Delphine P Snow

I’ve written since I was a kid: journaling and short stories. Now I dabble in storytelling, poetry, and songwriting while I write my novel. I’m here to enjoy other people’s writing and to share my work. I’m always open to feedback on anything I post.

Atomic Love

Goddamit!

Here he was AGAIN.

Back at my doorstep, this time completely drenched.

"Did you run over in the thunderstorm?" I asked with raised eyebrows, eyes glaring in utter shock, and mouth agape.

Breathless, shirtless, and proclaiming his undying love, was my.....boss? More accurately, my former boss.

I should be flattered. I would be flattered, if I didn’t know it was all fake, all due to so...

The Birthday Party

Delphine P Snow

2 min read

This is fiction. I'm playing around with writing in first person.

The first time I felt the emotion that I would come to know as jealousy, it was at my twin brothers’ 5th birthday party. At the time, I was three years old. It was the year the concept of birthday celebrations made an indelible impression on my psyche.

You see, at that age, I already knew one thing about myself, I loved attentio...

Deadlines, client meetings

Lunch breaks spent at restaurants

Meals shared with colleagues

Hozier doing sound check on

A hot summer afternoon

Tourists crossing the street

Cyndi Lauper standing by

Waiting for the same

Streetlight to turn green

A child is dead, shot

Flowers, toys

stuffed animals

Candles, a shrine

Solemn faces, downcast

Hush whispers, silent cries

Pauline was 15 years old the day she decided to kill her father.

Nothing special happened that day. She woke up about the same time she usually did. She ate the same breakfast of oatmeal and bananas she liked, packed her suitcase and set out on a road trip with her father.

They were driving from Missouri to Illinois for her grandmother’s funeral. It was her first ever road trip. It was suppose...

Mama said, "don't get so close."

Mama said, "your hands will get hurt."

Fire

It called my name

It beckoned me to it

It bewitched me with its radiance

It enticed me with its beauty

It entranced me with its colors

It hypnotized me with its dance

Me, Myself and I

It was quite strange. She looked familiar. Except her hair was blonde. I recognized the eyes, the chin dimple, the high cheekbones, and the crooked teeth. Even her skin had the same patchy look, with some parts darker than others. The fake moustache was the most eerie part. Ok, it wasn't really a moustache, it was the darkening of the skin between the upper lip and the nose, from years of having a...

This is Fiction.

The verdict was read by the foreman, “on the charge of murder in the first degree, we find the defendant, not guilty. On the charge of murder in the second degree, we find the defendant, guilty.”

The entire courtroom erupted in applause. People sitting behind her stood up and hugged each other. She heard someone sobbing loudly. Someone else squeezed her right hand. Their hand fe...

The trees whispered my name

Come

The birds sang my praises

Come

The leaves cheered me on

Come

The ground woke up to my steps

Come

They said, “this is your homecoming.”

They said, “this is where you belong.”

The wind whispered my name

Come

The rain showered me with its drops

Come

The Outpouring of love was generous

They told me life sprung eternal

They told me from death came birth

They told...

My Lover, My Sanity.

A while ago she broke up with me,

And I don't know why.

Was it because I worked too many night shifts?

Was it because of all my trauma that showed up at night?

Did I drive her away with my anxieties around my finances?

Was it the frequent episodes of newborn wakefulness?

Was it too many nights of bing watching shows in the dead of night?

She never said anything.

It was a slow ghosting.

Life On Repeat

1 min read

I wrote this song about the experience of repeated losses ( miscarriages, death of loved ones, etc. Just having to go through the same experience over and over again, in a weird unending loop). The term deja vu is very generalized, it’s more fleeting. However, there are sister terms that are more specific about the phenomenon like deja vecu which is a stronger more powerful experience. You feel li...
