Don't leave your dreams, with those most persistent, of serious mien and demeanour, they're for those who gloam, who travel huge distances, you never felt alone, you grace our daily scenes, how different in that instant, you altered all our visions, now love a shipwrecked rover, a sight of heaven mister, a pirate of golden bones, a wayward soul who deems, you are his angel’s conductor, if security comes between, the offering of someone torn, or good men of the justice, is it children and home, no one does it for us ?

Mary

Across my vision Athens, on my sleeve a chance number, we’re silent at its shedding, those faces a sweet shining, a garrotted wonder, as if they were swimming, I whisper to myself, how the world slumbers, fallen within a spell, we shelter beneath the limes, the sea’s gentle thunder, a storm within the fire, a nation brought to this, a night time of whispers, lost in this parched wilderness, it makes our days entwine, one sun washed conundrum, the sailors are swilling wine, our City can’t go under.

Laura

Give me demon jewels, let me laugh through tears, even dance with fools, under cold white stars, golden waters bathe me clear, I can’t stand this war, my dream is for renewal, servants can spike fear, money make them drool, their smiles come from afar, aching for those peaceful years, when I soared like a lark, turn my head aside, look cool, news makes me not want to hear, what they've done is cruel, my gait lights the dark, sparklers sing at my ears, I’ll make them see the cost, they'll rue this Seer.

Kieron

This awful strumpet year, sea crashing on rocks baby, is going to be different, down to the city by train, nothing about maybe, hate long journeys in the rain, it’s only my fear, pray long distance to Our Lady, I won’t wallow in tears no need to feel ashamed, when you call me crazy, the water is my holy grail, Sparta Corinth yesteryear, I was a pirate trading, let me make it clear, assure you I’m not lazy, fill this ship with lading, bring you peace of St Saviour, I will find a way.

Jane

The wind holds its breath, it caresses our ship, we want to dance instead, in downtown clubs, with bad drunks hard hips, who can’t feign enough, those gloomy inward men, whose creative quips, make us sorry for them, they crawl like bugs, desire our lips, don’t care how we tut, we say what the hell, go take a pill, dab perfume erase the spell, this ship will fly with us, we know our maritime drill, when to unfurl or trim, always keep a steady grip.

Inez

My time goes by unseen, afraid of kids, family, my bones, you closed off my dreams, which face did you use, outside the stables or by the lawn, when you struck and threw, those weekend scenes, if anyone hears my groans, the roar of silent streams, you pick a time you knew, raise your scare brained tones, discard everything true, morning chit chat, is too extreme, survey my jewels and clothes, breakfast on Baileys with Cream, this ring side is a lighted fuse, it’s why I say go home, sing your own life's blues, it’s all written down.

Hadley

She regards a dawning sea, each dance is a trip, and wonders about her feet, if she feels love, not knowing what to give, still needs to keep strong, bars fuel her sole conceit, every song shakes her hips, sunrise greets the Atlantic, brown wood yards, their blond hearts stripped, stand closely by the docks, when morning turns green, she dresses and skips, to the heaven on 8th Street, says a prayer up above, wishes on communion lips, that maybe a turtle dove, might bring her a kiss ?
