Street lights are blinding Friends don't need reminding Words are spellbinding If you try Why are you hiding Afraid of me lying The temperature now rising That sound is my battle cry Always denying Your words I'm not buying Left us all crying But I cannot be modified © Delia Ross. 2019

DETAINED
OLD PHOTO, NEW POEM! 'DETAINED' by @poeeternal He makes me want to sin But it'd be heaven I contend The way his words move under my skin I'd fall for him again and again I once made my amend While feeling silence closing in If only there were more moments to spend Would he care…

Severed Connections
Always alone, what else do we know? We have grown accustomed to loom Universally we stand connected By lines to each other's doom How erroneous to accept The progress of dreaming, The TV is on, my computer is streaming All the world is aglow... © Delia Ross. 2010
A Chapter Yet Filled
Who here desire that love be all one needs? Surely, I say not for me. Though love proves a clever disguise, Love does not make one wise. It preys upon the weak The mere beauty only, For purity it speaks. And I a blossom yet to bloom, This cold entraps and seals my wounds. I…
Seconds to Love
He is not the bird in a cage He is not the burn, or the flame He is not the bird falling from the sky He has not the look of abandonment in his eye He is not doubt, he is not the plague He is not boredom nor is he rage There is a…
Tidal Locking
His smile is the brightest lighthouse in the galaxy And even on cold nights, as they always are without him As I'm bound in all my fallacies My chances looking grim He stops and says he enjoys the catastrophes And all is right again Have you felt his gravity Until the doubt sets in? ©…

Womanizer
His words will always belie his truth Underneath the charm a body uncouth Notice how he's always feeding on the youth? Always with his nose sniffing like a sleuth If you knew his heart you'd find he has no ruth © Delia Ross. 2018 Find me on Facebook at PoetryforPeople I'm on Insta too! Keepin'…
Bloodletting
Why we stress on the ones who will never take us notice Adjusting our sights, but never finding focus A socialogical wasteland where most are adulterous Demoralizing women & society knows this You think because you're clean it doesn't make you an accomplice Watching others bleed while you eat is atrocious #metoo © Delia Ross.…
Apathy
I have but apathy to loan Where once a heart of gold Now all but shades of stone The clouds a frown The dirt my home I am but a shadow more The frost withered on the grass A sound upon shattered glass A wall without a door © Delia Ross. 2018 Find me on:…
Torn among the edges still you're kind Try to fill the Earth with lullabies Past the rippled pages laden skies Filled with tears the years you made her cry She left behind a rope that you may climb Above the callous heart disguised as kind In the ashes his lies you will find Broken hearts…
Cacophonous sounds from my tv Lies packaged and wrapped like greetings Designed to give false readings Make your heart stop beating Taking tours in the wasteland Never was a big fan He made me cry in Dublin A mistress as his right hand Said he'd treat me like a royal But none of you are…
Mr. No name
There's not a lot left when there's
nothing to lose
I'd settle for less but
there's nothing to choose
Outcasts
The moon and I, clothed in our own light, outcasts from the sun. We share a similar delight, that is of course the night. Alone, yet one.

Love hath abandoned all
Ahh but who doth not judge the outer appurtenance which is full of flaw? I too shall like to see beyond the hollow scar. Frail and meek, I seek to find comfort in man which bringeth me none not. Love hath abandoned all but my shadow. Until I am merely dust in the wind. I…
If you remember
He took a train to the north To tie a loose end And said not to worry She’s a lady friend And so was set forth A river of tears That he would soon Apprehend My freedom is more Important he said Your pain is what I give you instead The poor little lover Was…
Prisoner of Love
I wrote something new last night. Often my poems have hidden meanings. How do you interpret this poem?
Sunken Treasure by Delia Ross
As his eyes shine so too the Sun and rise and rise they do More substance in those two alone than a thousand in my view I wonder if he notices when Jupiter stares too No sorrows when it's raining here his skies are always blue As far as I can tell as far as…

The sun peeks through the clouds, as if he's hiding his head in shame All the pain she suffered left lingering in vain As if mourning the seasons would promise a better day I need nothing more, ever love (c) Delia Ross. 2013. All Rights Reserved.
The love he had And love he lost And love he’ll never have Set forth the words he scribed himself Upon his epitaph Pardon the intrusion It’s a simple game of illusion You love; you die (c) John Fair and Delia Ross 2010, All Rights Reserved
American Honey
The past wears the face of tomorrow A guard left post; abandoned we follow Joy a dust in humans so hollow All in all its trouble we swallow The lies, the slumber, null sorrow © Delia Ross 2013, All Rights Reserved
Black Star
To dream a life of pleasure Reside a world of hell Demands partial reason Denies existence well A star so dimly lit Still reached the darkest soul And in her heart he bit Consumed it left a hole © Delia Ross 2013, All Rights Reserved
