Creed

Speak softly slowly love
I want to drink in your words
Make out of them my Creed
Follow you below and above
As if we two are bound by cord
Superseded by no other need

When you are cut I bleed
Your hurts are mine
This idea is more than a seed
Planted by the Divine
In you I place all my trust
Our fates are one in the same
Together and apart as needs must
Sharing life and name

It's always you I'm running towards
Our love is joined forever
Not to be parted by any sword
This love cannot be severed

Speak softly slowly love
Our love is joined forever

Misericorde

Misericorde

The cord stretches tightly and binds us

Across the oceans and plains

No matter how far the distance finds us

The truth quite humbly remains

Like a song written just out of tempo

Echoing with a crazy beat

I carry your soul as a memento

Of times when loving was sweet

Sometimes I lay and reminisce

Of days when gentlemen called

Being courted and feted and kissed

It can’t be as good as recalled

So return, wayfaring stranger

Show compassion by staying your hand

Relieve me of my danger

I beg of you, answer my command
