A Creed
COURAGE to ask of love neither sign nor token,
Wisdom to wait, silence and faith are better;
Fear, not alone lest the bond be some day broken,
But, that love, too desperately dear, become a fetter.

Love's A Token (not Be Broken)
love's a token (not be broken)
when love come(s) around
true to calf my lover's ground
and tame me towards a love-a-dub
as if it were a lullaby
mara why?
and then!
love's a token
a promise not to be broken
my heart is like a token
my love is like a mountain
ever flowing like a fountain
you dearly caught be trapped with arms so open
for love's a token (not be broken)
thinking!
how often than not had i been caught
by someone as beautiful, pure and royal empress
her that were so genuinely carved
with respect and honor she deserves
to be treated to her desires
quick glance at her curves!
somebody once told me
that when love comes around
a token not to be broken it is

Will you wait for me?
My love is like a dim light
Flicker desperately to keep a hope
And there you are in front of me
Offering a hand to warm the cold
Will you wait for me?
Till I’m falling in love again
Because I don’t want to hurt you
With a false love
Will you wait for me?
Till I forget my other love
That has broken my heart
And lose my faith to move forward
My love is like a lost kite
Blown by merciless wind far far away
And there you are standing so strong
Show me a harbor when I search the direction
How long will you wait for me?
Till I’m falling in love to you
Because I never want to hurt you
With an empty hope
Do you really want to wait for me?
When the sound of distant thunder approach me
With dark cloud ready to strike hard rain
And I don’t know where to run away

O Love their Sits a Lion in the Gate
O Love their sits a Lion in the gate
My duty calls above my heart’s desire
Mortal conflict is for sure and cannot wait,
Speak not of peace amidst so great a fire.
Great winds from Eden burn the fair green land
Do we sit idly admits the boiling pot?
The approaching tempest will quickly be at hand,
And defiles the beauty of this very spot.
But my love your faith I will remember
And courage it gives against the lions might.
Your love for me preserves the burning ember,
Of courage growing strong throughout the fight.
Your faith in me will be my victory cry,
With you this mortal’s fear for now will die.
For you this mortal’s fear for now will die.

With faith with love
With faith with love
Start and go
Going on the road
With faith with love
Is to get success
Is to conquer.
With faith with love
Do not wait for time
Timing is not good
Time is no determining
Factor for anything
Do not wait for time.
Start and go
Going on journey
With faith with love
Is to reach where you
Want to reach
Start and go
With faith with love.
Your destination is here
Where I am
And I am fond of
Faith and love
Go and go with faith
With love
You are my near and dear.

Love Is...
Love is the abiding heart, willing to wait forever
For the time when it may be together
With its counterpoint in that of another;
Love is a bond that neither time nor
Distance may cause to alter,
Nor manner of travail, cause to falter.
Love is a patience, derived through faith and hope;
Love is the hidden strength, which allows you to cope
With all that life may choose to render;
Love is a warm embrace, reassuring and tender;
Love is courage, in the face of immense fear;
Love is pure beauty, sans compeer.
Love teaches, learns, builds, and shares;
Love is singular-yet when true, binds perfect pairs;
Love is selfless, humble, and ceaseless-
It is omniscient, omnipresent, and ubiquitous;
Love self-perpetuates-it begets more of the same;
Love is the imagined fire that you may never tame;
Love is the commanding General in my positivity's army-
This benevolent brigade ensures naught may harm me;
Love empowers, enables, and inspires-
It creates, betters, dotes, and admires;
Love fashions reality, from the scape of dreams-
Love is all you ever need, or so it seems.
There is naught that may be placed above-
'The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.'*
Without love, you may do naught-
With love, you have all that for which you sought!
* Galatians 5: 6

Love Came Down at Christmas
Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, love divine;
Worship we our Jesus:
But wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token,
Love shall be yours and love be mine,
Love to God and to all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.

