Delicacy Of Life Poem by Obed dela Cruz
Delicacy Of Life
I found myself enjoying wormwood’s bitterness
Thinking that it is the sweetest life can give me.
For too long I partook the bread of dire falseness
Knowing falsely that I ate life’s delicacy.
In the past, I have always been forced to digest
The rotten crops of my wasted strength and labor
Without even noticing that I’m greatly stressed
And should question if these things should I just ignore.
But now I understood what is sweet and bitter
And that I was just drunk throughout the past sour years.
The gladness I now feel I shall keep forever,
For never shall I again swallow my own tears.

What a honest poem! This poem really draws me the passion of life's delicacy, nice job...
we have to thank God for every thing.that's a wonderful poem Obed! thanks for sharing
Gr8 poem. Yes, self-introspection is important. They are certain things which we think make us happy, but deep down even we know that we need something else. I sense extreme sorrow in these lines.10+
well done! that's a new unique piece i'm waitin for new issues & more deep.KEEP IT UP & EXCELLENT.
Nice one. I prefer not to swallow my own tears? Anyways good.
I found myself enjoying wormwood’s bitterness Thinking that it is the sweetest life can give me. For too long I partook the bread of dire falseness Knowing falsely that I ate life’s delicacy. Sounds like a medieval setting or Gothic. Would have been interesting if you had expanded on the first stanza with another stanza to expand those ideas. 10
