Layla

Before you came the sea, carried all the light, then it carried me, waves ask why it's you, whispered scrolls at night, who else can they choose, somewhere at my feet, I forget the signs, stuff that makes us dream, even with your news, a power beyond my sight, I know what's to to be, love is a bitter feed, it always masks a why, someone's missing deeds, wolves howl at the moon, words fall ill at ease, some raise an open tomb, I am used to this, won't you stay a while, drink makes you pleased, brightens up my smile.

Kylie

Go on then believe, my skin is nicely toned, am set free released, no demands what to say, the only song I own, slides down the bell way, a tide tender sweet, penetrates my soul, floats out on the breeze, who are you to state, all my pain's now gone, garbled words in haste, I smell of the sea, no need to moan, against such certainty, sing as I sway, am being consoled, everything makes my day, dive in waters deep, I really want to know, who will receive, the spirit in my bones.

Josephine

Sun rises uneven, cars fill their lanes, can't wait 'till evening, beyond the night sky, I've a need to explain, about my life outside, a social more of sympathy, coffee tastes the same, the poor take it sweet, I don't sit on the line, no matters what they say, can switch off any time, with my dawn novena, my paper smile aflame, joy tastes so neat, I drink chardonnay wine, love to walk and laze, dress in cotton whites, visions of holy retreat, only makes me faint, just my delicate feet, assist in the main.

Illiana

Come with me this way, we might see the ruins, blaze when we separate, dreams of the forenoon, you strum such tunes, our thirst fused, is there a lake, I could swim with you, know just what it takes, howl at the moon, it's not so new, elliptically true, will you retain , our golden certitudes, I won’t complain, here in the gloom, where love rests in shade, you’ll visit me soon, bring a sweet cake?

Helen

Take the love you know, float it on the tide, dance with me alone, drained by winter's blues, she might sail on by, like other ones you blew, caught up in a cyclone, think they'll be your bride, beg you please don't go, what makes it such a hoot, a heart needs to fly, only me thinks of virtue, try to break the ropes, cut through his cool design, nothing else comes close, me that has to lose, sweet fellow by my side, hasn't got the juice, you will stir his flow, catch another's smile, wait for bastard to show, hang around a while?

Georgie

I wonder if he's right, to head for the sea, in sad evening light, he’ll dance and parade, make love in some cafe', his soul works that trade, the shouting and fighting, fakes his release, he won't see the knife, his eyes bear the way, grow cold in the season, he'll pass this day, it's down to the wire, before a chance to flee, his heart on the fire, he carries such grace, but a fool in greeting, it isn't OK, bags weigh heavy at night, how can I believe, he'll never have sight, will always want me ?

Look up down the road, try to hold a grin, a smile all your own, stars show the way, blown in the wind, you're back here to stay, no need for a comb, walk without a lift, don’t need any loan, seek the going rate, your face shows a win, know how to behave, who needs a window, to hide any sin, what's deep in your soul, never mind future days, clean out that kip, now you’re on your way, tell all you know, never were a crim, while the cocks crow, it's time to live.
