Oh,  some say that death is the greatest evil
and that the life of this body of clay
is a treasure above all other treasures.
Oh, but those who have known what it is to love
know that love is the very life and breath of the soul
for without love the body only lives on
as some purely mechanical thing
its existence without rime or reason.
It is ruled only by mindless mechanical reflexes
and yet it lives on without rime or reason.
Oh, don't you know
that those that do not love
do not live?
For then the spirit of life
had left the soul
and leaves it to live without rime or reason.
Oh, love is the power
by which the universe live
and with it God makes the stars shine.
And by it lovely  delicate butterflies
swim through the sky
their wings like flowers in the air.
Oh, my heart is like some bottomless well
in which swim all my passion
and all my memories of you
like fish in the sea.
And oh, my heart must be more bottomless than any sea
to contain all my passion and love for you
and all my fond memories of you.
Oh, without you I am nothing
and nothing I could ever be
but a mere shadow
that had nether form nor substance
and vanishes upon the break of day.
Oh, to me you are more holy than the holy angels!
And you shall forever live within this heart!
Oh, for I know that my heart has touched an angel
and I no longer belong to this earth
with all of its petty jealousies and hatreds
for your love has touched my life.
And all the words and all the thoughts
that have ever passed through my mind
and every beat of my heart
has but one reason to be.
Oh, that is to live all my life
for you my dear love
and to love you
with every particle and fiber
within my soul.
Oh, you are a love song
that was made for the ages
that my heart must forever sing.
Oh, lovely is your flesh
and oh, lovely is your soul
and lovely is the life that flows within you!
Oh, I shall forever that love song of you!
For all long as God makes that stars to shine
and then forever into God's sweet eternity.

Oh, my love my love.
Oh, how the strings of my heart
plays a love song
that only our two hearts can hear.
Oh, my love speaks to you
from the depths of my being.
Oh, for all that I am is in love with you!
Oh, you are the wonder of the ages
and I know the angels sings your name.
Oh, how your name is softer and sweeter
than a million honeycombs
for it brings all that you are into my mind
and I remember your lovely frame
and my passion burns like a furnace for you!
Oh, how you are as soft and sweet as a butterflies wing
as you caress my face with your loving fingertips.
Oh, when I lay in soft slumber
holy images of you
pass through my turning mind
and in my dreams
I hold you my love
in my arms in an eternal embrace
for I know I love you
with every fiber that makes my soul.
Oh, and I know that without you
there is no life
within my heart and soul.
And I like a shadow
am but a mere worm
that crawls through the earth
in all its darkness.
Oh, when I awake.
Oh, how a deep sadness engulfs me
for you are not within my arms.
Oh, there are many men
that ever seek silver and gold
but I seek my treasure
my dear love
within your loving heart.
Oh, come with me my love
and let me take you far away
from this dark world
into the land of love.
Oh, and there let us forever live
in our heavenly bliss
and in our eternity of love.

Oh, when these pains of life
engulf me and hunt my soul
and I have become like a frightened deer
fleeing from the bow of the hunter
and there is no place to find my rest
then I seek your love
like a starving man seeks food for his body.
Oh, then only love can comfort me!
Oh, when the sky turns as hard and dark as iron
and stones rain down from the sky
oh then only love can comfort me!
Oh, when I lay upon a bed made from the finest silk
and all the world lay at my beck and call
only then love can comfort me!
Oh, all the days that live in my memory
that I have trod upon the earth
as my feet have trod the burning sand
searching this barren earth for a heart
that would to me ever be true
giving my life meaning
in the face of a cruel meaningless world.
Oh, to me such a heart is a holy cup
into which I pour all my hopes
and all my love.
Oh, such a wine of pure passion
and pure love
that I would flow from my longing heart!
Oh, to drain all my being into that heart's lovely cup!
For all my passion and all my longing and all my love
oh how it is the very fabric of all that I can.
Oh, you are the only rose
that grows within my heart!
And all that I can is so in love
with all that you are!
Oh, the day I first found you
is the day that my soul was born once again
in all its fiery passion!
Oh, how my body trembles to your soft electric touch
and ignite all this hopeless longing in my heart!
Oh, I am so hopeless without you
that it is better for me
that I had never been born
than see  all your love
and all my hope slip forever away!
Oh, how your love burns all my fears away!
And my passion takes me higher
than all the dreams my sleeping soul
has ever given birth to.
Oh, you are like a dream sweeter
than all the wine
and potions that are made to comfort the soul
could every weave within my slumbering brain.
Oh, high above the clouds and these starry skies
I find my holy bliss with you!
Oh, only in the love of your arms
can  I find my eternal home
the treasure my heart has always longed for.
And only in you can I find the love
I have always searched for
in my life upon this lowly earth.
Oh, my love for you shall last
till the heavens turn to dust
and the earth crumbles away.

Oh, you bless me with your holy kiss
and brings to my soul
all the bliss that all my heart can hold.
Oh, you play like a harp
upon my heart
with your loving angel fingers
and oh the music you make upon the strings of my soul.
Oh, that music the resounds
within my immortal soul
was never meant for mortal ears
nor for a mortal heart to hold.
But oh how I know
that you are some angel
from heavens celestial realm.
Oh, you are a piece of heaven
that has fallen to earth
and filled my mortal coil
with heaven's beauty and grace
and kindled in my heart
such a love
as to fill me with  such a longing
that I must have your love
or die in my sickness and sorrow.
Oh, when I think of your beauty
and all the love
that I seek to win from your heart
I am consumed by such a passion
that it seems a raging inferno
must live within me.
Oh, the perfume of your body
and soft warm breath
when you hold me close
the raptured embrace of love
that brings me such sweet ecstasy
that it seems I have touched the high starry heavens.
Oh, I can see eternity in your arms
and forever is in your kiss.
Oh, you are an ancient mystic love song
that forever sings soft and silent words
into my heart.
Oh, in your love
I have once  again become a living man.
Oh, you have created me from a shadow
with a love that cannot understand.
A love that is life.
A love that is the source of all that I am.
Oh, your breath is like music
so warm and soft and low.
It caresses my cheek
and makes such sweet love to my body
that I feel you in every breath.
Oh, because of  your sweet love
I can forever touch the face of God.
Oh, I have sworn a holy oath
that my love for you
shall always remain
till the rocks crumble to dust
and all that is shall be no more..
Oh, I know
that whatever may come
and whatever may go
that my love for you
shall live on and on
as the infinite ages
roll like an endless river.

