Dylan

Who forgets generous acts, standing by an unlit lamp, noting absent facts, watching slower ships, those who always last, hanging on my grip, measured by horizons, does my lover's laugh, need a new dimension, a tree, a bridge, a shift, to liven up our span, spend our money in drips, he's jobless on his back, throw salt at our list, we'll get life on track, stamp our own good plan, don't let us sag, beam a light to distance, spirits to our dance.

When he talks seaports, when you see dark rooms, understand what’s bought, coming home he says, please unlace my boots, give me time to pray, smile in a mirror’s comfort, wait for the dismal hoot, try standing in support, bridge the scrubby terrain, forget his bad cahoots, light candles in his name, bless his lonely consorts, who suffer him like you, shush all tawdry remorse, don’t walk away, always find the solace, burn this time in flame, life is your oasis.

Bella

Will you suspend, a lifetime of gain, eking out a stipend, why not pursue that gift, down interesting lanes, going beyond your shift, follow towards that end, all fires give way, you only have to bend, washed by the cliffs, sheltered from the rain, no one lives by bits, chained to their fences, mistakes lovers make, to slumber in torrents, please just listen, each one has their say, let your eyes glisten, try catching the day.

Annie Patricia

Do I keep or burn, love I thought would last, a flame that still yearns, I could demand anything, now all he sees a trap, what does that mean, it doesn't seem fair, not enough to map, why I'm being compared, he’s gone and it rains, songs of our collapse, freight of lonely trains, if you hear my words, they are not just crap, hanging in salty air, all I did was bring, stuff to make him laugh, must count for something, even if it's passed ?

Zara

Who forgets generous acts, standing by an unlit lamp, trying to make fire, watching distabt ships, those who help always last, measured by my dry lips, my husband always laughs, who forgot the candles, to lift our little fast, send us money not tips, we’re jobless on the tramp, throw salt at our fits, bless our sacrosancts, stamp the Catholic stamp, do not let us sag, help us to get lost, spit saliva on our plans, for you the baptised hosts, give what you can.

Yareli

Smoking a cigarette, left here on my mind, a lover's face at my bed, can anyone retain, dawn's unforgiving light, the way he's framed, he no longer bets, about time after fights, they havnt beat him yet, he is first to name, places it's wise to lie, and safer still to fade, a man beyond his stretch, who kisses out his time, dances with what's left, crossed beyond the pale, laughs beneath each sky, small wonder that he sails, colours bright as wine.

Ximena

Sometimes you can’t undo, what happens deep inside, his face hove’s into view, laughter in his blue eyes, when he asks me why, the moon's on the rise, a lover simole and true, he holds out the wine, draws a line at virtue, once he walked the line, found places safe to cry, explored the rushing tide, a man of rage and sinew, forget his sweet lullabies, it’s not an easy listen, in the stuff that chimes, his life is like a kite, a string the only rlde, twisted by sunshine.
