You like strong tea,
tears are lachrymose,
jokes your repartee,
might have once been so,
you are strong,
never one to atone,
wind starts to ease,
you take the stones,
replace them with certainty,
the moon fills your dome,
you'd never scorn,
but why have they gone,
where is the sea,
never one to roam,
when you need to believe,
when they all leave,
do you raise your brow,
walk to the lavatory,
your sons have left home,
their mother's fine,
you fix a drink alone,
stronger than wine.
when donkeys start to bray,
ou dance and fade
never mind the time,
we sit by a fire,.
stand before the enemy,
a terrible supplies of energy,
vodka tonics citrus cool
who needs reason,
bags weigh heavy at night,
it's fun being away,
we won't ever concretely,
inquire about pain,
a long silent right,
take a train,
you who'd sat and tread,
a lonely path alone,
not having a sou to spend,
ost like Zeus in his head,
listening to stones,
i only read in bed,
send me ahead.
,
this horizon so bright,
or a sail on the lee,
this way there's no stain,
so far we're right,
who needs reason,
bags weigh heavy at night,
it's fun being away,
we won't ever concretely,
inquire about pain,
a long silent right,
take a train,
you who'd sat and tread,
not having a sou to spend,
ost like Zeus in his head,
i only read in bed,
send me ahead.
,
December in warm climes,
find an Ocean to lie in,
if they think that crass,
consider them gone,
you're not perturbed,
dancing on brown chairs,
when you tell lover's lies,
s
on the lilac,
whoever make me plead,
wave goodbye to dreams,
she has me all alone,
my turn now to bleed,
always opens the gate
they ask, the ghosts,
sat on bar stools bereft,
you never throw stones
What you created,
with me as your creed,
leaves me prostrate,
a tune with broken tones,
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.
when you geniflect

It's been a while,
so there you go,
you're not a child,
when donkeys start to bray,
or when the cock crows,
you'll have your say,
no need to find,
what you rarely own,
then walked the miles,
a star showing the way,
frozen in your bones,
there are no trains,
kid you don't mind,
if there's another show,
never mind the time,
stay here a while,
wrapped up with the snow,
you have such style,
we sit by a fire,
awaiting the tow,
you try to look kind,
a smile in your soul.

Diagnosis that's half true,
she smells the Limes,
on a tree lined avenue,
acts like she knows,
the ties that bind,
blows hard on her bones,
hope holds you aloof,
she knows that is right,
except there's no clue,
she won't be alone,
in this cosy light,
to break out the stones,
but has to keep going
through cold evening night,
when the kids phone in,
she sits near the flue,
it's not like a crime,
for a fire to warm you,
thinks she'll be fine,
drink leads to ruin,
it's just a strange time,
to know if you're through?
the relatives will arrive,
like a roll of the dice
the mother mewling,
nephew's face tight,
they like a brew,
whisky beer a little wine,
even some moonshine,
a place beyond the knife ,
no need for your fluting,
i'll be back to stay,
change to a different hue,
dream of a life outside,
moments to pray,
there'll be no rice,
i can't explain,
when i'm close by you,
yon't need me to hide,
my thoughts in the ice
a wolf howl at the moon,
not like coming home,
who knows where's the flame,
a trapeze of broken runs,
does our soul work this way,
how can i fasten fame,
acting like some walking tomb,
can we ever really say,
what makes a country tune

Time breeds necessity,
the shouting and fighting,
feeds this unease,
doesn't need the news,
to tell what is right,
has enough to do,
winter's like the heating,
lilac as the night,
who needs to heed it,
find another avenue,
her face is bright,
who needs this curfew,
the walls are like treacle,
what's down the line,
before he sees her,
worrying about freedom,
her eyes near the fire,
cold in the season,
good reasons to leave,
wonders if she's right,
to head for the sea,
thinking she'll be happy.

Will you arrive the same,
beneath the trees,
each time we separate,
remember the times,
bars stacked like wheat,
we sat drinking wine,
now a morning shame,
it's not just my feet,
in this tired game,
now i'm fine,
i dream of the sea,
sail away on the line,
what does it take,
with my dawn novena,
to have you back again,
a smile like a hurricane,
your body a treat,
see you hesitate,
why can’t you remain,
the sun rises uneven,
cars fill up their lanes,
won't wait for evening.

You say time to leave,
don't really want to know,
not part of your creed,
you just want away,
to live or die alone,
dig your own grave,
you make our love bittersweet,
no human need for home,
children, big dreams,
shifting sounds of the sea,
you dance on moonlit bones,
i want to stay pretty,
sing along and pray,
the only song i own,
i am right to state,
can you hear me keening,
locked to an iron stove,
like the rock of Euripides,
please don't push me,
I'm only skin and bone,
who are you to believe,
you arbitrate my soul.

Fear is dark around my sight,
makes me hollow ancient flame,
wait for lamps to shine,
when i'm near to true,
i'll be back to stay,
change to a different hue,
dream of a life outside,
moments to pray,
drink a little sweet wine,
there'll be no avenues,
i can't explain,
when i'm close by you,
laughing in a better clime,
no one's to blame,
for part of me dying,
don't need fire to hide,
my thoughts in train,
will return on the tide,
beyond the knife is right,
need you to say,
don't turn away in silence,
we'll go home again.
