You are the creed that I have been praying,
a belief that my tongue could not utter;
eyes closed—asking your name upon kneeling,
Son of Venus, let him be the answer
to my untold prayers of everyday,
quench this thirst by the chalice of his love
then I'd submit myself and won't betray
for he's the one I'm asking from above.
I'm the believer and you are the creed
I've been writing through the snout of  my pen;
a cordial scripture that I'll always read
and a litany I'd wish to happen—
You are my creed that I've loved to believe,
yet you're a belief that Cupid can't give.
