For each little bit of you,
if anyone enquires,
we won’t give a clue,
life isn't a trombone,
don’t sound like a choir,
why should they 'phone,
your small cup of ruin,
brighter than fire,
will get you in tune,
you know you know,
this poisoned desire,
but we leave you alone,
whoever needs the truth,
asks who's for hire,
we’ll tell them what’s new,
if someone moans,
when you perspire,
we'll have their bones,
down on the avenue,
sing on the wire,
always pay your dues,
you're a straight flyer.

Can’t you ask why,
accept what you’ve chosen,
before you deny,
stare at dead cases,
you’re mouth frozen,
with stupid phrases,
sing your favourite lines,
our time done with roses,
accept all you decry,
beyond children’s faces,
neither shrunken nor spoken,
their wonderful stations,
at the graveside,
witness love's bonus,
clouds sail the sky,
what settles the debate,
won’t care nor follow us,
you blew the traces,
a flower at your side,
just some little token,
more than a wish to verify,
what lies broken.
Bella Three
Why live in a haze,
it's not this one time,
battered like cellophane,
best not to moan,
or warm holy wine,
life is only a loan,
why jump the trains,
scour the line,
for the perfect way,
in your worn-out clothes,
enjoy what’s fine,
even on your bones,
make a step change,
scrape off the grime,
find love instead of trade,
when someone groans,
you don't understand why,
move out of that zone,
betrayed by your days,
let your heart unwind,
in greater ways,
you can ever design.

Look at the moon,
a spring tide today,
everything comes around too soon,
the birds who have flown,
seeking away,
sing as they go,
my eyes are like pools,
wouldn't it be great,
to find somewhere new,
in a hurricane zone,
where no one reigns,
to oversee the loans,
someone not cruel,
but poised sedate,
who forgets about dues,
and where the wind blows,
all emotion flayed,
an emptiness gone,
my good parts are cool,
clear as acetate,
will you come there too,
high across the flames?
Bella
II need another home,
help me to say,
what you know is gone,
what I need to do,
unravel the waste,
pick out the new,
in troubled zones,
there is solace every day,
II am never alone,
the sea is lemon blue,
cafe's swell with rain,
always there is you,
here in my bones,
love finds a way,
without being shown,
what's sought by the few,
with no thought for gain,
echoes this truth,
brilliant stones,
glisten with names,
waters groan,
please help me again.

This is not me,
jelly for thoughts,
each day of uncertainty,
a useless fall from grace,
cast adrift forlorn,
I don’t want to hate,
make a fool of reason,
laugh when I'm caught,
spitting at eternity,
you’ll read this and shake,
absent from my call,
I’ll scream and create,
waiting for the seasons,
wondering if I'm born,
howling for the next scene,
you’ll raise the stakes,
fear of being torn,
I have to act brave,
who dreams of empathy,
sitting on a wall,
boom of a broken sea,
snot wanting to fall.

Caitlyn Two
The love you show,
dissolves gives way,
makes a fool of every bone,
is it in your creed,
to circle the days,
can't you see,
in garments sewn,
like a drunken oblate,
it’s all you know,
incense, flowers, crazes,
to dance on hot stones,
you want to be free,
is this what you've sown,
only the shame,
head bowed as you go,
a house by the sea,
bring whisky for your pain,
try to be happy,
brilliant origins,
whisper your name,
Spring's in full flow,
find your own space

Caitlyn
Whoever owns the night,
a wind hushed fog looms,
makes you wonder why,
he keeps a cheerful home,
somewhere in the dunes,
always on the go,
forget the bitter times,
all the cool untruths,
bars, rain, gloom, homicide,
living dreams without a phone,
always glad to see you,
this place that life postponed,
the air splashing by,
searching for a final coup,
some waste all their lives,
others touch the stones,
kid themselves to look,
what they had before,
he whistles at freedom passing by,
laughs and hums a tune,
says it's stupid to lie,
whatever else you do.
Ellie Three
It just goes to show,
when I hear your blues,
in some lane dead slow,
a witness to your sighs,
your ugly feuds,
the weary lies,
Chateau Lafitte think of loans,
energy to unglue,
my frozen bones,
instead of the jibes,
and all the doodle doo,
don’t make me cry,
is this all you know,
how to haunt a venue,
keeping up a teary tone,
try to be wise,
it's nothing new,
I've marked those nights,
better face the blow,
something I always knew,
heaven's in my soul,
there’s no space for you.

