Oh, love is the key
to the soul of man.
For love is the beginning
and end of your being,
and where love is not
there is not life.
And you are the very life,
and the very soul of me.
Oh, you are the very flower
and source of creation.
And within you
I have my being
and all the life that flows within me
has its beginning in you.
Oh, the stars that shine down
from God's warm black velvet sky
speak to me of your name
and reminds me of all the love
that I hold for you
and my heart is filled to such overflowing
that I feel that it shall burst all asunder
and fill me with such longing
that I cannot bear.
And the Sun and moon
that rise over Earth's distant horizon,
oh how that rise
and seem to shine the light of your love
into my withered soul.
And I am changed
from the hopeless creature that I once was.
And I sing my love song to you
as I call to you to come and be my only love.
My love forever in your warm embrace
for time all immortal
and as long as my heart
and my being shall last.

Oh, if you could only
bring light and warmth
to the dark winter of my soul
and banish the eternal
of my grief for you.
And oh, how your cold heart
leaves me so forlorn.
Oh, the stuff of my life
is the live for you in my soul.
Oh, too many days
are gone and past
too many days without you
in my arms.
Oh, let the music of my heart
sing its eternal melody
of its longing for you.
Oh, too many days
I have been all alone
with this heart of mine
as it sings its sad song.
Oh, come my dear sweet love
and blend your heart with mine,
and we two can dance
to the silent song of our love
deep into the night
for all eternity
where time and our love
shall have no ending.

Oh, I am held captive by you
and I shall always be yours;
all my heart, and all my soul
and all of my being.
Oh, how an eternal flame
burns within my heart
and an eternal passion
and an eternal love
does ever rage in my heart.
Oh, I am connected to you
as though you were my other self
through bonds of eternity
that can never be broken.
and oh, how a great sadness  
envelopes me
when I know you are so far from me.
It descends upon me
like clouds of death
like clouds of pain
from the bottom of hell's eternal pit.
And oh, when I fear
the eternal lose of you
it is as though I had fallen
into a dark eternal pit
blacker than any eternal night
than on earth no man has ever known.
Oh, if that should ever be
than let this blood that flows through my veins
flow like a red river
a river of scarlet upon the ground
that disappears into the thirsty earth,
and let the sun
never shine upon this heart again.
Oh, you are the light, and the breath of my life.
For within you there is all life and blessing
and my soul can live again.
Oh; it is made to life again from the blessings of your love,
from a darkness darker than night.
Oh, how the blessings of your love
is like the soft cool east wind
that revives me after a hot summer's day,
and caresses me in its loving embrace.
Oh, without you
all my being shall be torn into an infinite nothingness,
and the death of my soul shall be complete.
Oh, I love you
like a mother love her only child.
And the tearing of all  my flesh
I would give,
and the breaking of all my bones
I would give
to make you mine.
Oh, let me not live
under the dark shadows
of a world that is not lit
by the light of the love in your heart
so that a cold chill
penetrates into the center of my bones.
Oh, love me forever
for without your forever
I shall die in a loveless never.
And the life that once flowed within me
shall eternally be no more
for I live by your love
and I live by your grace
through all of eternities rising and setting suns.

Oh, how I am lost
for all the want of your love
for your beauty is like an ocean
and I am forever lost I your lovely form
with all its beauty of such line and grace.
Oh, the things I would do for you
and all the things I would be for you
are for beyond the bounds
of thought for all
but the most insane of men.
Oh, you are like a tree
with a thousand kinds of fruit
each each to delight
all the senses.
Oh, the feel and smell
of your body
and the taste
of your sweat on the tip of my tongue.
Oh, the way you delight my senses
I cannot find the words to describe.  
Oh, how you delight all the depths of my soul
and my heart cries out for you.
Oh, pray for me
you angels that forever see the face of God
and forever sing his praises
and tell the holy one
of all the great love
I hold in my heart
for the woman
that forever lives in my heart.
Oh, the love I have
lives far beyond time
and all my understanding.
Oh, the deaths I would die
for you my love.
And oh, the things I would suffer
all for you.
Oh, your arms are love!
Your lips are love!
And the sweet warmth of your body
is love!
Oh, how you twist my brain
and cause my tongue
to lost all its understanding
for my words fly away
and I am left deaf and dumb
for how can I
tell of all your beauty
and describe this endless love for you
and I know
that without you
all of my heaven
and all my world
would end without you.
And my heart
forever seeks to embrace you
and my arms to enfold you
for a forever
that is beyond forever
till the universe grows cold and forgotten
and then all my love
shall live forever still.

