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Superseded by no other need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

No Baggage

Follow me to the ends of this earth
I guarantee you, things couldn't get worse
This whole world is filled with terror and pain
But my only thought is to see you again
Together we'll open people's eyes with mirth
We'll fill our home with love and birth
And as children and laughter spill down the lane
No longer will the world deign on our little reign

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"

Why

Why

Why do you go where I cannot follow?

This path is not one I trod lightly

I promised to go where you lead

But the behavior you choose is quite unsightly

I feel lied to remembering the things you said

Time will pass people will forget

I’m an elephant though, I never will

The scars you’ve left will heal so slowly

It’s amazing how raw a cut can feel

Reduce me to feeling so incredibly lowly

Mayhap one day I’ll smile and laugh

Remembering a look or a glance or a grin

Right now the scars are too fresh, too raw

To notice anything ready to begin

I must wait for my heart to thaw
