Trinity
I used to be fine,
drinking alone,
now I cry into wine,
jokes my repartee,
humour lachrymose,
now just uncertainty,
what I have to find,
one that doesn't groan,
somewhere quiet and kind,
the rain starts to ease,
do you carry stones,
put one down for me,
am not she who's right,
stumbles on the phone,
sings of love at night,
still need to believe,
what once made me glow,
leaves space for dreams,
where is the line,
you draw coming home,
stuff bathed in light,
is all that gone?

Each laugh makes him a liar,
will he see,
the lines between my hair,
maybe just a little shove,
makes heaven easy to be,
hope it's enough,
awful places sad affairs,
still lets me dream,
no one kids me there,
get dressed I need a hug,
what about my teeth,
grace comes from above,
act like I don't care,
scrubbed sparkling clean,
I'll sail through the air,
you sing of new love,
dance rescues everything,
tides rise on the flood,
No he's not for me.
Riley
When you start to say,
can we dance alone,
ask me a little later,
throw salt on the fire,
I won't use your ‘phone,
don't make me liar,
pull a second's delay,
work out who's alone,
is my lover far away,
God loves a tryer,
it's lonely on stones,
calm his desires,
give us back our day,
not some smitten drone,
let me hear you pray,
I am not a Sapphire,
whose sparkle once shone,
am ready for the fire,
just need a coffee break,
rearrange my chromosomes,
pity some jittery flake,
who walks me home.

You ask me what's new,
never shut the door,
always smart on cue,
last in saying please,
reach for far shores,
enjoy what you eat,
don't believe in queues,
working the floor,
you’d break any curfew,
bad people on the street,
hardly make you pause,
on your way to scenes,
treat each one as new,
you've done your chores,
dollars that you blew,
know where you've been,
keep tight your mores,
what would anyone see,
adrift of light perfume,
drink like the poor,
your head won't balloon,
it knows the score.

It’s more than a while,
tell us all you know,
go on speak your mind,
this passing freeze,
is not one to flow,
ice blocks float on dreams,
don’t play at grime,
whoever says so,
loves get lonely at night,
no fun to retrieve ,
whoever lies cold,
ice in their sleeves,
to catch someone's shine,
best stay consoled,
warm a little red wine,
be part of life's scheme,
comfort your bones,
you have to believe,
all will follow.

Time of tides and truth,
know what's at stake,
theyre coming after you
It won't be long
before you set sail,
all about us wrong,
looking for the loop,
its what others say,
how they'll do us good,
need to stay strong,
no more chasing days,
just follow our spark,
from this cosy room,
hear what gossips wail,
our lies are well used,
outside in a car park,
they tell you straight,
get the money and dart,
go somewhere pale blue,
you need to brush away ,
all the bitter fueds,
love a slow train.

How do you know,
what makes you feel,
if you won't let go,
splintered smiley face,
just seems unreal,
to give you the grace,
don’t have to borrow,
look without a key,
see the stuff I brought,
you can jump a ‘plane,
gaze at mountain streams,
but look at me again,
I'm the one to bestow,
glim your crazy schemes,
not sit on my phone,
spout a a long tirade,
watered by the sea,
but allow love daily,
let you dream.
