Zayla

You who always fight, see my robes of springtime hue, in your cotton stripes, within a sea of sharks, your smile arrives on cue, beams while I enter, throws no crass disguise, the lightness of balloons, you are that wise, I swing through the carpark, leaving the visitor's room, looks will take me far, they sail around my eyes, discard fake news, brook no bridge of sighs, am happy you're so smart, your spirit lifts the avenue, no need to say ta ra, you’ll beat these confines, nothing to refuse, give me the best dial, you're coming home soon.

Yaretzi

if you knew how to give, you wouldn't need, places like this to live, it’s no child’s game, around your greed, chastened by your days, what about the kids, with all their surly needs, you'd let them drift, golden lies can't negate, the spin of your crease, everything you say, spider's threads of fibs, a whole life of unease, determines who bids, foolish to remonstrate, ask you to desist, while you pontificate, parcel your life in bits, no time for loving needs, all the stuff you've hid, i'll make them see.

Xandria

It just goes to show, when I hear your blues, in some lane dead slow, a witness to those signs all blah and ugly feuds, packs of weary lies, the missed loans, anything said to unhook, my frozen clothes, instead of jibes, and all your doodle doo, it's better that I cry, more than what you know, still hold a certitude, keep a cheery tone, why try to be wise, to me it's nothing new, marked those weary nights, better face the blow, some things I always knew, release troubled souls, in particular you.

Waverley

The love you blow, are dice gone astray, a fool with every throw, is it in your creed, to circle night from day, why you can't see, in garments sewn, like a drunken oblate, gambling's all you know, tables chased by whiskey, nowhere's talk of shame, lightning sets you free, looking like a scarecrow, poker has no grace, head bowed as you go, don't come back to me, plead to ease your pain, how to make you happy, brilliant atonement, glistens your name, not one last sorrow, in your face.

Vanessa

Whoever owns the night, the wind rocked rooms, makes you wonder why, I keep a cheerful home, outside lie the dunes, where our kids always go, forget the bitter times, all the cool untruths, different worlds collide, living dreams without a phone, it’s always good to see you, a piece of life postponed, the air is splashing by, fog is like a soup, don't wait all our lives, can we resolve the tone, take another look, at who we were before, hear them laugh passing by, catch their lovely tunes, let's give it another try, they'll be gone soon.

Unity

This is not happy, jelly in my thoughts, each day an eternity, such a fall from grace, cast adrift forlorn, why blame it on fate, make a fool of reason, laugh when I'm caught, spitting at the seasons, you’ll read this and shake, attest to my call, no matter how it hesitates, deny even the sea, wonder at fog horns, booming into empty, will you raise the stakes, fear of being torn, bring me back again, who needs purgatory, sitting on a wall, thinking is it just me, not wanting to fall?

Talia

If you need another home, help me to say, what you know is gone, all I need to do, is unravel the waste, reach out for the new, in troubled zones, seek solace each day, hope you're not alone, the sea is lemon blue, my day is turning late, I have learned to cook, here within my bones, love will find a way, without being shown, sought only by the few, with no thought for gain, strife belays this truth, brilliant stones, still glisten in your name, find them don't moan, live to try again.
