Those eyes

I brush back from
blushing cheeks

strands

she knows not

Strip Teas
DieingEmbers Dec 2012
See her shake her *****
as she stirs those pots and pans,
her hips a thing of beauty
as she taps them with her hands.
Her slippers keeping rhythm 
as she shimmies cross the floor,
and she's singing along with em'
as she rocks from 12 till 4.
She's a twisting and a turning
as she raises up the heat,
with the passion she's a cooking
in her crazy tea time beat.
Clapping hands and jiving
as she adds a pinch of spice, 
now her upper bodies writhing 
as she slaps her buttocks twice.
there's hand prints on her bottom 
where the flour left it's trace,
and she shakes em' cause she's got em'
with a smirk upon her face.
Now she's potato mashing
as she did back in her day,
and boy she still looks smashing
as her hips so softly sway.
Now shes Serving up and beckons
for me to pass my plate,
asking if I fancy seconds 
then the meal will have to wait.
Now she's walking to the bedroom
with a two step on her mind,
and I turn up the volume 
and close the door and draw the blind.
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
I have loved you
from afar
cloaked in shadow...

I have gazed
upon your beauty
from behind...

I have followed
all your life
in a scrapbook...

With color photos
no one else
as ever seen...

I have wept into
your hankie
when you dropped it...

I have sat upon
a chair
you left still warm...

I have kissed
you goodnight
through your window...

But when I left I wiped it clean.

Insomnia serves me coffee
in a cracked china mug...

Two Charms One Wish
DieingEmbers Dec 2012
She dropped her anchor
in my port
and then her heart
charming I thought
silver dripping
from my lips
a mere link
to finger tips
that offered me
her clasp undone
chaining two lives
forever one
a bracelet on a silken wrist
her hand upon mine own
as reconnected they became
keys to our happy home.
9-2-5 I work to buy
a new charm every year
and add a fresh new chapter
to a love so rare and dear.
DieingEmbers Oct 2012
How long must I suffer in silence
my need of you?

For...

I've told the wind
and shared my tears with the rain
I've written I love you's in both sand and snow

But...

you never heard
nor tasted all those nights my pain
or even read but once my hearts I told you so

So...

answer me if I cannot
in open celebration of our love
make known my heart and souls desire

Then...

where may it be shown
as not to cast upon our love such doubt
as to make my heart a liar.

Depressed
DieingEmbers Jun 2012
My mind pays me no mind

as voices echo in empty rooms
mocking me
with mine own words.

As

Ravens fly behind my eyes
in spiralling darkness
uprooting
fears thought buried deep

they rend the veil
spilling my dreams
leaving me feeling worthless
alone

leave me alone

why did YOU leave me alone.


all is black all is silent all is lost
Last night the darkness was around me and within me
DieingEmbers Oct 2012
She removed it slowly
her eyes wide
as she held it in her hand
mouth wet
lips licked in anticipation
of it's taste
she had waited till they were alone
and now could wait no more
she eased it between her wet willing lips
moaning with the illicit pleasure
as it's thickness and length
filled her mouth



oh how it felt good to be bad
breaking her diet for a king size Mars Bar.

I Have The Mumps
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
I have the mumps and itchy lumps,
my tummy's awful sore.
I have a cough, my arm's fell off,
my throat is red and raw.

I have big spots and polka dots,
flashing before my eyes.
My legs are broke, no it's no joke,
as if I would tell lies.

I've got the flu, Atchoo Atchoo,
I'll just miss school today.
Of course I'm sick, no it's no trick,
oh what a thing to say.

I've got the shakes and my head aches,
it hurts so very bad.
And what a bind, I've gone night blind,
why are you laughing Dad?

I almost forgot about tooth rot,
and frostbite of the toes.
I feel unwell, I cannot smell,
because of my blocked nose.

I'm far too ill to take a pill,
for they just makes me gag.
I feel so sick, please Daddy quick,
pass me the paper bag.

No need to phone Dr.SawBone,
he is a busy man.
I need no shots or creams for spots,
just soda and a fan.

My speech is slurred, my vision blurred,
oh mummy I should rest.
Now that's not fair, as if I'd dare,
to dodge my English test.

You're not impressed, I should get dressed,
and stop this sad charade.
My Dads no fool, he phoned the school,
and said I'd overlaid.

Soul Searching
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
Yet by nights celestial light
when stars arrest in lovers heart,
and lungs made lead afear to breathe
and souls unwhole are torn apart.

The waters edge tinged by tears
salt upon salt a plaintiff squall,
as buzzards circle mocking me
as or' our lives shadows fall.

Whilst given time alone to think
my ev'ry thought returns to you,
and moments spent in shaded glen
doing the things lovers do.

So hear my pain and heal my heart
just promise my dark won't our souls part.
I'm a depressive romantic sometimes their an hard mixture, takes a special kind of love to live in the shadow of depression
DieingEmbers Nov 2012
Doctor Doctor I've got an ache
have you a pill that I could take,
to cease this beating in my chest
to give me peace to let me rest.

It doesn't hurt no not as such,
it's just I long to feel her touch.
to taste her lips to smell her skin,
can you not see the state I'm in.

She is my drug my cigarette,
my alcohol my need to bet.
The air I breath the food I eat,
the very ground beneath my feet.

The first the last my ev'ry thought,
the web of dreams in which I'm caught.
The scent I love after a storm,
the way her kisses keep me warm.

