Yanni

Can you remember the sea, its swell and the spray, our dance of Thebes, now the kids have gone, snowbirds flown away, it looks after its own, we dance on the beach, at the end of our days, all's within our reach, yet parts of the home, lie suddenly drained, we find ourselves alone, you tickle my feet, guide me like a stray, my troubles ease, across winter fields, woven into lace, I forget my worries, catch views like these, little wonder why I pray, buy me chips and coffee, let me eat away.

Ximena

Who hasn't thought, alone and perplexed, thinking oh Lord, maybe a drink of wine, the burdens of text, Birthdays or Valentines, consume all that's sought, down throats of the vexed, wonder how we're doing, spending everything Online, wonder what pops up next, asking for money or time, husband;s lover's divorces, light moving from the West, drunk and overwrought, who;s died in the Mall, staring at the rest, don't give me a call, a bundle of noughts, file compatability tests, isn't life joyous, are'nt we always pressed ?

Waverly

Ice and blue this morning, colors of the way I feel, between Me and him snoring, Chicago's full od snow we;ve hit an amber need, the way things are going, while its still the dawning, looks all set to freeze, why I fought so long, geese raise barren tones, my life is with their creed, their crying seems old, bravely honking never fawning, racing south to new fields, am I lucky to have nothing, to stay on the stones, step smoking just at ease, standing in the cold, thinking of the sea.

i have no need to follow, tales of other's affairs, who needs more drama, why raise a cheer, show only you don't care some only wander here, the cool evening swallows. a light like Ferrara, falls when wrong's wallow, on the road with inner peace, I'll live or die to share, wine that isn't cheap, let the candle burn its tallow. its flames happy snare, enjoy end of year's song, with bums who seek relief, explode laughter everywhere, even in our turbulent peace, lies my prayer.

Ulani

She has such a giving smile, she brings me sustenance, at Christmas time, what we can't do alone, is seek repentance, in circumstances not our own, wine pours at my side, it's like a Christening, cake is lit with lights, am I here or gone, she hasn't a cent, but laughs at the unknown, lives with good vibes, celebrates a life of richness, wants her life open eyed, her slumber's a loving one, a rhythm gently lent, horizons to be looked upon, my greatest day arrives, washes onto her innocence, she is like the tides, an island spirit.

Taya

She has such a giving way, she brings me Bollinger, on Christmas Day, what we can't do alone, is seek repentance, in circumstances not our own, wine pours down my face, it's like a Christening, she lights the fruit cake, am I here or gone, she hasn't a cent, but laughs at the unknown, who lives with good taste, celebrates a life of richness, calls upon me to pray, her slumber's a loving one, like s rhythm gently spent, lives we look in upon, my greatest days, awash on her innocence, they are like waves, to a beautiful spirit.

Sally

Tell me everything shared, all that we cannot say, try to look unconcerned, cards are like schooners, ploughing furrows in the Bay, throw me the next boomer, remain where you are, in a bar that's shady, don't worry about your hair, ask me to pray and hope, where you want to stay, far from this dockside role, you knew successful players, it was a different age, your tune still resonates, hangs on everything I know, a veil across my face, all that you didn't show, stay with the memories here, bound within your palisade, now when memory snares, you were once so great.
