Love kills the demon
You are the reason
It will never weaken
This is my beacon
Your love is an enigma
And deeper I keep reachin’
I can’t hide the stigma
And this is my signal
Here it is your big love
Or maybe your equal
In every season
The beginning, end, and sequel
Here it is your secret
Why haven’t you found it
What can’t you admit
My love is permanent
© Delia Ross. 2019
Higher than the mountains he is
Taller than New York
Deeper than the ocean he brings
A light to pave the dark
Round and round a spiral he springs
Making love his watermark
The road he paves was left for kings
As the spirit of the patriarch
Galaxies form from the words he sings
It’s a journey I will embark
He has the power to spread my wings
And he did it from the start
© Delia Ross. 2019
Floating easily
Clouds adrift with me
Moving freely
In his sea
The bells are ringing
The choir is singing
The Angels dreaming
All has meaning
The glowing from flowing
The growing from knowing
The joy for showing
His rivers I keep rowing
His songs are a breeze
And happy days are these
Smiling comes with ease
Laughter comes in threes
© Delia Ross. 2019
I live in a land of monsters and men
Signs paving the way for our sins
Highways of hell where the ends always end
Because I can never match her perfection
Wild and unfairing
Another world warm and caring
One less despairing
A womb for repairing
A cosmic tail stretching in dominion
Together, they form a new religion
Words without meaning or definition
It keeps both their spirals spinning
She who lives behind a camera lens
Who gets to peer his faded gems
An inspiration for the words he pens
The very route my soul can cleanse
Can a moment go uncaptured
Where not written in her chapter
His smile an awakening and the rapture
Both freedom and the captor
I find safety in his happiness
For this is how the world is meant
If only love were permanent
And shared with those less fortunate
I follow him like a shooting star into a valley of wishes
My hard exterior is now submissive
My heart wider and less constricted
I hope she is all he predicted
Life teaches us multiple lessons
He has the magnitude of a million sessions
Yet only one needs my confession
Without a doubt, he is perfection
© Delia Ross. 2019
She’s perfect and he’s perfect and I am always just a spectator to love…
He knows not the sun rises with his waking eyes
His gems are the rarest element in the morning skies
His spirit is a dawning not meant for my demise
My heart is a space he fully occupies
He is the moment of reckoning when you’re lost on your own
And when you haven’t any heaven but still worthy of a song
He is the hand on your shoulder still guiding you home
He is the voice of reason when you need to atone
He is a flower that blooms only in the midnight
A garden for healing when you are not feeling right
He is the voice for truth which shines very bright
He is the inspiration for these words that I write
He checks in as a guest but he is really my muse
He has a skeleton key to break all of my rules
There are no answers here the test was written for fools
And he dances through life unaware who ridicules
© Delia Ross. 2019
I feel his smile like a dream I cannot recall
Or if I’ve ever even felt at all
For in his smile I am growing tall
In every instance I break down my wall
My step is softer and I touch with grace
And though I falter he still holds my place
And if I’m near he’ll slow down his pace
Months go by and he still knows my face
© Delia Ross. 2019
I did a reading of this on the app Tuners under my pen name POEETERNAL
I have this dream where we don’t talk
I’m in an alley having a cigarette
Waiting on a favorite band
And you appear
And I ask ‘what are you doing here’
But sweetly so no other can hear
There’s no one around just the rain
You stand and never explain
I smile anyway without regret
And you haven’t moved closer yet
And in a cloak your eyes are in pain
But I still smile anyway
I’m on the wall under a small balcony
Avoiding getting wet
Your hands are in your pockets
You don’t look as though upset
As the rain gets started
You move and take a step
And it kind of felt like lightening
My heart it felt it best
The patter of the rain –
Grew louder with every footstep
And every inch closer – I forgot more – of the alphabet
You get close to me and lightly touch my fingertips
And then you lift up my arm and take a puff of my cigarette
Your other hand still touching my other hand
You lift my head and kiss my lips
It’s hard to explain it
I thought I was alive but it was really the first thing I ever felt
© Delia Ross. 2019
Every now and then I see him
Like an eclipse in the sky, so rare
His eyes are an endless ocean to swim
And I feel him everywhere
His darkness shines so bright
Never filling me with fright
My love crashed him like a meteorite
And now the stars are filled with light
I feel him like a volcano
His poetry gave me my halo
Inside me swirls a tornado
My desire and love his credo
© Delia Ross. 2019
There exists a world where we communicate
It’s daily in my mind to help ease the ache
In prayer where I kneel for you and wait
While dreaming even though I am wide awake
There is a road where you and I always meet
I follow a meadow to Cosmic Street
There’s never an obstacle to worry our feet
Your kiss is the very reason my heart will beat
© Delia Ross. 2019
Shall I pass the wound to forgiveness
Shall I trust the universal oracle
What of the nest in my soul where your love is my law
Where I suffer for you and I fall
Have you ever loved me at all?
