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Superseded by no other need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

Ditto

"I want to follow where you go"
Trail you through the dawn
All I can do is wait and trust
Even when I fall, I will rise
Perhaps this time, I will listen
The words are whispered and I intend to hear
No offer too obscure, This will leave my heart undeterred
A simple phrase repeating, "My soul is full"
Now it seems noises, hearts, dreams, and even time has stilled...
"Ditto"

Purgatory

She wears him like a badge

An honor to be boasted

A feather in her crown

For a queen she surely is

Never a hair out of place

Or a word that is misspoken

She never does anything

To make a person frown

I can’t find fault with her

And trust me I’ve been looking

I understand her pain

He’s always on my mind

But who can compete

With runway gods and models

I’ll have to look for love

Down here in purgatory

Us sinners in the real world

Must keep among ourselves

Slander

No one is made to be perfect

Everyone is made to be strong

When we tear each other down

We only destroy ourselves

Our foundations are built of trust

Lies serve only to obliterate

Viciousness and slander are the tools of the weak

Helping them only to fall further

We must stop trying to top and topple each other

Together we can reach the stars
