Tanvi
Go on assign your chores,
or other things you do,
scream like I'm a whore,
throw stones at boomers,
fill your eyes with goo,
sing birds out of tune,
keep up with the law,
don't pretend my perfume,
makes you want to snort,
we're not alone in this brew,
dancing light of costumes,
jail provides no clue,
God knows at your core,
you try to rest assumed,
all our cards are scored,
never that stupid,
to say its not you,
just some other crew,
a veil you can draw,
across my face in virtue,
illuminates your craw,
missing out on truth.

My mother says keep true,
but she doesn't rate,
our love running smooth,
it brings me back to you,
by mountains and coarse lakes,
love to do what we do,
don't melt me lemon blue,
my yellow hair just shakes,
it blows down the avenue,
our trips to secret venues,
make me sometimes hesitate,
luckily there's no curfew,
pass this day can't you,
each evening celebrate.
no one's out to get us,
why worry about the feuds,
life shows all its breaks,
stir in some wicked tunes,
see the sound it makes.

Romy
Who knows if she's right,
when she can demand anything,
sunlight,water,sky,
like grey sea off Martha's shank,
her smile arrives in a sling,
beams where my heart sank,
she's never left a family’s side,
but comes here to sing,
a woman who has to fight,
her lungs like a tank,
that blows through any ring,
bursts open doors of banks,
next to me like a bride,
her lips shine like shillings,
around a constant sigh,
her days are never lank,
nails me with that smile,
too assured let's be frank.
tobacco blonde full of lies,
a dancer whose fame decides,
many a famous night,
who dances in the tide.

Qiana
Times that brought her here,
a yellow light of feasting,
she dreams of winter fairs,
won't let anyone condone,
what passes for ease,
harsh memories a broken home,
more than any fear,
she'll do what's needed,
holding back the tears,
love seeps around her throat,
it reaches her knees.
trembles in a toll of water,
lets go a life of drear,
knows what she's leaving,
stuff fought over and cleared,
a used loading stone,
she throws to the sea,
swears she'll never atone,
fixed like an overseer,
she cries upon release,
wonders if anyone hears,
life settles easy.

Bells ring out the night,
will we ever see home,
like a song beseeches why,
the Americas near or far,
by mountains in the gloam,
where we'll make our mark,
is land within our sight,
a warm embrace of domes,
give me your sweet sign,
love only turns to tar,
when dancers lose their soul,
everything becomes stark,
in darkness and green light,
our lives are surely formed,
you always shine so bright,
no wonder you're a star,
do not need a semaphore,
to guide us where we are,
through seas alone.

Ophelia
She's left the family gate,
but comes back here to sing,
everyone knows she's great,
she can beckon any time,
next to me like a fling,
around a constant why,
voyages to the olden days,
dust her golden sling,
her almond eyes serrate,
the song within her sight,
shines upon her ring
an old man and his wife,
birds call to conjugate,
aware of coming Spring,
she puts seasons on the slate,
sweeps the moon with wine,
her audience is crying,
says she'll always be mine,
to them she's everything.
Nayeli
Face down terrible shades,
no star can fall shor,
to meet outrageous claims,
you who wonder why,
I can walk the walk,
admire these cotton stripes,
this no child’s game,
every ship sails caulked,
chasing my days,
it's you who always lie,
golden trinkets small talk,
spin your crass disguise,
glad tidings on the way,
your hay bale's forked,
hits anyone on the make,
only fools can try,
treat me like a Stork
brother why don't you fly,
I'm no sleepy dork.
