Liv Two

Her manner always cool, many a life she’s known, wish it was mine too, crashing like the sea, an artist bright unknown, she’s forever clean, doesn’t need a muse, creates but doesn’t own, any more’s for fools, she walks down the street, doesn’t pray for calm, throws anyone her keys, lipstick lemon blue, her skin golden brown, she doesn’t care for hoops, a loving need, for those who’ve gone, brings a sense of ease, gives us our daily news, makes it warm as toast, she will always choose, to offer up her soul.

Liv

You don’t need to cry, within a screaming gale, when others ask you why, ask the stones, they never fail, when you find yourself alone, study these times, life’s a trial, but always worthwhile, can you atone, if lovers wail, and darkness marks your home, flip a penny see the sky, think of road and rail, best to leave this way, drink wine from broken cones, discard desolate mail, throw weeping hosts a bone, nothing’s worse than Jail, laugh at your long file, what’s done flies anyway, dance the lonely miles.

Nadia Three

You stretch our sunny days, a smile an absent dream, now you're on your way, don’t bring me bad news, like I’m the losing team, say what you have to do, me leaning in the rain, by St Brendan’s quay, kills to see you again, there’s a spirit in you, that’s hard to please, a parish of broken rules, I’ll work and save, whatever you need, but always hear your wails, the lovers you took, made you scheme, now you're just cool, meeting in a warm cafe', bridge of burned-out feelings, you sip warm tea and cakes, is something missing ?

Monday 28 December 2020

Nadia Two

It’s around this time, your mother comes, always with a different cry, anyone can phone, say what they’ve done, but nothing catches her throat, a fertile ground of chimes, no hint of being glum, she counts the Dimes, doesn't come alone, wants to have some fun, always with some other crone, it’s you who needs to shine, pleading c’mon mum, shaking like a vine, it nourishes her bones, to beat her little drum, it disguises what she knows, every day is a whine, she won’t waste a crumb, says only fools wait in line, show her the tomb.

Sunday 27 December 2020

Nadia

It’s you who brings hope, a flurry of the waves, along the Cobb’s slope, you never stoop to choose, always show the way, nothing you refuse, is it such a hope, to encourage each new day, as if you wouldn’t know, when you get the blues, let others stand and gape, what you say is true, don’t wonder if you'll cope, always have your way, there’ll never be a rope, to separate what is new, from distant tides or sail, love blows alongside you, things you can’t condone, never come too late, dance on slippy stones, it’s what makes you great.

Patrick Three

She won't have you, without a world to gain, knows what’s to lose, scrubbed by fire, how to remain, she balances the wire, doesn’t do feuds, makes Caramba in haste, what's not to choose, anything you desire, is hard to disdain, when so much for hire, what she's been through, can’t be laughed away, bones tell the truth, her lips won't ask why, you live with the strain, or forget what's the time, her heart seeks good news, it runs like the Spey, have you brought dancing shoes, Spring’s here again ?

Friday 25 December 2020

Patrick Two

Nothing much to gain, a knife to your throat, it’s not easy to escape, they'll depart soon, blood on their boat, singing their tunes, you'll survive the wait, know in your bones, there is no pilot, never mind their hooks, they won’t reach a throne, or the love of fools, on a sea irate, they’ll remain forlorn , desperate for a Mate, there is only a few, who’ll escape the rope, you’re no one's dupe, it's far too late, to let them know, it is not your fate, you won’t follow.

Thursday 24 December 2020

Patrick

If you cook with gas, turn the flame up, make sure its a blast, face warm as hot stones, the way you love, beats going home, silken ones trap, their own bad skunk, sway and collapse, they ring you the most, roll in the muck, stay at their posts, drink wine aghast, say they’re no muppets, attend holy Mass, let them go roam, consider them fluff, they pick at your bones, no one lasts, without some luck, let them shout Basta give them a shrug.

Jamie Three

Like you like to rule, even on the bread line, regarding other fools, you think you're great, when other's ask why, stop before it's too late, it does no good, what’s going on inside, such a face you pull, yet once again, the eyes dance like fireflies, they’ll have their say, it’s a poor gruel, these cooked over lies, to all that is you , here in this game, you play with your life, for who holds the reins, poor burnt-out mules, offer no hindsight, but is it cool, to fulfil a demise?

Tuesday 22 December 2020

Jamie Two

Forget my dreams, I don't want to ‘phone, bitter what you’ve done to me, not so stupid, to seek to atone, the cause of love, look at this has-been, who lives through his ghosts, is that what you see, even if you knew, you once touched my soul, is it something to live for, my scene, that you put on toast, your hair like autumn leaves, I hate where I'm going, a knife to my throat, ocean waves roll, you know where you've been, don't let out a groan, we’re no longer a team, I’m going I’m gone.

Monday 21 December 2020

Jamie

My lover asks, were you ever born, how come nothing lasts, don’t you have ghosts, dreams you’ve scorned, that won't leave you alone, I adjust my mask, stifle a yawn, I know my past, don't ever throw stones, at what you've torn, it stops you growing, I like these chit chats, what is to disown, where you leave your hat, with love in my bones, I whistle up a storm, everyone needs a home, my key’s under the mat, no one's forever forlorn, I’m built to last, a place to spawn

Sunday 20 December 2020

Natalie Two

You only smile uneasy, stammer out what to say, now my spirit's released, a high heeled slumber, stones, wreath, holidays, does it make you wonder, my coward's release, without hope or shape, you’ll know it one day, me with your number, who you begged to embrace, a life unencumbered, my insides screech, cornfields whisper and sway, voices die in the breeze, waste of time don't bother, it’s such a disgrace, you can roll the thunder, dance with the mustard seed, a certain rising too late, but you'll never see, that look upon my face.

Saturday 19 December 2020

Natalie Three

You ask how I cope, if you could only help, to take us back home, why make me suffer, away from the Lens, no need for your buffers, keep out of my zone, you might mean well, but I’m better alone, don't bring in your mother, let her stay in her shell, be a part time lover, we’ll roll with the blow, on bar stools and leather, our skin might need soap, but with syrups and scent, my life won’t be tethered, by you or your friends, I’ll laugh at the rope, that dangles bereft, that weighs all your hope, while I gaze to heaven.

Friday 18 December 2020

Natalie

What do you care, sprinkle salt on my traces, tell me what to wear, tunes you play aren’t easy, blue choral across my face, spun by the breeze, say you want to share, but here’s no kissing place, why put me there, in chains to the sea, waves like your gaze, a dull line to empty, hard to know what's fair, when that voice is raised. lips that snare, down sand - cut streams, no one escapes, oh, so sugar-sweet, you're such a liar, think you’re so great, are you aware, what’s washed away?