Faith and courage
Faith and courage is something that
I love now
Its my new phrase that my mouth speaks
Faith and courage is my new term in my
life.
Its very simple like the song from my heart.
Please-
Please dont judge those words
They are my music notes from the music I have
wrote.
Faith is my belief and courage is my steps.
So let me die with faith and courage because
they are unexplained.

It's Burning Inside Me
Oh dear god,
If you were in heavan you'd laugh at the times I've reached out for you,
It seems kind of pointless when you're as ignorant as me,
Faith comes as easily as love for me,
It's only in my life once,
And I feel it's pointless to have someone screaming you words at me to get them through my head,
I've grown tired oh 'waiting for a sign or a miracle',
It makes to sick to think I was foolish enough to waste my time and even wait,
And still to this day I have no faith,
No faith in love,
No faith in me,
No faith in family,
No faith in you,
It's kind of pathetic because I wish I could be able to think positively about things,
I know it sounds sort of bright,
But when I feel like the world has gave up,
I can stand tall and be glad I don't put my hopes in things like this,
But on the inside I can't stand myself for being so emotionless about it.

Strength, Courage, Wisdom
Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun
Behind my eyes there lives a me that Ive been hiding for much too long
cause Ive been, too afraid to let it show
cause Im scared of the judgment that may follow
Always putting off my living for tomorrow
Its time to step out on faith, Ive gotta show my faith
Its been illusive for so long, but freedom is mine today
Ive gotta step out on faith, its time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found
Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And its been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Behind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility
Inside my voice there is a soul, and in my soul there is a voice
But Ive been, too afraid to make a choice
cause Im scared of the things that I might be missing
Running too fast to stop and listen
Its time to step out on faith, Ive gotta show my faith
Its been illusive for so long but freedom is mine today
Ive gotta step out on faith its time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found
Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And its been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Bridge
I close my eyes and I think of all the things that I want to see
cause I know, now that Ive opened up my heart I know that
Anything I want can be, so let it be, so let it be.
Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Its been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, wisdom
Its been inside of me all along, everyday Im praying for
Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
To find me, yeah,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Vamp
I found it in me, I found it finally
Im sure to keep it cause I like it, I say thank you

Love is………..
Love is why I live,
Love is what I believe
Love is a reason to die for,
Love is a reason to cry for…….
Love is a longing desire,
Love is the dwelling fire
Love is my broken heart
Love is a new phase and a new start…….
Love is the spark in my eye,
Love is the toughest lie
Love is a shattered dream
Love is a painful scream……..
Love is the blood in my veins,
Love is the autumn and the rain
Love is a cold feeling
Love is something worth stealing……..
Love is a broken wing,
Love is a mystic sting
Love is like a fallen feather
Love is like the prevailing weather……….
Love is when,
There is no worry, no fear
Love is what,
I feel for you dear! ! ! !

Broken Heart
Broken heart do not cry
Broken heart the love will come.
Broken heart do not fear
Broken heart the love is your near
Broken heart the

Soon or late will come your near
Broken heart do not lose faith
The real love will find your way
Broken heart glory days are near
And love soon will be here
To wipe away all your tears

The Love Sonnets Of Proteus. Part III: Gods And False Gods: LXIV
HE APPEALS AGAINST HIS BOND
In my distress Love made me sign a bond,
A cruel bond. 'Twas by necessity
Wrung from a foolish heart, alas, too fond,
Too blindly fond, its error to foresee.
And now my soul's estate, in jeopardy,
Lies to a pledge it never can redeem.
Love's loan was love, one hour of ecstasy,
His penalty eternal loss of him.
--See, I am penniless, the forfeit paid,
And go a beggar forth from thy dear sight,
My pound of more than flesh too strictly weighed
And cut too near the heart. Fair Israelite,
Thy plea was just. Thy right has been confessed.
And yet a work of mercy were twice blessed.

