Rayo Two

We share jokes and put, hopes on those who reappear, who rise in the mist, no one owns a crown, to be ushered in here, to put others down, those of us fussed, we'll always hold dear, what's never been crossed, in our Ocean town, everything is clear, you know who is sound, someone to trust, she walks without fear, with a hint of musk, everywhere she goes, banishes tears, never on her own, torches falling years, each night a must, rides with the deer, dances before the dust

Rayo

I’ll ship out to France, do you expect me to say, you can have another chance, I won't go acute, my life is claimed, but you're no fool, fact is your clan, have once again nailed, any love chance, say what you want to, all your lies are details, it won’t be smooth, don’t look askance, when I start to rail, passions always pass, shame doesn’t bother you, nothing more to say, you don’t need a tune, to slide down the scale, let go of my hand, don’t whisper my name, hold me like that, rob all my getaways.

Antony Three

Since you've passed away, nothing left to do, but each night pray, laugh in hurried tones, my face like a whirlpool, hate to be alone, submerged in every way, my blues still surround you, scream no other way, you never did moan, even if you wanted to, gardens need to grow, walls are turning grey, they say I’ll always lose, even on the make, acting like a drone, not saying what isn’t true, I carry bags of stones, my eyes shine like jays, they wonder what I’ve done, lying by the drains, will find out soon enough.

Clouds billow in the sky, death is no easy due, even when you die, who cares what’s fake, it always shines around you, burns forever in your grate, something deep inside, not just an ordinary slew, makes you cry, those barriers you raise, make me look a fool, when I should be great, however far you fly, love is not immune, shall we have a try, it dies when you castigate, something lost in you, then you walk away, these troubled nights, I’ve had a few, no more questions why, I guess you always knew.

Saturday 26 September 2020

Antony

Like a ship at sea, I swear to the night, you will hear from me, you are a rotten core , heavy with lies, hung at my cabin door, your lost fidelity, between moon and sky, shines like a painting, from the earth's poor, I ask a terrible why, risen from the ocean floor, I’ll see you in weeds, my lips strung tight, enjoy setting me free, here on the shore, I’ll do what's right, there’ll be no furore, just rock you gently, easy with the knife, call you baby, look into my eyes.

Emily Three

Can anyone bring serenity, to my features in a bar, I’m rescued from the sea, like someone in a frame, there is a part that’s dark, something you can't name, others go to Greece, ring distant bells afar, bring back childhood dreams, maybe it’s a different age, I keep like a postcard It still feels strange, nothing fills my need, I’m a lazy hog, sometimes I could scream, dancing in the waves, chasing sails around a spar, fling the stuff that's wreckage, the things I only feel, all the stuff I’m not, drink a huge Martini , who needs a Da?

Thursday 24 September 2020

Emily Two

By lights of a pub, where we drink wine, she gives me a shove, a deal behind Primark, to taste is no crime, let’s go of my arm, looks up above, lost in her time, the year she got bust, hair like a jump start, she hasn't a dime, no one takes her part, we meet in a club, initially fine, we run out of luck, never easy or calm, raised by great signs, she’s a wandering star, lays down lost looks, to everything wise, she asks me to rub, the pain in her side.

Wednesday 23 September 2020

Emily

She has some spark, her lovely face lights, quick off the mark, she hankers for love, most of her nights, doesn’t worry what's above, in a nearby car park, they ask her why, she hangs around bars, says we all need a crust, a trolley suits her fine, she doesn’t drink doubles, never walks far, to gossip is a crime, each step's a stopped car, works without gloves, unlike other times, Okay, when it's good, there's never a chart, to show her what's right, let’s wait for the dark, maybe it's time.

Catherine Three

I stand by his grave, where praise be, I hope to be laid, my eyes like thunder, cry like the sea, it makes me shudder, from the blue Nave, stripped down like a tree, nothing’s to be saved, here and there a cluster, poplars breeze, little else passes muster, my voice starts to break, it's late for the season, birds have gone away, his face was a wonder, happy laughing clean, that I tore asunder, it's quiet at this place, a place of need, it fits his casket, left open for me.

Monday 21 September 2020

Catherine Two

Is it fear of rain, a bird on the wire, that you rage against, shuffling in the gloom, waiting by the fire, no one flies for you, many come this way, they pester you for hire, ask and ask again, to do what you do, your eyes hide an ire, that’s forever blue, an offering to be made, a burnt out tyre, is this what you give, always someone's due, their wretched desire, nothing else is true, the miracle they crave, tongues of liars, a love that's betrayed, a funeral car ?

