Bella

When we begin to rave, you dance up and cry, give me lands far away, a lonely path alone, not having a light, a dark place from home, we sit out the fray, anchors hold us tight, ride the tide and wait, try to keep the strong, better than to cry, soon we’ll soon be gone, not just on holiday, so let us not fight, find reasons and fly, our horizon honed, lead us from this night, safe within our bones, there'll be no stain, the moon's our right, bound to bring good days, alive to the fire.

I'm not a fool at dawn, to feel an utter mess, every day exhausted, I should be at sea, on a wooden raft, time there to dream, summon ancient forms, erect my little mast, still even perfect storms, speak so clear and evenly, not roar out in distress, in my work you pay dearly, if you’re torn, living a life like this, my thing isn't yet done, I shall range the Ocean, set my shiny compass, sail a life that's calm, roll each crown of thorns, live without duress, heaven is a perfect love, I feel immaculate.

Do you measure distance, looking at a bottle of beer, as if it were crystal, the trenor of your bones, a river washes clear, give us time to expose, Cormorants skim flippant, fish in a boiling weir, last tides before winter, has our love been frozen, somewhere close to tears, I just say don't go, who will face such penance, a trapeze of wasted years, ask for want of infants, how to record each tone, in her faded artists gear, a gift for calendar tomes, If I consider limits, silver still cups my ears, let's be effervescent, enjoy these happy years.

Yola

There's times I wish, I’d never been born, lookout on a bridge, my taxi's gone, now leave me alone, blowing on my bones, what makes me think, know what I’m doing, getting stupid in drink, splashing Cologne, Autumn coming on, standing above the toll, then the clouds shrink, my ship's coming home, wives start to twitch, they see me walk, an unsteady sojourn, to meet sailor souls, majestic and garish, resplendent in the sun. I'm like a carriage, wheels come undone.

Why beseech the sailorsw, set fire their wooden frames, beg our excuses later, cotton, gold and spices, up the games we play, splice the knots of gripers, sunlight sings with covers, happy beneath its gaze, smile our drunken slumbers, to settle here or fly, decisions we have to take, searching nests of lies, leave this port for others, inscribe places in our name, no time for useless bother, is this the reason why, we're so sad on waves, our troubles rage at night, we can;t ever smother, the reasons why we came in search of careworn lovers, let'go home again.

Wanda

When love is solely, three missed trains, our faces solace lonely, then again it flares, a lava filled terrain, sipping eager at the bar, those lines going nowhere, such times we threw away, nights of ached for care, use a game of solitaire to face our changes, hold tight at funfairs, or on the cafe' square, cogbac in the gentle rain, cgarettes paint the air my Ma used to scold me, why rush thru each day, statements of our litany, turn up the flame.

Ginny

Old men who need women, eat calf’s liver and greens, something clings to them, the pity of night groans, a cool breeze seizes, the dread of being alone, worried they appear timid, that skin clings to bones, their desires know no limit, want to see ladies glow, brought to special evenings, we are their reality show, cognac turns breath bitter, even to hear them dcream, brings only idle tissue, beneath all their boasts, they know what Goya's seen, richer softer pillows, wine bread falling leaves.
