A Love Phrasis

A LOVE PHRASIS

-part 1

Draw me,run after me
look upon me,tell me 
who your soul loves.Kiss
me betwixt my breasts,stay
with me,comfort me.
The voice of my beloved
said to me arise my fair one
and come away,the winter’s
past,the rain has gone,the
flowers appear,shadows flee away.

part 2

Behold thou art fair my love,
thy lips,like a thread of scarlet,
comely of speech,there is no spot
in thee,thou hast ravished my heart,
how fair is thy love.
I sleep,but my heart wakes,my
head is filled with dew,my locks,
with drops of night.I rose up to
my beloved.A mouth is most sweet
yes , altogether lovely.
Thou art beautiful O my love,comely,
turn thine eyes away for they hast
overcome me.
She is the choice!
How fair and how pleasant art thou
O love,for delights.

part 3

Set me as a seal upon thine
heart,for love is as strong as death,
many waters cannot quench,neither
can floods drown it.

A Phrasis inspired by the poetic style of Song
of Songs.
