Hannah
When I was losing cred,
you told me to be strong,
I won't see you again,
you sent me poems,
dancing lines of song,
who else does rise alone,
freedom's sense of dread,
whispers other wrongs,
sit for days in bed,
having someone to know,
greater than bells rung,
laughing lovers in tow,
can't pray for the rest,
drawing fire with tongs,
my manner's not the best,
not likely to suppose,
why our paths have crossed,
make my lipstick glow,
grant me this loss.

Gerrie
I'm sat here aghast,
shuddering at what's bought,
thinking this cannot last,
my partner asks,
a penny for your thoughts,
how to broach this task,
love to see him dance,
jigging about on thorns,
a modern day iconoclast,
Oh it's useless this cast,
i'd rather be caught,
on the next downward path,
other lovers spring the trap,
me struggling to be born,
sweating with each fast,
I dream of a better class,
silken not torn,
he'll come around again,
broken unsought.

Farah
Oh to be free,
says my lover on high,
between you and the sea,
no fire or blue ozone,
tweaks sun's early rise,
can hamper his tone,
his cigarette sweeps,
like a bird on the line,
all that lays before me,
he thinks we're as one,
the cabin's early light,
is kind but cold,
such hopes of eternity,
are not very wise,
garnerin hopes of epiphany,
can't you be done,
I want to cry,
dawn flights are so long,
leave traces of night.
Saturday 22 June 2024
Emily
We stand with her ashes,
laid bare at the ferry,
a rain cut sky in slashes,
she adds a final note,
banishes worries we carry,
said life is but a joke,
thanks God for her cash,
what's not to find lovely,
bequeathed golden tracks,
more than any other bloke,
walking in glum reverie,
laughed the way we spoke,
In all manner of fashion,
love has its own tributaries,
contained in tweed jackets,
Orange kids wait and smoke,
proud at the dawn jetty,
cheeks pale as they blow,
her elegant epiphany.
Friday 21 June 2024
Della
How you contemplate gain,
acting like some seer,
blowing like a hurricane,
so far gone,
asking rivers to part here,
honour your holy bones,
tell animals leave the plain,
kneel weeping at our fear,
you are just a fake,
last winter on tidal stones,
everyone sat close to tears,
waiting for visions to show,
souls don't work that way,
a trapeze of fallen years,
eyes try to fnd a space,
we won't hesitate,
denounce your passage near,
all the madness you create,
suddenly is clear.

Cassidy
It's a sin to wish you gone,
only children dance,
in years so far from home,
Callas warms the terrace bar,
Campari, Raybans, chance,
each admire your shining car,
ask for grace beyond our bones,
ship you back to France,
regrets yet barely done,
my senses ache from afar,
sellophane shimmers in your distance,
cannot name your star,
leave messages on your phone,
you with electric prance,
evening tints your clothes,
what makes you call again,
feel awkward at your glance,
burning ahes light a flame,
fury in my balance.
Wednesday 19 June 2024
Brooklyn
I wake to a lemon light,
it's hard to be alone,
my lover lies supine,
everything now is all right,
sun rises through the dawn,
sometimes people cry,
poets make verses by night,
write in shabby clothes,
take tea or whiskey by fire,
my heroes look to Constantine,
salt whirls a global tone,
Swifts dive in yellow skies,
his smile's a lovely flight,
his dancing shakes my bones,
wine consumes the loins,
I don't want to dramatise,
but apart from getting brown,
not much else excites,
morning covers my disguise,
Oh I know I know,
daytime brings new sights,
hot days tidal shores.
Tuesday 18 June 2024
Abi
An unruly little family,
father's left on trains,
others for the sea,
was is it wish or dare,
that life should remain,
alive for us to share,
mayve those lines too neat,
does time get in the way,
songs of an empty street,
beyond the frosted glare,
happy eyes in winter hail,
snow dancing off our hair,
wrapped up in Teralyne,
our Ma never changes,
laugh she used to say,
a bed or bunk frezes,
when no love's in play,
whistle up childhood dreams,
we miss them just the same.

