Oh, how the world
in its mindless way
spins endlessly
through this dark void.
Oh, like a cloud blown
by fierce  winds
by the storm of the soul
devouring all life in its wake.
Oh, how my soul
is unsettled
and all my peace
is driven far from me.
Oh, this darkness!
Oh, how this heart of darkness
seems to devour the earth
that stumbles to and fro
as though it were a drunken man.
Oh, how by  the light of your love
I can only find my way
to live in the house of love
that is your arms.
Oh, I am lulled into a sweet sleep
and in my dreams
I dream of you
and the world is filled
with the sweet sent
of your body
and the sweet aroma
of your breath.
Oh, to always remain
is my dream.
To always remain
in the paradise of your soul.
Oh, sleep with me
and fill my soul
with dreams of your love
that haunts me
like some mystic
and enchanted realm.
oh, and let me dream ever on
till the stars fall from heaven
and forever more.

Oh, why has  the heart
of this world of spinning clay
become so wicked
and as black as the darkest night
as though no light
has ever shown upon it
and none ever will?
Oh, why is forever heard
the laugh of the haughty wicked
who seem to laugh into the face of God
with a heart all full of pride
and a soul full of evil will?
Oh, to slay the downtrodden
and heap misery upon the poor.
Oh, how it seems
that love has gone away
upon swift and silvery wings
and man like some animal
ever seeks his own way.
Oh, the green grass
and the herb has all withered
and not a leaf remains
upon a tree.
Oh, for I have searched
and no love have I found.
Oh, how the stars
that glitter high above the earth
in heaven's dome
are filled with shame
of this base spinning ball of clay.
Oh, return to me my love
and let this creation
begin its healing.
Oh, let us walk once again
through starry skies
and pass through the ocean of time
in our ship of eternity
and when the sun's cycles
have all run their course
our love shall still live
on and on.

Oh, this grating noise
that I hear within my heart
this world this cacophony I hear within
has infected me
and had made all  the goals
that I have had for this life
worthless within me
and all that I hear
weighs heavily upon me.
Oh, when my soul
is overwhelmed
that I am thrown off
this course I ever seek to follow
and I fear all my mind shall break.
Oh, then your arms your arms
I seek my rest
and in your arms
all is well  and all is made right.
Oh, for I know
the wicked judgement
of this world can never touch
any fiber of all that I am.
Oh, in your arms
I know this mundane reality
can never touch my soul.
Oh, I am set adrift
upon a sea of heavenly love
of me for you
and you for me
where in eternal ecstasy
I shall forever live.

Oh, this is my heart
Oh, the heart that I have now
shall remain forever
for yours it shall forever be.
Oh, spring shall come
with all its young leaves of green
Oh, and spring shall by and by
fade to summer
and summer to fall with all its leaves of gold.
Oh, and all through the winter's cold night
with its blanket of snow
that lays cold upon the earth
like a sheet of death
as the cold winds blow.
Oh, but in this heart of mine
no change there shall ever be
for I eternally belong to you
and you forever belong to me.
Oh, how I hold you
like a priceless treasure  living in my soul
a precious jewel in my heart.
Oh, this labor of love
to win you my love
shall always be
for you are the only flower that blooms for me.
Oh, for a man
is more that blood and bones
for his life to be spent
foolish labors
by day and by night
for his flesh to be.
Oh, for I know
that your love is the very nectar of the gods
that quickens my body of clay.
Oh, my soul that lives within me
Oh, how it longs to be one with you
to sing its silent music
of a forever love
till its breath has gone
on the day that time shall no longer be.

Oh, this path I follow
this weary path that I am on
may lead no where
but to a life of dark shadows
or heaven so fair
and God's holy throne.
Oh, but this one thing I know
that though I take the road of shadows
or I take the road
that leads to God's holy throne
happy shall all my paths be
for in my heart I know
that you shall ever be mine.
Oh, there is a great mind
that created all
for you lovely creature
in all your beauty
and all your glory
could never be
if no great mind was over all
to bless me with your honey
and your sweet loving arms
that makes all the world full of glory and light.
Oh, you are the other half of my soul
and without you I would be a cold dead stone.
Oh, to you I shall ever belong
and to you my heart and soul are forever tied
and my love for you will never end.

Oh, my soul sings
a song that has lived in my heart
since my heart first began to beat
a song for the ages.
Oh, the life that lives within me
I no longer live for myself
but it is my love for you
that lives within me.
Oh, how you fill my memories
and my heart to its bursting
till my mortal frame
can no longer hold all that I feel.
Oh, and I know
that I shall never be the same again
for my old heart
and my old soul
has died long ago
when I first felt the magic
of your loving touch.
For you have penetrated my soul
down to the very fabric
of all that I am.
Oh, this river of scarlet
that flows within
knows that I no longer belong
to this dull and loveless
day to day world.
Oh, I have transcended
to another mystic and sacred life
where no shadows remain
and the silent music of love
forever plays within my chest.
Oh, this no longer seeks its self to please
but only you to protect and keep.
Oh, let me forever hold you
to my poor beating heart
and in my arms love you
for all eternity to come
as the moon passes through the night
along its starry way
through endless cycles
till time has burned itself to ashes
like an ancient movie
that has forever played in endless cycles of time
till all its images have worn away
and not even imagination remains
and nothing is left
but a blank page
and only eternity remains

Oh, there is a dark music
that plays within my soul
that is darker that the blackest night
like a song for the dead.
Oh, when I despair  
for a love that lives
deep within your heart
it seems as though
all the world has died
and all that is left
is but a hollow shell
that lives in a dread eternal night.
Oh, how I long
for your soft fingers upon my face
and the love of your life giving arms
and oh how I wish
for my heart to play a happy song.
Oh, a happy song
for the love
that grows for me
in your lovely beating heart.
Oh, how my life is devoid
of all its meaning
when there is a mystery
and doubts cloud my mind.
Oh, those dark doubts
for all those things
that have come to live within your heart
and the mystery of your soul.
Oh, how I wonder
if you love me still
or if you no longer dream of me
or if I am a thing long forgotten.
Oh, my heart grows ever fonder
when I consider all the memories
of you that play within my mind
and my soul is wed to you forever.
Oh, how it is forged made of flame.
Oh, made of such a love
with such depths I cannot measure.
Oh, wrap me once again
in your warm and soft loving arms
and let us dance our dance of love
till the mountains have all worn down
and the sky has spun its way into eternity.
