I saw a Faery
DieingEmbers Jul 2012
I saw a faery
I think that she saw me
though mummy said
maybe instead
it was a bumble bee

I saw a faery
I know I did I cry
But daddy said
maybe instead
it was a butterfly

I saw a faery
I know I did I squeak
and grandpa said
by the flower bed
I too saw her last week
If mom and dad say no go ask grandad - a saying in England

Spiders Second Web
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
Spider spun her silken web
to catch herself a suitor
but flies she thought
are not my sort
for their ways just wouldn't suit her
and then a moth
whilst chewing cloth
said I shall be thy tutor
what you must do
I'm telling you
is buy yourself a rooter
For there is a web
for you to neb
With men you'd find much cuter
Neb is nosey look at

Awaken My Senses
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
She opened wide drawing me to look with hungry eyes

Stroking slowly her soft flesh with trembling and eager hands

Breathing slowly in her musty aromatic scent of ageless passion

My senses here now aroused by sight touch and smell  

How I long to devour her to know her words.
Books and the written word is anything else quite as ****
DieingEmbers Apr 2013
Enslaved
by the very thing
that set me

A Fool For Love
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
Soft sighs from tender lips give ache
To heart in shadow made afraid,
to dare to beat to burst to break
for fear his words be over played.

His fingers pluck the withered bloom
to dry his eyes of wasted tears,
then casts it out into her room
and moves in shade as she appears.

No artists brush nor sculptor hand
er formed so sweet a female face,
nor could the playwrite nor poet grand
could pen such form with natural grace.

Again I fain from being seen
and risk rejection in your eyes,
as there you stand my love my queen
and I your fool wear nights disguise.

Morning born on silken wings
Illuminates where once love stood,
as unrequitted love now brings
a longing ache to cool the blood.

Can Never Get Enough Of You
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
Carbonated kisses tickle my tongue
as steel edged lips
force me to tilt back my head
exposing my neck,
my adams apple bobbing
as i am soda-nised
gulping for air.

My hands slowly fondling your wetted curves

Come once more
fill my throat and make me gag

each fluid movement
enflames my aroused senses

slate my thirst
bring me to the edge of pleasure
my sweet

indulge me once more


with carbonated kisses.
Diet coke my favourite tipple
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
In the darkness burns a lantern
held aloft by shepherds hand
calling home his flock like children
here within their promised land

Shadows flee before his glory
let the fallen now rejoice
as he raises all that see him
and except his love by choice

Fishermen and farmers too him
nets cast out and chaff removed
laying bounty there before him
whom by death his friendship proved

Tax collecter counting tribute
casts off shackles made of gold
swapping riches for his freedom
as he joined the growing fold

Sick and dying by the wayside
touch his hem and feel reborn
taking up their beds behind him
praising the risen son this morn

So this morning soft at daybreak
as the sun doth grace the skies
think of he whom died to save you
defeating death with love not lies

Sweet Wetted Kisses
DieingEmbers Oct 2012
Drop by any time
just tap softly upon the window
I'll hear you
and smile...

Flow gently like music for my soul
comfort me
caress my fevered brow
easing me to sleep...

Each fluid movement
each wetted kiss
entreats me to forget my burdens
my friend...

sweet evening rain.

then why did

Is the reason my dear
that you're truly
so dear to
my aching

Fragrent Fantasies
DieingEmbers Oct 2012
Rolling over softly as not to wake you
I find you gone
my hand feeling
the all too familiar warmth
of your absence
my face presses gently
against your pillow
inhaling the scent of clean fresh hair
I cannot help but smile,

your night dress rests folded
by the bed
I take it pressing it to my face
breathing you in deeply...

perfume and anti-perspirant
mingle and merge
outlining images of you within my minds eye
and there still
remains a trace
of cocoa and coffee bean
and softly beneath them all
a hint of sweat and heated touch of passion

and again I smile
more wickedly
and press you hard against me
entranced
unable to breathe
for fear
the fragrance fleeting,

Once more I press you to my lips
and taste you in a kiss
before
once more closing my eyes
to sleep
for chance to dream

of you my dream within a dream.

DieingEmbers Dec 2012
Earthbound angel...

pray not weep
for lose of heaven

as I will show you
such love
and tenderness
as to rival even the beauty
of the stars
now hung lack lustered
in a forlorn sky...

let my tears reflect in mine own eyes
your pain

let them wash over you
and cleanse
from you
the sin done unto by others

let them be the waters of life
that bring you
such sweet succour
refreshing
tainted lips with renewed faith
in love and man

Bathe your soul within their depths
and know
though others sought to bring you diamonds
I will baptise and exorcise their daemons
from your mind

Earthbound Angel let me at least try
to heal thee.

Captured Contours
DieingEmbers Nov 2012
I lay my face against thine own
here captured within the moment
within the gentle indentation...

soft cotton kisses taken
freely and frequently
from pillow puffed lips

as traces of your unique scent remain
to ease your absence

my fingers playfully tease your hair
left as if a love token
amongst the yet warm creases
of your immaterial form

I smile with eyes now wet
yet shed no tears
for sadness alludes me in these moments
of solitary joy

for you are not gone from me
as long as I can hold you close

as I have done so many nights
with hewed hands
that caress with such tendeness
your features

here captured forever in my heart.