Just Couldnt Wait
I miss her face, but the girl left seven years ago.
Guess I never shouldve let her go.
Thats how I feel because I love her so.
But Im afraid that she will never know.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til some day.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til some day, til some day.
Oh, tell me now, where do the broken-hearted go from here.
You missed her love and now youre steering clear.
I aint afraid of nothin but my fear.
The fear that she might see this rollin tear.
She just couldnt wait, she said she couldnt wait til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
Oh she couldnt wait til sunday no, til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til sunday.
She just couldnt wait, my baby just couldnt wait, no.
She said she just couldnt wait.
You know she just couldnt wait, no.
She said she couldnt wait til sunday, til sunday.
Oh, oh...

Youre Gonna Love It
(cydney davis/lloyd tolbert)
We have been together much too long
God has given us a special bond
Lets take it and make it last forever
You have given me so much respect
You put your love for me above all else
Understand, youre my man
Cant wait to show you
What Ill do
When I say I do
Ill do it just for you
Youre gonna love it
Think its time for us to set a date
So much harder for us both to wait, so long
Its getting strong
And I cant hold it
I know this kind of love is heaven sent
And Ive got faith that this was always meant to be
You and me
And I cant wait to show you
What Ill do
When I say I do
You know my love is true
Youre gonna love it
What Ill do
When I say I do
Ill do it just for you
Youre gonna love it
Ive got a vision
Of passions burning fire
Ive made a decision
To give you all your desire
Ive been thinking bout loving you
All night, all day, aint gonna give you a break
Our honeymoon will last forever
I hope that youre in shape
For what Ill do
So what you want me to do?
I know this kind of love is heaven sent
I got faith that this was always meant to be
You and me
I cant wait to show you
What Ill do
When I say I do
You know my love is true
Youre gonna love it
What Ill do
When I say I do
Ill do it just for you
Youre gonna love it
What Ill do
When I say I do
You know my love is true
Youre gonna love it
What Ill do
When I say I do
Ill do it just for you
Youre gonna love it

Desparately
Every night its the same
I hear you callin my name
Youre lyin next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms
I realize its just a dream, but
Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day
I make the coffee for one
I turn the radio on
Pretend that everythings ok, but
Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Know theres no reason to smile
Its gonna take me awhile
Cause I still love you desperately
Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Watch the sun goin down
There aint nobody around
I feel a night in the breeze
I keep on tellin myself
I dont need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but
Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Desperately I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now
Every night its the same
I hear you callin my name
I still love you desperately
I still love you
I still want you
I still love you desperately

I Fear Everything, My Dear
I fear everything, my dear,
Though I am sad to say.
I fear many a thing, my love,
Regretfully you among them.
I fear all emotions of life, my sweet,
They cloud better judgement.
I fear, I'm sad to say this dear,
But I can never love you,
No matter how much I want to.
I fear everything, my dear,
Though I wish it wasn't so.
I fear many things, my love,
And you scare me as well.
For I fear all emotions, my sweet,
And you make my heart sing.
But I can never show my weakness,
That my biggest fear of all,
Is ever losing you.

With You I Will Never Be Alone
When the clouds have rolled in, on my sunny day
I can always count on you, to push them away
I can lean on you and you will still stay strong
And find that light, when all the hope has gone
You lift me up
Higher then i've ever been
You give me love
More love then i've ever seen
You give me courage
Courage when all my faith is gone
With you
I will never be alone
Before i sleep at night, i always think of you
You're in my dreams the whole night too
And when i wake, you're on my mind again
You're my very best friend
You lift me up
Higher then i've ever been
You give me love
More love then i've ever seen
You give me courage
Courage when all my faith is gone
With you
I will never be alone
I really mean it
With you i will never be alone

First, you must know what love is.
Love is Trust
Love is a Team
Love is an Effort
Love is a Bond
Love is a Vow
Love is Life
Love is Strength
Love is Expression
Love is Faith
Love is a Game
Love is Want
Love is a Connection
Love is Honesty
Love is Togetherness
Love is Equality
Love is Respect
Love is an Agreement
Love is Commitment
These are just some examples of what I think is love. I know that there is many more. But love is a word that says much more than just one.
