I remember we were guests in my MIL's church. Very very very serious people. (The type of people who look like they think sex is d-i-r-t-y,)
Anyhow, with my 10 y/o son by my side the new pastor lets loose with a very colorful version of Song of Solomon. Very descriptive.
My mil almost died. I was embarrassed and I don't embarrass easily.

It is a love letter from King Solomon to his beloved. Ironic since he had 700 wives. or so.

from chapter one:
She
12While the king was on his couch,
my nard gave forth its fragrance.
13My beloved is to me a sachet of myrrh
that lies between my breasts.
14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
in the vineyards of Engedi.
He
15Behold, you are beautiful, my love;
behold, you are beautiful;
your eyes are doves.
She
16Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly delightful.
Our couch is green;
17the beams of our house are cedar;
our rafters are pine.

from chapter 5
2I slept, but my heart was awake.
A sound! My beloved is knocking.
"Open to me, my sister, my love,
my dove, my perfect one,
for my head is wet with dew,
my locks with the drops of the night."
3I had put off my garment;
how could I put it on?
I had bathed my feet;
how could I soil them?
4My beloved put his hand to the latch,
and my heart was thrilled within me.
5I arose to open to my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with liquid myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt.

Some Bible versions/editions (?) also refer to Songs as Christ's love for the church - based on the bride/bridegroom references, I think. Some fundamental groups basically dismiss it as OT-era porn, and tell people that while it is part of Scripture and therefore cannot be 'tossed', it should simply be ignored.

Sad, though. It is beautiful poetry and expresses a neat, passionate relationship between a husband and wife.
I like when she compares him to a stag. Always gave me the giggles.
My beloved is like a gazelle
or a young stag.
Look, there he stands
behind our wall,
gazing in at the windows,
looking through the lattice.

 Worst part of being a PK I would think! Sitting in the audience while your dad tells tales about your youth?? Holy heck that would suck.
I guess Solomon's beloved isn't from the deep south:
| Quote: | Your teeth are like a flock of ewes,
that have come up from the washing;
all of them bear twins,
and not one among them is bereaved. |
