In the Madness

In the madness of
My lustiness
The pinnacle-like heights of
My ocean-like cravings
Falling like a waterfall
Never ceasing at all;
Night or day,
In my thoughts and dreams
I write,
To none else than
The one whose worth
Far surpasses all things;
Precious and gracious
Whose name is beautiful
Who's bright and wonderful
My pride, my love
I can't write of you enough
Your voice is angel-like
You're altogether angel-like
An heavenly being, an angel you are
You're not pretty, you're beyond it by far
A fair goddess
The fairest, I'm sure
My joy, my love, my happiness and my pleasure.
You demand from me only heart
A sacrifice that I without prejudice offer
My only anger, my only pain
Is that I have not more than one to offer
And if you demand anything else
I'm here waiting, you should only ask
If it is in all places, the sun
I'll be the first or the only one
To ever from it, return alive
'Cause you my dear, are my life
To you this verse I humbly write
To express a bit of what's in my heart
Candle-like it is, a burning fire
Yet endless for you'll always be in my heart.
What has a beginning must have an end
That includes this piece of mine
So let me to this end
Thank heaven I'm yours and you are mine.
