Oh, from where does  your fire come
for when  I gaze  upon you
I am seized by a hot passion
that seems to consume me
both body and soul.
Oh, for you have stricken  me
like lightening from heaven
and I am laid  low
as though I  were in my grave..
For all my life
and all  my dreams
that have come before
has become like a dream  within a dream
as  distant  and unreal  
as mythological  tales of hold
like Pan as he played upon  his pipe
and horses with snowy  white wings
that flew among  the clouds.
Oh, when  I look upon you
angel surround me
with  there shiny  wings of gold
and I am captured by   siren  song
as you sing a song not of earth
captured for an eternity
in your eternal now.
Oh, and yours I  will be
my life  and my soul
for an eternal  evermore.

Oh,  does the blood
that flows  in your veins
warm your heart for  the love of me.
Oh, when I wonder
along a  dark  moon lit  shore
if thoughts of love for me
live within
or  does within your breat
that temple of beauty so pure
live a numb   and nameless
a lump of cold  and loveless ice.
Oh,  lend  ear  to me
to hear  the plea  
" have  mercy  upon  one
such as me".
For  love that  lives
within the heart  of  the soul
lives forever
within an eternal soul.
Oh,  but for one
who never loves
that soul is but a dead
unborn thing
whose eyes shall  never  see
and those ears  shall never hear
and fingers  never feel
for the life of the body
is  but a illusion that quickly passes away
as dust  blowing in the wind.
Oh, let us live
as one eternal soul
in timeless embrace
that  outlives the stars
that  ever  shine
in the high vault of heaven.

Oh,  you haunt   me
lovely mysterious phantom   that you are.
You intoxicate me
as though  I  am a moth  before a flame
as to you I make myself ever  closer
till my soul burns  in your flame.
Oh, each beat   of your heart
is  a steel  cord
that binds  us in a lovers embrace.
Oh, what love  I feel
As though  your very blood
flows  withing.
Hearts beating   as one
and loving as one.
Oh, how  my  words
are a poor  substitute
for this passion   burning within.
Oh,  I  can feel your soul
that flowing through
and I am carried  away
on waves of passion
no  mortal  man  was ever meant  to bear.
And I drown   in the universe  of your charms.
Oh, ten   thousand   and one  fair  angels
and not  a one can hold a candle to you!
And  within your eternity  
a blessed one I shall  live
through endless blessed days.

Oh,  I had  dreamed
and  within  that world
an angel   came to life.
Oh,  you are that angel  who stole   my heart.
Oh,  is the world   that I dream real
when  I slumber  upon my pillow
do I awake  to you.
Or   are you a creation of my mind
like the lord created adam
from the sands  of the time.
Oh,  am I mad?
Or do  you  live somewhere
in this world of mine.
Oh,  the other day
as I walked along a crowded sidewalk
I thought I saw your face
But oh   when I turned back  you were gone.
Oh, I have seen a dream
come to life.
A creature  come down
from some  distant star  
I know not where.
Oh, haunted I am
by  a mystic lovely creature
that gives my soul its worth.
Oh,  for I know  you are an angel  created
when   the ancient of days
so  mingled the elements
and breathed into you
the beauty  of his soul.
My heart  you have taken
Oh, flower   of creation.
Oh,  my  poor  heart
a heart that is  one with you!
I  cease to  be as you begin.
Oh, though  mad  I may be
and  forever  lost in the endless maze of  mind
or  seen  the most beautiful  angel
that has  ever walked upon the earth
I know I shall  ever be haunted  by your  charms.

Oh,  your soul
Is as deep  and mysterious
as space  and time its  self.
Oh, how I yearn to plumb  those  depths
for your   mysteries   draw   me
into those infinite   depths.
Oh, the mysteries  
of your  heart
and of your soul
I know not how to fathom.
Oh,  my head  says to my heart
" calm and be still"
when all within  me
a storm  rages  
live  a million  demons
that fly   from the bottom from hell
screaming  there  vengeance
upon my poor soul.
For  I know  when  I gaze   into your   eyes
I am forever lost.
Oh,  without mercy  
your storm blows
and  I like   a ship of ghost
am forever at your mercy.
Oh, you are the ghost
that forever haunts    my soul.
Till this life
shall find   its way
to the icy  cold
of a lonely grave.

Oh, there   is a fire
Oh, the fire it burns   and burns
and my soul feels the force  of its fury!
Oh, your body   and your love
how they have carried  me away
and nothing on earth  is worth
your body   and your love.
your heat   how it burns me to the core.
Oh,  all  things   in my life
and all  things of the  world
I  have forgotten.
Let them  die
in a sea of forgetfulness.
Like  a knife  
you cut   my soul
and my heart is far gone from me.
Oh, I burn in your flame.
You are my new universe
the old is forgotten.
Oh, come with me
and we will ride
down the road of eternity.
Oh, my lovely drug
my deadly  intoxication
you have given   birth
to my reckless life
for the fear  of danger
I throw  to the wind
to win  you
my lovely   burning treasure.

Oh, how the heart of a woman
Oh, how it is a territory dark  and  mysterious
And your  love I have long sought
to  call all my own
long  I have pondered
to make you mine.
Oh, with your kiss
my heart is sealed  with an  eternal seal
impossible  to be torn  asunder
by any wild beast  
or power  in heaven or hell.
Oh,  my heart knows
things the head can never understand
so I call  you all  my own.
Oh, for you my life I would freely  give
for you a treasure  eternal.
Oh,  how my love overshadows
and seeks   your  pleasure  
all  the  days  and all the nights
as the   years  spiral   for season to  season
and thoughts of you
penetrate deep into my soul.
Oh,  how I know
this is how I shall spend my eternity
burning  within this flame
of my hearts love  of you.
