Zara
Your house beyond the dunes,
roses listen at the sky,
does death bring us truth,
all poets die intestate,
however much they lie,
is this a time for rage,
even God is not immune,
don't put his love aside,
he's not one to dupe,
fire burns in the grate,
look up and give a sigh,
anchors bind my feet,
it isn't me you fool,
dancing in the tide,
you know who loves you,
all our petty hates,
left hanging out to dry,
lover's fervant states,
come to say we're through,
pilloried troubled nights,
God what a crew,
doubts go from your eyes.

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 windy 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,
furrowed into fine lace,
I forget my worries,
catch views like these,
little wonder why I pray,
buy me chips and coffee,
introduce me to Cocaine.

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.
