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Superseded by no other need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

Human Nature

Human Nature

The burning of desire

The banishment of grace

The fall from heights so lofty

That it tangles with men’s fates

Aestheticism becomes you

And chastity is best

It’s hard to get in trouble

When you simply want to rest

But now to take it further

And heavenward and more

To be pleasured by the punishment

Attracted by blood and gore

We always take it too far

Can’t stop at satisfied

Heaven forbid we stay at even keel

Though it’s been a lovely ride
