Ophelia
A worn-out empty feeling,
hot kitchen's footache,
something inside me creaking,
he brings me the news,
with a doctor’s face,
when you know the truth,
but here is the sea,
light sharp blue unfazed,
treasures this old Queen,
imagine finding someeone new,
dying to get away,
playing Delta Blues,
I'll saunter down the street,
work is good for saving,
blow it like a leaf,
am sat here in perdue,
it's looking like rain,
who neesd broken avenues,
I'll head to Spain.

Who can resist,
or diminish our flame,
even by a wayward kiss,
hidden by fields and scree,
rolls of sea waste,
gather at our feet,
befriend those who trip.
they'll find truth today,
you are not remiss,
the towns tick with heat,
sunlight divides space,
our look is all-seeing,
have them land in ships,
to take their load away ,
rage dissolves in song,
for everything we see,
we'll see again,
including all our envy,
we uncertain misfits,
lives in cradled sway,
fools seeking justice,
will hear us today.
Marieanne
I dream of his class,
silken not shorn,
listen to myself gasp,
struggling without scorn,
broken unsought,
it's a time that's torn,
landing in the traps,
dancing on thorns,
a modern-day iconoclast,
justice has been bought,
riding his storm,
a penny for your thoughts,
you can't say I lapse,
now that he's gone,
hidden under burlap,
I fed him his corn,
he broke the fast,
now he's without compass,
on the red mountain pass,
I'll have him caught,
love cannot crash,
with my bad form.

Lexi
Out by the long lights,
side by side in ruin,
we're cool as anthracite,
why take a train,
or sail on a schooner,
there are tables to play,
so far we're all right,
haven't much to lose,
act like young island ites,
it's fun weekends away,
we mix with the crew,
don't enquire about gain,
this slow silent night,
gives us a clue,
what cocktails can’t buy,
our horizon’s frayed,
sleep till the afternoon,
diamonds sparkle the game,
we want to be free,
we lay in marine blue,
just lend us more money,
show us the moon.

Kate
It's all behind you now,
sit stunned around a Pool,
a breeze makes you scowl,
on golden sand you dream,
all that rests within you,
scrubbed by the sea,
it's easy to be thrown,
what you've been through,
why not just turn brown,
trees swell golden leaves,
they carry all the news,
please let everyone be,
what you can't undo,
or make your tongue refuse,
bet you won't denude,
do you wax and seal,
offer pretty boys cashews,
put them on the wheel,
concoct some fantastic town,
where no one has issues,
where everyone is good,
no one makes you lose.

Jacqueline
A lover of religous songs
dallies with another name,
stands looking long,
regards things she's honed,
canvas from a former game,
doubts she's ever alone,
in many ways she's not,
lost within a frame,
the work is all her own,
yellow nights she loans,
what is given away,
sometimes brings her home,
painting lets her belong,
colours spun like nails,
matchsticks in a storm,
the toil of other thrones,
she honours in their reign,
her hand firm as stone,
music for another day.

India
Love holds the door ajar,
my heart is down the line,
never know who you are,
just sit around a Pool,
trees wave in blended time,
who needs more bad news,
I ask about my Da,
yes please another wine,
lonely as a shooting star,
everyone he fooled,
in a poor jaded time,
the hopeless the gullible,
new homes shining cars,
he didn't hear Ma cry,
a house of stolen parts,
including me and you,
forget the hurt inside,
he's a useless mule,
gathered around the bar,
we see the morning rise,
one of us goes too far,
fury in his eyes.

Hayley
A law book on my knees,
demand to see the child,
what lies in between,
even when you can show,
all fury at my smile,
it's for me to know,
can’t I have some ease,
you ignore all the signs,
believe your own belief,
tell me what's not true,
a power beyond my sight,
always claim the virtue,
wrapped in your entreats,
whispered prayers at night,
throw them back at me,
the terms that you issue,
allow no heaven's insight,
lawyers stick like glue,
you ask the judiciary,
award the precious mite,
a home across the sea,
my rage to fight?

