You ask how I cope, if you could only help, to take us back home, why make me suffer, away from the Lens, no need for your buffers, keep out of my zone, you might mean well, but I’m better alone, don't bring in your mother, let her stay in her shell, be a part time lover, we’ll roll with the blow, on bar stools and leather, our skin might need soap, but with syrups and scent, my life won’t be tethered, by you or your friends, I’ll laugh at the rope, that dangles bereft, that weighs all your hope, while I gaze to heaven.

What do you care, sprinkle salt on my traces, tell me what to wear, tunes you play aren’t easy, blue choral across my face, spun by the breeze, say you want to share, but here’s no kissing place, why put me there, in chains to the sea, waves like your gaze, a dull line to empty, hard to know what's fair, when that voice is raised. lips that snare, down sand - cut streams, no one escapes, oh, so sugar-sweet, you're such a liar, think you’re so great, are you aware, what’s washed away?

For each little bit of you, if anyone enquires, we won’t give a clue, life isn't a trombone, you play in a choir, why should they 'phone, your small cup of ruin, is brighter than fire, it’ll get you in tune, you know you may know, this poisoned desire, that twists you along, don’t ask for truth, say who's for hire, you’ll find out soon enough, if someone moans, and then expires, study their bones, down on the avenue, sing on the wire, always pay your dues, you're a straight flyer.

Can’t you tell why, accept you’ve been chosen, reach for the sky, stare at dead places, you’re mouth frozen, arctic stupid phrases, sing your favourite lines, our time done with roses, accept all you deny, beyond children’s faces, laughter shrieks unbroken, don’t carve out their stations, at the graveside, witness love's bonus, ships reach for the tide, what settles the debate, won’t care nor follow us, we blew over the traces, a flower at your side, just some little token, more a wish to verify, what remains unspoken.

Jackie

Why live in a haze, it's not like that time, you frazzled like cellophane, best not to moan, or warm holy wine, you were only a loan, why jump the trains, scour the line, for the perfect way, in your worn-out clothes, you did look fine, even on your bones, make a step change, scrape off the grime, come with me today, when someone groans, try to understand why, recognise that zone, don’t betray your days, let your heart unwind, find love instead of trade, you’ll know in time.

Bella Three

Look at the moon, a Spring tide today, everything comes around too soon, the birds who have gone, seeking away, sing as they go, my eyes are like pools, wouldn't it be great, to discover something new, here in the zones, no one deigns, to worry about loans, someone not cruel, but poised sedate, who forgets about dues, or where the wind blows, all emotion stayed, an emptiness done, my good parts are cool, clear as acetate, will you come here too, your heart aflame?

Bella Two

If I need another home, help me to say, what you know is gone, what I need to do, to unravel the waste, pick out the new, in troubled zones, find solace in each day, If you catch yourself alone, the sea is lemon blue, cafe's swell with rain, I’m always there with you, here in my bones, love will find a way, without being shown, sought by the few, with no thought for gain, life echoes this truth, brilliant stones, glisten your name, waters groan, tell me again.