Zara
Who can resist,
or diminish the claim,
often given in a fist,
hidden by mount Fraternity,
there's a terrible waste,
murder bellows at our feet,
beware those who seek bliss,
you turn to me and say,
who can we ever trust,
the valleys tick with heat,
it grants us little space,
the sky is all seeing,
hear the serpent's hiss,
you say again,
truth will absolve us,
everything we try to reach,
trouble still reigns,
failure drips on our streets,
uncertain questions resist,
just being tossed away,
everyone seeks justice,
temper bitter flame.
Sunday 16 June 2024
Yachi
Your ice cold fish knife,
is no child's game,
held towards my eyes,
chasing glory this end,
the woman you wish to shame,
inside a circle of friends,
a chaste siren of strife,
outside of fire's blame,
who cannot be a wife,
heathens demand you bend,
they love you at Canaan,
Africa is your stipend,
who can diminish your sight,
you cross into fame,
sometimes in wayward flight,
nothing's beyond your ken,
your movement ablaze,
glory where you can spin,
silk to bright names.
Saturday 15 June 2024
Xena
Will you not listen,
don't live by taking,
gold is only glisten,
understand obfuscate,
kindness above probate,
try,cry, strive, create,
enjoy bliss at Christmas,
pray for energy every day,
even if questions persist,
actions more appropriate,
come from others every way,
who are we to fulminate,
we know cruel prison,
it can't rule our fate,
ghettoes we escape from,
in a fiery blue oblate,
reason is never too late,
dance at kissing gates,
celebrate our horizons.
Friday 14 June 2024
Valerie
You know how to trace,
a lifetime of greed,
where love disintegrates,
sometimes I wonder,
if it's in your creed,
to gift or bury lovers,
the doubts you fake,
driven by surly need,
are they parts of fame,
blue conscripted slumbers,
bearing kindness to the sea,
slaying dreams of futures,
tremble so you say,
in unquiet days soliloquy,
only given by taking,
a high heeled loner,
lipsticked songs make happy,
love split asunder,
on altars of celebrity.
Thursday 13 June 2024
Ulyssa
Sister what was that time,
when I sought you on trains,
sweated in different climes,
did you catch me running,
legs like pipes in rain,
did you look and mock,
the great ports of Byzantine,
say God is not afraid,
if there is love inside,
see my tears help me stop,
we all pray the same,
don't turn away and lock,
your gaze away from mine,
invite me into your game,
say everything's fine,
chains bind me here on rocks,
freighters ply their ancient lanes,
above me the sun mocks,
please give me your name.
Wednesday 12 June 2024
Tai
You'd gamble everything,
your sisters say,
even if it makes you scream,
within your bones,
don't you ever retain,
the grace to atone,
committments you sling,
fight lovers in the rain,
always one for happenings,
going out or coming home,
can't see it any other way,
smoking in your cafe' clothes,
maybe you laugh or sing,
dance in sunlight never strain,
feel any need for Bling,
isn't there a slope,
you might slide down again,
dishing all your hopes,
you might feel the sting,
us your siblings display,
confused by mother's harping,
shouting who's to blame ?
Tuesday 11 June 2024
Sarah
Deep set eyes this June,
her work sets her free,
even if she loves too soon,
what separates wooden nails,
stretched canvas lets her see,
painting is her game,
working by the raging moon,
she smells the mound of Liberty,
lifts her when she swoons.
can still feel the pain,
in yellow nights of dreams,
even if she looks the same,
a brace of scurried goons,
spill the bottle's seams,
men like portraits tuned,
gone from that terrain,
doubtful of their schemes,
pencils in another frame,
splits another masterpiece.

Ryleigh
Our day is just beginning,
I dance arms out wide,
river is full and brimming,
he kills me with his eyes,
tanned body by my side,
twists his twisted smile,
a cigarette dripping,
drops blue water on the tide,
his arms stippling,
I won’t say I’ll survive,
his likes cross any line,
cargo ships pass us by,
he isn’t made for giving,
never understands a mother’s why,
sin is just his trimming,
I could ask for many things,
Medea might use a knife,
he won't demand anything,
smiles and praises time.

It only seems right
to dance by the sea,
where everything's bright,
you woulsn't let him treat,
the love he agreed,
as big as a cargo fleet,
learn to give him rights,
make a space physically,
now he's home at night,
measure out your deeds
don't let him greet,
the limits of his needs,
loving in a lilac light,
beneath poplar trees,
he won;t want to fly,
song floods the valley,
it makes you dream,
everythin's within reach,
when we think happy.

