SS 7: They're In Love

Song of Solomon 7:10 "I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me."

A continued physical description. And a part of me wants to say, "Hold on a minute." Sure she's beautiful, but as Solomon said himself, beauty and charm are fleeting. Where's he going to be when they're both 80 years old? But this, Song of Solomon, isn't about that. When you write a love poem about someone, why bring that up? You want to focus on what draws you to someone in the first place. Song of Solomon doesn't need to be like Warren Barfield's "Love is Not a Fight." Both concepts work beautifully on their own.

This love is true, and they want to be in love with each other everywhere. They want to experience each other, to make love to each other. To experience the beauty of life with each other. And mandrakes. Which were believed to be an aphrodisiac, and improved conception. This wasn't a one-night stand. They wanted children. It was forever.
