Mackenzie

Look at the moon, a Spring tide today, does everything pass so soon, the birds who have gone, seeking their lanes, sing as they go, my eyes are like pools, wouldn't it be great, to treasure something new, here in my bones, no one reigns, worries about living alone, someone not cruel, but poised sedate, who forgets about dues, how the wind blows, all emotion played, an emptiness done, my good parts are cool, clean as the slate, you'll come here too, we'll go dancing again.

Lily

He only smiles uneasy, hints at what to say, asks if I'm released, a high heeled slumber, stones money holidays, does it make you wonder, how I aim to please , without hope or shape, spent with him away, me his little number, no matter the taste , a life encumbered, my insides screech, let me please getaway, escape on the breeze, come for me sooner, it's a disgrace, he still rolls the thunder, dances with the seed, rises very late, but he won't ever see, what I have in place ?

Kiara

My lover asks, if i was ever born, how come nothing lasts, don’t you have ghosts, dreams you’ve scorned, ones that drag you along, I adjust my mask, stifle a yawn, say don't rake my past, and stop throwing stones, it's you that is torn, let regrets stop you growing, detest our little chit chats, who am i to fawn, in houses made of glass, love is in my bones, can whistle at any storm, everyone needs a home, my key’s under the mat, why be forever at war, I’m built to last, give me a call.

Kiara

My lover asks, if i was ever born, how come nothing lasts, don’t you have ghosts, dreams you’ve scorned, ones that drag you along, I adjust my mask, stifle a yawn, say I understand my past, don't ever throw stones, think what you've torn, let regret stop you growing, I dislike these chit chats, what it is to live in, houses made of glass, love is in my bones, can whistle up any storm, everyone needs a home, my key’s under the mat, can't be forever forlorn, I’m built to last, give me a call.

Janine

I'll have sweet dreams, with you on the ‘phone, better than how they seem, am not so stupid, to seek atonement, in the cause of love, look at those has-beens, who live through ghosts, we want to be free, even if you're blue, you still touch my soul, a beeswax glue, our great scenes, we ride to the coast, sweep away winter leaves, Laugh where we're going, slow oh so slow, let the ocean's roll, I know it's a scream, don't let out a groan, we’ll always be a team, long journey home.

Saturday 27 January 2024

Isabella

Say you want to rule, riding on a high tide, sinking ships of fools, think you are so great, when others ask why, do they know anything, it does no good, taking you to one side, such a face you pull, your eyes spin away, dance like fireflies, no issue what you say, it’s a poor gruel, for such fragrent lies, is that all of you , here in this lane, you only get one life, who really holds sway, before your demise ?

Friday 26 January 2024

Harley

If they cook with gas, turn the flame up, make sure its a blast, faces red as hot coals, the men you love, are longing for home, silken ones trapped, bewail their bad luck, turn pale collapse, 'phone back the most, roll in the muck, want beaten at posts, drink wine perhaps, say will have no truck, attend holy Mass, their eyes on ropes, consider them fluff, you pick from your clothes, not one of them lasts, without some cluck, some shout witch, give them a shrug.

Thursday 25 January 2024

Gina

Nothing much relates, a knife to the throat, it’s not easy to escape, but I'll beat them down, blood on their boat, they'll sing my tunes, if they survive the wait, feel it in my bones, stealth is my pilot, never mind their hooks, they won’t reach home, suffer my revenge on fools, the sea's a brass plate, where they remain forlorn, waiting for my gaze, I'll escape the rope, no one makes me stoop, know what is their fate, bullies are all show, not at all my taste, do you want to roam, Davy Jones grave ?

Wednesday 24 January 2024

Felicity

She won't have you, even in a picure frame, specially if you booze eyes scrubbed by fire, how to keep the flame, she's holding the wire, doesn’t do feuds, says fools bathe in haste, know how they lose, anything you desire, makes it hard to disdain, when sung in a choir, what she's been through, can’t be wished away, c'mon tell the truth, her lips won't ask why, you live with the strain, forget about the line, her heart seeks good news, the oxygen of aerospace, put on your dancing shoes, Spring’s here again ?