Thursday 17 December 2020

Jackie Three

For each little bit of you, if anyone enquires, we won’t give a clue, life isn't a trombone, you play in a choir, why should they 'phone, your small cup of ruin, is brighter than fire, it’ll get you in tune, you know you may know, this poisoned desire, that twists you along, don’t ask for truth, say who's for hire, you’ll find out soon enough, if someone moans, and then expires, study their bones, down on the avenue, sing on the wire, always pay your dues, you're a straight flyer.

Wednesday 16 December 2020

Jackie Two

Can’t you tell why, accept you’ve been chosen, reach for the sky, stare at dead places, you’re mouth frozen, arctic stupid phrases, sing your favourite lines, our time done with roses, accept all you deny, beyond children’s faces, laughter shrieks unbroken, don’t carve out their stations, at the graveside, witness love's bonus, ships reach for the tide, what settles the debate, won’t care nor follow us, we blew over the traces, a flower at your side, just some little token, more a wish to verify, what remains unspoken.

Jackie

Why live in a haze, it's not like that time, you frazzled like cellophane, best not to moan, or warm holy wine, you were only a loan, why jump the trains, scour the line, for the perfect way, in your worn-out clothes, you did look fine, even on your bones, make a step change, scrape off the grime, come with me today, when someone groans, try to understand why, recognise that zone, don’t betray your days, let your heart unwind, find love instead of trade, you’ll know in time.

Monday 14 December 2020

Bella Three

Look at the moon, a Spring tide today, everything comes around too soon, the birds who have gone, seeking away, sing as they go, my eyes are like pools, wouldn't it be great, to discover something new, here in the zones, no one deigns, to worry about loans, someone not cruel, but poised sedate, who forgets about dues, or where the wind blows, all emotion stayed, an emptiness done, my good parts are cool, clear as acetate, will you come here too, your heart aflame?

Sunday 13 December 2020

Bella Two

If I need another home, help me to say, what you know is gone, what I need to do, to unravel the waste, pick out the new, in troubled zones, find solace in each day, If you catch yourself alone, the sea is lemon blue, cafe's swell with rain, I’m always there with you, here in my bones, love will find a way, without being shown, sought by the few, with no thought for gain, life echoes this truth, brilliant stones, glisten your name, waters groan, tell me again.

Saturday 12 December 2020

Bella

This is not me, jelly for thoughts, each day of gethsemane, such a 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, denying the seasons, wondering if I'm born, howling for eternity, you’ll raise the stakes, fear of being torn, you’ll try to act brave, who dreams of purgatory, sitting on a wall, boom of a broken sea, not wanting to fall?

Friday 11 December 2020

Caitlyn Three

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

Thursday 10 December 2020

Caitlyn Two

Whoever owns the night, the wind rocked room, makes you wonder why, I keep a cheerful home, outside are the dunes, I’m always on the go, forget the bitter times, all the cool untruths, where different worlds collide, living dreams without a phone, I’m always glad to see you, a piece of life postponed, the air splashing by, fog like a final soup, some wait all their lives, others touch the stones, kid themselves to look, who they were before, laugh at freedom passing by, laugh and hum a tune, says it's stupid to lie, whatever else I do.

Wednesday 9 December 2020

Caitlyn

It just goes to show, when I hear your blues, in some lane dead slow, a witness to your sighs, the ugly feuds, your weary lies, the missed loans, anything to unglue, my frozen bones, instead of jibes, and all your doodle doo, why make me cry, is it all you know, how to haunt a venue, keeping up a cheery tone, trying to be wise, it's nothing new, I've marked these nights, better face the blow, something I always knew, heaven's in my soul, there’s no space for you.

Tuesday 8 December 2020

Ellie Three

if you knew how to give, you wouldn't need, this place to live, it’s no child’s game, around your greed, chastened by your days, what about the kids, with all their surly needs, will you let them adrift, golden lies don’t negate, the spin of the breeze, why blow them away, a spider with your woven fibs, your blue life’s no wheeze, banging the lid, I’m the fool to resonate, bring you gifts, while you delegate, spend your time in drips, no loving need, this yellow night bids, can make you see.

Monday 7 December 2020

Ellie Two

You who always fight, wear robes of purple hue, should note my cotton stripes, within a sea of sharks, your smile arrives on cue, beams while I sink, gives me some crass disguise, a lightness of balloons, makes me wise, I shuffle like a tank, to the visitor's room, my hair shines, it blows around your eyes, behind fake news, there is a bridge of sighs, you're no dismal crank, your spirit lifts the room, I call you Frank, you’ll pay these fines, there's nothing to refuse, will present my best smile, make you laugh like new.

Saturday 5 December 2020

Faisa Three

I'll dance with you, if I'm not too late, melt me like glue, don't make me groan, like I’m a special case, yellow doused Cologne, I'll borrow the moon, church and state, if you'll beat the blues, we are never alone, hope’s at the gate, a promenade to your throne, tell me the truth, if your vision's great, why hold it in ruins, maybe a lazy home, made your case, dusty as a heavy tome, you make me swoon, keep me as your date, to hell with the rumours, love doesn’t age.

Friday 4 December 2020

Faisa Two

Cold blue slate, hides your bones, you who always arrived late, I give money to schools, you had no phone, but smiled like a fool, why try to engage, with someone that gone, all that baggage, who needed proof, when you sat and moaned, said I'll show you, there are few sophisticate, blown on weather zones, who'd rescue your case, they say you swooned, let everything blow, when they locked the room, I’ll cheat that fate, wear summer clothes, find gold in the grate, honour your soul.

Thursday 3 December 2020

Faisa

Bring me sparkling jewels, let me laugh through tears, driftwood stacks the winter fuel, my voice brings you grace, what else can you hear, there is no bad faith, turn your head you fool, you need this siren near, don't feel bemused, my singing tells your fate, my perfume costs you dear, listen before too late, dreams and other rules, you ache for visions clear, golden domes pursued, sing along the shipping lanes, a whole life in tears, you carry too much freight, laugh at torrid news, steer a passage clear, put away your issues, all you need is here.

Wednesday 2 December 2020

Matty Three

Raise a sweet sign, in darkness grain blue, your eyes alight, come with me I moan, to this place of virtue, no one dies alone, we sail down the aisle, light many a fuse, make prayers of our lives, steer an even course, swollen by your perfume, temptation is all we know, you are my sight, more than any muse. only you can decide, where we’ll grow old, who will bring the news, to lives in the fold, bells ring out the night, our journey fires the truth, your tears tell me why, I really do love you.