He's happy can't you see,
he didn't want to be alone,
did not have the energy,
you didn't treat him right,
skimmed him like a stone,
wanted to shape his nights,
you have to let him be,
how he dances home,
now he's seen the sea,
a mirror to your plight,
you are the last to know,
anchored to that sight,
protected by an innocent shield,
he'd never deliberately throw,
sand on all your dreams,
song rings down the valley,
it makes your blood flow,
love we couldn't reach,
now he steals the show.

More than a swollen eye,
love holds the door ajar,
hell is on the fly,
inflated or in despair,
she can cry if she wants,
to ever begin again,
if the same happens time,
home is not so far,
compared with this sty,
made for someone's care,
her life is just a hoopla,
given another turn,
who needs this fight,
carrying misery to share,
a picture of disquise,
sees the harvest burn,
the highway spitting tar,
can't get beyond her stare,
framed by water asks why,
she's gone this far,
forgets the war inside,
swears it is her Da ?

Before you came for me,
begging for the light,
you left across the sea,
the sun made you burn ,
love you thought was right,
asked the ship to turn,
formed by mighty deeds,
whispered sails at night,
you want such terms agreed,
parchment sparkles in the urn,
a power beyond my sight,
three days you let me learn,
literacy for all to see,
cushioned beneath your thighs,
never broken ill at ease,
you wailed out your care,
love me stay a while,
broken torta on your chair,
fury in your smile.

You ask which way to go,
it’s not the heat,
nothing beats your show,
that’s what others say,
their flowers stay sweet,
even after rain,
you are like a warm glow,
brown and sixty three,
soothes any wind blowing cold,
but you won’t sing today,
like early April's leaves,
nothing disturbs your sway,
just the yellow glue,
poverty turned to dreams,
eats into hot summer days,
don't let the doom crew,
try to make it seem,
you only play Blues,
you're much more real.

Our Cargo Party: Lilly
Our Cargo Party: Lilly: The passage holds a light, between drinkers and vagrants, my youngest suffers in silence, places like pig styes, behind the lip of alleys...

Lilly
The passage holds a light,
between drinkers and vagrants,
my youngest suffers in silence,
places like pig styes,
behind the lip of alleys,
where cruise ships lie,
I go forward with a sigh,
my mind an oasis contained,
far from the tourist cries,
their hands are tied,
what you'd expect anyway,
sun, sex,sea and sky,
still my daughter's dying,
is no one to blame,
I dream of islands,
wait for lamps to shine,
a chapel's sweet gaze,
loving darkness night,
bow to an ancient flame.

You who own the night,
on wind hushed dunes,
ever wonder why,
you keep a cheerful home,
beat away the blues,
always on the go,
forget bitter times,
all cruel untruths,
you at my side,
dream to fly alone,
never want to see you,
ask how you're doing,
air plashes by,
evening's getting cool,
wait all your life,
touch magic stones,
kid yourself on truth,
he'll come 'around,
whistle from on high,
laugh and hum a tune,
never tell a lie,
back to work soon.

The love that flows,
never goes to waste,
a roll in every note,
you have no need,
to circle each day,
want enough to flee,
in garments sewn,
by a drunken oblate,
it's always more than show,
strings, chords, seeds,
keep your hands engaged,
better constant release,
you’ve already grown,
ahead of the game,
smile sweetly as you go,
a house by the sea,
tides and skies aflame,
makes you happy,
brilliant gemstones,
whisper your name,
you sail at full blow,
Chief of passage.
Isadora
You smile easy,
know just what to say,
spirits dance released,
a high heeled slumber,
stones, lintels, paves,
makes you stroll in wonder,
is it a lover’s retreat,
that allows no fame,
buys a home by the sea,
this is your number,
where you can safely state,
life is unencumbered,
how your hair is bleached,
tunes bounce like waves,
run wild along the beach,
rolling in the thunder,
delay every embrace,
stay well out of trouble,
enjoy a certain conceit,
act full of grace,
splash your subtle feet,
rapture on your face.
