Oh, how you are such a lovely exotic creature
come from some foreign land
all for worlds unknown.
Oh, such a form and grace
that my fingers grow numb
and the words do fail me
to tell of such a heaven born creature.
but oh, yet how you torture me so
with such a longing beyond words.
Oh,  how it consumes my soul
to feel that heavenly touch
and caress those exotic lips.
Oh, I am your slave!
A slave who has known no chain
but how you bind me more than any chain.
A slave who has never known the lash
but oh, how I am tortured so
for the want of your love.
Oh, you are the very thing of life
and my heart beats only
in the beating of your heart
in perfect rhythm to my love for you.
Oh, I can never free myself from you
nor would I ever wish it so
for you are a song of such lovely notes
that all creatures hearing it
are forever your captive.
Oh, the lake of tears
I cry upon my pillow
and the visions that pass through my head
when I see you in my dreams
as I lay upon my bed.
Oh, you are such an enchanted lovely tune.
You are a treasure I hold in my heart
the very first rose of creation.
Oh, how I will wet and wash
your feet with my tears.
Oh, how I am lost!
Oh, so forever lost in my deep love for you!
Oh, the sun and moon do rise and set
casting there light upon earth below
and how this world does pass from season to season
but oh, there can never be any change in my love for you.
Oh, how you are by turns a thorn to ***** my heart
and a pair of lovely lips to caress my soul
but my heart shall ever remain in your embrace.
