Ellie
You who always fight,
priest's robes of purple hue,
should see my cotton stripes,
within a sea of sharks,
your smile arrives on cue,
beams while I sink,
give me some crass disguise,
a lover of balloons,
try to make me wise,
I walk like a tank,
to the visitor's cube,,
my hair not yet lank,
it blows around your eyes,
behind TV's fake news,
it's a bridge of sighs,
you're no dismal crank,
your spirit lifts the room,
I call you Hank,
you’ll pay these fines,
there's nothing to refuse,
I’ll give my best smile,
make you laugh like new.

Bring a sweet sign,
in darkness and grain blue,
your eyes in constant flight,
come near to me I moan,
in this place of virtue,
no one dies alone,
we sail among the isles,
how to light the fuse,
make prayer of our lives,
steer an even course,
lulled by sweet perfume,
temptations all we know,
you are my light,
more than any muse.
only we decide,
when we’re growing old,
who will give the news,
to lives gone cold,
bells ring out the night,
our journey fires the truth,
my tears ask me why,
I should lie to you?
Mathew
You’re Lucky to pass this way,
each evening conjugate,
why no one here is brave,
don't worry if I’m queer,
I am not a knave,
measure life, not fears,
to broken laws you pray,
define yourself by hate,
be gentle with your say,
I can still drink beer,
even if I’m late,
a drunken innocent muscateer,
bells ring out for play,
rather than enslave,
I’m the one to delegate,
other stuff brings tears,
why scream or hesitate,
let other souls come near,
my yellow hair turns grey,
the sum of constant forays,
lovers, please celebrate,
you like me are great.

Faisa Four
You dance in the tide,
your fame is just beginning,
say you need a bride,
my mother says stay true,
she is not forgiving,
for love running smooth,
tobacco blonde full of lies,
fresh alive and kicking,
you sing on many a night,
it brings me back to you,
the cafe's do your bidding,
you have no curfew,
who knows if she's right,
when you can demand anything,
sunlight, water, sky,
love blows down the avenue,
lupine heads are dipping,
don't melt me lemon blue,
your lips twist like knives,
our trips to secret venues,
you nail me with that smile,
what else is new?

Faisa Three
I'll dance with you,
if I'm not too late,
stick to me like glue,
don't make me groan,
like a special case,
in yellow clothes and Cologne,
I'll borrow you the moon,
why not church or state,
if you'll beat these blues,
we are never alone,
pearl doves at the gate,
a promenade to your throne,
tell me the truth,
if your vision's great,
does it sleep in ruins,
maybe a lazy home,
lets me stake my case,
dusty as a heavy tome,
you make me swoon,
take me as your date,
to hell with the rumours,
love doesn’t age.
Faisa Two
Cold white hate,
stokes your bones,
you who are always late,
I give money to schools,
you've got no phone,
but smile like a fool,
why try to engage,
when you're that gone,
all that baggage,
who needs more proof,
when you sit and moan,
i'll show you,
there are no bedmates,
blown on weather zones,
who'll rescue your case,
they say you zoom,
let everything blow,
when you lock the room,
I’ll cheat that fate,
wear sturdy clothes,
find gold in the grate,
shine a shiny stone.

Faisa
Bring me sparkling jewels,
let me laugh through tears,
no need to be cruel,
my voice brings you grace,
what else can you fear,
there is no bad faith,
turn your head you fool,
you need this siren near,
don't feel bemused,
my singing tells your fate,
perfume costs you dear,
listen before too late,
dreams and other rules,
you ache for visions clear,
golden domes pursued,
along the shipping lanes,
a whole life in fear,
to carry so much freight,
dance at torrid news,
find a passage clear,
pull away your issues,
set sail for better years.