Oh, my love
you are perfect
every line and symmetry
is such a work of art.
Venus in all her glory
could never in all the infinity of time
match you in all your loveliness.
Oh, your lovely face and form
lights a holy fire within my soul.
Oh, the burning eternal flame of my passion
rages within me.
I no longer have control
over my mind and heart and soul.
Oh, and this passion drives me on
to never ending heights
of desperation and folly.
And yet still this raging inferno
is never satisfied
and never sleeps.
Oh, like God's eyes
my passion never sleeps!
Oh, my love for you
has forged its chains!
Oh, invisible chains
that are stronger
than any binding thing on earth.
It is stronger than the strongest steel
that draws me like hooks
into your heart.
Oh, you are like the sun
that ever shines
the blinding light of your love.
For there is no living thing
that you do not love.
Oh, all of God's creation
you hold within your heart.
Oh, how can I not love such
a one as you!?
For you are not just beautiful
you are beauty!
And I know my heart shall
always belong to you
for as long as I shall ever be.
I can feel even now
your soft embrace
and the touch of your warm lips.
Oh, if  I could but win
your precious heart!
for there is no other jewel
so wonderful
as you my precious one.
Oh, for I can feel the cool breeze
that washes over me
and fills me with love
that no one can ever express.
Oh, I can feel the cool breeze
from the beat of your angel wings!
Oh, it reminds me
of your soft delicate fingers
as they caressed  my face
speaking such volumes of love
that no earthly poet
could ever write.
Oh, how can I express
and how can I find
the words to tell
of all my love for you.
For it seems that my words have wings
and oh the moment they fly from my lips
they are gone like echos
on some still moonless night.
Oh, I love you!
Oh, how I love you
like a mother loves her dear child.
Oh, and how my heart aches!
Aches with all my longing for you!
Oh, my heart longs for you
like a dog longs for his master.
Oh, you are all to me!
And this fire shall burn
forever for you.
Oh, forever!
For a forever that shall never die!

Oh, you saved me from my self!
Oh, I was so alone
and my heart
was so full of darkness
and shadows lived within my heart.
Oh, it seemed that I was
but a creature of shadows
and my eyes
had never seen the light of day.
As though I lived
in eternal night
and my heart was only
ice and steel
and I was but a dark and ****** thing.
Oh, but that was before
the blinding light of your love
shined upon me.
And all the dark things
that lived within me fled away.
For your love
had given birth to my soul anew.
And in that moment
I knew the meaning
for the being of my soul
and the meaning of all creation
and my heart shall forever beat
and my soul forever long
for you my dear love.
Oh, for without you
I know I am a worthless thing
condemned to live
this life of a shadow
in the bottomless grave
so icy cold.
Oh, your love
calls to me!
It draws me
as though it were
some silent siren!
Calls me ever into your arms
where I am saved
by the power of your love.
And I am become your slave
till the end of time
I know.
Oh, I know your love
keeps me safe
from the cold power
of this loveless world
and bathes my heart
in its warm glow.
Oh, I know
that though my flesh
maybe so  tattered and torn
that it hangs form my body
like ****** red ribbons
because of you
no power on earth
or in all this starry universe
can ever touch my soul
and can never take your love from me
and return me to the dark thing
that I was.
Oh, I give my love forever to you
for as long
as man can ever love woman
and woman can ever love man
and myriads of universes
and born and live
and pass away
you shall live within my loving arms
for as long as forever
shall ever be.

Oh, what is life?
Is it but meat and bread?
Or is it but your bones and flesh?
Oh, if I cannot love
am I not but a mechanical thing?
And I harsh dry wind
would blow over lifeless
desert lands
within my soul.
Oh, I would but be a shadow
of the man that I am.
Oh, how you give such life
to my soul.
When you hold me
in your loving arms
and kiss my hungry lips
that so hunger for the love you give
then my soul
becomes like a lush garden.
As lush and fragrant
as the Garden of Eden
when the earth was young and new.
Oh, how you give life to my soul!
Oh, you fill my mind and body and soul
with a life so overflowing
that the bonds
of this poor mortal coil
cannot contain all my immortal passion.
Oh, my love for you is an eternal flame
that burns in the very center of my being.
And every fiber of me
sings you a love song.
For my heart is forever yours
as though it beats
with your blood
and not mine.
Oh, this love is an ever burning thing!
An ever burning thing
that will not let me rest
till I am forever
in your warm and loving arms
and safe within your love.
And my soul is forever burning
in my passion for you.
that drives me forever on
to win your love
or die in the shadows
of a loveless existence.
Oh, I seek the eternal blessing
of love within your arms.
For I know
there is no life without your love.
For as breath is to the body
so is your love ever to my soul.
And all the wealth of this world
can never outweigh
all the riches
I find in the love
that I seek from you.
Oh, how this heart
within my mortal coil
forever beats its love song
to you
for as long as forever
shall live.