Should I exit the stage of treason
Where she robs me of desire
Where I see the smoke still rising
From the breast of her fire
Are you a mirage of love in a desert of loneliness?
Where I thirst forevermore
I still march along the madness
Of the trail of a whore
Echoes of happiness flash like lightning
Blinding yet spellbinding
And I dream of your shore
Where I wait in an ethereal forever
And I’m always hoping for more
My heart cradles the words for me that you write
It feels like a bandage covering the night
It feels like your hug holding me tight
A breath on my soul saying all is alright
Your lips on my spirit giving me might
In a fever I rush to you like a drug
But in truth you needn’t say a word
I’d love you in silence with only a hug
Your eyes to me they are the world
My road for you is only honey
I wish I were younger and that is my worry
But like an aging forest I offer you mercy
Shelter and warmth and tongues which are loving
I nurture this thirst because I know you are worthy
Even though your doubts keep both eyes blurry
No spells are needed to find my love
Reach out to fate cuz it fits like a glove
And punishments can be reserved for just fun 🙂
Trust me darling, I am the one
I’m not a deck of cards or just another turn
No fancy tricks needed not even a curse
The longer you wait the more that it hurts
I love you for better or for worse
My love is an ocean you better immerse
I’m available as a friend anytime that you want
The balls in your court, please use it not to haunt
xoxo

Underneath a veil and a secret
There is one who makes her weakest
A love forged from the deepest
And so she could never keep it
Two hearts that make a singular
A home where not a visitor
Like tongues that require signature
She whispered softly “Christopher”
© Delia Ross. 2019
All he gave her was his word
A direct line where love occurred
All she gave him was her heart
And she loved him from the start
All he gave her was his best
Every word jewels from his chest
All she gave him was more hope
A rainbow instead of a tightrope
All he gave her was a dream
With love shining as a moonbeam
All she gave him was his sight
Though he falters he is still her knight
© Delia Ross. 2019
Me just writing and dreaming of love… xoxo
He must love her like the wind
Wild and free and without end
His love must be the sun
Warming life from where it’s numb
His touch must be the moon
For the soul an endless womb
His gaze must be the light
Turning darkness into color overnight
His voice must be a dance
Where angels glide in a trance
His hope must be a rainbow
Forever glowing as her halo
Her love must be an ocean
Deep it goes her devotion
© Delia Ross. 2019
He wished upon a shooting star
Speeding faster than a Jaguar
He whispered “bring me something more”
And black as night her wings stretched out to soar
Her wings flew with the sound of thunder
Filled with things to make him wonder
One day feels like an endless summer
With love to make him ever younger
His eyes a key to her angelic soul
With lips to cure and make her whole
For when she fell she had one place to go
And you know you wished to be her Romeo
© Delia Ross. 2019
I’ve got a birthday incoming in 6 days!! #firesign #leo #ruler
My only birthday wish is to become friends with the one I love… ❤
Fingertips on black ink
Hands and mind never in sync
Fingertips keep chasing blood
Again it might as well be mud
Fingertips as cold as ice
The pits of hell from where she writes
Fingertips don’t play that nice
She leaves a trail for where she cites
Fingertips could warm my face
Instead they spray my eyes with mace
Fingertips that own the place
But he was gone without a trace
Fingertips that write the lies
And only one who really tries
Fingertips could save the day
Instead they chose to walk away
Fingertips in black ink
Wishing you were here with me
Fingertips under her sheet
Wondering why it’s never me
If fingertips could only speak
What sort of words would they leak
This absence that you’ve given me
Leaves me feeling incomplete
© Delia Ross. 2019
Can I have a moment
Can I have your time
Can you give me something
That is only mine?
