The Recipe Of Romance
DieingEmbers Oct 2012
Take two glasses of wine
add one lit candle
a dash of soft music
a pinch of amour
and let simmer all evening

add kisses to taste

and voila

One romantic evening for two.

The Watcher 10w x 5
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
Would that this watch but knew it's face mocks me

It's miserly hands always clawing away at our precious time

Those ****** fingers always tap tap tapping, hurrying us along

No heart was ever as cold nor beat so unfeeling

Tis not miles that separate as harshly as time itself

So Alike
DieingEmbers Dec 2012
How can it be
you're just like me
and yet
we've never met

we laugh the same
know films by name
and quote the same sad song

but can't recall
meeting at all
though yet it don't seem wrong

the simple joy
of girl meets boy
and boy it feels so right

sometimes it seems
God answers dreams
as he did for us that night

No silver bells nor cockleshells
no ring a ring a Rosie

Just messing with Mary Mary quite contrary and ring a ring a roses

Passion Within Every Pause
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
I lean in to kiss your neck
pausing momentarily
to inhale both fragrant hair
and trace of scent
warmed soft upon your skin
lips graze gently
tasting
savouring upon lips your flesh
brushing aside your hair
as you tilt your head
allowing a rivulet of kisses
to replace cascading curls
my hand cups lightly your chin
spinning you slowly around
allowing time for eyes
to drink in your flushed features
without words in silence of moving lips
we kiss
tongues playfully engage in touch
as I pull you close
fingers splayed teasing tangled locks
unseen by eyes shut tight
breathing you in
in second hand breaths
again I pause to gaze into your eyes
and smile
my hands upon your lower back
yours upon my shoulders
as again I wear your kiss upon my mouth
in breathy promises
we speak only of tomorrow and of it only.
Done properly even kissing can be sensual

Pleasure born of Pain
DieingEmbers Jan 2013
My heart must be into S+M
bound as it is
to yours.

The very thought of losing you
causes it pain

and yet the restraints
put upon it

cause this love muscle to throb

aching to be touched
to feel the sweet
release
of her soft lips.


once more to be broken
upon her rack

my confession drawn from me
by the lash
of her tongue upon my naked flesh

I'll ner' denounce this love
for I'd rather lie to her
than lie
to her.
Lie to her is lie by her.

I've never shared your bed

yet I

share your dreams.
DieingEmbers Jan 2013
In what light am I undone
that morning stars lead you away
and with the rising of the sun
you bid farewell you cannot stay.

For morn brings mourning to my eyes
and here upon my trembling lips
lie echos of those gentle sighs
that with this night so gently slips.
from hands that plead with lack of voice
yet speak aloud both want and need
for this is circumstance not choice
that seperates and intercedes.

Pray twilight hear my anguished heart
and offer solace to my soul
as I once more am torn apart
without the love that makes me whole.

So I with muted tongue your name pronounce
as darkness kills stone dead our bliss
and mornings manic smile doth trounce
the chance of one last goodnight kiss.
DieingEmbers Mar 2013
It took every ounce of self control
not
to kiss you...

not to take you in my arms

inhaling deep
the very scent of floral meadows
from your hair

not to hold your hands
with fingers trembling

nor to speak the words openly...

that I have
so often penned
in secret pained poetic silence

but for one moment of weakness
I could have made known
my heart...

my feelings

but no

nor would I
risk all we are ... all we have

for one moment
of
madness.
Just a tired rambling mind trying to make sense of love maybe I need sleep lol

painful memories
and the scars
of moments past.

Moonlight and Mourning
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
Paddling
in the sea of tranquility
as solar winds
blow
stardust from your hair...

skimming
stones across the emptiness
of space
that flare and burn,
spinning webs of astral sparks
to capture
the imagination
as children wish watching them fall.

Sunlight captures your
retreating shadow
as once more the dark passers
into day...

and once more my wish

goes

unanswered.

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...

Little Dove
DieingEmbers Dec 2012
Little dove
brought down by mans desire
to hurt
so tender a heart
of one so beautiful

her once gentle wings
now lay beneath her body

broken by her fall
by his deceitful lies
that stole from her her purity...


River otter weeps at sight of one so pained
his tears cleansing the wounds
anothers words
had caused

his touch comforting
easing her fears
as he uplifted with care what hate
cast down

he tendered to her night and day
and with kisses
healed
her wings allowing once more
her heart to soar...

Little dove flew far from him
weeping
fearing to stay
for fear he too would hurt her

or worse

she would hurt him in return...

but return she must
for she would rather know just one more day
within his arms
than a life time of doubt and regret.

Monster Beneath The Bed
DieingEmbers Feb 2012
The Slobber Mouth lives deep down south,
hunting the Ner' do wells.
with candy canes and wooden trains,
with buzzers and with bells.

With fur of green, that's never clean,
and eyes so big and red.
Four filthy paws with unclipped claws,
he fills the woods with dread.

Spiked tail and horns and teeth like thorns,
fixed in a scarey smile.
A ******* nose and ragged clothes,
make up his unique style.

Baiting his traps with midday naps,
false promises and lies.
with wasted hours and April showers,
and soft spoke lullabyes.

Dust bunnies hop but never stop,
and never are they caught.
For they are wise to slobbers lies,
and all the gifts he's brought.
 
The Mites and Motes in winter coats,
so quickly scurry by.
for they too know never to go,
where Slobbers presents lie.

The feather bed floats over head,
the carpet thick with fluff.
He stamps his feet knowing he's beat
and screams enoughs enough.

He packs his sock and checks the clock,
so soon the house will rise.
Stomping away to sleep all day,
and hide from prying eyes.

Beneath your bed this sleepy head,
sits down to scheme and plan.
Tomorrow night if all goes right,
I'll catch the Bogeyman.

On tippy toes in bedtime clothes,
his teddy in his hand.
He waves goodnight to all in sight,
and leaves for faery lands.

With jagged nib
I slit my wrists
and tensed my arm
and squeezed my fist

spilling the life
we could not share
upon the page
headed - despair

in reddened ink
for all to see
that without you
there is no me

My words are smudged
my work misread
the meaning now
like me lies dead

My coffin dear is leather bound
with foreword left to chance

for fear thy sound

the longing of my soul

her gentle lips
pressed against mine own
relieving my want
my need
in tender motion
of a kiss.
