Fifty Seven
These waters groan,
I whisper your name,
our ship sails alone,
don't know what to do,
a brilliant stain,
covers your ruin,
can I ever atone,
what I sought in your name,
especially in war,
how unlovely the truth,
that echoes disgrace,
brings me back to you,
whatever has flown,
look over the waste,
in this troubled zone,
the sea's lemon blue,
your face is drained,
nothing more is new,
you need another home,
help me to stay sane,
who knows what's gone,
is it me you blame?

Fifty Six
Memories that you lace,
so eager to please,
the rise of your face,
you recoil at my thunder,
my own conceit,
a man fixed by number,
a certain calling too late,
eager to squeeze,
what I need you to say,
a life uncluttered,
my insides screech,
don't search for a lover,
I'll find you one day,
when I watch you sleep,
see your dreams dedicate,
a time of great longing,
a crossing of the sea,
waste of time to bother,
I'm the disgrace,
beat a cowards retreat,
bound fast to the day,
it makes you wonder,
stones, wreaths, grave,
who splits who asunder,
not knowing what to say
who can smile easy,
or just look away,
at spirit's release ?

Fifty Five
Brilliant clones,
whisper your name,
Summer's in full flow,
you want to be free,
is this who you shame,
how to live happy,
to give what you show,
don't register fame,
find your own hollow,
dissolve by the sea,
only fools leave no fallow,
it's not in your creed,
to number each bone,
or circle every day,
you're brave enough to know,
stones, flowers, pieces,
drunken oblates,
console you as priest,
sing as you go,
take your share of blame,
drink whisky for the bones,
up your game.

Fifty Four
She hails what passes by,
laughs and hums a tune,
says it's stupid to lie,
she keeps a cheerful home,
beats away the blues,
always on the go,
her life starts to fry,
searching for what's new,
some waste all their lives,
others touch the stones,
kid themselves who's who,
what they'd known before,
forget the bitter times,
all the cool untruths,
bars, rain, days of tides,
dreams she can postpone,
always glad to see you,
happy that you phoned,
whoever owns the night,
or the wind hushed dunes,
makes you wonder why,
you act like you do.

Fifty Three
I float on the breeze,
heaven's in my soul,
no need to say please,
bear witness to my sighs,
still less about our home,
with your weary lies,
it's nothing to me,
better that i groan,
with this sense of ease,
you mark many a night,
battered with the blow,
you won't hear me crying,
a taste of release,
I strike a cheerful tone,
it strips out any dignity,
squirms when all right,
smoke and think of loans,
don't try to be wise,
it just goes to show,
when i'm off the leash,
cars seek out my bones,
better not to speak.

Fifty Two
You live life by drips,
yours not a big sea,
the blue light hid,
only fools gyrate,
bring each day few gifts,
is this how you delegate,
latticed with fibs,
it's all just a wheeze,
truth gets hid,
this is no child’s game,
around your greed,
how you cherish your ways,
what about the kids,
are they to be squeezed,
left gone adrift,
golden wings can't negate,
their flight on the breeze,
can't wait to get away,
if you knew how to give,
we wouldn't need,
to hide from your grip,
cant you see ?

Ffity One
In darkness and grain blue,
please give me a sign,
release me of my virtue,
is it me gone cold,
those of them brings news,
to others you've told,
my tears ask me why,
should I cry for you,
there are no good byes,
those lives made bold,
by your cock a hoops,
makes me feel old,
your eyes in constant flight,
care is not an issue,
but castigates our lives,
come near to me i moan,
can we light the fuse,
no one lives alone,
should i lie for you,
bells ring out the night,
our journey fires what's true,
tell me if it's right?