Tuesday 1 December 2020

Matty Two

You’re lucky to pass this way, each evening I conjugate, why no one here is brave, I’m like a seer, but not that great, can’t tell what they fear, by broken laws pray, define theselves by hate, no gentleness in their say, I can still drink beer, even laugh too late, an innocent musketeer, bells ring out for play, rather than enslave, I’m the one who delegates, other stuff brings tears, why scream or hesitate, let other souls come near, my yellow hair is waved, the sum of constant forays, lovers, plaster saints, you like me won’t wait.

Monday 30 November 2020

Matty

Look at me I seethe, is it my grey hair, do I need new teeth, I’m always too late, as if you'd care, step on me like a crate, what might have been, is not fair, just need a bit 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?

Sunday 29 November 2020

Eline Three

Your love make me faint, where else can you go, my eyes look grave, forget what's not fair, in the life of soul, I’m not that square, take my hand and hesitate, don't make me groan, show me the milky way, it's not my long hair, plaided like a tow rope, that makes you scared, I go against the grain, out here alone, find you hard to relegate, my song is my lair, think it’s me you own, inside this magic fair, the howl resonates, world's not made of stone, hands across my face, all you need to know.

Saturday 28 November 2020

Eline Two

Don't break holy orders, claim it’s too much bother, stuff you swore, love is free to crash, all the stuff you smother, a window without a sash, can you see my core, belly like an oven, alive with burning flaws, whenever money's crap, you curse my brothers, say love’s not on tap, hard stuff behind a door, fools live without shutters, then run away fraught, book and deeds lashed, I won’t lie like the others, will ignore their cash, pay a heavy score, I’ve always been another, scent for me is raw, better take cover.

Friday 27 November 2020

Eline

Lit up like some ocean bar, within the hurricane zones, I search for forgotten laws, only fools pay their dues, let you drink alone, leave me here to stew, you can only go so far, before the lining folds, start to shine the parts, even without a feud, on throwaway 'phones, my ravaged face turns Blue, your hair is like tar, Saints reveal their bones, where’s he gone your Da, this trail is well used, far away from home, does life circle around you, mine is not a lucky star, sometimes hits the right note, this decking for a Spa, tales of love a joke.

Thursday 26 November 2020

John Four

I throw away the years, every age has its past, the laughs and happy tears, no life is too short, for those you trust, within our toil of waters, you run like the deer, with a smell of musk, hazy bars you step clear, I knew I’d be caught, spinning pennies in the dust, am overawed, on what brought me here, bathed on this tidal flood, for you to be sincere, no book or district Court, hides the fact I’m bust, what I sought, blows flame across my fears, brings me all the luck, hopes before you disappear, riding on the dusk.

Wednesday 25 November 2020

John Three

You won't see me hail, anyone else’s prances, on roads of darkest pale, always play the fool, wait for kindness to pass, no path is smooth, nothing more to say, a gift of pure chance, when you come my way, I rage against lost feuds, lilac at a lonely fast, they don’t get to you, life is like a freighter, and our faces tanned, pushing down the highway, I know what to do, pull over make a stand, you're no fool, study me again, test your eyes for balance, say what you want to say, give me a chance

Tuesday 24 November 2020

John Two

Stand by an unlit lamp, a tree, a bridge, shaking, I wait like a tramp, Inside hear some muted song, who would ever say, I used to belong, better take a chance, play this game, maybe go to France, hope I’m not wrong, looking at the rain, stream against a lovely bar, wonder how much it costs, shuffle what remains, no more wounds to lance, someone will come along, Heh Pal come this way, put something in my pocket, cigarettes and laughs, beer like champagne, my life dances, praise each sweet day.

Monday 23 November 2020

John

Wouldn't it be great, to forget how much we owe, celebrate the remains, beat the times gone wrong, when rivers skinned our bones, within us all our song, I watch for your face, tumble down a naked slope, save us from the rains, we'll just bumble along, laugh with what we know, assent that we're strong, fling the watch away, spinning as the wind blows, trains arrive all day, I’ll never let you down, tap you for a loan, you have no need to go, red lips ornate, rooms where flowers grow, pints and whisky chasers, you’ll never feel alone.

Marta Three

Living here's no paradise, never makes the news, it’s hard to be nice, might as well be space, people walk around like glue, need food on their plate, everyone wants a better life, show what they can do, away from all the spite, our song still resonates, a feeling far from Blue, in an almost constant state, this barrio is our life, always something here for you, under naked sodium lights, this is what we create, to sing within our blood, we don't stay up late, home is our easy nights, when we look at truth, will be whem we die, laughing at our youth.

Saturday 21 November 2020

Marta Two

Mornings I ask myself why, can we ever atone, pale as my children’s eyes, might as well be Mars, for all they know, we're still that far, they laugh within my sight, the wind is black and cold, you’re here another time, them and dogs you want, don't get stoned, remain calm, when you hear me cry, running from a broken phone, just don’t sigh, say here’s another scar, to keep you at home, a battle is not a war, no matter how we fight, or strain our yellow bones, hold me tight tonight

Friday 20 November 2020

Marta

You drape all my needs, like seaweed on the bar, salt brings serenity, blow all my pay, then fly away afar, what a terrible waste, clinging to the sea, like something in a bottle, it won’t set you free, a different age, have to stamp the tar, still you deliberate, roll out all my deeds, in a warm hazy fog, childhood dreams, dancing on the waves, all the stuff you're not, instead we view the wreckage, love's no good for me, too many scars, holy water is my drink, , what's going on?

Sal Three

Can you identify, which back door, lies between moon and sky, what till has been emptied, and other parts thrown, on this Spring tide, don't need an inquiry, when truth is bought, then buried, witness the crime, you know the score, during this black night, some drink whisky, laugh like they're taught, it makes them happy, every walk of life, ends in a nought, you don’t need a knife, security lights, pool on the floor in winter’s fastness, there rise the poor.

Wednesday 18 November 2020

Sal Two

Before my fame, I thought only of you, and what you craved, shadows pass down in smoke, against an awful truth, shocked again I'm broke, you always waste, my successful tunes, in this different age, at the clubs before, long vibrant rooms, I stripped to the bone, and inside the best cafe's, made them swoon, through long nights and days, I held a simple note, lonely men soothed, their betrayals atoned, to begin again, is hardly new, this serenade, is called lemon blue.

Sal

You wonder why I pray, with kids like these, they'd make you use cocaine, run a bath with foam, won’t live by your creed, my loving isn't done, I hold your face, forget to say please, see horizons in the rain, the wind and holy stones, will help with our needs, assist the journey home, fire us through dreary days, make our troubles ease, withstand the fray, forget the lonesome tones, now we’re suddenly free, and alone, remember the crazes, our trips to the beach, a scrimped for praise, our dancing sea ?

