Marie

Someone drip my kisses, forget how to gloam, those who still miss us, your search for a fee, hangs like a broken bone, the wind drives your schemes, sometimes you might miss, my reclining call, a lost bitter promise, so close is blue sea, stand and face the claw, the bold night freezes, it makes you laugh guiltless, each wave a coming storm, a newly painted Ithmus, please don't write to me, dare come back or clone, what is not to be, why do you insist, such kindred loss of score, what is there to bless, another cross worn?

No one makes me plead, wave goodbye to dreams, remnants that they leave , consider me gone, perturbed nor relieved, dancing on my bones, December in warm seas, the Ocean sets me free, if you believe, when you walked me home, under lilac trees, my eyes were aglow, some days I bleed, diminished by others greed, ask me why such sleaze, will never let him atone, fed up of broken scenes, no need to throw stones, I'm of a certain creed, a wandering happy soul, don't ask me to perceive, I'm best on my own.

My ma stamps the tar, she crumbles, when Da buys the car, no pine needles or hay, he sings for a lover, home or away, screams he's crossed the arc, makes light of ours trouble, he's bad from the off, dancing on red tables, strewn with candles guttering, constant embers of his craving, he's ruined her heart, I say get shut, this is only the start, his crisis not far away, and love always hungers, within sight of his gaze I still see him now, beaming like a juggler, just have him barred, his name is trouble.

I won't leave you alone, it's a disgrace, to throw away my loans, Oh do it if you must, let's leave this place, we're here gathering dust, is it enough just gone, to leave a nasty taste, steer me away from home, there's another trust, you can make out a case, put jelly on my bones, I don't buy this honeycomb, for a woman who shakes, stands brave at the Court, can't abide what I've lost, it's not something fake, my mouth tastes of wood, sing me a Blue note, I'm not a stepping stone, know it's me you love, if not for long.

Please don't identify, make stars break the news, between the moon and sky, you could enjoy the view, instead of being cruel, when you're up this high, don't say it's your right, throw fireworks in the sewer, give lightning drink a try, could you race the tides, without such fuel, save anger for wedding nights, put it out of sight, rage at some other fool, choke on pale candlelight, you've split communities wide, laughing at their feuds, juggle love in your eyes, smell my perfume, I'll whisper a tune for you, make you dance on wire, this is what I do.

Wouldn't it be great, to fall like fresh snow, bathe in gentle rain, tell me what's the news, dreams of last night's show, leave out homesick blues, don't worry about gain, at supper ask for bones, we'll stumble how to pay, forget how much we drew, or the need to show, what is paid in dues, beleave us in our state, spread mercy on the loans, calibrate the remains, we will never lose, say we've been let go, it's only what we do, my ear rings hang ornate, in rooms where flowers grow, find some drink to chase, looking like a ghost.

My calling comes too late, it's not easy to squeeze, thoughts I need to say, you recoil at my thunder, waved away like a breeze, lost in luck or numbers, you'll find out one day, when you'll want to keep, all my plans degenerate, its a life uncluttered, my insides screech, who needs this love, I'm not cut out this way, to beat a cowards retreat, will face each living day, if it makes you wonder, stones, graves, wreaths, its me who's talking remember, memories are all we make, I'm not so easy to please, my perfume fires your trace, it hides a conceit.
