DieingEmbers Jun 2013
Starlight blind mine eyes this night
let me not perceive the emptiness of days
morning pray hold back your dawning
to light the place my love no longer lays

Soft breeze if thou would but please
deaden my ears to the silence all around
gentle rain come once more disguise my pain
and wash away the memories yet bound

Fitful dreams replaced by nightmares evil screams
dumb now my impotent tongue
let me be oh unrelenting misery
and let at last my heartstrings be unstrung

Scarred Beauty. (play)
DieingEmbers Jun 2013
( Lights up on a stately garden
centre stage stands a male figure
the right side of his face badly scarred and burnt )


By mine one deformities I'm I here undone
casting mine withered shadow or' a dying sun
as I long to feel the touch of soft lovers breath
from one such as she at this sweet eve'nings death
for I would die if upon mine own lips her kiss should play
granting me peace at this the bitter end of day
to know her embrace wouldst break my hollow heart
as I too with dusk must now depart
but come again the evenings sweet repose
and I again will come to thee my sweet autumnal Rose

( a female figure walks out onto her balcony as he slips away silently )

Oh gentle moon why doth thou mock my aching breast
where is the heart that beats beneath so honest chest
that sings in silent secret tone
a love that's mine and mine alone
come falling stars once more deny my wishes made
and hide from me as I must hide my pain beneath this false facade


( a shadow moves beneath her balcony to follow the first retreating figure )


Know not the truth of this unspoken and yet unrequited love
is not in features scarred or in stars above
but in the foolishness of pride
that hides ones heart and ones heart must hide
for two such souls within the throes of such abandonment
should find each others arms by mortal deeds and not by wishes spent
so onward night and guise me from all prying eyes
that I may bring forth their love before the sun doth once more rise
bid thee aid me in this my hour of need
and grant success to this my honest and most heart felt deed

Tis Not...
DieingEmbers Feb 2013
.
Tis not with the eyes I see you
for they are blinded by your beauty
tis not by my touch I claim to know you
for they are fooled by your depth of gentleness
tis not by scent I recognise you
for perfume and creams mask thy fragrance
Tis with my heart I see you the true you
the you hidden awaiting to be found
tis with my words I claim you the real you
awaiting to be awoken with a kiss
tis with my soul I inhale you the only you
that awaits to imprint herself upon one

who is willing
to know the woman behind the mask.

Joes in bed the stars are out
the tv turned down low
as I await the zombie hordes
upon my favourite show
The walking dead don't frighten me
they'd never get past him
coz no one hurts his grand dad see

Too much time we've spent apart
it's like a splinter in my heart
festering and going septic
making my mind act like a sceptic
does she doesnt she I'm I wrong
if only I could bite my tongue
I know these voices love their lies
so why the tears wept from my eyes
spend time with me and let me snuggle
free my mind of this **** muggle
give me peace and say you love me
cause time apart is it's own insanity.

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

Am I too always play the fool
a jester in your court of kings
to never know your touch your kiss
or share with thee the finer things

Am I too always be the hound
lieing faithful beside thy feet
to never know your heart nor mind
and never hear those three words sweet

Am I too always be the ****
never embraced by thy sweet hands
and die beneath the weight of time
that slips away like desert sands

Am I too always love you yet
unable here to make it known
then let this fool this humble cur
be as the sands on whispers blown

A promise painted on a kiss
that speaks in silence day and night
and guards the heart it's never known
and keeps you safe and holds you tight

to take another in your arms
I will taste
your sweet kiss
long after you press you lips
again his soft face
I will wear your scent
long before you leave it upon him
for I know come tomorrow
you will leave him
to return to me my love
so for now
sleep
and dream of me
as you cuddle close

What You Want
DieingEmbers Jan 2013
Do you miss me wanna kiss me
do you wanna steal my breath
wanna hold me soft enfold me
share with me a little death
wanna feel me try to heal me
as the darkness takes ahold
wanna bathe me try to save me
with your kisses chains corrode
wanna claim me wanna name me
as your nails carve in my bark
wanna know me wanna show me
all your beauty after dark
wanna chance it then enhance it
Take a bite and ******* ache
wanna own me now you've shown me
that my heart you'll never break
wanna keep me and sleep with me
want to awake within my arms
wanna aid me and to shade me
beneath your loving palms
wanna momment wanna life time
want what ever I can give
wanna be mine wanna share time
want to wake and at last live.

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.

Lemon Juice on Open Wounds
DieingEmbers Nov 2012
You tore my heart out
swearing
it's for the best

you took your teardrops
and bathed
my open wounded chest

you then told me baby
it's time
you got some rest

you placed your love
within me
beneath my aching breast

and healed the scars
of others
where your fingers pressed

now I give  freely
what was
stolen by the rest

Hold it safe
treat it gentle
like a welcome guest

it beats now in music
in poetry
and in jest

for life gave me lemons
but you
gave me zest

Just One More Minute.

Take your time
and mine
and from these moments
form one day
one hour
of solitude for us to share...

let nothing here
intrude

break not this gentle silence
with wasteful
words
fill up each pause with tender looks
a lovers touch
a lingering kiss
just take your time
and mine
to enjoy these perfect
moments.

