Sexual Poetry

Day 145: Song of Solomon 1-4

I like poetry. Words sewn together to form images of something is a beautiful art. And Song of Solomon, it seems to me, is a book of poetry, specifically poetry dedicated to a loved one. Sensual poetry. Sexual poetry. It almost makes me blush reading this book, but then I think about my own marriage and the beauty that comes through the sexual relationship I have with my spouse, and these verses make me smile. For I know the beauty that comes through sex in the marriage relationship, and I'm glad that the Bible acknowledges this, too.

I am Kara Poe Alexander. I began this blog to read the Bible anew, with fresh eyes and an open mind. I hope to grow closer to God, to learn how these ancient stories are still relevant today, and to develop a spiritual discipline of Bible study.
