Renee

The love you sow, dissolves and gives way, broken like a stone, is it in your creed, to waste all the days, until you feel a heartbeat, in garments sewn, by a drunken oblate, who takes the first throw, incense, flowers and the sea, waves dance without bones, this time it's for real, how much have you cloned, using love as a game, head bowed when you go, a bower near the trees, whisky and blame, you'll never be at ease, brilliant ozone, carries your name, Summer ebbs against the flow, I'll find my own space.

This is not me speaking, jelly for my thoughts, each day jaw bones creaking, a serious fall from grace, cast adrift forlorn, there's no need to create, make a fool of reason, loudly laugh if caught, a splintered axe of seasons, you might read and quake, fake absence at my calls, when I scream and shake, unaware of your treason, sometimes wonder if I'm born, fearing for the next scene, erasure of the lousy stakes, you'll fear being torn, I'm a widow maker, who can dream of empathy, drinking on a wall, boom of a broken sea, I'm not here at all.

I need another home, help me to say, you know what is gone, stuff I need to do, unravel the waste, pick out what's new, delay troubled zones, find solace every day, seek the unknown, the sea is lemon blue, cafe's swell with rain, crowded darkened rooms, listen to my bones, love will find a way, without being shown, what is sought by few, allows no thought of gain, unfazed by the truth, orchestral storms, glisten with day, you will never be alone, show me the same.

Why live in a haze, it's not bad this time, crumpled like cellophane, best not to moan, drink holy wine, you're not on your own, don't jump at trains, scour down the line, for the perfect way, in your worn-out clothes, enjoy what’s around, live without loans, make a step change, scrape off the grime, find love instead of trade, when someone groans, say you don't understand, move out of that zone, regaled by your days, let your heart unwind, have a greater say, in all you design.

Look at the moon, a spring tide today, love turns around too soon, the birds who have flown, seeking away, sing as they go, my eyes fill like pools, wouldn't it be great, to find someone new, it's a hurricane zone, where no one reigns, to oversee the loans, someone not cruel, but kind and sedate, someone not like you, where the wind blows, all emotion is played, my emptiness gone, the good parts were cool, clear as acetate, you forgot about dues, high across the flames?

Why always ask why, accept what you’ve chosen, before stopping to deny, stare into dead space, your mouth frozen, issuing stupid phrases, sing your favourite lines, time is done with roses, accept all you decry, beyond children’s faces, neither shrunken nor spoken, regale wonderful relations, even at the graveside, witness true love's bonus, watch clouds sail the sky, care settles any debate, don’t wonder what follows us, let go of the traces, keep flowers at your side, just some little token, beyond a wish to verify, we remain unbroken.

Never one to search for gain, every task is spent, working in the rain, don't get sore, putting up new fences, I'm waitiong here indoors, you know what it takes, to grant me a presence, an ungrateful reprobate, fools sing for applause, they have no credence, I count out the score, no need to celebrate, to bring me your best, life is not a game, two and two makes four, I'll alter your defences, will always demand more, see how you hesitate, your invested rent, in night's cool probate, exploring good friends.