Ellie Two
if you knew how to give,
you wouldn't need,
to seek a place to live,
this is no child’s game,
around your greed,
chasing your days,
what about the kids,
with all their surly needs,
are they gone adrift,
golden lies can't negate,
you spin on the breeze,
why blow them away,
all your woven fibs,
you think just a wheeze,
banging the lid,
only fools hesitate,
to bring you gifts.
what you dedicate,
to live life in drips,
no loving need,
the yellow light bid,
do you believe?

Ellie
You who always fight,
priest's robes of purple hue,
should see my cotton stripes,
within a sea of sharks,
your smile arrives on cue,
beams while I sink,
give me some crass disguise,
a lover of balloons,
try to make me wise,
I walk like a tank,
to the visitor's cube,,
my hair not yet lank,
it blows around your eyes,
behind TV's fake news,
it's a bridge of sighs,
you're no dismal crank,
your spirit lifts the room,
I call you Hank,
you’ll pay these fines,
there's nothing to refuse,
I’ll give my best smile,
make you laugh like new.

Mathew Two
Bring a sweet sign,
in darkness and grain blue,
your eyes in constant flight,
come near to me I moan,
in this place of virtue,
no one dies alone,
we sail among the isles,
how to light the fuse,
make prayer of our lives,
steer an even course,
lulled by sweet perfume,
temptations all we know,
you are my light,
more than any muse.
only we decide,
when we’re growing old,
who will give the news,
to lives gone cold,
bells ring out the night,
our journey fires the truth,
my tears ask me why,
I should lie to you?
Mathew
You’re Lucky to pass this way,
each evening conjugate,
why no one here is brave,
don't worry if I’m queer,
I am not a knave,
measure life, not fears,
to broken laws you pray,
define yourself by hate,
be gentle with your say,
I can still drink beer,
even if I’m late,
a drunken innocent muscateer,
bells ring out for play,
rather than enslave,
I’m the one to delegate,
other stuff brings tears,
why scream or hesitate,
let other souls come near,
my yellow hair turns grey,
the sum of constant forays,
lovers, please celebrate,
you like me are great.

Faisa Four
You dance in the tide,
your fame is just beginning,
say you need a bride,
my mother says stay true,
she is not forgiving,
for love running smooth,
tobacco blonde full of lies,
fresh alive and kicking,
you sing on many a night,
it brings me back to you,
the cafe's do your bidding,
you have no curfew,
who knows if she's right,
when you can demand anything,
sunlight, water, sky,
love blows down the avenue,
lupine heads are dipping,
don't melt me lemon blue,
your lips twist like knives,
our trips to secret venues,
you nail me with that smile,
what else is new?
Sunday 15 December 2019
Faisa Three
I'll dance with you,
if I'm not too late,
stick to me like glue,
don't make me groan,
like a special case,
in yellow clothes and Cologne,
I'll borrow you the moon,
why not church or state,
if you'll beat these blues,
we are never alone,
pearl doves at the gate,
a promenade to your throne,
tell me the truth,
if your vision's great,
does it sleep in ruins,
maybe a lazy home,
lets me stake my case,
dusty as a heavy tome,
you make me swoon,
take me as your date,
to hell with the rumours,
love doesn’t age.
Faisa Two
Cold white hate,
stokes your bones,
you who are always late,
I give money to schools,
you've got no phone,
but smile like a fool,
why try to engage,
when you're that gone,
all that baggage,
who needs more proof,
when you sit and moan,
i'll show you,
there are no bedmates,
blown on weather zones,
who'll rescue your case,
they say you zoom,
let everything blow,
when you lock the room,
I’ll cheat that fate,
wear sturdy clothes,
find gold in the grate,
shine a shiny stone.