Georgia
You say it’s time to leave,
don't really want to know,
why you can't just be,
say you want away,
to live or die alone,
play your own game,
our love is bittersweet,
no human need for home,
children, fire, dreams,
if silence is your sea,
to dance on moonlit stones,
doesn't make you pretty,
I'll sing along and pray,
the only song I own,
before you eat your cake,
can you hear me keen,
tied to an iron stove,
locked in like Euripides,
please don't provoke me,
I only weigh eight stone,
you will feel my fury,
are you that far gone?

Don't let the doom sound,
make out it seems,
you'll always be bound,
bad weather follows on,
a scarf to that breeze,
home always find a home,
use the wind as a friend,
follow your dreams,
whenever hold the ground,
you know how it's done,
laugh beside the sea,
welcome what's to come,
dark days of leaving town,
are now only history,
find a way working around,
when fields turn blond,
you'll note the need,
even if love's a marathon,
believe what you believe.

Emilia
The diagnosis half true,
you smell the Limes,
on a tree-lined avenue,
act like you don't know,
the tests are blind,
don't really go to show,
hope only for the few,
cradles weigh like stones,
you sit near the flue,
it's not like a crime,
fire warms your bones,
things you can make light,
each lonely moon,
when the kid's phone ,
try to say poof,
drink leads to night,
such a strange cacaphone,
to keep asking why,
where's there to go ?
Thursday, 20 March 2025
Demi
Fear hollows out my night,
makes me clasp ancient flame,
waits for lamps to shine,
when I'm most shot through,
you’ll hear me straight,
consider any change to do,
a dream of life outside,
moments given over to pray,
drink a little sweet wine,
there are no avenues,
I won’t sail again,
until we pay our dues,
laugh in a better clime,
no one else to blame,
part of me is dying,
don't need pointy shoes,
arrange for Chess to play,
to guide me back to you,
beyond a love held tight,
can you apply a tourniquet,
squeeze out all my fright,
take me home again.

Clarissa
Will you stay the same,
beneath the trees,
each time we celebrate,
shy to your toes,
we drink in the heat,
toasting our warm home,
then the morning drains,
it's not just our feet,
seeps through our frame,
believe me I'll go,
to dream of the sea,
if you won't help float,
dollars for the game,
fix us something to eat,
my prayer's not the same,
to see you like this,
when sun sinks uneven,
will show you the score,
bright springime me.

Bonney
It's been a while,
so there you see,
wait like a child,
when donkeys bray,
or someone sneezes,
I'll have my say,
no need to enquire,
where you've been,
seeking sundry smiles,
a star lights the way,
frozen in your sheen,
this is no fools day,
baby don't you mind,
just another scene,
my skin won't rind,
i'll stay a while,
tucked on a bar seat,
won't worry about time,
toast this open fire,
weather looks to freeze,
i'll try to be kind,
kill your disease.
Monday, 17 March 2025
Alice
You like heavy sugared tea,
my tears are lachrymose,
your jokes just bore me,
once they might have been,
I suppose,
am never one to scream,
wind blows from the east,
we'll ride out the blow,
replace it with certainty,
the moon and stars meet,
above the high tree zone,
you'd never believe,
what we're seeing,
the kds still at home,
who needs the sea,
they keep us reeling,
we just need to know,
when they will leave,
Dad's kost his peace,
I drink alone,
don't bother with coffee,
more our lost soul.
Sunday, 16 March 2025
Zizi
Suddenly kisses leave me,
shivering in the rain,
head beset by family,
your wailed news,
puts dread across my face,
more heartache i can use,
who knows what to believe,
what will Daddy say,
hurt or blessed relief,
who will pay the crew,
for these ruined estates,
do they know the truth,
a swollen handkerchief,
covers your escape,
fortune croses the country,
you can't see how cruel,
life before sunrise reigns,
even when you lose,
me on a beggars retreat,
sent packing on my way,
swallowed up by dreams,
gambled all away.
Saturday, 15 March 2025
Yola
You know what it means,
to live alone,
habits harden into screams,
so cool I burn with rage,
not just merely to atone,
given time to congugate,
pass journeys into dreams,
find explode on their own,
look at where I've been,
hold to make life great,
sound like a bugle horn,
semand things in my wake,
adjust saying don't heed,
all the things I’ve wrung,
remain perfectly at ease,
bask in new found fame,
he lifts me body and soul,
my turn now to say,
unwrap all my schemes,
can still hear him groan,
am your new queen,
pick up that stone.

