Unique

Beauty is truth
So don't lie about it
Music is joyful
So don't make it mourn
Our bodies are holy
So don't defame them
Thoughts are precious
So don't scare them away
Words belong to everyone
So don't try to claim them
Take only what belongs to you
Allow others their own uniqueness

Duty

Duty is not the dull word it seems in your mouth
It is a joyful thing, full of patient love and caring
Knowing what is right and making sure that the goal is achieved
Taking care of those who cannot take of themselves
Loving without thought of reward or reciprocation
Thinking of others above yourself
We share a duty to each other
Let us make a joyful duty

Haunting

In a wave of memory
A scent drifts past me
I knew you couldn't quit it
I knew you couldn't quit me
Haunting me in bursts
Shame I thought of it first
I wish I could quit you
I wish I could quit this
Painful and joyful the same
I'm dying to call your name
I fall over and over for you
I fall each minute for you
Souls forever bound
In your heart I'm found

Mercury's Vow

Mercury’s Vow

And all my sorrows turn to joys in times unlikely number’d

But quickly end with willful sighs to turn smiles e’now

A joyful look, I quickly took as e’re I turn my head

By Mercury, I pledged my vow

I wish only to live in the here and now

Never have meanings wrongly misread

But what will come of this sacred vow?

In public I will not one glistening teardrop shed

Only happy or pleasant face allow

Not to belie or fool, ‘tis that I dread

Br Mercury, I pledge this vow!
