Songs of Solomon

These are verses from the Songs of Solomon that make me think of my marriage. My wife's words are in pink and my words are in blue.

[Song 1:2 ESV] Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine;

[Song 2:10 ESV] My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away,

[Song 2:16 ESV] My beloved is mine, and I am his; he grazes among the lilies.

[Song 4:1 ESV] Behold, you are beautiful, my love, behold, you are beautiful! Your eyes are doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats leaping down the slopes of Gilead.

[Song 4:3 ESV] Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely. Your cheeks are like halves of a pomegranate behind your veil.

[Song 4:7 ESV] You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.

[Song 4:9 ESV] You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. [10] How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your oils than any spice! [11] Your lips drip nectar, my bride; honey and milk are under your tongue; the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

[Song 4:16 ESV] Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits.

[Song 5:1 ESV] I came to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gathered my myrrh with my spice, I ate my honeycomb with my honey, I drank my wine with my milk.

[Song 5:2 ESV] I 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.”

[Song 5:16 ESV] His mouth is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

[Song 6:3 ESV] I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he grazes among the lilies.

[Song 6:4 ESV] You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners. [5] Turn away your eyes from me, for they overwhelm me—Your hair is like a flock of goats leaping down the slopes of Gilead.

[Song 6:10 ESV] “Who is this who looks down like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, awesome as an army with banners?”

[Song 7:6 ESV] How beautiful and pleasant you are, O loved one, with all your delights!

[Song 7:10 ESV] I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me. [11] Come, my beloved, let us go out into the fields and lodge in the villages; [12] let us go out early to the vineyards and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.

[Song 8:6 ESV] Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD. [7] Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.

[Song 8:14 ESV] Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
