You asked me if I'd like a coffee

I never drank it before bed

and you replied

Distant Heart Beat
DieingEmbers Aug 2012
Tis not enough
that time
tears you from my arms
and distance
keeps you from my sight
now the Internet
isolates  you from my presence

thank the Lord
no one
nor anything
can remove you from my heart.
Long distance is hard enough without further factors

Park It
DieingEmbers Dec 2012
Let's just walk
she said...

her hand gently
taking mine and leading me
back to yesterday,
just sit and I'll return
your smile
she whispered
her soft lips
brushing gently against
my ear.
She pulled back
pushing
me away
again            and            again
all the time
watching me
from a distance

as yesterday came rushing back
kicking it's legs
and
smiling.
Sometimes you just need to be a child again to find your smile mine was on the swings in the park all along lol.

Why Search For Me
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
look not for me in rainbows
or quietly flowing streams,
seek me not in meadows
or the softness of your dreams.

I'm not amongst the flowers
or fruit ladening the trees,
nor am I the bowers
or the gentle morning breeze.

For why search when I'm with you
in both your heart and mind,
so think of us as I do
as two hearts one love doth bind.

Never Alone
DieingEmbers Jun 2012
It's in those moments
when you're absent

you seem closest...

That is when every smell
every sound
every mundane thing brings
you to softly

to my mind
deeply engraved forever
on my heart...

when on my own

I am never alone

for you are always with me
a part of me
that is never apart.

Missing You
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
If only
I weren't so lonely
and the night was not so long

my heart aches
as it softly breaks
as I listen to our song

why oh why
do my poor eyes cry
please tell me if this is wrong.

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.

Pain
DieingEmbers May 2012
I am the night
unlit
weeping
broken crystals
from open wounds
that rend
my cheeks in flowing
trails of sparks
that
burn forever
upon my blistered lips
screaming

screaming

screaming heal me.

For Why Does She Weep
DieingEmbers Nov 2012
The night sky weeps...

her sorrow known only to the stars
that gather

offering her their comfort
and support

freely offering to cast themselves down
to retrieve her tears

if she will once more
but smile

Singing Off Key
DieingEmbers Oct 2012
I heard her laugh
it was as if
every bird at once
found voice and sang
soft in unison
the song my heart alone
so long
had sung off key.

She was the music
that gave my words their meaning.
