"Creeds"
~Verlaine
You believe in coffee grounds,
Tea-cup omens, gambler's chance:
I believe in your eyes' dance.
You believe in fairy tales,
Dreams and lucky days or ill:
I believe the lies you tell.
You believe in some vague God,
A special Saint who guards you here,
For so much sin, just so much prayer.
I believe in coloured hours,
Blue and rose, when your delights
Are bared for me through sleepless nights.
In all that I believe, my faith
Is so profound, so deep, so true,
That I can only live for you.