Sarah Three

You scream the news, in troubled nights, as if you knew, all the different ones, left hanging on the line, I loved now gone, fire burns up the flue, tell me how to cry, when you look so blue, it’s not me you unlocked, swimming on the tide, everything you held and lost, no matter who you use, however you may try, you are not immune, who cares that I’m crocked, something deep inside, shines outside my shock, who will smell my perfume, strange pillows furl the sky, death brings no easy due, even when you die.

Sunday 15 November 2020

Sarah Two

I’m set to freeze, my soul strung out tight, someone get me free, in your eyes amour, do what's right, you know the score, rock me gently, say everything ‘s fine, don't worry baby, the hearts of lost souls, all entwined, roll around my floor, glamorous, perfect, serene, you kiss me quietly, hold what others have dreamed, ever so tight, have I just died, and loll on water, a star across the sea, I swear to the night, I’ll find some ease, I’ll be alright.

Saturday 14 November 2020

Sarah

Don't stay up too late, say that love squarely exists, tell me get my skates, the earth hesitates, like it has a stitch, I’m not afraid, someone says give me change, the pavement is playing this, it'd be a cheek to say, spin your plates, he wants to see my tits, creepy by the door frame, walking by his place, it’s s like a launderette, tumbling out my fate, his little smile migrates, with all the other misfits, who’ve never seen a wage, such times of little grace, when you figure it, it’s me who makes a face, is something missing ?

Friday 13 November 2020

Asha Three

You keep trouble at bay, that this job requires, any problems look away, they pester you for loans, your eyes seek the tide, you're not alone, we stumble in the haze, fan our desire, no one’s easy or brave, scared to your bones, they don’t call you a liar, but threaten with guns, ride the blue waves, like a cold fish knife, I’m your only gain, why don't you 'phone, I’ve made candlelit signs, It’s not easy on my own, is this what you slake, to dampen each fire, something to trade, until you retire?

Thursday 12 November 2020

Asha Two

It's quiet here now, after fifty years of need, heart smooth as stone, still as the cave, where praise be, I hope to be saved, my body with the snow, back in my country, when it starts to blow, give me this place, I’ll take serenity, especially on feast days, geese with barren tones, hang the air to freeze, above my right shoulder, they see me sway, the light of the season, I'm still on the rails, in the blue dawn, stripped down like a tree, in my hands a rose, the old loving fancy.

Wednesday 11 November 2020

Asha

I still hear me Da, laughing like a foghorn, it seems so far, happy he's not scarred, or left forlorn. I start the car, I see him stamp the tar, like a newborn, his ashes fall like stars, I switch off, looking war-torn, right from the start, he’ll never join the ark, not even sure, about his great heart, can’t find that chart, my son knows the score', how it’s gone too far, trips to the funeral park, old shirts he’s worn, why do I tear apart, love has no form

Tuesday 10 November 2020

Kamala Three

Bellow at a cause betrayed, conceal the bitter holy things, take them to your grave, don’t afford the Blues, let every bell ring, our day will come on cue, what a song they make, a curdled soup of crying, everyone knows their fate, dab perfume around the room, when called upon to bring, life to such a hula-hoop, watch ships in the bay, you really want to fling, salt on heartache far away, with the kids brand new, laugh at everything, even if it isn't true, don’t gamble all and say, their hate to me is nothing, can’t cheat a turning page, find this time to sing.

Monday 9 November 2020

Kamala Two

They’ll let you know, what people feel, almost in their bones, the jilted smile's strain, hung over easy, they see it all this way, take your time right now, in nights without pleasing, a river always flows, why let the low disdain, mirror mountain streams, get on day by day, they want you to blow, from all of justice schemes, where you want to go, you’re a long time delayed, but work within a team, face the dread uncertainty, what you do takes show, tell us how we've been, do more than warm your toes, there is another dream.

Sunday 8 November 2020

Joe Three

Forget all these clowns, that come to woo you, many without elan, as loud as their woes, harbour ships blow hooters, every song sings of home, not just what’s gone, that makes them swoon, but better than a throne, your face deadpan, in bars full of cruisers , you’d rather be on plan, nothing comes by chance, your eyes are ruined, everything comes to pass, head back she raises a laugh, what can they do to her, with hard countenance, strange in these ocean towns, these faded boozers, how they raise your crown, culled from the sewer.

Saturday 7 November 2020

Joe Two

why stay by the door, your face a savage hue, the hurt is swollen raw, no sense of ease, expect them now to Queue, you could never say please, be defined by whores, waiting here in the gloom, there's many in your cause, it’s bad on every street, no one hears good news, but no need to scream, still time to do your chores, make your life anew, sweat in the furious pause, don't shout and scream, spitting out your spume, only fools don’t heed, can't you hear them roar, were you ever the glue, for that long held cause, we're waiting for you

Kamala

If it’s in your blood, in this house of whispers, who says it’s no good, places you want to claim, haven't had justice, heavy hearts on rusted freeways, time goes bust, something vague is no bonus, being prepared’s a must, find another way, simply do what needs insist, knowledge is always gain, maybe we need a tug, sail on without a ship, when sun lifts the fog, search for love again, walk the middle distance, never bow to shame. an Ocean never floods, why make a fuss, many a life's in trouble, plenty here for all of us.

Friday 6 November 2020

Joe

You'll pay a heavy score, my face is savage blue, hurt is swollen raw, no sense of ease, always in your Queue, you would never say please, I’m not divined by whores, Waiting here in the gloom, no footfall for your cause, it’s bad on every street, no one hears good news, but no need to scream, I hack at lonely chores, turn my life askew, sweat in furious pause, why shout and swear at me, spitting out your spume, only fools don’t heed, you rage and roar, you never were the glue, you pray at some lonely door, we’re already over you.

Thursday 5 November 2020

Martina Three

If it’s in your blood, in this house of whispers, who says it’s no good, places you want to claim, don't need a chorus, heavy hearts on belted freeways, time goes bust, something vague is no bonus, being prepared’s a must, find another way, simply do what time insists, knowledge is always gain, maybe you need a tug, sail away without a ship, when rain hits the dust, search for love again, walk the middle distance, never bow to shame. an Ocean never floods, why make a fuss, many a life's in trouble, plenty for all of us.

