i'm not a fool to fawn, before altars or anything like that, my heart beats without scorn, i want to tell the sea, from my roaring raft, there's still a need to dream, spirit an ancient worm, from our little chats, sail into a perfect calm, need to spell this clearly, roar like a big cat, say this's not some scheme, from a love that's torn, losing life on the flat, my giving isn't done, ride rails, fly across dawn, adjust my Ray Bans, this girl's coming home, gallop through a field of corn, my lover asks, dance like you were never born, how's that a gas ?

Forget that you're better, those that you kid, could they stick together, the Fleet's here for booze, like little kids. and there's more good news, love is not undressed, where you laugh and skip, plenty of time to rest, no time for Tuesday's Blues, rolling off your hips, it's the time for truth, forget easy duress, or giving the slip, to hopes at their crest, wearing a little dress, kissing your finger tips, Juke Box at your request, would you be lesser, wonder if stripped, you still read his letters, wiser what you miss ? i want to tell the sea, from my roaring raft, there's still a need to dream, spirit an ancient worm, from our little chats, sail into a perfect calm, need to spell this clearly, roar like a big cat, say this's not some scheme, from a love that's torn, losing life on the flat, my giving isn't done, ride rails, fly across dawn, what we have left they ask, the ghosts, sat on bar stools bereft, in that sixties scene, when you left home, you didn't hesitate, to polish the chrome, the moon hesitates, it knows where she's been, the wind going boom hold the clock chimes, run outside the room, live generous lives, like you never rue, brave enough it rests nearby, what settles on the breeze to rescue God or try, brush away disease, laugh at why you're cold, what has come to be, dance on love you sigh, sing that song you sold, growl it like a lullaby, before you die you're no salamander. .panic shall not reign who holds their reins? best not to moan, keep hold of your creed, by Calendar or the sea, take Cium the bird who has flown, it was only fame, singing as she goes, drunk as a fiery contralto, dance amongst flames, problems the wind blows, the love that was shown, dissolves gives way, all that you owned, keeps you engaged. cafe's swell with rain, best not to moan, keep hold of your creed, don't let panic reign, like a hurricane zone, try to circle the domes, we are leaving Salerno, you have got my tone knowing not enough to see, would you let her tumble, tired of this campaign, across this shining bite, that gives no easy news, against the water's might, the Americas of circue. by mountains and ruins, lovers only hesitate she never left a family’s gate, but came here to sing, a woman who knows she's great, that beckons any time, next to me like a bride, around a constant why, the land within our sight, an old man and his wife, a voyage for the rate, set your almond eyes birds sing out of tune drain summer into June sweep up with the moon not present castigate, hope on a midnight wire, we are not alone in this lasting light, home provides no clue, God knows of your plight, don't try to collude, say your cards are marked, you're never that far, to stay where you are, in a warm hazy fog, and a veil across your face don't send me to Mars, from where you perorate. .

Who can dream of empathy, sitting on a wall, boom of a broken sea, i see her eyes awake, dancing on thorns, she reads me or takes, each day of uncertainty, echoed in my calls, an absence of feeling, who wants to stake, a fear of being torn, so i hesitate, someone asks me, a penny for your thoughts, what about infidelity, so useless really, being a liar adrift forlorn, waiting for the next scene, uncertainty forgets reason, wondering if i'm born, within this season, sat here in the lee, shuddering if i'm caught, this is not me, lemonade for thoughts. we can still blether we've heard the news, we are not tethered, throw away the rope, taking planes home just let us be, do what we say we'd do, faces strong as stones, no need for your views, tickets from the Pen, carry tiny worms of hope, deep within our breasts, don't ask how we slept,

Your face at the zone, somewhere far from ecstasy, tells me all we know, far away from time, or daily political commentary, a life combines with mine, your neck smooth as loam, when your torso pulls free, helps me rest your bones, on Sunday's drink wine, and you my lover seize, love from this turbulent clime, resist life's fine tooth comb, dance like a honey bee, not the smell of scones, or a house besides the sea, at the bottom of the cone, some other fantasy, as our bodies list and groan, let us dare to be, angels coming home, watching morning TV.

a e o, try hard and soft a, care/understand What if you care, that pull on my traces, don't you understand, the tune in blue trees, a web across my face, spun on the breeze, you still need to share, heaven's no kissing gate, when you send me there, in chains to the sea, unlike your gaze, those hymns to serendipity, hard to know what's fair, when your voice is raised, lips that snare, down fallen streets, no one runs or hesitates, sugar sweet, you're not a liar, to sing so great, were you aware, of passing this way?

We live or die in here, the first one offers wine, others circle near, bereft of drama or lonely stars, our debts are high, the journey is never far, a moon bright trees sere, each place lit with inner light, no one hides their fear, whoever makes their mark, another wonders why, clips a happy start, lemon tart as tears, chills a sparkly birth right, see the rise and demise, of easy danger near, before any whispered sigh, this prison on the weir, gives you the right, forgives previous tears, on walls is written life, cool,considered, clear.
