Yasi

You dance in the tide, your fame is just beginning, say you need a bride, my mother says stay true, she is not forgiving, for love running smooth, tobacco blonde full of lies, fresh alive and kicking, you sing on many a night, it brings me back to you, women do your bidding, you have no curfew, who knows if she's right, when you demand anything, sunlight, water, sky, love blows down the avenue, daisy heads are dipping, won't melt me lemon blue, your lips twist like knives, you had better stay true, I'll nail you with my smile, nothing else is new.

I'm Lucky to pass this way, no one here is brave, each evening conjugate, don't worry if I jeer, I am not a knave, measure life not fear, to broken laws you pray, define yourself and state, be gentle with your say, I can still drink beer, even if I’m late, a drunken innocent muscateer, School rings out for play, rather than enslave, I’m the one to elevate, other stuff brings tears, why scream or hesitate, let other souls swim near, my teaching hair turns grey, a sum of constant forays, lovers we can celebrate, you like me are great.

Bring me a sweet sign, in darkness of grain blue, my eyes need this flight, sing to me I moan, in this place of virtue, no one dies alone, we'll sail among the isles, our brightly lit fuse, makes prayer of our lives, steer an even course, funeled by sweet perfume, caressing all we know, you are my shining light, more than any muse. only we decide, when we’re growing old, age will bring us fuel, solace lives on hold, bells ring out the night, our journey fires the truth, laughter tells us why, joy is in our moon.

I'm the one who fights, priest's robes of purple hue, prefer my cotton stripes, within this sea of sharks, my smile arrives on cue, beams as I make a mark, don't ask for crass disguise, to a lover of balloons, try to make me wise, I parade towards the dark, when visitor's are due, my hair's the best part, it blows around my eyes, beyond the day's blues, men make a bridge of sighs, you're no shining lark, my spirit lifts the room, I shall call you Clark, you’ll pay my fines, there's nothing to refuse, explore my best smile, you'll laugh brand new.

It just goes to show, when I hear your blues, in some lane dead slow, being witness to your sighs, ugly internal feuds, the weary lies, drink Chardonay think of loans, energy to sooth, my boiling bones, instead of all the jibes, amid these stinking fumes, you won’t make me cry, realise it's all you know, how to haunt a venue, keeping up a teary note, don't try to be wise, you have nothing new, I've marked these nights, better face the blow, something we always knew, deep within my soul, little space for you.

if you knew how to give, you wouldn't need, seek a place to live, this is no child’s game, around what you believe, chasing all your days, what about the kids, with their surly needs, must they go adrift, golden ties can't negate, what shifts on the breeze, you let blow away, frame those terrible tips, you think such a wheeze, nail the coffin lid, even fools hesitate, to bring you gifts. what else can you desecrate, to live a life by drips, no care or loving heed, what yellow light strips, lays bare your creed?

Whoever owns the right, across a wind hushed dune, makes you wonder why, you keep a cheerful tone, relegate the blues, watch him on the go, forget the bitter times, all the cool untruths, he skims across the tide, living dreams without a phone, always glad to see you, a place that life postponed, the air splashes at night, arriving in a fog bound loop, do you tolerate his lies, reach for holy stones, kid yourself not to look, what you open, he whistles songs passing by, laughs and hums a tune, says it's stupid to lie, you regard him as a fool.