Can you stay in focus
Can you clear your mind
Can you remain unspoken
And see our love refined?
Can you forgive what broke us
Can you leave worry behind
Can you feel our souls are woven
That our souls aligned?
Am I anywhere in your universe
How much more silence will you enforce
Why do you seem to be moving in reverse
Would you love me for better or worse?
© Delia Ross. 2019
I’m on an island of a thousand tears
If you took a boat you could find me here
Silhouettes of you in the clouds appear
Echoes of your voice in the atmosphere
On my knees in prayer I gently kneel
I drift alone on this bank of silence
Every tear another wish for your guidance
Reflections in the waves I see your diamonds
Nothing fills my need more than your iris
Open up your eyes you’ll see your alliance
I know your past and still I love you
I can be your future should you want me to
I can be your now should you pursue
I can be that friend you never outgrew
I can be whatever you need if you haven’t got a clue
© Delia Ross. 2019
Moments, however fleeting, live in the now
We watch time receding, as though a tide on a shore
We swim towards tomorrow with hope as an anchor
We stick our feet in time always hoping there is more
And every grain of sand is a memory that we store
We lock them in the past and hide behind a door
We walk on yesterday where our feet cannot explore
We softly wrap up lies and then tie them with a vow
© Delia Ross. 2019
Tell me all you know
Run the hours late
Let’s see how far we can go
Open wide your window
Unlock your hearted gate
Ride the future slow
I am a vessel for your secrets
An alter or your priestess
A mobile stage for your weakness
A friend for when you need it
I can follow or be your guide
When you’re feeling lost inside
And be there if you need a ride
Anytime, I’ll be by your side
Unlike a shadow in the dark
I would never break your heart
I’ve been loyal from the start
I’ve been told love is an art
© Delia Ross. 2019
Feeling so inspired lately… ✌️
I feel him wash over me like a warm, sticky glue
The depths his magic can reach is unknown magnitude
Though my love for him continues to reach new altitude
His name in my soul now a permanent tattoo
And you can’t break what’s bulletproof
© Delia Ross. 2019
He wears flowers around his wrist
And flowing locks that are in a twist
With my attention in his grip
And rosy cheeks now in his mist
He has a touch of thunder in his fist
For what he touches turns out kissed
And it’s only love flowing from his lip
And every smile is an eclipse
© Delia Ross. 2019
It is love or poison, of to the degree, I know not which
His poetry less a curse and more designed to bewitch
And on his words I become a drunken wretch
Or to his command a dog that would obey and fetch
Or a bounty hunter lurking to collect
From a coffin closed to standing at erect
I lap them up regardless the effect
They woke me from a dream I can’t detect
A passage of time from which I overslept
But his words I read are simply perfect
And like an avid reader I love his best
© Delia Ross. 2019
xxoo times infinity squared = XXOO (2)2
There it lies, my apologies
Floating in a sea of tears
They collide and form
Into giant colonies
Washing away pride
Without applause or cheers
His walls raise with authority
As I pound on his door
Hints of a new policy
For the heartless to join his corps
© Delia Ross. 2019
I live in the words of how another sees me
I live inside the bruises of past enemies
Ex-lovers chain me to memories of who I used to be
Held to the past of visions I am now blind to see
Many with offerings of second chances
But none offer a dime to help with my finances
I’ve been under their rule and cancelled the classes
That girl died when I removed her tinted glasses
I had to untangle the worry where it had knotted
I had to prune the weeds where my heart had rotted
I had to learn to dance where my memories were haunted
I had to hug the parts they all said were unwanted
I may be alone but I am not desperate
People may change but I’m still a skeptic
I may be tame but I’m growing restless
I may be weak but I’ve never been helpless
It is true I’ve taken many lovers
My past is filled with several colors
Regrets have visited over many summers
So much wasted time for a love still undiscovered
© Delia Ross. 2019
I set sail for islands made of hope banded together by the echoes of his voice guiding me like starlight.