Oh, how I labor to win your love
and when I think
of all the thorns
that have entered by flesh
and all the pain I have suffered
Oh, such pain I have suffered
I cannot count its cost
for it is great beyond all counting.
Oh, you have been a thorn in my heart
but oh how can I ever count the cost
of this hard struggle to win your love
for you are more precious to me
than all the precious things
and all the wealth of this earth.
Oh, my head cannot give its answer
to what the heart feels
for who knows the mysteries of the heart?
Why it loves one and not another
why it denies all logic
and grows such a passion
hotter than the hottest of fires.
Oh, you have taken hold of me
and have grown within me
such an iron passion
that from my heart shall never be torn.
Oh, you have ignited an eternal flame
within my soul
a flame that shall burn within me
far beyond
all the boundaries of infinite time.
Your memory
shall echo down all the halls of eternity
and I shall forever seek your love
and you name shall always remain upon my lips.
Oh, for my heart your memory knows no time.
And I will hold the memory
of the love upon your lips
and of your warm loving arms
and your song
shall ever remain my Siren call
till the end of infinite time.

Oh, my love of you
is like a fire deep within me
that rages and rages
beyond my control!
Oh, you are a vision
you are a phantom
burned deep within my brain.
Oh, you are the height
of all my wants
and of all my dreams.
Oh, my love of you
and my want of you
has surpassed all my love of life.
only your warm and tender arms
can heal the terrible pain
of my grief for you
when you are absent from me.
Oh, my Queen
Queen of my heart and soul
I have such a painful longing
to hold you within my arms
and sing you such a love song
that it would make the angels weep
and I would rock you to sleep
as though you were my only sweet child.
And the pain of my longing
knows no end.
Oh, to hold you! Oh, to hold you!
Oh, my precious
Oh, how you make me dream of you.
Oh, you are deeper within my heart
than any living thing has ever been
and so shall you ever be.
No government of man
nor all the angels in heaven
nor all the demons
from the deepest in  hell
shall ever pluck you from my heart
and so shall my love ever remain
for all the infinity of time.

Oh, my secret  love
you are like a vision
come down from the starry heavens.
Oh, you are an angel full of light.
You are an angel divine.
Oh, lovely angel
who has walked the green hills of heaven
how you are such a blessing to my soul.
Oh, you are the muse of my soul.
You bring this great love
into all the fibers of my being.
Your face dances and your lovely form
dances before me
in my sweet dream of you
and I call your name
in my feverish desire.
Oh, such a name
sweeter than honey upon my lips.
Oh, Selena.  Oh, Selena!
Oh, how your name shall forever
remain upon my lips.
Oh, your heart is a golden cup
and I long to drink from it of your love.
Oh, I am intoxicated with you!
You are a living and breathing wine
stronger than any drink ever known
or any wine that shall ever be.
You lips have captured my soul
and your lovely hair
that hangs like threads of silk
upon your shoulder
binds my heart
with threads that are stronger
than threads of steel.
Oh, my love for you
rages within my heart
with such a savage and boundless love
that calls for all your tender mercies
both night and day
and so shall ever be.
So Selena my dear love!
The name I call from trembling lips
and from the depths of my soul
and oh, so shall it ever be
till the sun grows cold
like a stone
and flames fall from the sky
and the for all time immortal.
