Georgie
I need another home,
somewhere warm to stay,
now that you’re gone,
what else should I do,
ship out all the waste,
forget that other Dude,
all my troubled notes,
take comfort in each day,
when I'm most alone,
the sea is lemon blue,
skin tingles with spray,
makes me feel brand new,
deep in my bones,
know this is the way,
being present on my own,
something to the good,
stops to laugh and say,
why act like a fool,
brilliant pheromones,
might whisper your name,
but riding on the ozone,
know I'll be OK.

I'm not your big sea,
the yellow light hid,
so much more to me,
you ask about my lovers,
all their surly needs,
they don’t have my number,
what I need to live,
to inculcate belief,
is test all my limits,
find a place of wonder,
witness life gently,
no stripped down covers,
red nails and ribbons,
enough to receive,
life's wondrous gifts,
enslaved or encumbered,
forever making journeys,
sway in sweet slumber,
don't think I'm limpid,
by title or deed,
a matchstick to rivers,
watch me succeed.

Here in my angry Saloon,
I play this mad game,
does it do me any good,
shadows make strokes,
across the dirty panes,
why shocked I'm broke,
chords of a twangy hue,
shift my guitar play,
orange beats the gloom,
down this long road,
they say loss is gain,
tell to him who chokes,
But I still hold a tune,
across wooden tables,
seeping through perfume,
I'll never be done,
with him off the rails,
but there's always one,
due north are the Dunes,
lying over the lake,
what happens to truth,
does it make waves?

From a cafĂ©’ that’s dark,
her lovely face shadows,
she sees supermarket yards,
dressed in night’s sentience,
across trolley she’s heard,
the bums take any bet,
spirits rise with a spark,
she sings like a sparrow,
allows herself to carry on,
it’s a rare essence,
not cut to the marrow,
when heeding life's lesson,
she can’t forget that lot,
they don’t fire arrows,
precise in each movement,
but feels in their presence,
a list bred with sorrow,
what to give as presents,
if there’s ever a chart,
to tick off forebearance,
she earns full marks,
all of us vagrants

I live in a haze,
sheltered from the wind,
stuck like cellophane,
best not to moan,
to set a new trend,
I just need a loan,
won’t jump the train,
disappear from the land,
use stuff to ingrrain,
in my best clothes,
I enjoy being kept,
even on my bones,
can a whole life change,
not being friends,
love's more than trade,
when someone groans,
I’ll reach for a pen,
sign me over the code,
stoke up a blaze,
break free of sin,
call out your name,
he'll understand.

Dreamy lines won't hurt,
enough to crack,
into my golden world,
silken tents thrown,
never collapse,
held fast by stones,
plates sometimes hurled,
whatever holds us back,
smiles at cigarette curl,
my mind is full blown,
other don't always last,
consider my lovely home,
who can be perturbed,
how much love has passed,
find ideas well turned,
joy is a constant hope,
make life hold me fast,
before the gentle slope,
scribes write or burn,
set upon their path,
turn my flame up high,
let me feel the blast.

We can sometimes squeeze,
from each breath taken,
a moment of ease,
it makes me swoon,
an unwashed face happy,
in this bohemian room,
outside's a sycamore tree,
cars park in the rain,
sunlight cuts the breeze,
they’re playing our tune,
forget lovely holidays,
a lorry goes by vroom,
painting feeds our frenzy,
the bed is a cradle,
stars above eternity,
we dance on the avenue,
each worry tossed away,
find our own good news,
hear bartenders speak,
go go baby create,
laugh at the lovely beat,
love is what remains.
