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!
