Oh, thoughts of You
are ever with Me
I hold You in My beating heart
You are as close to Me
as My very breath
Oh, how can I forget You My love
You give Me the strength to live My life
Oh, You have always been My deepest longing
When I sleep I dream of You
and when I wake I think of You
you are a dream that I long to dream
in all My waking hours
and when I wake I am so sad
to leave that lovely fantasy
Oh, You are a phantom of desire
there is a burning in My soul
that burns so brightly with My thoughts of You
an ardent desire lives in My heart
a love as old as time
and as young as a new born babe
Oh, I wish to plumb the depths of Your soul
why are You such a sparkling gem?
your mysteries are as deep as the sea
what gives Your pretty face its smile
and puts that twinkle in Your eye?
I am amazed
when You say My name
what tiny room in Your brain, in Your soul
held that name and brought it forth?
what makes You hold My hand?
and the love You feel?
Oh, mystery of mysteries
Oh, You are such a work of art!
such as a renaissance artist could never make
what Da Vinci could draw those lips
and what Michelangelo could paint those twinkling eyes
Oh, You are such a thing
as dreams are made of
such a beautiful unearthly dream
and You say, " But why do You love Me?
and not another?"
Oh, heaven and hell
and all the worlds in between
are within You
though I were to live
a hundred thousand years
I would have only begun to learn
what makes You You and not some other
Oh, You are beyond comparison
mystery to end all mysteries
Oh, My lovely dream
My phantom of unending desire
My soul is captured by You
I am drawn to You
as a moth to a flame
Oh, You are are My only and last desire
You My impossible dream
Oh, You are such a vision of delight
as though it were some drug induced haze
Oh, I cannot bear the thought
of Me without You
Oh, for such a bitter pain
as though it were a stone
scrapping against skinless flesh
Oh, such an impossible bitter love
to make Me think such thoughts
Oh, My love reject Me not
and condemn Me to such a bitter pain
kiss Me with a kiss of pure steel
and hold Me in an eternal embrace
and let Me live in Your arms
as the ages roll
and our love outlast eternity