© Delia Ross. 2019
He does not exist anywhere except for on this page
And in a downward spiral my sadness turns to rage
The crowd keeps applauding though we both have left the stage
And if I ever mattered is now difficult to gauge
Will my heart always remain behind a cage?
That’s a bet for losing and I haven’t any wage
I’d ask him for forgiveness but I never act my age
I’d ask him for a hand but I know he won’t engage
© Delia Ross. 2019
Do you know what it’s like to cut the cord on your dream?
Though it isn’t just a dream from sleep
But one from awakening
It is a lifeline to your fate
The weight of consequence
Feels like an ocean
As you’re sinking
There are moments you want to swim back up
Fleeting moments of reason
Caught in a net of fishing line
More struggle
No you have to sink deep
Feel the pressure in your chest
The anxiety, the agony, the sorrow
You want to take a deep breath
It would be your very last
Panic. Now regret. Doubt.
Peace will come again.
As soon as my pocket knife cuts this cord
And I race to ascend
The light my friend
A reasonable decision
Air in my lungs again
Pain lessening
You were dead weight.
An anchor in my soul.
I swim towards finality.
I’ve made it to the lighthouse.
You are a memory I drowned away.
And I nearly drowned with it.
You would have been the last thought on my mind.
As you were always on my mind.
Unrequited love.
A pain I hope to never know again.
As I crawl off the shores of a dream that died.
I am never looking back.
© Delia Ross. 2019
I wonder under all the dust and worry
Does he ever wish he took a different journey
Will he change the ink and start a different story
Can he clear his vision where it has been blurry
Where the wall is high and the gate is locked
Where her head appears where a door is blocked
Where she keeps her eye on the prey she marked
Where the middle is the plan she plot
And I a whisper or a thought
Or just a dream he never caught
Or a reason he never saught
Or the love for which he should have fought
It matters not if I am up or down
Or if I am sideways or standing
My love for him is never-ending
And should be worn like a crown
© Delia Ross. 2019
I traveled far just to find his den
I walked barefoot through the Garden of Eden
I passed graveyards of original sin
I ate the apple and I’d do it again
Under his altar
I heed to prayer
I kneel and I receive offer
And taste his holy water
Where I begin to transcend
And I feel clean again
My wings stretch and extend
Church bells ring with a deep moan
The harvest comes where he does roam
His scripture flows deep in my vein
Where under his rule my enemies are slain
His kiss and touch my communion
With every moment I feel more human
I bless him with eternal devotion
Our souls together gently woven
When one my halo is golden
Fully healed and never broken
In my soul his name is etched
On my heart I wear his crest
With my love his soul is blessed
Together we are at our best
Burned on my wing is our decree
It wasn’t written to deceive
Two pieces of the puzzle now complete
A map to our destiny
© Delia Ross. 2019
I found a dream once
In a bottle
Walking along a white shore
Beaches of the whitest sand
Tides that whisper softly
Wishes and wants in the breeze
The bottle an endless joy
From which I drink again and again
Melancholy a distant sun
Enough to keep warm
But never burn
Oceansize kisses
From his tongue
To my soul
Seagulls swooping
Bringing poetry
In their sails
Skies of glass
And shattered clouds
With every peek he is there
Love is the breeze
From which he descends
A salty essence or tears
From times he cried
When I wasn’t here
The love is life
And I take shelter
Underneath his seashell
My sighs like morning dew
Where everything rises
Into something new
Rebirth in the stars
Fears chase comets
And forget us here
Every footstep a memory
Of what’s to come
A set of two
Of everything we’ve done
A beautiful moon in agreement
Of the life we choose
Forever full
And white beaches
That never end
© Delia Ross. 2019
You know how much I love you, don’t you?