Butterfly Kisses
DieingEmbers Jan 2013
My sweet butterfly
emerges
from night spun
silk cocoon...

unabashed and naked

framed softly
within the first rays
of morning

her lace wings
fluttering
gently within the breeze

she turns to alight
once more
beside
my recumbent form

and bowing her head
she shares again
the sweetest of nectar

within her butterfly kisses.
Butterfly kisses are when a woman bats her eyelids gently tickling the mans skin

The House Always Wins
DieingEmbers May 2013
The grass ain't green on the other side
it's just another lie from the government
best lock your doors and run and hide
cause the time of reaping's imminent

They promised all and delivered ****
just to keep in line the working man
now the fan's well and truely hit
and it's time to get up off the can

We gotta vote with out feet this time
we've gotta get our voices heard
penny for your thoughts, man here's a dime
you slew the eagle and gave us the bird

Capital punishment now that's a joke
cause it's done to us all each day
the man in the suit holds the yoke
and the bill of rights is to high to pay

Walk on walk out or just walk away
cause the land of the free's been taxed
and we can't watch the piper play
as the cherry tree gets once more axed

It's a lie it's a sin it's democracy
and we all know whose to blame
cause we voted him in with beauocracy
and hung our heads in shame
No offence America it kinda wrote itself

saw the porcelain fragments

Timothy and Hilda too

Broken Boundaries
DieingEmbers Nov 2012
My love for you knows no boundaries
nor border guards with hastened shouts
for my heart forged in foundries
from sheer trust and carefree doubts

Let them levy heavy tax and toll
They'll ner' stop me getting through
for I must be where er' thy soul
for my heart longs to fly to you

Speak not of laws and reasoned thought
make no excuse that sounds like fact
for I must find what I've long sought
and on this need I need now act

So let them lower barriers down
and set up here their ****** blockade
I'll always find a way around
for my heart once sent cannot be staid

Prepare for war ye whom would stop me
be sure of this I'll win these fights
for over there lies liberty
and an end to all my lonely nights

So Take up arms increase thy number
imprison rights with red tape bars
but justice wakes from enforced slumber
as moon let's rain her falling stars

No boundaries no Borders hold me
when I can call upon your heart
to meet me where no one can stop thee
where we are one er' when apart.

So come to me and let me know this
that you would too break down their Walls
sign this treaty with thy sweet kiss
and hear my heart when er' it calls

Bathtub Bounties
DieingEmbers Mar 2012
Once more to sail on waters pale
New worlds as yet unseen,
His soap dish boat he sets afloat
With wash rag sail of green.
 
The bubbles crash and gentle splash
As he leaves bath plug bay,
With plastic comb he beats the foam
And slowly pulls away.

His telescope carved out of soap
Is held up to his eye,
Sighting the beach beyond his reach
where unknown treasures lie.

He dips his oar and rows once more
as shadows swirl around,
But it's too late to navigate
the sharks that now abound.

His sword in hand he makes a stand
waving his arms about,
The soap sud sharks now just for larks
Try hard to knock him out.

His sail unfurls as west wind swirls
And speeds him on to shore,
The danger past on land at last
So now he can explore.

Grabbing his coat he leaves his boat
and checks his treasure map,
then off he set with ankles wet
And soap spray on his hat.

Beneath a rock shaped like a sock
The treasure waits for you,
so bring a ***** to where it's laid
that's all you have to do.

The spot was found he dug the ground
And opened up the chest,
Oh cheese and bread he loudly said
This treasure is the best.

Loading his sack upon his back
He set off for the shore,
filling his hold with wealth untold
He headed home once more.

The moon reflects soft
it's rays flowing
in stone thrown ripples
as I await this night
your touch.

The stars caught
in dew sodden cobwebs
shift position
in late evenings breath.

A twig breaks
a bird startled from rest arises
kissing tree tops
in open armed embrace.

And you where are you
amongst all this beauty
if not in my arms
you are always in my heart.

Hands blind my eyes
in whispered guess who
from breathy lips
and I silently smile my answer.

My hands upon yours
hold you there a moment to long
my heart aches my lips plead
and I turn expectant of your kiss.

Your smile frames your sweet mouth
pressed hard to mine
words lost in translation
of I love yous from occupied tongues.

Night falls in solitude of silent pines
their needles sewn blankets
of fresh crisp snow
where now I have my angel.

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

Avast yer hearty where's the party
where be the festive cheer
no Yule tide log nor mug of grog
to toast this time of year

Shiver me mate an empty plate
where is the fine roast bird
with golden veg around the edge
and gravy thickly stirred

Where be the cake for Davies sake
packed full of fruit and nuts
and marzipan with icing grand
to stuff this pirates guts

No double cream is this a dream
and figgy pudding... None
no sausage rolls or sweet filled bowls
where as your spirit gone

It's times like this I really miss
the indies and the tropics
let's go the pub I'm sure they've grub
and *** from clear optics

We'll make this night happy and bright
we'll share our love with friends
and toast for peace and wars to cease
and suffering to end

Let's do our parts open our hearts
let's share with folks our smile
and day by day in our own way
be happy for awhile

that your open window will receive

for as Romeo I am undone
no Juliet
to share this love and so I leave

and in those lips the feeling bold
that your sweet hand I pine to hold
there in the twining of our hands
lies days ahead in grains of sands
that worries not as each one slips
as long as I've your heart your hands your lips
so here and now and future years
I'll be your laughter and your tears
I'll be your warmth and comfort still
if you my love but say I will
for nothing more a man could seek
than loving you seven days a week