Wednesday 4 November 2020

Martina Two

Is this how we imitate, our inventive best, when we twist and shake, open every door, try for the Apprentice, wake up sore, fuelled with what we take, like all the rest, we won’t hesitate, fools sing for applause, faith is the test, does two and two make four, the night's cool probate, scatters our innocence, no matter what cost resonates, with the drunken poor, they ask for our presence, they give us the floor, the search for fame, is the brand they blend, don’t sweep them away, they're our new friends

Maerina Two

Tuesday 3 November 2020

Martina

Is this really the place, to ask the reason why, my love is ruined, the haze of loss and show, beats out lonely time, nowhere else to go, soaked on the Spanish main, desolate in my cry, I never try to calculate, what I need to know, no longer beat the sky, wooden box or one-way crow, when I jump the rail, boxcar irons safe to climb, forget the spikes of jail, my lips won’t go, near this sweetheart’s tie, or witness gentle sorrow, no easy way to fake, what hurts me deep inside, take it to my grave, eyes open wide.

Monday 2 November 2020

Sran Four

Do you think when beat, perhaps sing a common air, I can rescue everything, if love’s the frame, heaven’s my place to share, I have my good name, when in depths of need, I’ll be taking care, it's not easy being free, getting there’s the game, trousers full of tears, even up the lane, I know how to keep, a wooden face in every lair, drink’s my sole conceit, everything else I can tame, pass hours on hard chairs, even wrapped in chains, will everyone see, the gaps between my hair, eyes lit up like kerosene, my dreams elsewhere?

Sunday 1 November 2020

Sean Three

You say get a grip, when I fail down below, another momentary slip, I don't need drugs to pray, sooth my bones, my quest to get away, dreamers have surly lips, manacles of wretched homes, others take a coin and flip, easy jokes and spirits flay, across 49 different time zones, everything we gain, drowns in a headlight dip, in consumptive hollows, take another nip, won’t know how I stay, if I can dump this ‘phone, when faith is a getaway, I’ll make this trip, the wind will moan, nail me to a coffin ship, c'mon baby let’s go

Saturday 31 October 2020

Sean Two

Your kisses leave me, shivering on the train, silver tongues bereft of family, the wailed news, lies dead across my face, more jelly than the blues, who knows what to believe, the falling rain , is a blessed relief, it will bring the crew, to these shifting gates, that always tell the truth, a swollen handkerchief, a stillborn fate, a star across the sea, it’s so cruel, how hard life can be, before sunset glooms, where tears can't reach, a soul astray, don't spoil my dreams, I’m on my way.

Sean

You’re like sugared tea, tears are lachrymose, jokes your repartee, might have once been so, you suppose, never one to moan, the wind starts to ease, you’ll ride out the blow, replace it with certainty, the moon suits your tone, you'd never agree, doors needs to close, here by the sea, why bother to roam, when you can believe, dreams are best at home, the kid’s are all fine, you drink alone, when their mother leaves, best change your clothes, huff to the lavatory, shift twenty stone.

Raith Two

Will I stay the same, beneath the trees, each time we separate, remember the times, we drank in the heat, sat drinking wine, now a morning drain, it's not just our feet, in this tired game, believe me, I'm fine, I dream of the sea, to me it's the sky, what does it take, with my dawn novena, to see you again, smile like a hurricane, fix you something to eat, watch you hesitate, why can’t you remain, the sun sinks uneven, cars fill up their lanes, wait until she’s been?

Thursday 29 October 2020

Raith Three

It's been some time. but there you go, others wait in line, when donkeys start to bray, or the cock crows, I'll have my say, no need to bind, what you don’t own, on boardwalk miles, a star shows the way, frozen in my clothes, this is no holiday, kid you I don't mind, it’s just another show, drink a little wine, stay here and say, wrapped up in the snow, I’ll sing the night away, raid s skip for fire, don’t worry or scold, my face bears a smile, it runs through my bones.

Tuesday 27 October 2020

Raith

A diagnosis only half true, you smell the Limes, on a tree-lined avenue, act like you know, the tests that tighten, hard to your bones, hope is no proof, to show if they’re right, except there's no clue, you won't be alone, in this cosy light, to break out the stones, you sit near the flue, it's not like a crime, for fire to warm you, you have to keep going, each starry night, when the kid's phone, say you’ll be fine, drink vodka with juice, it’s just a strange time, to ask what you're doing?

Monday 26 October 2020

Kevin Three

I’m fully aware, think I’m so great, who am I to care, looking for a home, a country across my face, I’m too far gone, a hand held to bear, the shaking out of fate, got all I need here, heaven screams alone, when voices fade, no one left to call in chains at the bar, plan a great escape, used as a timeshare, a bird that's flown, when shutters raise, time that’s gone cold, what if you dare, to draw down my traces, don't you understand, I’m broken freight ?

Sunday 25 October 2020

Kevin Two

Put me on the train, I can hardly speak, you listen to the rain, forget sunlit avenues, or this roof that leaks, a bucket of bad news, Paris or Marseilles, anywhere they speak, not somewhere fake, pray I’ll see you soon, before my hair is grey, in your lavender room, don’t mark this day, when crazy inner deeds, come out to play, a magnolia blooms, love turns at ninety degrees, it’s not my tune, what is there to say, who would believe, that prayers are forsaken, when I hear the sea?

Saturday 24 October 2020

Kevin

Please don't groan, stifle your screams, I ’m not landing home, a knife to my throat, you know where I’ve been, it keeps me going, I don’t need a stone, to throw into the sea, searching for love, please dance with my ghosts, happy as jumping beans, toasting the lost, when you love alone, you’ll know what I mean, what hurts the most, in my greatcoat, you once used to tease, resides my late soul, I'm not here to atone, for our busted seams, just to say I welcome, all your new dreams.

Friday 23 October 2020

Sam Three

If that’s my crime, a sentence to come, I’ll drink some wine, won’t get bitter, what passes for love, I can’t alter this, forget broken lines, that sing in my blood, it’s another life, that you tried to flip, all there to discover, is found in my grip, entwined, silence in the pub, I’ll note the time, no more quips, on a face that I scrub, I laugh at such hits, hear the clock chime, won’t be misunderstood, feel that I’m flying, give hands a little rub.

Thursday 22 October 2020

Sam Two

Dance in dancer’s shoes, sing songs on the wire, always pay your dues, if no one 'phones, don’t wait for a flyer, you know where to go, each little bit of you, faced with someone’s ire, says here is the truth, life isn't a stone, you leave in the fire, no one lives alone, it’s your choice of ruin, louder than a choir, pay another crew, know in your bones, when others conspire, you can always go home, they bring you the news, yell who's for hire, ignore their curfews, you're not a liar.