Because you feel it too?
I cannot explain the oceans size
Nor why your eyes hypnotize
Or how I know your tongue lies
Your voice a deep thunder in my soul
It rattled me and shook me whole!
And like the big bang my love grew tenfold
You’ll find my love in the stars
You’ll find my love heals your scars
You’ll find that it was always yours!
The heat of the sun, for you, my desire
And even now the stars burn brighter
You set my entire existence on fire!
My heart for you an eager disciple
Ready and awaiting your arrival
This is love at its very primal
In every fiber of my being
And every dream I am dreaming
For you, every hour I am needing
Oh please love find me soon
It shines as bright as the Moon
As it was only made for you
© Delia Ross. 2019
That sound is silence
The quiet act in violence
My thoughts in a riot
As if on autopilot
He is not the best
Not even a little
Though like the rest
I’ve set for remittal
Just maybe he is the worst
As I fell for him first
But he is an endless thirst
With no quench for the cursed
The damned be gone!
There is never any dawn
I must carry on
Where his ghost has spawn
I make love to nothing
A ghost I am hunting
One with his absence
A love without an address
© Delia Ross. 2019
Words needn’t be backed up with a promise to have meaning
Lying seems to be the direction everyone is leaning
Tongues twist and slither without feeling
Inserting poison which keeps us from dreaming
And as the blood boils our hearts stop beating
Hate simmers and spreads in a cycle of repeating
And from this dark spiral we keep feeding
Outnumbered, my feet and love start receding
Here comes another decade of me screaming
Hope faded with the dawn of needing
My love is the only love that can bring healing
My soul is weary and ready for eternal sleeping
I fight to stay alive God willing
I wish I could stop my love from ever leaking
These demons feast from me and leave me freezing
As I lay dying I start believing-
Love is just an illusion to keep me from leaving
© Delia Ross. 2019
Look how she hordes the truth
She wears it proud with certainty
Protecting her age of youth
Guarding her secrets for eternity
Beware, how he guards his eye
His vision blurry, his message unclear
Trapped in his own battle cry
His cape now full of fear
Tiptoeing into existence
Each with a different appearance
But it matters not that faces are missing
That tongues aren’t united by kissing
Inside her, his spirit roams
In each other’s arms they both have homes
Love is in the blood and bones
Together, they can carry many stones
© Delia Ross. 2019
There is a tourniquet on her tongue
There is a swell in her heart where he stung
There are written words that remain unsung
There is a list of wrongs that they all hung
There is a trail of ash where lightning struck
There is a stem remaining from her petals he pluck
There is a girl with hope but never any luck
There is quicksand where her feet are stuck
There are rooms without any remorse
And days we seem to make it worse
Where life exists only in verse
They leak from pages and turn to curse
There is a small window where he may care
But you will never get to meet him there
He will pull the blind so they cannot stare
And wear a mask that says beware
There are stones to throw whether wrong or right
And reasons to keep them all up at night
There are teeth attached to mouths that bite
And mistakes so bright you won’t need a light
There are roads we build of the unknown
With caverns of secrets we will never own
And shame like ice we carve a home
Faces with frowns of moments blown
If you stop and take a look around
At your feet growing up from the ground
It grows so high now past your crown
This is where the seeds of love are found
© Delia Ross. 2019
Take a bite of silence
Spread it like a virus
Watch the hour widen
Feel the pain ripen
As hearts growing calloused
Whose wall is tallest
Add it to the distance
A sweet tongue now viscous
A truth more painful than a lie
A hello more terrifying than goodbye
With all parties now listening
Two of the same are wishing
On a star which died many years ago
What remains is a shadow
Though they wouldn’t know