Sunday 20 September 2020

Catherine

Don't care how you rage, in winter's iron claw, you can’t beat the cage, there is no tune, just a shallow maw, ships sail under blue moons, work is just a game, say everyone's your whore, put salt on your days, sad song's ring on cue, what a cache they hoard, smoke ciggies in the rain, every trick in use, it’s all such a bore, curdled love lights the fuse, no one is to blame, why make them roar, a generation betrayed, conceal bitter news, take it to the shore, drink on borrowed goods, dance forever more.

Daniel Three

My song creates good mojo, nothing to be taught, you know whose it for, it jumps like a flea, whoever takes the tour, always lands on me, just this bag of bones, a lender of last resort, It won't let you doze, each tune a jumping bean, brings you back for more, makes you dig this scene, dancing in my zone, like you used to before, our time is never gone, it floats across the sea, your dress sweeps the floor, say hello to dreams, laughing smooths your tones, brings solace to the poor, tempers your groans, opens every door.

Friday 18 September 2020

Daniel Two

You ask me what's new, never one to help the poor, always smart on cue, you wouldn’t say please, confined to any wall, an innate sense of ease, fools are there to queue, waiting by the doors, you’d bust any curfew, bad guys on the street, hardly make you pause, when you hear the screams, no one can bust through, hand you out some chores, make you sweat anew, you know where you've been, with your filthy tours, will you ever bleed, you’re not my glue, dancing like some commodore, your head full of tunes, checking out the score.

Thursday 17 September 2020

Daniel

Now you know, how people feel, in their bones, that jilted smile's a strain, watered by the stream, they’ll note it anyway, take the time right now, unlock without a key, your luminous frown, why seek the rain, peer in mountain streams, don't need to catch a train, you’ve nothing to bestow, with other crazy schemes, in your moving picture show, such a long time away, to live within a dream, now face each coming day, you don't have to furrow, say where you've been, before the cock crows, everyone will see

Wednesday 16 September 2020

Sandy Three

Never one to search for gain, every track burnt, don't you ever feel the pain, or get sore, forgetting what you learnt fixing a broken front door, no matter what it takes, you’re always present, to ungrateful ‘probates, fools sing for applause, get drunk like the wretched, you know the score, no need to remonstrate, to bring out your best, what a player you make, two and two make four, you scatter the difference, never ask for more, but when the night breaks, your poor investments, shatter and flake, what will you do then?

Tuesday 15 September 2020

Sandy Two

When you start to say, why I always swim alone, just give me a break, sit on the wire, don't make a run, you’re not a flyer, not a second to waste it's lonely on stones, but more to my taste listening to the cryers, our bed’s rough-hewn, it calms all desires, give us our day, not a long megaphone, where we can bray, we are not like Sapphires, we’ll never atone, draw air to the fire, it'll be our holiday, so far from an Iliad, won't inquire about gain, or where we’re going.

Monday 14 September 2020

Sandy

Each kiss makes me fry, will he see, the gaps between my lies, sometimes just a little move, more heavens place to be, even if I don’t feel love, terrible places hard care, they still let me dream, no one kids you there, kiss get dressed need a hug, what about my teeth, grace comes from above, act like I don't care, scrubbed sparkling clean, I sail through the air, Joey’s my new shove, he might rescue everything, rise each night in flood, it's only fair, when evening turns green, you take what you can, it’s not me who screams ?

Simon Four

You used to be fine, to drink alone, your laugh stronger than wine, no need for weak tea, humour lachrymose, jokes your repartee, now what you find, hearing the groans, what it is to be blind, the rain starts to cease, you carry the stones, of that certainty, speak when it’s right, never do the ‘phone , everything keeps for a while, you need to believe, what used to be so, when we all dreamed, you found the line, that you cross leaving home, the stuff bathed in time, is all that gone?

Saturday 12 September 2020

Simon Three

Who will break the news, struggling to escape, about the stuff you blew, no horizon's so bright, if your mark’s a stain, you' who are always right, don’t make life a curfew, be frightened of the waves, know just what to do, it nearly is the time, you hear a donkey bray, sit by the fire, before sunrise due, your tears seep away, no one can reach you, ever wondered why, you pine for the day, the long silent night, often bears some truth, that a fortune lies at bay, rain falls on the roof, it sounds ok.

