A cracked afternoon,
maybe offers some light,
makes me feel cool,
here in this game,
a race for your life,
it's who holds the reins,
don't act like a fool,
or try to be wise,
stop doing things you do,
if you're looking for gain,
heart thrums like a firefly,
let's look another way,
what makes it so cruel,
you're hurting inside,
being used like a mule,
if they ask the same,
try skimming the tides,
expose all their waste,
put on good shoes,
take a long train ride,
who needs to be ruled,
now you've chimed.

You're never a girl,
that curses and blasts,
your mind in a whirl,
face like a stone,
how you look your best,
too late to go home,
won't wear silken furls,
these men who want sex,
impassive as pearls,
they stalk you like ghosts,
prone to collapse,
can't face to be alone,
your hair doesn't curl
at what they ask,
their begging for a third,
you fling them a toast,
let them drink aghast,
forget what they like most,
say you cook with gas.

You can leave or show,
it's not too late,
if you want another home,
no need face the ruins,
worry about unkind fate,
you're no one's fool,
maybe a rolling stone,
kicks open a broken gate,
luck is when it rolls,
they'll arrive soon,
our family of escapes,
will mock all about you,
ask who you've cloned,
laugh at their stupid games,
what's your credit score,
don't mind their looks,
you're good for a loan,
refuse their Christian books,
play too cool to roam,
nothing else to state,
no knife at your throat,
love has a rebate.

Gone is the time,
i covered for you,
your Ma's the real crime,
why make it easy,
when she wants to intuit,
nothing will please,
clothes cashmere wine,
she spreads her false truth,
each step of the envy,
I don't do breezy,
why disguise the news,
she hates how I speak,
what you put aside,
she uses like a tool,
says it sharpens her mind,
shakes golden car keys,
uses you like her mule,
each day of your Odyssey,
I won't wait in line,
to witness her Blues,
I treated you fine,
who is the fool ?

Zena
What you can't find,
then think again,
we are not entwined,
don't go home,
there's too much pain,
keep what you own,
when you hear of crime,
stand in the rain,
say everything's fine,
drenched to the bone,
you're no angel,
know the value of chromes,
why try to disguise,
each day a fresh claim,
you show roll those dice,
can you trust the 'phones,
they'll perish your mind,
love's the real groan,
it just takes a Dime,
to book a fast train,
dance to a different time,
take no more blame.

Yaretzi
Paraded all the while,
when you hit the trail,
you wave that last mile,
in your bones,
you don't need to say,
it's hard being alone,
you left me here to cry,
searching for that holy grail,
walking away all the time,
you can't atone,
when love forever fails,
making this country your own,
flip a coin see the sky,
will you risk the jail,
border crossings have no style,
drink wine from a jeraboam,
curse some desolate mail,
throw stones at my ghost,
what it means to try,
or even to create,
you don't have to lie,
its me who looks away.

Xaria
He looks and barely treads,
his smile warm as toast,
when the oil is spread,
for all he's ever seen,
and also what he's shown,
there's no sense of ease,
his daily bread,
gathered all alone,
doesn't make him bend,
he's in love with scenes,
his canvas resin soaked,
always on his feet,
uses my lipstick instead,
not caring for loans,
he lights up my bed,
always loves the sea,
skipping waves make him joke,
he's an old has been,
his visions are dreams,
strikes a match for tone,
does he picture me,
my face unknown?

Wrenley
We drink for company,
God knows why,
just let us be,
stuck in this place,
you stay out of sight,
howl a tired refrain,
we don't sleep easy ,
fear grips our nights,
worry shapes our destiny,
dreams quicken on my face,
makes the Tv screen bright,
fulfills your lack of grace
who can look with piety,
our ship in the sky,
nothing stands scrutiny,
we're so sad and displaced,
in the cool morning light,
everything dissipates,
you can see the sea,
I shout from on high,
he's as bad as me,
asks how birds fly?

