Mathew
Bring me a sweet sign,
paint dusk constant blue,
curtail your eyes in flight,
come near to me I groan,
on this ship of turpitude,
no one dies alone,
we sail among the isles,
gently light the fuse,
make prayers of our lives,
steer an even course,
lulled by sweet perfume,
temptation’s all we know,
you are my even sight,
more than any muse,
only you can decide,
what is worth growing old,
how to bring such news,
to lives feeling cold,
night time sings our truth.

You’re lucky to pass my way,
exercise where we congregate,
no one here is brave,
don't worry I’m not a seer,
neither fool nor knave,
I value life not fear,
to broken laws we pray,
define ourselves as stowaways,
be gentle with your say,
I can still drink beer,
even if it generates,
a mildly vicious atmosphere,
bells ring out for play,
rather than enslave,
in this yard we delegate,
other stuff brings tears,
so we scream defibrillate,
let other bums come near,
you and me won’t wait.

You dance in the tide,
your fame is just beginning,
I want you for a bride,
Mother says stay true,
she is not forgiving,
for love running smooth,
tobacco blonde full of lies,
fresh alive and kicking,
says you’ll skin me alive,
if there’s any gift to you,
it’s not in that one’s bidding,
says you have no curfew,
says she knows all right,
when you demand everything,
sunlight, water, sky,
your love a fleeting shadow,
swimmer’s heads are dipping,
don't melt me lemon blue,
God knows I’m slipping.

In the passage a light,
for those who want to pray,
her youngest suffers at night,
some places are a sty,
behind the lip of alley ways,
where the freighters tie,
she always looks for sighs,
somewhere safe contained,
away from terrible sights,
her brain is fried,
you'd expect that anyway,
the way life entwines,
all our stillness 'till we die,
no one is to blame,
if we dream of islands,
wait for lamps to shine,
the chapel's sweet gaze,
a loving gentle fire,
accepts our ancient flame.

I'll stick with you,
if I'm not too frayed,
stop all this foo foo,
don't make me groan,
like a special case,
in a yellow spring coat,
I'll borrow you the moon,
even Church and its slates,
you'll beat these blues,
we are never alone,
pearl doves at the gate,
I’ll make you a throne,
tell me the truth,
if you’re so great,
why treat me like a ruin,
want a cosy home,
let’s you lie in state,
you better get moving,
love does not wait.

This cold white grate,
won’t heat your bones,
you’re always too late,
give money to fools,
you've got no phone,
but smile like an angel,
why try to engage,
when you're that gone,
all that's intestate,
who needs more proof,
when you sit and moan,
the wind surrounds you,
where are your best mates,
blown on weather zones,
who'll rescue your case,
they catch you on Zoom,
let everyone know,
when you lock the room,
cold as a stone.

Tell me, tell me why,
they teat me like a seer,
my lips dissolve their cries,
who says to run clear,
call for stolen rights,
demand a veil of tears,
i am a beautiful sight,
candles raise their fears,
bells ring for the night,
joy is my sole conceit,
ask the proud engineer,
fresh from golden sleep,
a woman of dreams,
I walk these city streets,
they scream desolate screams,
will they ring my feet,
slash or burn my ears,
there's no need to entreat,
they love orators here.
