Why always open the gate, they ask, the ghosts who berate, sat on a bar stool, bereft, you never flap, throw parties for fools, know you’ll be saved, just have to tap, on door steps and graves, mark waystones by rule, if you understand, life is a jewel, creed leaves you sensate, dancing in ashes, climb out of that cradle, prise open the moon, tides are running fast, watch them all swoon, back home at last.

Would you even care, why i feel so rotten, swollen beyond a dare, have you read the news, opened up your wallet, i'm in love with you, your hand around me flares, laughs when i startle, signs are showing wear, carry on won't you, under trees or car parks, i'm remaining true, anchors won't bind this girl, ships might roll forgotten, stars run cold before my stare, i'm not a one to stew, God is not for mocking, He is never Blue, flags have you unfurled, can't you see me rocking, is it me you've turned, crawling on the bottom ?

No one takes you for a fool, find where the Ocean plays, they think you that stupid, crass, consider them gone, you don’t want to stay, listening to their sounds cheer, when botherer’s stew, blowing like shining whales, return the money you tooled, in a poor welcome home, dream of light,lilac waves, you're golden brown and toned, but no more trick balloons, bells or lust for fame, find your own dancing school whoever makes you groan, shred insurance claims, you’ll face them all alone, bring a chocolate tray.

Nothing more to negotiate, sing a song by Frieda Payne, seek a holy escape, they're only bones, that send you away, but you're not alone, reason says its not too late, to heal our broken gaze, like a brigand seeks escape, why be a rolling stone, all of life is saved, who am I to moan, if you disturb the waves, bring distraction into play, hammers will srike your days, separate my defiant song, find a distant tide or sail, an Ocean never scolds listen to what I say.

What it means to cry, within a screaming gale, no use trying to hide, in your bones, no need for a cradle, to find yourself alone, studying a time, when all your measures fail, resurrecting that style, how can you atone, when love forever pales, far away from home, flip a coin see the sky, talk of finding sail, you always leave this way, drink wine from coffee cones, ditch desolate mail, pillory those friendly ghosts, shout no worse than jail, forsake your lovely smile, caress the stony trail, laugh at passing miles.

Franky

I dream of her class, silken not shorn, sweet lineage of her clasp, golden unsought struggling to be born, I stand here forlorn, waiting in the traps, struggling on thorns, a modern day iconoclast, what cant be bought, shivering if torn , gets thrown overboard, what you say overlaps, with the fact I’m gone, hidden under Burlap, sitting there aghast, how to break the corn, someone says I'm mad, wait for the next dance, will she ever be caught, brings me to this pass, barely to nought.

Can you bring serenity, to this creature in a jar, rescued by the sea, like someone in a grave, bears a different mark, something you can't name, one who sets you free, like a bell from afar, away from childhood screams, maybe it's a different age, we drive around in cars, but I still feel strange, nothing fills my need, except a salty bog, somewhere I can dream, dance along the waves, sail wrapped around a spar, ditch all the wreckage, are you listening Ma?
