurt me
You killed my heart
And killed me

My sweet songbird
My sweet little Ortolan
Captured in
my hugs
Force-fed
I love yous
Drowned in
poetry
Draped in linen
to hide from
God
As I swallow
you whole
My sweet little Ortolan
My sweet songbird

Anteaters eat Ants.
How can they taste the small Ants,
their delicacy?

dampness forms in her eyelids,
slowly treading itself down her honey skin,
slipping down her cheeks;
teardrops are born.
brown eyes gaze into the horizon,
sweeping over the sunset,
forever wondering;
if the pain will cease.
fragile fingertips trace shapes,
twirling and digging themselves,
into the earth's surface;
dreading to be loved.
heart strings pull and release,
yanking emotional impulses,
and flooding imperfections;
coveting for a shoreline.
delicate arms are open,
awaiting for the storm to hit,
a futile attempt to embrace it;
but she is the storm.

“Engulfed in bubblewrap
Oh, he's a fragile gift
A colorless soul, some would say
For anyone could colour him
Most would paint over the lines
Some would never even reach the delicate corners
I know of one fine artist that could paint him
Her fine fingers formed with delicacy
For only she could grace him with panache
Regrettably, their paths would never cross
As she is engulfed in bubblewrap too,
And lives in a separate box” — Demi.M Potts

It was a dream exemplary and honorable
Delicacy laid in a glittering table
What a sweet dream it was
The sight so glamorous it will never last
The sweet scent has gone by
A luxurious aroma so enchanting, like I'm about to fly
Living in a castle full of delicacy and dreams
A knock on the door swept in
Come on and join me and take my heart
My sorrows withers when I'm with you
Trembling, Crying
The table is breaking, castle is fading
Shes chomping the delicacies voraciously, without hesitation
My Pride, My Hope, My Dreams
She ate it all, it shreds my heart
And when she's done,
She left to find a new castle

New, menus for you to taste,
Eating, every meal without any haste,
With, tender love of serving,
Zeal, of memories that is never ending,
Entice, your appetite until you craze,
Awaits, for the main course that you will praise,
Love, the dessert that makes you crave,
Acquit, yourself in the guilt you have,
Never, let anyone take a chance for you to grab,
Different, sensation tickles you to nab.

Make, a snack of tortilla wrap,
Enchiladas, a sauce that put on top,
X, example of food mouth drip,
In, churros a pastry chocolate dip,
Coat, in sugar until it reach the lip,
Overly, delicious recipe you can’t skip.

I falling in love eating,
Tomatoes use in garnishing,
And drinking,
Lemon that is refreshing,
Yet, the dishes are rewarding.

Don't fall in love with a writer.
A writer will take you to worlds unknown and you will get lost.
Don't fall in love with a poet.
A poet will construct stanzas of love and heartbreak,
Leaving you desperate for words unfathomable.
Don't fall in love with an artist.
An artist will paint you into their realm of never ending paintbrush strokes where love is just another color on a canvas,
Just like sadness.
Don't fall in love with her,
She is a mindless soul wandering the halls of heartache.
Don't look at her,
Her eyes will pull you deeper into the gold flakes that encircle her pupils like stars surrounding a black hole.
Don't fall in love with her touch,
Fragile fingers tracing patterns over your skin like a delicate knife cutting you open to create flesh wounds never to heal.
Don't fall in love with her body,
Captivating you with her honey drizzled hips,
Nectar inducing lips,
Taunting you as she strips.
Your skin is like fire,
Burning flames dancing and mingling with just a fleeting touch of her beauty.
Don't fall in love with her,
But,
You already have.

We can whisper into the universe with all our might
We hold onto hope in the terror off night.
We are in the abyss, do you not see this?
We are stranded in eternity inside the universes glove.
The delicacy of our humankind is bound by love.

my fingers are stiff and worn
unable to give birth to the small
and delicate
so maybe instead i'll try
to create the
Universe
