Paige

She says from on high, is that the sea, you have to wonder why, if this bag holds good, she’s as bad as me, face hollowed like wood, diamond jewels borne bright, her hopes of eternity, just don't seem right, something with my blood, she elaborates breezily, never do what I should, smoky blue across the sky, nothing else bears scrutiny, in this eartly light, we're so sad and cool, who expects sympathy, when we act like fools, on these long flights, we drink for company, maybe she's right, to seek reease.

Love holds the door ajar, hair spills down my face, lovers don't get very far, sit around looking cool, watch silken trees at play, act like being Dudes, you whisper about your Da, just another blatent, lonely as a shooting star, the money he's tooled, said he'd put away, took all of us for fools, now drives a burnt out car, banished from charades, no room here for sharks, you'll drain his pool, forget the hurt he makes, rid that other part of you, stop his tab at the bar, let him feel the pain, try to live without scars, who is he anyway ?.

Melanie

Whoever dares to say, family warms our bones, don't come this way, the picture's not kind, we can cry but won’t, being home isn't right, thoughts risen slain, ghosts like in some war, make parents to blame, clear as harvest light, with hardly a sound, they waved us goodbye, said go take a train, like a winter's love, find your own game, no horizon's bright, to navigate alone, no one has that right, a line on my face, says just carry on, everyone's the same, who hears that sound.

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 in the deep, I forget the signs, stuff that makes us scream, even with your news, a power beyond my sight, I know what's to be, love is a bitter feed, it always masks a why, someone's missing deeds, seals honk at the moon, words fall ill at ease, they raise an ocean tomb, I am used to this, won't you rest a while, drink makes you dream, 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.