Wednesday 21 October 2020

Sam

A flower at your side, just some little token, held with great pride, ribbons in your hair, stuff that you know, never so clear, too silly to ask why, that early photograph, shows you can fly, forget all the hurt, a child’s memory provokes, outside of your care, wish heaven's cry, shrunken or coaxed, you’ve no need to cry, all that you share, is warm in your clothing, the weather’s fair, sing favourite lines, know that love's spoken, don’t have to try , know you’ve been chosen.

Tuesday 20 October 2020

Reya Three

Chained to our days, will they ever forgive, the mess we made, best not to moan, or want to rescind, this life as a loan, we live in a haze, recovered from bliss, stuck together like cellophane, we’re not alone, to carry on like this, there's meat on our bones, live for today, we’ll make love a trip, more than a trade, welcome their stones, consider the shift, we’re going home, when someone says, we don't fit in, we’ll show them the way, what it is to give.

Reya Two

These waters groan, they whisper your name, our ship sails alone, doesn’t know what to do, a brilliant sail, covers the crew, can we ever atone, what’s sought in our name, especially at war, how ungainly the ruin, that brings us disgrace, to face our ship now, the love that has flown, we study the waste, in this troubled home, the sea is lemon blue, your face drained, nothing more is new, whatever has flown, help us stay sane, honour and blood, we hold by the flame.

Sunday 18 October 2020

Reya

Memories of your face, so eager to please, the cool of your grace, you recoil at my thunder, my very conceit, a man fixed on numbers, they call me too late, eager to squeeze, the dreams where you lay, a path uncluttered, my insides heave, you were never my lover, who goes out one day, while I’m asleep, love falls away, it makes you wonder, rings, headstones, states, who splits who asunder, who, I hear you say, you now smile easy, never afraid , from what’s released

Saturday 17 October 2020

Kwnny Four

Brilliant bones sculpture your frame, Autumn’s in full flow, you want to be free, this is some game, how to stay happy, dance on the floor, walk away from fame, others will follow, taste salt by the sea, fools think it's a shame, what you believe, to love each home, circle each day, then ask where it goes, stones and glass pieces, drunken oblates, sing with fat priests, as if on the morrow, no one shares blame, you caw like a Crow, into the rain.

Kenny Three

He hails when you come by, laughs and hums and kids says what she says a lie she keeps a cheerful home, to do's on yellow lists, always on the go, her life starts to fry, searching for what she's missed, some waste all their lives, others walk the stones, searching for a kiss, what they'd thrown before, forget the bitter times, the stuff she’s shipped, bars, rain, days of tides, dreams she can’t postpone, always glad to see you, happy that you called, whoever owns the night, and the stars like milk, don’t have to ask why, life with him has dipped

Friday 16 October 2020

Kenny Two

You live life by drops, no poem or big sea, green lights turn to stop, words only grate, about lousy gifts, in green lies your fame, latticed with coughs, just a wheeze, to show whose on top, some child’s game, around your greed, you always find a way, to let them know who's boss, everyone squeezed, like a kitchen cloth, golden socks can't delay, your fight over deeds, the need to hold sway, give it all to love, you wouldn't need, if you gave a toss, but you won’t see.

Danny Three

His lips twist like knives, he is not forgiving, eyes scan the river high, what else is new, the wind bites when living, our trips to secret venues, my mother says stay wise, he'll make you earn a living, many a tortured night, our love is never smooth, I’m tobacco blonde and slipping, maybe it's true, maybe she's right, skinned alive when sinning, sunlight, water, sky, he’ll want his revenue, laughter's for the giving, his eyes are bright blue, nails me with that smile, a glance docked by winning, he dances in the tide, is this my new beginning?

Monday 12 October 2020

Dany Two

You laugh at stupid fate, glad that you’re not dead, find gold in a crate, this is what you do, always stay ahead, smile like a fool, know the latest rate, even from your bed, fools come too late, give money to kid’s school, tho' you've got no cred, who knows what’s true, Oh you carry weight, nothing you can’t shed, when it’s to your taste, in a time of feuds, don’t call the Feds, arrange another curfew, a cold grey state, settles in your head, why hesitate, wear your red dress.

Sunday 11 October 2020

Dany

In leaving desperate news, I set a passage clear, nothing else will do, don’t carry heartache home, it might cost us dear, won’t tell them where I’ve gone, nothing left to rue, a course for different fears, ones I thought I knew, if this makes you groan, think what else is near, drag it all alone, there’ll be other rules, any vision comes with tears, golden domes unused, take another loan, put perfume on my ears, on such paths we're born, food that is just gruel, prayers instead of beer, no need to be cruel, we'll ride the bitter years.

Stevie Three

Sing along on trains, turn their laughs to stone, don’t wonder why you came, forget what's on your mind, it’s all about your soul, you're not the lonely child, crying makes you play, a song all your own, hands reach to your face, don't take fright, throw them some rope, keep any stray you find, rub against the grain, stay out there alone, don't worry about freight, your songs make them smile, now they’re far from home, it stems the fear inside, this railroad’s always late, all your life's on show, guide them along the way, just keep going.

Friday 9 October 2020

Stevie Two

Why do you need to phone, the airport is not far, love is just a joke, a screen that you use, searching near and far, as dreams circle around us, Saints reveal their bones, they leave their scars, don’t do passion alone, why draw up a feud, at this crowded bar, you know what to do, just leave me here and go, my head bonging la la, you’re right at home, heading for the blue, waving to your lucky star, I’ll down another few, it’s not a great start, safe within my credit zones, what’s inside me nearly gone, the keys to the car ?

Thursday 8 October 2020

Stevie

Don't pray in the rain, or swear upon your ma, stuff you can't fake, hopes you won’t use, smother what it costs , places without refuge, see that portrait, of you wounded and lost, JOHN it’s got your name, whatever you choose, don't shout blah, whoever pays the dues, whisky fires the brain, souls live without trouble, you won’t run away, nor brook a dawn curfew, force the door ajar, despite golden avenues, gains that you'll make, make without scars, true spirits of the highway, travel without cars.

Wednesday 7 October 2020

Jenny Three

If I warm my toes, around your fire, can’t deny what I know, that what I choose, for many a lie, is lost on my excuses, a chance to show, on dancing wires, how much I can grow, I’m not the fool, who plays for time, running with news, more than here and now, I’ll make what’s right, by these holy vows, my blood's smoky blue, don’t need you to enquire, if t’s good, I'm not undersold, don't need a sign, to live without windows, pour me that wine.

Tuesday 6 October 2020

Jenny Two

Your eyes always chase, places where no one goes, champagne cognac too late, forget how much we blew, kill the need to know, steer away from news, we’re always on the game, paying off the loan, we’ll tackle what remains, you never seem to rue, the way we’ve been let down, say it’s part of you, why worry about the gain, at supper hide our groans, whistle off our pain, say it’s all a ruse, a dream of yesterday, being part of a crew, wouldn't it be great, to stay on the road, throw out all the hate, watch it go.