On second thoughts doctor forget,
I ever came we ever met.
For it would seem she gives me pain,
because her love drives me insane.

So let me ache for you ... Alone,
and let my need of you be known.
My summer love my Autumn tryst
just know one thing... you're always missed.

She broke up the unions
and told us such grand tales
now tonight four nations rise again

we will raise our glasses proudly
and toast the ****** burning
cause once she's on the devils spit
that ***** is now for turning
No love lost for thatcher in Yorkshire we willbe singing dancing and drinking this night

Cracked Spine. (a love poem)
DieingEmbers Jan 2013
I lay myself open to you...

Like a thumb worn novel

aspiring to be a classical romance...

coming off as a cheap
dime store
rag

My lines less Tennyson and Shelley
more Micky Spillani

yet feel the warmth of each page
once pressed against
my aching
breast

for it heard my needful heart
tasted my tears

Read between the lines
find the nervous boy behind the man

all fingers and thumbs
typing out words his Tongue
could never
speak

Each comma each fullstop
an anxious
drawn
out breath...

as I thought of you discarding me

in pursuit of passion

yet know the foreword and the photograph
do no justice to my ache
for you

to find me
there amongst the metaphors

waiting...

for you alone
to know the real me.

The Empty Box At Christmas
DieingEmbers Dec 2012
An empty box a pair of socks,
some paper plates and string.
Some bright felt tips and paper clips,
and lots of other things.

Now suddenly the box you see,
as turned into a plane.
A toilet roll a plastic bowl,
and now it is a train.

A fair ground ride a place to hide,
or speedy racing cars.
A comfy bed a flying sled,
a rocket to the stars.

So leave the toys cause girls and boys,
prefere the box you see.
It's safe and fun for ev'ry one,
and best of all it's free.

He sails the seas in search of cheese
salt crackers and fresh bread,
pickles and jam and maybe ham
and apples green and red.

As salt waves Lap he checks his map
His compass points him east,
to cracked plate isle where with a smile
he hopes to find his feast.

He takes the oar and rows once more
past wrecks of sunken chips
where octopi with beady eye
swim slow beneath his ship

Beneath the calm a suckered arm
shoots out and grabs the sail
Struggling to stand his sword in hand
he strikes to no avail

As out the blue another two
take hold upon his boat
a crack a crash as others bash
he fights to stay afloat

His sword goes whack the arm pulls back
the octopus descends
Sobbing wet tears he reappears
and said can't we be friends

For I've no one for they've all gone
and left me here he said
So can we please travel the seas
in search of bread and cheese

Jacob said aye and winked his eye
and said this will be fun
Friendship he thought cannot be bought
it must with love be won

Friendship be said beats cheese and bread
laughter sweeter than jam
I wish you could feel half as good
and happy as I am
Working on latest Jacob pirate poem for publisher thought I'd run it by you for criticism .. In search of bread and cheese should be cheese and bread will edit later as not sure of final two stanzas

Instead of last two stanzas thought maybe this one



Jacob said aye and winked his eye
and offered him his paw
so with a smile to cracked plate isle
as friends they sailed once more.

Kings In Cardboard Castles
DieingEmbers Jun 2013
See the king in his cardboard castle
beneath his bridge of broken dreams
by the river of remorsefulness
that like the voices nightly screams
There's a beer can full of memories
and a burger full of death
and the things he thought he'd ougth to say
dangling from his breath
theirs stains upon his royal garb
that show just where he's been
and an emptiness within his eyes
that hide the things he's seen
his queen lies in her carriage
amongst her treasure so
and he wheels her round the city
when the lamp lights softly glow
Nobody ever sees them
nobody even cares
for the royals in their boxes
watching operas without airs
spare them not a second thought
as if you even would
for they have found each other
and a palace by the wood
they care not if you see them
as their lives a faery tale
in their kingdom made of cardboard
eating pizza three days stale
From a line by angelofprofanity from their poem In this world their permission sought and granted thanks Angel.

I want to rock you till you scream for sleep

I want to hold you till you lose your poise

I want to break you till you make that noise

I want to squeeze you till we feel like one

I want to please you till you've come and gone

I want to hurt you hear you scream my name

I want to tease your body till you go insane

I want to taste you in every bead of sweat

I want to find you in the warmth of wet

I want to see behind the tension in misty eyes

I want to break your defences with your plaintiff cries

I want to pen words upon you others can't read

I want to plow your furrow and plant my seed

I want to curse the lord almighty in risen steam

I want to be the beast that haunts waking dreams

I want to share heaven with a taste of hell

I wanna be the sin for which an angel fell

If I Were An Animal
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
Oh how I wish to be a fish
And Swim the silver stream
splashing about with river trout
would really be a dream.

To be a bird you say absurd 
but I would love to fly, 
to dive to swoop to loop the loop 
Touching the deep blue sky.

Now fancy that to be a cat 
and play outside all night, 
to take the air without a care 
beneath the soft moonlight.

A dog maybe would more be me 
chasing a rubber ball, 
With one desire a nice warm fire 
where I could curl up small.

Or a giraffe oh what a laugh
With neck so long and thin,
Eating the leaves from slender trees
With spots upon my skin.

No wait a while a crocodile
With teeth so sharp and white,
I'd guard the swamp with jaws that chomp
So best beware my bite.

Hippos are nice and so are mice
a rhino would be good,
a shark an ant or elephant
A hog waist deep in mud.

But I am me as you can see
and you are you of course,
But if you could I bet you would
Prefere to be a horse.