Xarani
Is this really the place,
to ask the demons why,
my lover's down the drain,
a haze of loss so callow,
he beats out his time,
has nowhere else to go,
I soak my island gains,
choose to ignore his cry,
sip daquari's again,
what he needs to know,
does not disturb my sky,
how he finds the show,
when I jumped bail,
no walls left to climb
he wouldn't let me fail,
his gaze simply follows,
how he lost love's tie,
witness a gentle furrow,
no easy way to fake,
what hurts him deep inside,
such a pitch i make,
eyes open wide.
Thursday, 13 March 2025
Wynn
Don't say get a grip,
when I fail down again,
anyone can have a slip,
I need payers to pray,
smooth talk my playmate,
any quest to get away,
losers have surly lips,
am manacled to this game,
I take a coin and flip,
you'll see how I sway,
at 49 different raves,
credit on all my slates,
loans make your eyes dip,
into consumptive flames,
give me another nip,
won’t know how I flay,
unkept spirit's shame,
hope for an act of faith,
if I'll make this trip,
hear the wind scream,
lashed to a coffin ship,
it's my father's name ?
Wednesday, 12 March 2025
Vee
My eyes try to fix a place,
where we just carry on,
and no one feels unsafe,
who cares about the bones,
arranged like Babylon,
hung above the river zones,
when he sees my face,
running lines of alcohol,
makes it all sudden plain,
a time to stay alone,
a wolf howl at the moon,
don't want him around,
maybe I'll take a train,
find someone else to love,
glide across the lake,
who knows how it’ll go,
a slew of broken bonds,
laid heavy as stone,
how do you kindle flame,
with eyes to face beyond,
can we ever really say,
where we come from?
Tuesday, 11 March 2025
Ula
Do you think when beat,
perhaps with a common air,
you can rescue everything,
if love’s the game,
it's so hard to share,
even with my good name,
forget depths of need,
friends saying take care,
who needs sympathy,
getting out’s the same,
never short of being square,
stuck in some slow lane,
understand how to keep,
a wooden face on stairs,
bars are my sole conceit,
anyone I can tame,
watches me dance on chairs,
maybe use ankle chains,
does anyone want to see,
my freshly washed hair,
eyes lit like kerosene,
my soul laid bare?
Monday, 10 March 2025
Toni
Is this how we imitate,
our inventive best,
by crashin on our brakes,
batter open every door,
destroy our defences,
bend over backward,
fuelled by what we take,
like all the rest,
our bodies twist and shake,
fools line up to applaud,
think we've passed the test,
does two and two make four,
if the night's cool probate,
scatters across our senses,
we count what we make,
eye the drunken poor,
forgive their presence,
join them on the floor,
search and dance out pain,
it's a task that's blended,
won’t chase these away,
our new friends.
Sunday, 9 March 2025
Raine
You'll pay a heavy score,
my face is savage blue,
love comes swollen raw,
no sense of ease,
always stuck in your Queue,
never would say please,
games divined by whores,
sitting here in gloom,
listening for your footfall,
bad enough this street,
to dance on good news,
hear only loose screams,
why hack at lonely chores,
turned my life wishing you,
sweat in furious pause,
when you rage and bleat,
you never were my glue,
begging at some retreat,
am already over you.
Saturday, 8 March 2025
Quinley
Does water stand in mud,
in this house of whispers,
who says it does no good,
places you want to escape,
don't reqire a chorus,
to sing along the busways,
smothered as time goes bust,
leaving here's a bonus,
be prepared for mistrust,
find another game,
do what time insists,
to love is always pain,
maybe you need a tug,
sail away without ship,
stamp ashes into dust,
search for feeling great,
tread the middle distance,
you will find that fame,
an Ocean never floods,
so why make a fuss,
life runs in your blood,
plenty for all of us.