Jenny

Fire and evening light, when you play my tune, I always cry, hanging on my phone, it rings with blues, I hear your lovely tones, this beach has come to life, the white sand soothes, away from Freeway tyres, bring grace to our home, accept all we do, even atone, this return to paradise, will never make the news, frees us from all strife, to gather what has gone, somewhere we can glue, isolate but not alone, you’re always nice, never hide what’s true, skip in this warm tide, what it is to lose.

Sunday 4 October 2020

Cathy Three

Why hang around the mall, sit down in the rain, hover at infirmary's door, you are never home, always the same, stuff makes you roam, what am I saying this for, there’s nothing to gain, while you dance with whores, can't you atone, smooth away my pain, I'm not on loan, you know the score, my face a savage shade, I’m praying I don’t roar, I never want to moan, say this time it’s too late, spit on the floor, cry out your name, you’re not needed anymore, face myself again love's too raw

Cathy Two

Happy songs in my car, funds still in the bank, the trail leaves no mark, blown in on the bay, a ticking of the crank, does it have to be this way, I peer within your bars, even sunshine's dank, scatter ashes in the dark, what is there to say, my mind fills up blank, clings to a brighter day, Oh, you are a dog, no one else to thank, rolled me like a log, brought me to this state, let me be frank, there’s plenty left anyway, you’ll never know how far, what goes down the track, can see what's going on, gas still in my tank.

Friday 2 October 2020

Cathy

Sometimes I ask why, can we ever atone, our eyes on fire, it could be shame, that lights our home, each night and every day, not given foresight, the wind blows cold, you make another line, kids that bear your name, you let roam, are you insane, when you hear me cry, don’t leave a hanging phone, it's not enough to sigh, buy some shiny nails, help me with the loans, this house is not a jail, no matter how we fight, or bruise our callow bones, let’s do this right, don’t act gone.

Thursday 1 October 2020

rayo three

Please don't ask why, one lonely swimming pool, roils between me and sky, tell me it’s nothing, those lives in a sewer, you’d never offer, songs for our wedding night, did I behave uncouth, stuff you'd get right, want me to suffer, you had bad dreams too, act like a winner, bring sweetness to the light, save it for the few, buttered dreams candlelight, to act like your buffer, along with this cruise, you embrace everything, you want me to fly, for fear of losing, I can’t dance on wire, I’ve paid my dues.

Wednesday 30 September 2020

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

Tuesday 29 September 2020

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.

Monday 28 September 2020

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.

Sunday 27 September 2020

antony Two

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.

Friday 25 September 2020

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?

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.

Tuesday 22 September 2020

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.

Saturday 19 September 2020

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?

Monday 31 August 2020

Iona

She says from on high, is that the sea, you have to wonder why, if it's true, she’s as bad as me, wingtips shine like jewels, a diamond sun sears bright, she has hopes of eternity, she says she’s fine, what’s wrong with this crew, she enquires breezily, we'll sleep till noon, sailing the sky, nothing else bears scrutiny, in this cold April light, we're so glad and cool, who can expect sympathy, when we act like fools, on these long day flights, we drink for company, don’t know if we're right, but with strange reease.

Sunday 30 August 2020

Natalie Three

what it means to try, within a screaming gale, hoping not to lie, in your bones, you don't need to fail, to find yourself alone, studying a time, when life’s a trial, helped along by wine, how you atone, when love wails, in faces around your home, flip a coin see the sky, think of taking sail, best to leave this way, walk-on broken stones, discard desolate mail, be kind to weeping hosts, can’t be worse than Jail, try to dance the while, when you hit the trail, embrace uncertain smiles.

Saturday 29 August 2020

Natalie Two

We stretch our sunny days, your smile's a living dream, now you're on your way, save me the good news, like a dear one’s face, you always know what to do, laughing in the rain, on St Anthony's quay, it’s great to see you again, there’s a spirit in you, that’s so easy, no parish of broken rules, I’ll work and save, whenever there's a need, we might even take sail, the lovers you took, are only a dream, you're nobody’s fool, meet me in a warm cafe', return all of that feeling, ask for more cake, no one's speaking.

Friday 28 August 2020

Natalie

Is it just this time, your mother's come, singing with a different lie, anyone can phone, or cover up as dumb, love catches in her throat, a stamping ground for crime, no hint of being victim, she won't discuss the times, doesn't do alone, wants to have some fun, way beyond your zone, it’s you who waits in line, says C’mon mum, shaking like a vine, it nourishes her bones, to look around your home, wail out what she knows, each day lost to wine, she won’t waste a crumb, her face a bitter shine, weeping what she’s done.

Thursday 27 August 2020

Paddy Three

All of you make jokes, don't disturb the waves, or worry if you’ll cope, never stoop to choose, or firmly swim away, think how much you’ll lose, you're not a dope, to encourage easy ways, as if you had no scope, if you want good news, let others stand and gape, what you say is true, let them moan and mope, note every bitter face, each coming slope, separate the Blues, a distant tide or sail, ships still leave without you, some things you can’t clone, it never is too late, to face the sea alone, it's what makes you great.

Wednesday 26 August 2020

Paddy Two

Nothing else to gain, a knife to our throat, this is the only escape, they'll depart soon, bloodied on the waves, despite the news, you'll survive the wait, feel it in your bones, never hesitate, we’ll fight their hooks, you don’t want a throne, or the love of fools, hold that broken gaze, you're not a rolling stone, only Brigands seek escape, there’s no need to swoon, they won’t use the rope, you are no one's fool, it's not too late, make them swear and go, this is not our fate, leave us alone.

Tuesday 25 August 2020

Paddy

If you cook with gas, turn the flame up, give it a blast, face like a stone, it’s the way you love, not worth going home, silken ones who trap, think that you're stuck, roll around and laugh, circle you like ghosts, roll in the muck, don’t stay at their posts, you drink wine aghast, you’re no purling dove, whose wings will collapse, go on your own now, consider them fluff, you’re better off alone, no one has a pass, without some good luck, who always shouts Basta !!!! but never enough.