No they wouldn’t know
He remains as a scarecrow
Protecting over his soul
© Delia Ross. 2019
I have been living in the shadows of the unworthy
I have been skipping in the streets of doubt
I gave a lot of hell to reason
I took a detour on the wrong route
My hands became bloodthirsty
After my tongue experienced drought
I lost the better meaning
Building bridges with no way out
I’d welcome his friends any season
Because mercy was made not to shout
© Delia Ross. 2019
We all have skeletons in our closet
Some wear many masks
We all tuck lies in our pocket
With questions never asked
If any were to audit
They’d see plenty had been tasked
It would hit you like a rocket
The truth would come so fast
And it is as loud as a trumpet
Truth will feel harassed
A sinner of mistruth or a prophet
The unknown is so vast
If only he hadn’t known it
Our love might have last
© Delia Ross. 2019
I am trying to control the volcano
But still it erupts
I tried to adjust my halo
From slipping where it corrupts
My tongue not as tuned as a piano
And it dances where it disrupts
My feet unmatched the tempo
Crushing time where it galloped
But there resides love over my rainbow
And it will never leave you empty or bankrupt
© Delia Ross. 2019
So much confliction
Fight or flight
Wrong or right
Light or night
Blind or sight
Retreat or height
Met every road with conviction
An angels plight
In battle for her knight
Where flames ignite
Love is written on the invite
The cure to my addiction
My heart in restriction
My actions in detention
The longer I’m without – the deeper I’m itching
The louder I shout, the harder I am reaching
But baby, ever since my eyes saw you I can’t stop twitching
Darling, maybe you could stick around and help with my affliction
© Delia Ross. 2019
I reach out and find nothing
Dust from which we are running
A love that keeps us hurting
His words which keep me buzzing
The farther we part the bigger the holes
The darker it gets, the wider it goes
These walls are made of thick shadows
With permanent ink on my heart he stamped foreclose
Trails of my love exposed and leaking
Eyes stained with tears from gentle weeping
Ex lovers like the paparazzi keep creeping
So many hurdles keep him from leaping
If only he would leave me a sign
Cast a light so I can see it shine
Take my love and divide it by nine
Change the story and write a new line
Our love was born from the divine
It will keep growing on through time
No other lover will ever have mine
I will forever be his valentine
© Delia Ross. 2019
Moving forward, turning corners, never finding home
Keep listening, less speaking, and most are always wrong
I go the distance that few ever roam
Universal lessons seem to keep me on my own
Often these tribulations can only be learned alone
Weakened and discouraged I’ll stop but not for long
My heart more calloused and hard like bone
Whatever it takes to keep me strong
With the wisdom of knowing that looking back can turn me to stone
And so this lesson I pack up and carry
The weight of them always seems to vary
Some are black and some are cherry
Some will taste like a strawberry
Some will make you say Hail Mary
Some are found in the morning obituary
Most will leave you cold and weary
With eyes that sting and oh so blurry
These streets have roadkill of doubt and worry
Self-medicate to try and heal
And get the energy to climb uphill
Another battle of self-will
Another demon I have to kill
Swallow the pain just like a pill
Buried deep so I can’t feel
There’s mostly lows and little thrill
And not an exit out of here
By now my soul is feeling ill
The answers are never clear
Tie my boot without goodbye
Can’t sit around to watch me cry
More of those with every sigh
If you could open it and peer inside
It would likely appear tie-dye
Like an endless horizon in the sky
Pinks and purples which mystify
There my soul longs to fly
Not depths of low but certain high
And now not a tear in my eye
You’ll never get close to me
I live by this decree
Very few are ever worthy
But God has a skeleton key
Buried under a Joshua Tree
Searching will leave you thirsty
The depths I’ve cried fill up a sea
