Daphne
Signs we fly away from,
some place before sunset,
submerged flowers gone,
our associate’s due,
bringing his astonishing jet,
hear whispered thank yous,
fire and distant thunder,
greet our target,
the unfettered amongst us,
beyond this daily cruise,
our days get frit,
fighting over what to do,
wash ourselves and wonder,
no matter what the bet,
somone always goes under,
how the world snoozes,
untangling our little knot,
night cools a morning slew,
we know who's split asunder,
in our lives of yet,
we think of the bonds,
paying off the debt.

A cold wind blows,
it stokes my fear,
who remains at home,
snow doves arch above,
the sky is needle clear,
so far away from love,
give money for his clothes,
everything’s so dear,
there are no bad notes,
ski with those who live,
laughing ups the gear,
choose who always will,
my vision's very slow,
whenever it's unclear
know we are never alone,
thrown across the slips,
worry who comes near,
those you'll never hit,
wear long coats to show,
winter's only once a year,
try to reach our saoul,
shiny frozen tears.

Bailey
Your smile lets you prance,
no fear of being sought,
by smart tongued chit chat,
let all the bean counters,
show you the course,
you look good turn around,
live what is chanced,
sing yourself hoarse,
accept praise of your balance,
discard those who rant,
if they make you taut,
forget all the glib answers,
hold your nerve and ask,
why they're so fraught,
sip whisky from a flask,
regret missed chances,
work out the score,
bury failure in the ground,
you'll always dance,
unlike many caught,
won't look askance,
at those who are frozen.

God knows if they're right,
that he will try anything,
sunlight, water, sky,
like the tide off Burbo Bank,
his smile is estuary wide,
begins where I'm back,
he never leaves my side,
but sits here and sings,
like someone on fire,
his lungs are like tanks,
he bellows take everything,
could prise open a bank,
next to him i slide,
his lips twist sugary,
sweetened by constant lies,
tobacco blonde eyes cranked,
a dancer whose fame decides,
to walk tall and swank,
I dance in the tide,
my day is just beginning,
no obe sees me sigh,
fresh, alive, giving.

Zuri
Times that brought her,
yellow nights of feasting,
she dreams of summer,
let others condone,
that passing disease,
leaving of a broken home,
more than any daughter,
she'll do what's needed,
forging her own laughter,
like a polished stone,
she stands by the sea,
understands hurricane zones,
love seeps on the air,
it reaches her knees,
she breasts the water,
for matters gone,
she knows what to believes,
welcomes the dawn,
nourished by prayer,
she cries when released,
someone to care,
it isn't that easy.

Yolanda
She laughs and hums a tune,
says it’s stupid to lie,
it’s just what we do,
we stroll around the garden,
she gives another sigh,
grandkids are late home,
it's like a whispered ooh,
she stumbles in plain sight,
drink fills the afternoon,
what makes the same hollow,
a broken cry,
she thinks of those below,
says don’t ask for truth,
it's like the night,
someone's always ruined,
she’s not one for show,
not since 1965,
says they rolled that blow,
gently sipping Vermouth,
voices come from on high
men tell all they knew,
she really did fly.

Brilliant stones,
whisper your name,
shining waters groan,
in trouble you heed,
find solace each day,
soon you'll feel,
you are never alone,
dance all their games,
beat out the moans,
protect every sea,
don't let panic reign,
fishermen tend creels,
Calcium is for bones,
rely upon staying sane,
no one really atones,
birds who drop seed,
sing only for fame,
before a flower bleeds,
sing a fiery contralto,
weave amongst flames,
give everything you own,
follow him this way.

Willa
Time jingles and sings,
my insides screech,
I need another drink,
between home and missing you,
help me to frame,
what I need to do,
your smile shrinks,
lemon blue by the sea,
makes me stop and think,
why kill the truth,
ditch my own conceit,
a conscience keep in ruin,
in another blink,
so eager to squeeze, memories,
thought you were a king,
they echo my blues,
why make a coward's retreat,
no dreams to rue,
wait here's a chink,
my stars scattered easy,
fly away before i sink,
you won't sleep easy.

