Debts

One coin to cross the river
Two coins glinting in your eyes
Three coins to bribe the Father
Four coins settle all your lies
Five coins to pay the Piper
Six coins more to pay his son
Seven coins chime in laughter
Eight coins buried serve no one
Nine coins full to count the cost
Ten coins, and one is Lost

Expanded Variant: 

One coin to cross the river,
Tasting copper on the tongue.
Two coins upon the eyelids
Keep your sight forever young.
Three coins can buy three wishes
Freely given, never spent.
Four coins, by blood anointed,
Pay a humble sinner's rent.
Five coins' return investment
Is still halfway to being done.
Six coins to pay the Piper,
Seven coins to pay his son.
Eight coins to make a dollar,
Treasure still not worth the cost.
Nine coins present a problem:
Ten coins, and one is Lost.

Love is Love is Love is Love

Love's a logo on a placard
Love's a neon rainbow sign
Smile, love, and be a braggart
Tell the world, and let love shine

Love's a barrier, love's a mask
Love's a question yet unasked
Hold your love, and say you're blessed
Love's not even happiness

Love's a lie that we all fall for
Love's a neat tautology
Love's a lie that there's a call for
Love's the thing that'll set us free

Love's a smile, love shows teeth
Love's the thing that lurks beneath
Love, and keep your lover near
Love is love is love is fear

Tell us love will be forever
Tell us love will fell all foes
Tell us all the lies, but never
Tell us what a lover knows

Love won't feed us, love won't warm
Love can't keep us safe from harm
Love me dear and count the cost
Love is love is love is loss

Love's a body on a dance floor
Love's a word that rhymes with hate
Love's a hope we took a chance for
Said 'love' out loud, and faced our fate

Love is cruel, love is blind
Love is frequently unkind
Love draws blood and love draws breath
Love is love is love is death

Love's a split lip, love's a suture
Love's a routine tragedy
Love's our past, and love's our future
Love is love, inevitably

Love is burning, love is brief
Love is joy and love is grief
Love is struggle, love is strife
Love is love is love is life
