Song of Solomon, or Song of Songs, as it's also know, was very interesting to read. I mean, it's about physical love. Between a man and (one of) his wives. Serious I'M TOO YOUNG moments happened frequently. There was a lot of glistening. And myrrh, and spices. And "going down into your garden."
MAYBE I have a dirty mind. But that seemed an AWEFUL lot like innuendo to me. I'm just SAYING.
But all the don'tthinkaboutitreallydon'tthinkSEEItoldyoutoothat'syourownfault was worth it for these two verses. ^_^
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.
-Song of Songs 8:6-7
They make me happy.

But it's a metaphor, right? For God and his people? So it's kinda a physical love story to describe a spiritual love story.
HAVE you read it?
Twice.
Okay. :P I couldn't see past the goats and the spices to get to the metaphors.
Not sure I buy the whole metaphor-for-God's-love-for-his-people theory. I mean, I sure love you God, but not in that way. Can we still be friends?
I personally think it's just there to teach us that God likes dirty poetry too. :D