Verity
Make offers out of pity,
nothing by eternal grace,
absolves my swollen feet,
betrayed in my moans,
I wander about this place,
thumpong heart against bone,
there is no churning story,
blown in on the rain,
for me to do solitary,
alone at some grotto,
I still see his face,
why ask me to atone,
slay all my mystery,
given holy days,
what price is offertory,
my sad jokes tell me,
fools play useless games,
he's still here beside me,
I don't plan to deceive,
use ribbons as a piety,
who would believe,
I asked him to stay ?

Una
My good parts,
I can firmly state,
belong with the Arc,
I look at the moon,
a spring tide today,
everything comes too soon,
my eyes dart,
wouldn't it be great,
to make a new start,
live somewhere cool,
my tickets ready but wait,
can't take more bad news,
a psychiatrist a star,
says emotion's only a name,
I'll sell my car,
will take the other route,
smile before I hesitate,
a kiss before curfew,
no one tears me apart,
tides bear me away,
I'm too smart,
to wait for days.

Timmy
Why live in a haze,
fight battles with the wind,
mends cuts with cellophane,
best not to moan,
burn to fit in,
life is only a loan,
when you buck the grain,
scour the earth's rim ,
find a perfect bargain,
wear your worn-out clothes,
don't pick up the Gin,
you're not on your bones,
make a step change,
think what you'll win,
find love instead of trade,
if someone groans,
says they're not trim,
get out of that zone,
unbroken by chains,
let your dreams skim,
uncertain days,
fly as a legend.

Sasha
Do you call consistent,
remain being single,
swallows all resistance,
searching for the breeze,
sometimes the tingle,
across a dark estuary,
can you hear the listless,
parade their jingles,
stuff you'd never miss,
a quotation of pieces,
bourne up to to jangle,
far over the sea,
standing here faceless,
wide eyed on the shingle,
make a wind-lashed promise,
you'll remain easy,
outside of this ring,
retain all your sweetness,
turn a moonlit vigil,
to some lovely thing,
beyond tides and criminals,
here in your kiss.

Ronnie
Drunk enough to ask why,
accept you've been chosen,
before anyone can deny,
don't fall for other's crazes,
what they try to provoke,
avoid stupid phrases,
sing instead of favourite tines,
love goes by unspoken,
accept heaven's angel cry,
outside of all the praises,
neither shrink away nor soak,
celebrate wonderful days,
be at the grave in line,
verify love's cloaking,
let clouds sail the sky,
the settlement of your face,
quietens even colder bones,
shoulder then his traces,
a flower at your side,
softer than a wonderful man,
more than any pride,
just some little token.

Quartney
Don't fall for anyone's Blues,
singing on the wire,
you are more than dues,
life isn't a stone,
thrown into the fire.
why should you atone,
whoever brings you news,
ask who’s for hire,
search your own truth,
a philosopher to your bones,
don't poison your desires,
find your happy home,
read every book,
everything that's required,
see nothing's overlooked,
your little choice of ruin,
is there on the side,
accept lovers their looks,
present each piece of you,
if anyone inquires,
it's what makes you cool,
how you inspire.

Patricia
Throw away my kitchen gloves,
take your time,
you're no longer in love,
remember which tune,
trips on broken spikes,
it still rings true,
heaven's a cover,
when you reach a time,
sings within your blood,
I'll hum it for you,
make the cockrell cry,
hear the wind go boom,
stay with those who scrub,
try to live generous lives,
who never get the rub,
like I will never rue,
the miseries of your crime,
whatever happens to you,
listen to what's above,
drink a drop of wine,
fly like a released dove,
pray for reasons why >

Ollie
In a room that speaks,
listening to the rain,
she pulls away from sleep,
this is not my tune,
she says,
the piano is too crude,
notes are stuck in between,
a she moon hesitates,
it knows where she's been,
Paris and sunlit avenues,
memories of Spain,
free of all interludes,
wrapped in a cotton sheet,
she selects black lace,
covers long legs and knees,
outside sits a Magnolia tree,
her bed's like a cradle,
she ignores how it creaks,
sometimes in the season,
she regards a life shaken,
sits still hears the sea,
love marks her day.