Tuesday 23 January 2024

Elena

Not burning with hope, if he gets in again, sails that slippery slope, never stop to choose, sanctify his blame, suffer his fear of losing, is it such a joke, campaign speeches every day, as if you didn't know, you'll never get the truth, others stand and gape, see the enemy as you, wonder if you'll cope, will always have your say, but there’a so many dopes, to bathe in his spew, shiny adverts jaundiced mail, even love gets duped, things you can’t condone, are blown away by gales, he'll dance on hot stones, for those he hates.

Monday 22 January 2024

Debby

It’s around this time, my mother comes, always with a different sigh, asks why no one 'fones, no matter what they’ve done, would it cut their throats, a fertile ring of chimes, takes account of being glum, she enjoys family crises, never arrives alone, wants to have some fun, brings some beat or showman, it’s me who has to shine, pleading c’mon mum, nerves before a climb, it nourishes her bones, to beat the little drum, upset is all she knows, cruel to be kind, she won't waste a crumb, a forever moaning child,' now she's gone ?

Sunday 21 January 2024

Calista

You stretch our sunny days, smile an absent dream, now you're on your way, don’t bring us bad news, like a losing team, say what we have to do, we're listening in the rain, down by the Slate quays, want to see you again, there’s a spirit in you, that’s hard to please, why play by broken rules, we’ll work and save, give whatever you need, won't hear of your wails, the lovers mistook, on your mad schemes, now you're all cool, we're melting away, a burned out empty feeling, you sip tea and cakes, is this how it seems ?

Saturday 20 January 2024

Bonnie

You don’t need to cry, within a screaming gale, let others wonder why, consult with holy stones, listen to their tales, when you grasp alone, study these battered times, all of its a trial, ride again the bycycle, forget having to atone, if lovers wail, you're far from home, sail kites to the sky, think of road and rail, leave to all on high, take tea like Mrs Jones, discard desolate mail, throw yourself a bone, doesn't hurt to try, laugh on lonely trails, always be a butterfly, dancing never fails.

Friday 19 January 2024

Anna

Her manner never cool, many a life she’d shout, has been unlistened to, crashing like the sea, an artist on the lookout, she’s still pretty green, doesn’t need a muse, creates what's all about, won't suffer fools, she walks down the street, give you anything she has, throws anyone her keys, lipstick lemon blue, her skin golden brown, hasn't been to art school, instead a loving need, those who haven't got, brings a sense of ease, provides our daily laughs, smiles as warm as toast, will always want to ask, how is your soul?

Thursday 18 January 2024

Zoe

Rain broken afternoon, offers no insight, or makes me look cool, here in this game, a race for my life, wonder who holds the reins, I act like a fool, peparing what's right, must stop what am doing, now the eyes feel pain, my head's like a firefly, how did it get this way, it all seems so futile, I'm wasting my time, my face a lost duel, then someone brings wine, says let's party again, make for the beeline, won't ask for new shoes, jump in the fire, dance like a mule, scream until bedtime.

Wednesday 17 January 2024

Zaylee

I'm never a girl, who curses and blasts, my mind in a whirl, a face like a stone, I'm built to last, best that you count on, don't treat me with furs, are all men trapped, want me in shiny skirts, I'll waltz like a ghost, dance until collapse, my lies are my own, your head's in a twirl, any present will pass, my prayers are always fair, why cry at the doorpost, drink green tea aghast, ask what I want most, please turn the flame down, if you cook with gas, say your heart's unfurled, avoid any crash.

Tuesday 16 January 2024

Yara

Does what you can't find, make you think again, crack open the blinds, it's not worth it alone, there's too much pain, stay close to your own, you'll soon hear of me, standing in the rain, saying everything's fine, drenched to the bone, are you house trained in your torn worn clothes, why try to disguise, each day brings a claim, it adds to the distance, don't trust telephones, shall we play at games, love's got no real home, just stay here tonight, instead of a fast train, then leave at first light, we'll meet again.

