First Love, and Song of Solomon

Love is a gift from God, a diamond
found in the midst of a raging storm
causing the heart to leap
with the joy Solomon found
when he proclaimed, to his maiden
(show me your face,
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
and your face is lovely.)
We, sacks of water, quicken
while the soul glows, verbose,
naked, unashamedly
bathing in the light of true liberty
sharing pleasure without guilt,
rose peddle smiles
apple scented lips.
Mutual, perfumed adoration
pouring like an endless brook
Longing and pain, retreating;
broken and defeated, taken
back to its' familiar resting places
to wither away--forsaken
and words alone,
can never tell the measure, of its` worth
so, count it all joy
-an unmerited favor, bestowed

I am hooked. :-) #EnoughSaid.
hey, Sparrowsong, nice comment, good biblical referenceย text, and yes `that Solomon` lol, ย was asked by my church to write and present a poem on first love, so I came up with this one, and being the generous person that I am, I decided to share;... humility just oozes out my pores sometimes, I`m only kidding, no hate mail lol....thanks again for comment, Sparrowsong...
Are you hooked, Bridgette, thanks, I think....hey I appreciate the comment, but I was hoping you had posted something of yours for me to read, but nada....I`ve alreadyย read my own boring poem....hey I like the tag ย EnoughSaid....got a basketball game to watch, Go Raptors!! ย cheersย
lol, thanks, sis,ย I really try not to be cynical, not easy for me....hey, your comments I enjoy, you really say something with them, encouragement is lovely but truly I don`t need or want that sort of cursory pat on the back, I am not a novice, I already know what I can do..... so when I see a comment from the premiere poet, I feel honoured that you take the time....this poem I recited in church a few months back, on the theme of first love, I`m feeling more at ease, with presenting poetry in church, a live audience has no filters, love that....I should really write more so-calledย spiritual poems, I like writing them, such an edifying experience to pick up the bible and focus on better themes, sadly my ego takes meย to dark themes, sometimes, mostly for practice, I lack discipline....yes, you`re right about love feeling no guilt in pleasure, true...thank you a million for amazing comment....cheers, sis ย
such a gorgeous write Chris. I am so hooked on your work.