Pearl
Forget all the clowns,
that come to woo her,
they wouldn't know how,
as loud as their woes,
ships blow their hooters,
every song sings of home,
it's not her gold gown,
that makes them swoon,
an air of Je sais Pas,
she glides without a crown,
in bars full of juicers,
she'd rather be alone,
nothing happens by chance,
her soft eyes are ruined,
everything comes to pass,
swaying she raises a laugh,
but what can they do,
beyond bare countenance,
strange in these ocean towns,
these old faded boozers,
no sight of her throne,
between the losers.
Thursday, 6 March 2025
Oaklee
You scream the news,
in troubled nights,
to everyone you knew,
sung to the different bums,
left hanging on the line,
once you loved then let run,
sounds like lose this crew,
don't come easy you cry,
avoid as they look at you,
not just me you shunned,
swimming against the tide,
you left all of us done.
no matter who you use,
however hard you try,
you are not immune,
who cares what is numbed,
something deep inside,
shines beyond my love,
who will sing your blues,
clouds fill the sky,
death brings no easy due,
never a good sign.

Nula
Bellow I;ve been betrayed,
rage at bitter holy things,
take them to my grave,
can't afford the Blues,
where everyone just clings,
and debts arrive on cue,
what a sound they make,
a curdled breast to living,
who knows how they'll shake,
smoke cigarettes in the room,
when called upon to bring,
honey to kid's sugar hoops,
watch ships glide the bay,
do you really want to fling,
salt on all this heartache,
a child brand new,
wants to laugh at everything,
even if it isn't true,
don’t gamble all and say,
love to me is nothing,
can’t cheat a turning page,
find me a place to sing.

Margy
I’ll bet you know what,
how people feel shame,
caught in all their traps,
hang onto every sap
the jilted smile's stain,
they catch in every drop,
garnere in every slop
t've tried it every way,
take your time to cough,
those nights on the tap,
flying on a mercy craze,
who needs another slap,
huddled under burlap,
hear the pouring rain,
drink begets no chat,
from others just as daft,
life's no picture frame,
we're a long time cast,
to live without a compass,
the dread uncertain forays,
what you did was mad,
fear where life is mapped,
gets worse day to day,
nothing more invites collapse,
I didn't do all that,
but suffered just the same,
took all the useles crap,
I'd do it all again.

Please let me know,
what people feel,
deep in their bones,
this smile's a strain,
hangs on every tree,
I put on every day,
take your time right now,
nights without mercy,
will never make me glow,
stand in the pouring rain,
peer in mountain streams,
who would want my fate,
I've nothing to bestow,
absolved by crazy schemes,
my life's no picture show,
hair is out of place,
to live without a team,
wake each mourning afraid,
what I did was wrong,
can see how I've been,
i need to warm my toes,
the river always gleams.

I still hear me Da,
laughing like a foghorn,
all the money gone,
happy not badly scarred,
or left forlorn.
I start the car,
when he stamps the tar,
like a newborn,
he’s a fallen star,
can't understand what's done
looking war-torn,
I switch off,
he's not a clerk,
not even sure,
where’s his great heart,
can’t find that chart,
my son knows the score',
it’s gone too far,
a trip to his mother's,
ripped shirts he’s worn,
things fall apart,
love has no form

It's quiet here now,
after fifty years of seed,
my face cast in stone,
can still see the cave,
where praise be,
I hope to be laid,
my body under snow,
back to the country,
where comes the big blow,
gave me this place,
to encourage serenity,
he knew about feast days,
geese with barren tones,
flap the air above me,
high on my shoulders,
sing in their own way,
late for the season,
I'm just the same,
in the blue dawn,
wrapped so I'd freeze,
in my hands a rose,
the old loving need.