Sometimes you can't fool,
in the gentle rain,
those who read the news,
scrubbed by desire,
you hear them say,
home is alway for hire,
want to hear my feud,
it gets me every way,
they're never troubled by truth,
cool cats on the hire,
it's hard to ascertain,
who's the biggest liar,
they boil you in a stew,
wave flags all over the place,
please all the watching crew,
you don't need to ask why,
they live without stain,
theirs is always a blue sky,
will they consecrate you,
make you move country again,
know what is to lose,
when you walk away.
Vannessa
Sometimes you can't fool,
in the gentle rain,
those who read the news,
scrubbed by fire,
you hear yourself say,
truth is alway a wire,
want to hear my feud,
he gets me every way,
never troubled by the Blues,
a cool cat for hire,
it's hard to ascertain,
who's the biggest liar,
you boil me in a stew,
whenever you race,
to please all the crew,
why you don't ask why,
can't live without stain,
forget that patch of sky,
it will never sate you,
make you move earth again,
know what is to lose,
when I walk away. .

Unity
I sit stony at the bar,
watch the morning rise,
think of going nowhere,
sunshine's just for fools,
home is just as hard,
why disquise this news,
you can keep the stars,
don't wan't to see his smile.
before he left my Ma,
the people he fooled,
in drink and jaded nights,
playing American Pool,
I can feel you Da,
everything's revealed in time,
empty hearts don't travel far,
now you've ballooned,
i'll forget the hurt inside,
you're not fit to rule,
love holds the door ajar,
maybe take another wine,
it might hide the scar,
play The River's Wide.

Stella
Sometimes you can play,
can lie but I won't,
loading dice like a game,
now that's all right,
if you want to love alone,
me I only live life,
maybe it brings pain,
to my winter bones,
but whatever comes this way,
like the summer light,
turns me on,
no where a gentle sigh,
come the day,
you'll hear my sounds,
listen to that screech again,
especially out of sight,
the same in every war,
when peace is nigh,
who can ever say,
you will stay or fall,
know I am the hurricane,
let others carry on.

Trinity
Love blows warm at night,
howls in ancient places,
waits for the coming light,
when promises are broken,
spirits fan a lonely flame,
they sit on older stones,
it will be all right.
what is there to say,
just give it time,
beyond this war zone,
comes a sacramentsal lane,
a place we best know,
laughter in dark times,
no one here's to blame,
part of me is dying,
do what we must alone,
no one carries shame,
rivers rise on the flow,
please don't turn silent,
hope rides with us again,
returns with the morning tide,
listen to its song play.

Reyna
I can't leave you alone,
it's a signal disgrace,
the way I choose bums,
Oh do it if you must,
let's get out of this place,
tired of gathering dust,
there's enough of me gone,
to leave a nasty taste,
pray that you'll phone,
here's another loss,
for someone without a case,
unaware of what he's got,
Ok you gave me the loans,
I'm a woman who shakes,
makes this stuff her own,
won't hide that I'm boss,
it's not something fake,
you don't know the cost,
why end on a Blue note,
life's not a stepping stone,
you could have had the lot,
is it me you love ?

Quitterie
Coming by train at night,
i beg they won't need us,
no more of shining bright,
we are woman of staples,
rock gentle and easy,
say everything will be OK,
it's a perfect delight,
for each part of deliverance,
our eyes have a kindness,
fresh linen red wine fables,
the souls of Sisyphus,
wallets are placed on tables,
we can talk of writers
from Baeudelaire to Aschylus,
kiss them quietly,
by yellow walls or gables,
shiniing in the Catacombs,
we console the poor unable,
our arms gentle serene.

Pippa
I don't want to know,
if you really believe,
I'll sink like stone,
won't hear while you say,
you'll exist without me,
the house is yours anyway,
when you're all alone,
will you think of the sea,
where no one hears you groan,
or listen to you pray,
as you pour out your soul,
crying down the highway,
when I'm really gone,
leave a taste bittersweet,
a pain in your wallet,
you interrogate my case,
am floating on the breeze,
who are you to state,
I'm only skin and bone,
go on then feel free,
its time I got going,
so much for your creed.