Friday 11 September 2020

Simon Two

Look up down the road, try to be kind, make a smile your own, the stars show the way, cold in the sky, you're back here to stay, no need for a comb, you'll walk the steady miles, don’t need any crown, find out the going rate, your face alive, you know how to behave, is there s window, where her face don't shine, here in your soul, never mind future days, burn out that fire, now you’re on your way, tell her all you know, it’s been a little while, in the cock’s crow, the song of a child.

Thursday 10 September 2020

Simon

Take the love you know, float it on the tide, dance with that alone, drained by winter's news, before she sails on by, see the ones you blew, caught up in a cyclone, she’s going to be your bride, say please don't go, what makes it true, a heart needs to fly, to beat these river blues, try to break the ropes, the wind sings out at night, nothing can atone, what you have to lose, that fellow by your side, is He part of you, you never did go slow, to catch the other's smile, d’yuh think she’ll show, wait around a while?

Wednesday 9 September 2020

Paul Three

I wonder if she's right, to head for the sea, lilac as the night, she’ll dance and parade, make love before the enemy, her soul works this way, the shouting and fighting, slakes her release, time is her lightning, her eyes bear the day, cold in the season, when she joins the fray, it comes down the wire, before she flees, a heart from the fire, she carries sweet grace, spring's done with greeting, she needs to be away, bags weigh heavy at night, it's fun to believe, she'll never sit tight, will always want me ?

Tuesday 8 September 2020

Paul Two

Will you come this way, to see the ruins, each time we separate, I dream of the day, you play those tunes, just to slake, the darkness at noon, and you remain, I won’t delay, on golden avenues, don’t have what it takes, here in the shade, falling for you. my thoughts dance like rain, are you made of clay, I howl at the moon, am not afraid, I know there's a flame, here in the gloom, what am I to say, you’ll see me soon, bring me a sweet cake?

Monday 7 September 2020

Paul

The sun rises uneven, cars fill up their lanes, this can't wait 'till evening, beyond the night sky, all I need to regale, is about the life outside, a social rush of energy, coffee tastes the same, who needs a good reason, I might sail on the line, it matters what you say, not go off this time, with my dawn novena, my paper smile a hurricane, your love tastes so sweet I know it’s not fine, to go out and play, drink more sweet wine, bars and visions of retreat, what I have to fake, it’s not my swollen feet, keeps me in this game.

Sunday 6 September 2020

Antonia Three

Go on then believe, my skin is well toned, who am I set free, on-demand what to say, the only song I own, is along this highway, a tide bittersweet, penetrates my soul, floats on the breeze, who are you to state, my only pain is gone, now you're in my face, you smell of the sea, no need to groan, against a rock of eternity, sing as you sway, am I being consoled, no one makes your day, calls on time to leave, don't really want to know, or care who retrieves, the spirit from my bones.

Friday 4 September 2020

Antonia Two

Before you came for me, who carried the light, lost across the sea, they say it isn't you, in whispered prayers at night, do they know the truth, somewhere at my feet, I forget all the signs, I’m supposed to believe, even with your news, a power beyond my sight, I am not without virtue, love is a bitter feed, it always asks me why, something needs to be, wolves howl at the moon, words fall ill at ease, some mask an open tomb, broken on my knees, won't you wait a while, if you could only see, love lights my smile.

Thursday 3 September 2020

Antonia

Whoever says, we will warm our bones, after being away, the picture's not kind, we can cry but won’t, home is not right, thoughts that are slayed, the same as in war, when things become plain, like the harvest light, with hardly a wound, in an evening sky, maybe we’ll take a train, like winter's love, comes around this way, a horizon bright, we'll navigate alone, feeling for what’s right, a line on my face, I'll just carry on, everyone in this game, hears that sound.

Wednesday 2 September 2020

Iona Three

Love holds the door ajar, your hair falls down like rain, you don't get very far, but sit around a Pool, silken trees breeze away, can you hear their news, they whisper about your Da, just another player, lonely as a shooting star, the money he tooled, in a poor jaded way, evermore the fool, buys another car, to burnish mother's games, no room for scars, flayed by their rules, forget the hurt they made, that other part of you, taps on the bar, feels the morning haze, hit the road burning tar, who are they anyway ?.

Tuesday 1 September 2020

Iona Two

No one can take you, without any name, knowing what’s to love, eyes lit by fire, you know what to do, won’t resist the wire, tempted by the brew, on yellow cards lay waste, always choose, like birds fly higher, not hard to ascertain, which fools are the liars, what you've been through, makes you dance again, bones tell the truth, your tongue won't ask why, you live without stain, hug that patch of sky, your heart seeks good news, follows on its train, some things you can't fool, why run away?
