Dancing with Daisies
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
A thousand
tiny suns shone
beneath her naked feet
as she danced
the meadow
woven around her
as a shawl
scent of summer
in her hair
and the breeze
cool upon her face
no gypsy ever felt as free
as she did

right now.
As some felt my last daisy poem too sad

Determined by Daisies
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
She loves me she loves me not
the daisy head lays bear
but I'm unsure it's prophecy
as I sit and ponder there
how can a flower know the heart
or feel the pain of ache
and yet I fear it's honesty
as I feel my poor heart break
all day within the meadow sat
one thousand daisies dead
and still my love lies bleeding
because of what they said
she loves me she loves me not
what cannot speak can't lie
and like their petals in the wind
my love as passed me by


I

Crushed
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
Once
your words were angels wings
light and uplifting

Now
they are army boots
trampling my hopes and dreams

Am I now dirt
to wipe from your sole
or can I be
once more your soul mate

She had lips
to hang my words upon
wreathed
in smoke and half spoken promises...

her accent
accentuated my need
to taste her words
overlapping my own
in one sweet


kiss.

Don't Say Goodbye
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
You arise
as I take your place
to feel your warmth once more,
your pillow still fresh
with scent and dreams
comforts me as I pull tight your sweet embrace
trapped
within soft cotton folds,
smiling as I am all consumed within you
you return and sigh
bending low to kiss once more before leaving  
lips that  have yet to speak
for fear the word

goodbye.

DieingEmbers Sep 2012
Too long have I been absent

from you

my friends.
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
I picked a paper rose
from a hat
of withered straw
and placed it in your summer hair
upon that
windy moor

I plucked plastic cherries
and the faded
lemon bow
and ******* your hair in pigtails
and brushed
away the snow

I up turned the bonnet
and then filled it
up with peat
and we planted in it daisies
from around
your naked feet

Let us return in spring time
to that spot
amongst the grass
where a Tongue-tied individual
won the heart
of his fair lass.

What you mean to me
DieingEmbers Aug 2012
You're the missing shirt and mismatched socks
You're the barbie dolls and the wooden blocks
youre the iou in the money box

that makes me stop and smile.

You're the open milk and burnt black toast
you're  the dented wing from the unseen post
you're the gravy poured on my Sunday roast

that makes me stop and smile.

You're the scent of marigolds and bleach
you're the persistant itch I cannot reach
you're the shells we found on last years beach

that make me stop and smile.

You're the start of life and end of days
you're the burning hope as the fiddler plays
you're the sweetest thoughts and gentle ways

that makes me stop and smile.

Dead End Rodeo
DieingEmbers Aug 2012
She begged him not to do it
as he walked toward the pen
where they held a bull so evil
it had killed a dozen men

But he just smiled and kissed her
and climbed up the wooden gate
then he saddled up the daemon
that had killed twelve men to date

She screamed its unlucky
you're the thirteenth man all said
to try and tame this here creature
that so far left twelve men dead

He tried to calm her fear
with a smile and with a look
as the gate was thrown wide open
and the ground beneath him shook

He failed to grip the reigns
as his hands were dripping wet
and the bull became a whirlwind
angered by the scent of sweat

The ground rushed to meet him
but the bulls horns caught him clean
and the hooves kicked down upon him
as twelve men became thirteen

She wept as they gave her
his old cowboy hat of black
and then she walked away in anger
with the promise she'd be back
And she may be...

Dance till Dawn
DieingEmbers Aug 2012
There's a fire burning slowly
on the beach
beside the bay
where a woman's dancing naked
kicking up
the ocean spray
her eyes have caught
the moonlight
in her come to bed allure
as she awaits
the coming
of the dawn and nothing more.

A willing prisoner
DieingEmbers Aug 2012
He said :-

This love's a place I cannot live
and the prison I can't escape,
for my love you freely sacrificed
and my dreams you nightly ****.

You are the pillow on my face
you are the needle in my arm,
you are the bullet in the brain
and the pills within my palm.

But I could never hate you babe
I could truly ner' be free,
for you are the rhyme and rythmn
that flows inside of me.

So I am holding on and digging in
holding you and holding ground,
for I know you feel the same way babe
at having me around.

So plump the pillow roll my sleeve
aim straight and swollow hard,
and when we play the hand we're dealt
I will be your joker card.

So holding on to promises
holding ground whilst holding you,
I will take life's slings and arrows
and see this sentence through.

En este su beso

El hablar en lengua dual
con ojos jeweled
ella susurró suave en acalorado respiran...

usted es mi primer pensó en la mañana
mi palabra final
luz colgada en labios iluminados por la luna
mi rezo silencioso,
mi sueño más suave,
mi fantasía acalorada.

Rece me dicen que soy el suyo

y hágame creer

en este su



The dual-language talk
with jeweled eyes
she whispered soft hot breath ...

you are my first thought in the morning
My final word
light hanging on my lips moonlit
my silent prayer,
my softest dream
my hottest fantasy.

Pray tell me I'm yours

and let me know

in this, your kiss.

Tis not enough

tears you from my arms

You have the only key
to my heart...

safely hidden in your eyes.

It rests there
amongst
the hopes and dreams
we share with no one
but ourselves.

With a whisper and a prayer
a promise and a wanting
you guard it...

safe behind your smile

and soft upon your hand
a space
reserved for me
to fashion from my heart
a ring of gold.

Oh Hippy Hippypotamus
can't ride a bike
can't catch a bus
but unlike you or I or us
he wont complain
or make a fuss
he never swears or dares to ***
cause he's well bred

Does this work or should I stick to my usual 8/6/8/6 beat honesty please
DieingEmbers Jul 2012
You can wrap me in a blanket
you can tie it up with rope
you can throw me in the river
and then pray that I don't float

You can hang me from an oak tree
you can bind me to a birch
you can beat this poor piñata
like a bird knocked from his perch

you can hang up when I call you
you can take away my key
you can redirect my letters
but you'll still never be free

for I swore that I would love you
through the good times and the bad
and I know I drive you crazy
but I love it when you're mad

So put down the garden shears
Lay down that loaded gun
and come into the bedroom
cause angry *** is so much fun
DieingEmbers Jul 2012
I remember the day
they cut you out...

my paper dolly I joked
as they handed you to me

naked and silent
you snuggled in my arms

then they took you away
how you screamed

you cried every visiting time
till I arrived after I left

you grew we grew closer
my shadow others joked

now it's I that nervously awaits
until you come after you've left
I only have to leave the room and she follows to see where I'm going nothing strange in that but she's fifteen going on forty lol
DieingEmbers Jul 2012
I joked " that's mine "
you throw it down
you stomp away
you slam the door

" I'm kidding " I shout
you're silent
you're distant
you laugh no more

" grow up " I scream
temper rising
Anger growing
I walk away

" grow up " I repeat
to myself
to my inner child
that spoiled today
Arguing with my daughter over a sausage roll, how quickly a joke can become a row. Childish I know but I hate myself all the same for losing my temper.
DieingEmbers Jul 2012
She licks my lips like envelopes
and seals them with a kiss,
then she stamps her name upon them

I saw you today and.....froze

unknowingly
I touched my lower lip
where your kiss drew blood
tore flesh...

I wanted to curl up
but why
so you could kick me while I'm down

AGAIN

I felt the sweat on my brow...
hot
and sticky
I smelt the blood
saw the porcelain fragments
at my feet

I saw you today
and wanted to prove
I had moved on

to mature.