And by this I’m already drowning
It’s past my knee
But the undertow came quickly
© Delia Ross. 2019
I hope we can start where we never had stance
The circumstances surrounding just wouldn’t allow it
The messages once sent unclear in meaning
I needed time to understand what I was feeling
Moments caught with you were a dance
And while petite and frightened I still took a chance
Your voice and eyes left me in a trance
But it was really love at first glance
Your existence lifted my spirit
Inside this heart you are my dearest
My soul for you an endless lyric
Dreams of you I frequently visit
It is for you my hands are reaching
My body a temple ready and willing
If you walk my way I promise more healing
© Delia Ross. 2019
We were born inside fires
I know your deepest desires
I know how you are wired
I know your hands are tired
I’ll take whatever you give me
Please though less misery
The bumpy waves were temporary
Side effects of an angel in a hurry
For when I chose to see I saw it all
But honey you are worth the fall
When my thoughts are with you
It feels like deja vu
It’s not just my soul that aches
It’s not just my heart with earthquakes
Every single fiber of my existence
Wants to cover you in radiance
And though you found me running wild
Like an angel whose been exiled
For you, I am a loyal and tame creature
And your touch will ease my fever
Our orbits in a gentle pull
Your kiss warming me like wool
I’ll give you peace until my death
And love you with my very last breath
(I love you forever and ever and ever til death do us part and then even after I’m gone, you’ll feel my afterglow of love wrapping your soul. I belong to you).
She is not a tornado
She is the wind needed to sail
She is not ammo
She is the scope needed in hell
She is not woe
Her smile is hidden under veil
She is the result of a Weeping Willow
Growing taller where she fell
Where others only see shadow
She is the path of a hidden trail
She is not a black hole
She is the breath from which you inhale
She is not the wisdom of Plato
Or the beauty of a comet tail
She is full of love for you
Without measure and off the scale

My eyes with such vision they are a crystal ball
Things that I see leave me clawing up the hall
Revelations so heavy I’m breaking down my wall
Time always settles me but every time I fall
Try to pick myself up but instead I will crawl
Another day is gone without a hello or a call
I’m beginning to think I’ll never hear from him at all
And I guess I’m not as important as I once had thought
© Delia Ross. 2019
I know he is feeling wanton
And there is others that he is wanting
Silence keeps me a prisoner here
Slowly I am starting to disappear
For now my heart feels like cotton
Once hard, then soft, now rotting
Sweet and sour candy
For the forgotten
© Delia Ross. 2019
Taste his lips, his ecstasy
Reminding me the best of me
Warmth and love appearing
Covering as gravity
My temperature rising
Coloring me like flowers
And in this life a rarity
Knowing this is ours
All these hours
No more towers
You inside me hiding
I’ll take us gliding
Spread your wings
Dive into my springs
Ever flowing and never slowing
My spiral just keeps going
And love for you ever growing
There aren’t better things for kings
And off my lip sings
For you anything
You’re everything

I want to walk with him until the end
Stand before hell both condemned
As long as he holds my hand
I can face whatever God will send
I want to touch his face
As the world falls, feel his embrace
Holding me tight to ease the ache
Protecting me from the bite of fate
I want to see his eyes at the end of a rainbow
That is where our kisses go
That is where our love will grow
The end, together, is an afterglow

His eyes
Create galaxies
Heavenly bodies
And earthquakes
In my bones
His eyes
Blue as a sky
For my mind
Shining diamonds
A favorite prize
His eyes an ocean
Deep depths to explore
Creating motion
Sinking evermore
My heart his shore
His eyes like waves
Crash into existence
Can they see
I was made for thee
Without permission
His eyes cast rays
Heating my skin
Warming my days
I can feel again
For him love always