Natalia
We live or die in here,
the first one offers wine,
others circle near,
bereft of dreams lonely stars,
our debts are high,
the journey’s never are,
moon bright clifftops shear,
lit by hidden lights,
who can hide their fear,
someone makes a mark,
another wonders why,
it beats in unhappy hearts,
ice as bright as tears,
chill our ghostly ride,
danger is forever near,
forget their shining cars,
they don’t see us cry,
before we approach the Arc,
we will cost them dear,
deprived us of our rights,
cool, considered, clear,
we aim our fire.

Maggie
Dont forget you're better,
than those you kiss,
they can only stick together,
they come here for booze,
look like they're clipped,
some are unhooked,
strain to see my breasts,
everything they miss,
feel they aren't blessed,
no time for Monday’s Blues,
when they see my hips,
study this thing called truth,
forget ny easy duress,
I'm as tough as shit,
play music only by request,
look at all of you,
does your heartbeat skip,
if you take me for a fool,
would it make you better,
if I turned and stripped,
steamed up your kettle,
let the ropes go kid ?

Lily
What do you care,
if worries stretch my face,
you’d think it fair,
the tunes in blue trees,
say you need space,
spun on the breeze,
you still won't share,
time that we framed,
place who put me there,
chained to inequity,
hostile as your gaze,
it's a hymn to serendipity,
I know what's in the air,
how your voice raises,
when you're scared,
down harried streets,
trying to dodge fate,
acting sugar sweet,
you're not worth my glare,
think you're so great,
not even aware,
how I pass the days?

Kara
Your face an empty zone,
very far from ecstasy,
tells all I need to know,
far away in real time,
the daily conspiracy,
my life stutters the line,
your mouth's a cruel loan,
my words have worked free,
keeps me on my toes,
most days I drink wine,
it's there to ease,
you and other lousy swine,
every lie a fine toothcomb,
dancings bears around honey,
smiles like stone roses,
our house besides the sea,
bottom of a sand road,
begets some other fantasy,
your body lists and groans,
murder dares me to be,
an angel coming home,
I can watch on TV.

Joanie
What dreams do we keep,
they ask us the ghosts,
sat on bar stools seats,
leave us alone we say,
our skin might need soap,
but we're here to stay,
we are not upbeat,
if they splay out the rope,
what will be will be,
do what we do anyway,
face as strong as stones,
throw all our cares today,
music from the deep,
carries tiny rays of hope,
deep within our state,
don't ask us to play,
tunes we do not know,
life is a great big cake,
we all need our sleep,
stuff we use to cope,
if you could only see,
the way we rattle home.

Irene
Who can't dream of empathy,
sitting on a wall,
listening to the sea,
you catch my eyes awake,
dancing on thorns,
why treat me like a fake,
each day of uncertainty,
brings protest to my calls,
absence of how to feel,
I'd like to stake,
a fear of being torn,
is the cause of heartache,
someone asks me,
a penny for your thoughts,
I say infidelity,
doubts fog my days,
sometimes wonder if I'm born,
fear manifests craze,
waves crash on the lee,
glad what i've been taught
this is really me,
watching enthralled.

Hallie
Youre a fool at dawn,
to say something like that,
your eyes like frogspawn,
I want to be at sea,
on a wooden raft,
leave me time to dream,
summon ancient charm,
from our little chats,
you're not even warm,
need to speak clearly,
roar like a big cat,
this is how I'm feeling,
does it make you torn,
your love on the flat,
I still have some form,
ride rails dance and weep,
adjust my Ray-Bans,
drain nights before I sleep,
gallop through the dawn,
don't have to wear a hat,
act like I'm never born,
make life a gas?