Oakley
How my voice is raised,
I have no need of you,
curse the way uou stray,
i hate to be alone,
locked in my own curfew,
by someone i hardly knew,
you are some angel,
with your sculptured news,
seeking to calm my rage,
they pity me at home,
promenade ribbons strewn,
all you say you'll loan,
before you came,
nothing else seemed true,
Boy what you have created,
when you start to 'phone,
everything turns goo goo,
more than all I know,
now you've gone away,
I can't shake these Blues,
am shrunken day to day,
but i'm not finished Dude.

Nova
It's useless why hesitate,
the knife's to the bone,
always seems too late,
never safe to heed,
where I've been going,
no one makes me plead,
can't account for taste,
wave goodbye to tattered scenes,
they leave me cold,
whose turn now to scream,
try to open the gate,
a hinge with broken tones,
swinging like a shipping crate,
I want to believe,
when you're done,
then I'll succeed,
the moon slowly flakes,
it knows what I've seen,
wind dies in the slates,
fire is my breeze.

It's useless why hesitate,
the knife's to the bone,
always seems too late,
never safe to heed,
where I've been going,
no one makes me plead,
put aside the hate,
they say lay the ghosts,
can't account for taste,
wave goodbye to such scenes,
they leave me cold,
whose turn now to scream,
try to open the gate,
a hinge with creaky tones,
swing like a shipping crate,
I want to believe,
when you're finished doing,
then I'll succeed,
the moon slowly flakes,
it knows what I've seen,
wind dies in the slates,
fire is my breeze.

Marie
Someone drip my kisses,
forget how to gloam,
those who still miss us,
your search for a fee,
hangs like a broken bone,
the wind drives your schemes,
sometimes you might miss,
my reclining call,
a lost bitter promise,
so close is blue sea,
stand and face the claw,
the bold night freezes,
it makes you laugh guiltless,
each wave a coming storm,
a newly painted Ithmus,
please don't write to me,
dare come back or clone,
what is not to be,
why do you insist,
such kindred loss of score,
what is there to bless,
another cross worn?

Layla
No one makes me plead,
wave goodbye to dreams,
remnants that they leave ,
consider me gone,
perturbed nor relieved,
dancing on my bones,
December in warm seas,
the Ocean sets me free,
if you believe,
when you walked me home,
under lilac trees,
my eyes were aglow,
some days I bleed,
diminished by others greed,
ask me why such sleaze,
will never let him atone,
fed up of broken scenes,
no need to throw stones,
I'm of a certain creed,
a wandering happy soul,
don't ask me to perceive,
I'm best on my own.

My ma stamps the tar,
she crumbles,
when Da buys the car,
no pine needles or hay,
he sings for a lover,
home or away,
screams he's crossed the arc,
makes light of ours trouble,
he's bad from the off,
dancing on red tables,
strewn with candles guttering,
constant embers of his craving,
he's ruined her heart,
I say get shut,
this is only the start,
his crisis not far away,
and love always hungers,
within sight of his gaze
I still see him now,
beaming like a juggler,
just have him barred,
his name is trouble.

Jessica
I won't leave you alone,
it's a disgrace,
to throw away my loans,
Oh do it if you must,
let's leave this place,
we're here gathering dust,
is it enough just gone,
to leave a nasty taste,
steer me away from home,
there's another trust,
you can make out a case,
put jelly on my bones,
I don't buy this honeycomb,
for a woman who shakes,
stands brave at the Court,
can't abide what I've lost,
it's not something fake,
my mouth tastes of wood,
sing me a Blue note,
I'm not a stepping stone,
know it's me you love,
if not for long.

Please don't identify,
make stars break the news,
between the moon and sky,
you could enjoy the view,
instead of being cruel,
when you're up this high,
don't say it's your right,
throw fireworks in the sewer,
give lightning drink a try,
could you race the tides,
without such fuel,
save anger for wedding nights,
put it out of sight,
rage at some other fool,
choke on pale candlelight,
you've split communities wide,
laughing at their feuds,
juggle love in your eyes,
smell my perfume,
I'll whisper a tune for you,
make you dance on wire,
this is what I do.