Faisa
Bring me sparkling jewels,
let me laugh through tears,
no need to be cruel,
my voice brings you grace,
what else can you fear,
there is no bad faith,
turn your head you fool,
you need this siren near,
don't feel bemused,
my singing tells your fate,
perfume costs you dear,
listen before too late,
dreams and other rules,
you ache for visions clear,
golden domes pursued,
along the shipping lanes,
a whole life in fear,
to carry so much freight,
dance at torrid news,
find a passage clear,
pull away your issues,
set sail for better years.

Eline Four
Look at me I seethe,
is it my grey hair,
do I need new teeth,
am I always too late,
as if you'd care,
use me like a fallen gate,
what might have been,
it's not fair,
who needs a life of ease,
nights I sway,
without a slur,
I can take the strain,
don't sing of the sea,
you're not that aware,
these fine evenings,
like a fish to the bait,
your eyes blur,
say I'm great,
but can you love me,
do you dare,
I'm shaping to leave,
are you scared?
Wednesday 11 December 2019
Eline Three
Bum notes make me faint,
where else can you go,
this session group look grave,
forget what's not fair,
in the life of soul,
I’m not square,
give the eye and hesitate,
don't make them groan,
show them the milky way,
it's not my long hair,
plaided like a tow rope,
that makes them scared,
I go against the grain,
out here alone,
find it hard to delegate,
my songs make them care,
think it’s you they own,
those inside the circle,
singing keeps me resonate,
the world's not made of stone,
hands across my face,
all you need to know.
Tuesday 10 December 2019
Eline Two
Don't break holy orders,
claim it’s all your mother,
stuff you swore,
love's free to cash,
all the stuff you smother,
a window without a sash,
you can see my core,
belly like an oven,
a flame of burning more's,
whenever money's crap,
you curse your brother,
he says it’s not on tap,
hard stuff behind his door,
fools live without clutter,
then run away fraught,
no book or deeds stashed,
you won’t lie like the others,
ignore their dash,
you'll pay a heavy score,
you’ve always been another,
love for you is raw,
better take cover.
Monday 9 December 2019
Eline
Lit up at some ocean bar,
well within the hurricane zones,
searching for forgotten laws,
only fools pay their dues,
let you drink alone,
leave you here to stew,
you can only go so far,
before the lining folds,
start to skimp on cards,
even without a feud,
on throwaway 'phones,
your ravaged face turns Blue,
your hair is like tar,
Saints reveal their bones,
where is your Da,
the trail is well used,
far away from home,
life circles around you,
yours is not a lucky star,
that hits the right note,
hotel toilets for a Spa,
tales of love a joke.

Johnny Four
I throw away the years,
every age has its crust,
the laughs and happy tears,
no life is too short,
for those in whom you trust,
in our toil of waters,
you run like the deer,
with a smell of musk,
in hazy bars you step clear,
I knew you’d be caught,
spinning pennies in the dust,
but never overawed,
what brought you here,
on this tidal flood,
a woman so sincere,
no book or district Court,
hides the fact you’re bust,
or what I sought,
blow flame across my fears,
bring me all the luck,
hope before you disappear,
geese ride on the dusk.
Monday 2 December 2019
Johnny Three
You won't let me hail,
anyone else to dance,
in rooms of darkest pale,
always play the fool,
waiting for kindness to pass,
no path to you is smooth,
nothing more to say,
so little of pure chance,
when you drive away,
I rage against your feuds,
lilac as a lonely fast,
why do they get to you,
life is like a freighter,
and your face is tanned,
gliding down the freeway,
I’ll tell you what to do,
pull over make a stance,
you're no fool,
whirl me 'round again,
test me for balance,
say what you want to say,
give me another chance
Johnny Two
Stands by my unlit lamp,
a tree, a bridge, shaking,
he waits like a tramp,
listens to some muted song,
who would ever negate,
a need to belong,
better take a chance,
if he plays this game,
can always go to France,
hopes he’s not wrong,
looking at the rain,
stream against a naked bar,
ask how much this path,
shuffles his remains,
no more wounds to lance,
someone will come along,
say Heh Pal this way,
put something in his pocket,
cigarettes and laughs,
beer sipped like champagne,
here he lets life dance,
praises each sweet day.
