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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