Monday 15 January 2024

Xanthe

Why dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, too drunk to speak, time to raise the stakes, risk being torn, the useless dates he makes, wait around for the seasons, twist my crown of thorns, am giving up on reason, want kids about the place, not being cast forlorn, why does he need breaks, don’t say I'm released, like he's been caught, running away to the sea, provide a hand that shakes, absence is his only call, I slump and vacillate, this isn't really me, jellied to the core, mouthing dumb tranquilities, no one ever loved.

Sunday 14 January 2024

Willa

Parade all the while, say you’re on the ball, ride the lonely miles, in your bones, you’re not here at all, no you are a Jonah, you left me to die, on your holy horse, said we didn’t have time, can you atone, when love turns to gall, must shame fill your bones, flip a coin to the sky, talk of beating the Fall, no worries about style, drink wine from a Jeroboam, hide behind some desolate wall, throw stones at my ghost, what it is to cry, we'll disregard your call, you're not here to lie, let others walk tall.

Saturday 13 January 2024

Vicky

We drink for company, God knows if we're right, all of us need sympathy, the front of house crew, remain out of sight, only come awake at noon, just leave us in peace, sipping for our lives, cooking guides our being, knives as sharp as new, make each day bright, have no truck with fools, now he he says go easy, don't ruin the fry, nothing stands his scrutiny, we're so happy and cool, in the early light, other's will arrive soon, says he can smell the sea, read messages from on high, drink as much as me, isn't this nice ?

Friday 12 January 2024

Ulla

Things you can't figure out, in the gentle rain, remind me not to shout, scrubbed by fire, I feel myself quake, it's only a small desire, hear what it's all about, terrifying good news, hotter than a pepper sprout, untroubled to conspire, I won't fly away, frighten birds on a wire, it's just a little joust, so hard to ascertain, if its more than nowt, he sits me on a tyre, in a clearings makes me say, the day's getting brighter, won't ask me why, we live like trains, roaring through the night, the earth moves again,

Thursday 11 January 2024

Tracey

Weak smile on his face, he says we’ll carry on, I turn my face away, a horizon once bright, we'll navigate alone, make it feel right, maybe take a train, anyone that comes, we once rode this way, the picture's not kind, I could cry but won't, not a time to make light, why it works this way, he’ll never understand, cars fill up their lanes, within a city's sight, I'll go underground, beneath a lavender sky, bets we each could make, tired of all the loans, nothing's here to gain, by going home.

Wednesday 10 January 2024

Sophia

If you could only redeem, what lights my smile, provide no more igomony, wolves howl at the moon, raise noses to the sky, know what is to wound, take me to the sea, get me lost amongst signs, make everyone believe, what aches for truth, dangled phrases to a child, brings me better news, no more bitter feeds, always taking flight, before whispered needs, my other side is ruin, stars supposed to align, illuminate my virtues, before you came for me, a power beyond my sight, love travels eternally, someone must ask why ?

Tuesday 9 January 2024

Riley

Love blows warm at night, howls in ancient places, waits for day to hide, where promises are broken, spirits chant their names, call on ancient stones, it will be all right, is all you need to say, just give me time, beyond this a war zone, who can sacrifice fame, to others we don't know, laugh in gentler climes, settle in a lavender gaze, part of me is dying, a flame that's burning low, it is to my shame , rivers rise alone, please don't stay silent, we'll find love again, return it on the tide, measure out the blame.

Monday 8 January 2024

Quetzalli

Coming by train last night, I swear it’s not easy, to put love to one side, he lives in Naples, I'm staying in Brindisi, he says everything's OK, it's a perfect sight, the moon over the sea, in his arms I sigh, fresh linen on the table, the fruit of last season, my longing for fables, he talks of a writer, named Lisa Passolini, and kisses me quietly, on the roof we’re able, to see Saint Peter's, I hear the poor failing, their voices take flight, hands rise unseen, shouldn't we ask why, they're without dreams?