Nightmares
wearing hobnailed boots
kick the **** out of my sweetest dreams
silencing the laughter of my inner child
stomping mouths
full of broken teeth
and screams
pleading eyes once bright
stubbed out
like half smoked cigerttes
and fingers broke
that dared signal for mercy
from the beating met
bodies that danced
now twitch
in final painful throes
as they lie
trampled
beneath onslaught of blows
yet in death
the peace once sought
is found
for insomnia has no hold
on those that sleep
beneath the ground.

Passion Flower
DieingEmbers Sep 2012
Incense of Jasmine insenses my desires
as garlands entwine her fragranced hair
my eyes take in her beauty
as I breath in her aromatic allure
through perfumed promises
and floral flirtations
heady dreams infused with passions kiss
play softly upon my mind
as I once more
with gentle hands
pluck her from the ground
and hold her close
forever mine
and forever Jasmine.
Inspired by my good friend Bala and his comment about Indian ladies wearing garlands of Jasmine to lure their men.

Swear It's Love.
DieingEmbers Mar 2013
I cannot swear I love you
as the roses love the rain
but I can promise you darling
I'll never cause you pain

I cannot swear I love you
as the night sky loves the moon
but I can promise you darling
I'll leave you no time soon

I cannot swear I love you
as the mountains love the snow
but I can promise you darling
that I'll never let you go

I cannot swear I love you
as the ocean loves the shore
but I can promise you darling
all these things and thousands more

Natural Love
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
I gave to her a honey comb
to brush her golden hair,
and placed on her a daisy chain
around her neck so fair.
Foxgloves I gave to warm her hands
and blue bells for her wrist,
then from the mountain air I stole
the pine fresh perfumed mist.
A dress made up of fallen leaves
and stitched with silk worm thread,
and there a spider spun a veil
to place upon her head.
I gave to her a sweet bouquet
of fresh assorted blooms,
and took her hand and gave to her
a ring of wild mushrooms.
Beneath the stars I gave my heart
and to me she gave her kiss,
as two lives where bound as one
in the act of wedded bliss.

Night Vigil II
DieingEmbers Oct 2012
My heart softly beats
beneath her gentle breast
that with each tender breath
keeps me further from my rest
for how could I sleep
knowing each night I waste
the chances given
to gaze in solitude upon her...

my peace of mind lays there with her
within those restful eyes
upon those yet still lips
and here,
here within this perfect bussom
beats my heart

forever.

In foreign fields
a marker stands
to honour sons
from other lands
it's painted red
and green and black
to ner' forget
the ones held back
in Flanders fields
the poppy blooms
to give respect
to honoured tombs
fathers sons
and brothers too
laid down their lives
for me and you
Poppies are worn to remember those that fell to up hold our freedom

Waste Not These Moments
DieingEmbers Dec 2012
She bit down 
drawing blood from tensened shoulder,
rocking gently
as I fought to hold her.
Writhing flesh 
on flesh and bone,
cussing my name 
in empassioned tone.
Nails tearing 
sweat stained skin,
sinking down 
drinking me in.
Head thrown back
eyes wide shut,
slapping my thighs
with reddened ****.
Tongues flaying flesh 
from up turned necks,
teeth spittle stained
with whitened flecks.
Fingers tangled
pulling hair,
Beyond the point
of sweet despair.
Hips gyrating
screaming mouth,
as once again
the north meet south.
Passion spent
and shared and tasted,
nothing wanted
nothing wasted.

Old Bear. ( childrens )
DieingEmbers Dec 2012



Billy the Bear he had no hair,
as bald as bald could be.
And never mind that he's half blind,
with but one eye to see.

His nose is broke his voice a croak,
his arms and legs quite weak.
but that's okay you'd hear him say,
if only he could speak.

Cause though he's old he's never cold,
not tucked up next to me.
he's kissed good night and cuddled tight,
and loved so thoroughly.
Thought it was time to pen something sweet. But one eye is a play on button eye

Winters Kiss

Winter kisses...

whispered wisps
of breathy promises
exhaled soft
from trembling lips

her words
lingering amongst the smoke
of some ethereal
cigerette

cold fingers dance
upon my spine
as I shiver

is it the cold
or more so her eyes...

soft warm coals
smoldering
against the whiteness
of her skin

smiling.

Warm lips
and slow fluid movements
move me

as once more
I melt into her arms

and am all consumed

Pillow Talk
DieingEmbers Nov 2012
If she could speak
what stories would she tell you...

would she speak of all the times
she's been my shoulder
to cry upon
wiping tears from
puffy eyes

would she whisper soft your name
as I have
a thousand times
while squeezing her tight

would she recall the times
she's comforted me
when madness racked my mind
or gently nursed me
dabbing my fevered brow
when illness confined me to my bed

would she speak of all the times
she lay with me
supporting me
through long lonely
insomnia fueled nights

would she laugh
when she jokes about
all the times she's covered my embarrassment
or ran with me
naked
through unlit rooms

and would she promise you
one thing...

that you can share my dreams.