Monday 24 August 2020

James Three

You think that you rule, working on the bread line, regarding the fools, think you're so great, before other's demise, stop before it's too late, it makes you cruel, ignores what’s going on inside, the face of Mr Cool, once again, your eyes dance like fireflies, you’ll have your say, it’s a poor gruel, that overcooks these lies, if it’s all you do, lost in this game, it goes beyond the mind, of who holds the reins, burnt out mules, may offer you insight, but there is no tool, for being kind

Sunday 23 August 2020

James Two

My lover asks, were you even born, when you say nothing lasts, are these your ghosts, the dreams you’ve torn, that won't leave you alone, I adjust my mask, stroll down the lawn, I heed no Covid past, don't throw stones, at what you've known, it stops you growing, I enjoy these chit chats, am no fool to pawn, a ticket like that, with love in my bones, I’ll create a storm, everyone needs a home, the key’s on the mat, don’t look forlorn, I don't do aghast, or play the trombone.

Saturday 22 August 2020

James

You ask how I cope, If you could only help, to take me back home, why make me suffer, you little vixen, no need for your butter, stay out of my zone, I know you mean well, but I’m better alone, the words that you utter, don't come from a pen, they make my heart flutter, measure my chrome, put me in a spell, leave me in the open, I start to stutter, on bar stools of leather, you and my mother, my skin might need soap, but I’m not tethered, I laugh at your rope, save it for your friends

Friday 21 August 2020

Marie Three

I can sometimes feel, from each breath taken, a moment's ease, that makes me swoon, face washed happy, even in hospital waiting rooms, outside is a magnolia tree, life shows the way, sunlight hangs on trees, they’re playing my tune, forget lousy disease, the wind goes boom, passion is needed, my bed is a reel, I can smell the sea, dance on golden avenues, Paris, Marseilles, Fleur de Lys, all add to good news, the house timbers creak, tack tack falls the rain, I turn to speak, love is what stays.

Thursday 20 August 2020

Marie Two

What do you care, don't hold me in traces, you wouldn't dare, your tune is not easy, blue folds my face, spun by the breeze, say you need to share, this kissing place, why put me here, in chains to the sea, unlike your gaze, a hymn to what’s seized, I know what's fair, when your eyes glaze, lips that snare, on swollen dreams, no one escapes, sugar sweet, I’m no liar, to sing so great, are you aware, what you take?

Wednesday 19 August 2020

Marie

You sift through trouble, don't get frightened, none will tell on you, before you throw, and strew into the fire, all the stuff you loathe, silence is your hub, a source of brine, hands that you scrub, laugh at the cold, hear the clock chime, no one will ever know, remember summer love, forgive his broken wife, he sings in your blood, before the river flows, check the earth and tides, all the lies he told, pull on your gloves, take your time, shoulder what's to come, drink a little wine.

Tuesday 18 August 2020

Pete Three

For each little bit of you, if anyone enquires, don’t give them a clue, life isn't a stone, thrown into the fire, why should you atone, your little cup of ruin, is more than a choir, you still have the tunes, know in your bones, what poisons your desire, does it make you groan, whoever gives the news, to see who's for hire, find your own truth, if no one 'phones, try to inspire, leave well alone, dance down the avenues, sing on the wire, you’ve always paid dues, you're no kiss ass liar.

Monday 17 August 2020

Pete Two

Sober you ask why, the way it’s been chosen, before you can deny, stare at dead places, you’re mouth frozen, with stupid phrases, sing my favourite lines, our time done with roses, lovely when you try, at all the great stations beyond children hopeful, you neither shrink nor waste, even the graveside, you witness love's cloaking, clouds sail the sky, what settles on your face, neither time provokes, you blew over the traces, a flower at your side, just some little token, more a wish to verify, what lies broken.

Sunday 16 August 2020

Pete

I’ll take a ship to France, if you want me to stay, beg for a chance, don't get so cute, the way life is framed, I'm no fool, but thrown off balance, once again nailed, if you start to prance, I'm not so cool, lies are mere details, my ways are not smooth, don’t look askance, when I start to rail, passion can pass, shame's not for you nothing more to say, you don’t hear the tunes, or call out my name, please take my hand, look at me again, say I’ve got class?

Saturday 15 August 2020

Bella Three

Look at the moon, a spring tide today, everything comes around too soon, the birds who have flown, seeking away, singing as they go, your eyes don’t fool me, say wouldn't it be great, to find somewhere new, a place for the soul, where paradise reigns, forget mortgage loans, somewhere not cruel, but poised and sedate, where no ticket’s due, problems with ‘phones, emotion's a name, love’s sweet merry go, your good parts are true, I know is the case, but how will you argue, flying over the flames?.

Friday 14 August 2020

Bella Two

I live in a craze, sheltered from the wind, smooth as cellophane, don’t try to moan, I’ll burn holy candles, life is only a loan, jump every train, scour the land, for that perfect lane, see my sparkling clothes, I’ll enjoy the bland, am not on my bones, make a step change, blow your ten grand, give me love not trade, when someone groans, I’ll buy a caravan, move out of that zone, not chained to the days, my heart expands, It's all so great, don't you understand?

Thursday 13 August 2020

Bella The Chef

I need another home, somewhere to stay, now that you’re gone, what I need to do, is ship out the waste, forget about truth, in troubled zones, find solace in every day, try not to feel alone, the sea is lemon blue, cafe's swell with rain, they’re nothing new, here in my bones, I know there’s a way, to take control, something left to the few, who don’t laugh and say, sunshine kills the Blues, brilliant pheromones, whisper your name, my waters groan, I'm going today.

Wednesday 12 August 2020

Caitlyn Three

You smile easy, know just what to say, your spirits dance released, a high heeled slumber, stones, lintels, concave, make you turn and wonder, is it a lover’s retreat, that finds no shape, but allows you to name, this your number, when you state, your life is unencumbered, whose insides screech, tunes jingle and play, you run along the beach, roll in the thunder, forget the carapace, stay out of trouble, find a certain conceit, an act full of grace, eager to leave, good times on your face

Tuesday 11 August 2020

Caitlyn Two

The love you show, never goes to waste, a fool in every bone, you have no need, to circle every day, or save enough to flee, in garments sewn, by a drunken oblate, this is all you know, weeds, flowers, pieces, to keep your hands engaged, don’t need to be free, you’ve already flown, away from the shame, makes you sing as you go, a house by the sea, tides and winter and flame, keep you happy, brilliant stones, whisper your name, you are the full blow, they mark your passage.

Monday 10 August 2020

Caitlyn

You who own the night, the wind hushed fog dunes, do you wonder why, you keep a cheerful home, beat away the blues, always on the go, forget the bitter times, all the cool untruths, bars, rain, homicide, dreams of flying solo, always glad to see you, since last time they phoned, the air plashes by, the evening's getting cool, some wait all their lives, others touch the stones, kids themselves who fume, what they had before, men whistle passing by, you laugh and hum a tune, say it's stupid to lie, you love these rooms