Sunday 7 January 2024

Paula

My voice gets raised, just turn me loose, no more baking days, I hate to be alone, strapped to a curfew, lonely on the 'phone, pheww you’re no angel, dreaming something new, always want me changed, all your stupid cronies, stupid party poopers, jokers make me groan, before you got afraid, everything seemed true, honey you created, now on your bones, they'll turn the screw, nothing's here you own, will put you away , I've gone past the Blues, cast adrift by day, on a tide of losers.

Saturday 6 January 2024

Nancy

I don't want to know, if you've really time, to reel what you've done, choke while you pray, consoled in your wine, keep the house anyway, when you're all alone, you'll think me kind, listening to your groans, hear me when I say, you’ve spun your last line, dreaming of the highway, what you really own, is a poor man's tontine, shamble of bricks and loans, you ask why I’m late, I'll tell you why, been at the lawyer's place, you can never atone, why bother to cry, made everything wrong, too late for trying.

Oceana

Just a game my sister, forget how to wrangle, all we have is blisters, your search for the free, hangs like a dongle, a kite across the sea, the way you kiss, makes his eyes crinkle, forget those promises, set loose on the breeze, admire his frankness, wave surfing carefee, don't let yourself spin, each line he imagines, reeling you in, he won’t write an oddysey, or give you a handle, another no bode addressee, why do you insist, waiting on the shingle, nothing's here to miss, Baby he's a wrinkle

Thursday 4 January 2024

Miley

it's useless to placate, a Knife to the bone, always see it too late, never safe to heed, what you've been doing, no one makes me bleed, don't get in the way, will slay my own ghosts, how long be the wait, say nothing of that scene, just leave me alone, my turn now to deceive, it leaves me delicate, a song with broken tones, sealed in a boxed freight, not in my creed, to keep fear at home, if you want to succeed, the moon comes up great, it knows what I've seen, hung wind in the slates, fire on the breeze.

Wednesday 3 January 2024

Lana

Whatever else you need, make it the last one, will wave when I leave, consider me done, not busted nor relieved, I'll still count my bones, hang on the breeze, by an Ocean or shore, you won't hear me scream, when you walked me home, under lilac trees, my eyes were aglow, nothing's what it seems, you had me on toast, part of your conceit, now listen my good fellow, don't play other scenes, you'll drink to atone, what you once stormed, it's rotted to seed, you've lost this last one, waiting to deceive.

Tuesday 2 January 2024

Kathleen

Some nights I ask why, other times don’t, why stars shine all night, is it a sense of peace, somewhere that marks their zone, you staring into space, turn away from my eyes, the wind is black and cold, sunk again in wine, kids and dogs are great, we get along why moan, no one sees the slate, can’t make up your mind, if you're here or gone, say flame must start with light, then listen to me fulminate, rage down a broken phone, suffer my tirades, no matter how we fight, strain our yearning bones, I'm only serving time, not to be alone.

Monday 1 January 2024

Janice

I won't leave you alone, know each move you make, even if you lie entombed, believe it if you must, I'm sick of this place, sat here gathering dust, enough for it to show , what a lousy disgrace, you are in your bones, call it another loss, looked at this way, memories cover every cost, porous as a honeycomb, I'm the one who delays, trips to the paupers yard, face what you haven't got, nothing's left to take, no matter what you want, promises on Blue notes, stamp them on your stone, just a bum on the make, I'll still bring you home.

Ivy

You can swear and blow, say it's too late, just make your way home, I'll fix some soup, won't think about fate when next rent's due, you're a rolling stone, always planning escape, sweating on the dice roll, you better come soon, before everythings changse, I might wake and coo, too close to the zone, my love comes with grace, but not on its own, always plenty left to do, withstand others gaze, who cares about looks, no knife's to my throat, why need to explain you'll always need loans, I celebrate this way.
