So Feminine
“You
are the royal daughter of the king
with
graceful sculpted legs and lovely feet,
the
work of craftsman’s hands, bejewelled with rings.
Your
scent is redolent, like meadowsweet.
You
taste like blended wine, magnificent.
Your
breasts are like two fawns, delightful twins.
Your
eyes are wells of light, so elegant.
Your
neck is beautiful, so feminine.
Your
hair shines as a royal tapestry.
The
king is captivated by your charms.
You
are my love; I love you ardently.
I
want to hold you close, within my arms.
The
kisses of your mouth are sweetest wine.
The
world delights in you, yet you are mine.”
(Ch. 7:1-9a)