Gina
On a white garden seat,
I carry a load,
it takes time to defeat,
secrets like sea weed,
ravaged lipstick Eau De Cologne,
wrap around my feet,
when lovers trick or treat,
perfume gets soaked,
we drink whiskey neat,
living by a swollen creek,
my prayers take hold,
my granny picks at sleeves,
rifle's next to the sheets,
she's no rolling stone,
wants to protect me,
cure my unease,
isolate me at home
bathed in love or yeast,
there are still more beats,
I measure in the gloam,
tell him how I feel,
no public telephones.

Frankie
You know what it means,
to live alone,
thoughts harden into dreams,
I'm cool but burn with rage,
even to atone,
makes you turn away,
this isn't my scene,
journey's not my own,
long past where I've been,
maybe useless to fake,
life as a trombone,
one note always too late,
it's never safe to heed,
what i've done,
but no one makes me plead,
wave goodbye to fame,
drop it like a stone,
no one stops my flame,
I'll mine a new seam,
can still hear your moans,
withstand any heat,
mend my broken bowl.

Evelyn
Please don't act all fine,
playing out your games,
somewhere you’ll do time,
maybe sing the blues,
on a hard bedframe,
it's all left to you,
what don't turn out right,
is never far from pain,
sleeping bad drinking wine,
strum your cretin’s tune,
I’m coming home you say,
call that good news,
naked to your crimes,
light dances on the plain,
lost in your own designs,
howling out what's true,
on some dismal train,
tears blur your bitter fruit,
when you talk travel lines,
slumbering in the rain,
remember me to your lies,
baby think again.

Destiny
Sweet talk makes me curl,
say enough now Basta,
am never just your girl,
silken wraps you've thrown,
stories that collapse,
face moulded like a stone,
plates occasionally hurled,
nothing holds you fast,
drives your work not care,
life is just a loan,
if you think that crass,
worry on your own,
you're not perturbed,
if my time has gassed,
keep the flag furled,
I'll dance on brown chairs,
make everyone laugh,
raise my eyes to the air,
Daddy stay there or burn,
put love on the gas,
let the flame whirr,
I'm not the past.

Charlotte
Nothing left to negotiate,
fortify your boots,
make good other escapes,
they're only clowns,
who bring you news,
say you're on your own,
reason comes too late,
to heal their broken looks,
every legend needs to wait,
you're not a rolling stone,
want to know the truth,
don’t worry about the phone,
if you make such waves,
it shouldn't bother you,
will always have your say,
separate the clones,
leave this bluest bayou,
you’re not coming home,
when Oceans roll and sway,
welcome them with food,
step closer to the flame,
plenty more in you.

Bethany
Seeks explosive release,
in what she cannot find,
nothing seems to please,
she won't hear good news,
love is just a grind,
a cover-up for truth,
with ahint of blasphemy,
she doesn't do sublime,
why givw them a treat,
triea to hide the Blues,
any nourish to make wise,
asks who's there for you,
shakes impatiently car keys,
December's out of mind,
work’s no Odyssey,
chained to bitter tunes,
haunting family crimes,
she'd stoke another feud,
forget any sense of ease,
of justice place or time,
the path to any freedom,
another clock to wind.

Amelia
Tell me, tell me why,
I'm like a burden shared,
my lips dissolve their cries,
who says run stay clear,
remember fogotten hurt,
avoid such vale of tears,
am such a beautiful sight,
had better take care,
bells ring out at night,
my life contains relief,
in a shiny chiffon skirt,
puts strong men to sleep,
I walk a woman going by,
through a city bared,
each ones searches my eyes,
throw flowers at my feet,
roses for my hair,
I am asked to entreat,
scatter perfume on the air,
to sing my song here,
in darkness by green turns,
how I sparkle first.
