Phoebe
Please don't groan,
stifle your screams,
I ’m not leaving home,
a knife to my throat,
you know where I’ve been,
love keeps me going,
I don’t need a boat,
search on the sea,
looking for don't knows,
or dance with my ghosts,
who jump like jelly beans,
toasting the lost,
when you live alone,
you’ll know what I mean,
what hurts the most,
in my red greatcoat,
you once used to lease,
bounty of my lone soul,
am not here to atone,
for our busted dreams,
just to say I welcome,
all what is seen.

Put me on the train,
I can hardly speak,
my mouth is like a drain,
forget these sunlit avenues,
it's my roof that leaks,
buckets of torrid news,
Paris or Marseilles,
everywhere they treat,
turns truth into fake,
pray I won't see you soon,
before my hair is grey,
forget your Provence rooms,
mark you well this day,
when my crazy inner deeds,
all come out to play,
bourganville blooms,
by a station at Nice,
it doesn't carry fortune,
what is there to say,
love burns at ninety degrees,
my prayers are forsaken,
can you hear the sea?

I’m fully aware,
if you're so great,
who am I to dare,
trying to make a home,
dreams across my face,
why do I feel alone,
a hard hand to bear,
the shaking out of fate,
all I've lost spare,
heaven screams atone,
other voices fade,
am I that far gone,
chained to your affairs,
plan a great escape,
rescued by a timeshare,
my yogi tells me flow,
when eyes start to blaze,
it's the time to go,
what if I don't care,
drawn on my traces,
you're so up in the air,
my time to waste ?

Prognosis only half true,
you smell the Limes,
Spring on the avenue,
joke about a scarecrow,
the belt that tightens,
hard on your bones,
hope there's no proof,
show if they’re right,
go gently with truth,
I won't be alone,
in this evening light,
to break out the stones,
I'll sit near the flue,
not like it's a crime,
fire seeping through you,
have to keep going,
each starry night,
when the kid's phone,
say you’ll be fine,
drink vodka with juice,
stick with the line,
how you're doing?

It's been some time.
but there you go,
let others wait in line,
when donkeys start to bray,
or the cock crows,
I'll have my say,
no need to find,
what you don’t own,
nothing more than a smile,
stars show me the way,
frozen to my clothes,
this is no easy getawayy,
kid I don't mind,
it’s just another show,
is there a little wine,
stay here and meditate,
wrapped up in the snow,
sing the night away,
raid s skip for fire,
won’t worry or scold,
it's been a while,
feel it in my bones.

Kiara
Why say the same,
beneath lilac trees,
each time we separate,
remember the times,
we sank in the heat,
sat drinking wine,
now a morning pain,
rises from my feet',
in this tired game,
believe me I'm fine,
I dream of the sea,
don't even try,
it all sounds fake,
even my dawn novenas,
fail to woo you again,
smile like a sugarbabe,
fix you something to eat,
your eyes hesitate,
don't ask to remain,
like stars fall uneven,
stay out of my lane,
no one has seen.

Your wishes make me,
shiver on the train,
alone bereft of family,
the hi jacked news,
lies tired across my face,
jelly for the blues,
wonder what to believe,
the falling rain,
a blessed relief,
it brings into view,
whye shifting tales,
never say anything new,
a swollen handkerchief,
an echoed fate,
a star across the sea,
is it so cruel,
to wonder how life plays,
before sunset looms,
where tears reach,
a soul in disarray,
don't spoil my dreams,
luck's on its way.