Helena
Wouldn't it be great,
to fall like fresh snow,
bathe in gentle rain,
tell me what's the news,
dreams of last night's show,
leave out homesick blues,
don't worry about gain,
at supper ask for bones,
we'll stumble how to pay,
forget how much we drew,
or the need to show,
what is paid in dues,
beleave us in our state,
spread mercy on the loans,
calibrate the remains,
we will never lose,
say we've been let go,
it's only what we do,
my ear rings hang ornate,
in rooms where flowers grow,
find some drink to chase,
looking like a ghost.

Gigi
My calling comes too late,
it's not easy to squeeze,
thoughts I need to say,
you recoil at my thunder,
waved away like a breeze,
lost in luck or numbers,
you'll find out one day,
when you'll want to keep,
all my plans degenerate,
its a life uncluttered,
my insides screech,
who needs this love,
I'm not cut out this way,
to beat a cowards retreat,
will face each living day,
if it makes you wonder,
stones, graves, wreaths,
its me who's talking remember,
memories are all we make,
I'm not so easy to please,
my perfume fires your trace,
it hides a conceit.
Tuesday 6 June 2023
Flora
I'm not first in line,
to think your're a fool,
pass me that wine,
you shake your car keys,
like someone stupid,
pretend you're an Odyssey,
that stretch inside,
you thought so crude,
hasn't sharpened your mind,
say you don't do easy,
why disguise the truth ,
you won't shoot the breeze,
wear your latest designs,
if you feel like a Dude,
another turn of the dice,
now you look to me,
submerged in deep doo doo,
as if no one else sees,
gone is the time,
i'll act like a mule,
your life'e the real crime,
so out of tune.
Monday 5 June 2023
Eileen
When I say 'screw you',
to make my troubles light,
there's plenty more to do,
all of us die intestate,
however much we lie,
throwing venom at our mates,
come to think it through,
your eyes betray terrible signs,
a frightened fear of truth,
fire burns in the grate,
don't tell me how to cry,
anchors weigh your sea case,
no one is immune,
only life makes us wise,
I'm no longer duped,
wouldn't it be great,
to feel a love inside,
instead of all this rage,
your ship's beyond the dunes,
waiting on the tide,
better get moving,
I'm done with trying.
Sunday 4 June 2023
Diana
It doesn't take long,
to look down the road,
know where you're going,
try to act kind,
a smile on your load,
they'll call you each time,
try to keep strong,
your soul is a window,
the eyes have their song,
you'll travel the miles,
far away from home,
let your face come alive,
you're not that far gone,
to hear the cock crow,
how you've been wronged,
if the sun doesn't shine,
when riding the blow,
nothing stops your fire,
not to be around,
they'll say what is owed,
laugh from the ground,
life's only a loan.

Chloé
You don't get much view.
from these streets,
on this avenue,
say you arranged the loans,
introduced me to dancing queens,
put jelly on my bones,
tell me something new,
about these scenes,
like the money you blew,
far away from home,
drinking Bacardi Breezrs,
you couldn't make toast,
haven't got a clue,
locked in those great dreams,
you thought everyone knew,
wonder where you'll go,
who you'll get to believe,
moving easy the flow,
my dress is golden blue,
i can't see the trees,
am shrunken by your dues,
guess i'll always be.

Bianca
Now you've left home,
they say it's your time,
but where has it gone,
you used to believe,
everything's fine,
better when you leave,
tears lachrymose,
are now not so kind,
far down the road,
jokes once your repartee,
as a way to unwind,
float cold on the street,
wake to see what's done,
achieve peace of mind,
carry the pretty stones,
rain starts to ease,
there's light in the sky,
it brightens the sea,
fix a drink with Coke,
sharper than wine,
put on your coat,
not yet gone Nine.

Avery
Live or die far or near,
wine isn't cheap,
but it takes away fear,
before any whispered sigh,
or hugs from a grenadier,
brings me to this night,
no drama of lonely piers,
dances my wounds to sleep,
on boards of inner tears,
regular as plain sight,
darkness makes me creep,
closer to my birth right,
what remains is clear,
I've fallen in too deep,
to remember previous years,
loving makes me come alive
breathes beside me on the heap,
is this him I ask why
what is bought so dear,
when the moon seeps,
is a story everyone hears
and someone weeps.
