The Beloved is the woman and The Lover is the man.v.3-4a Beloved
"Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you!...Take me away with you-let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers."
I do wonder why she used the word perfume;
What is it with perfumes and name?
As a woman I do love the scent of men.
I love hugging my brother for he always smells so good!
That actually relaxes me and gives me security for some reason.
But as of I know smell could also trigger something else in the heart of a woman.
That one is between lovers already. :)
So I believe that is one reason why women shouldn't stick so much to their boyfriends.
Physical touch plus Crazy emotions plus the scent of a man triggers something.
A note to women, they should learn how to keep their distance
especially when they're emotionally unstable towards their man.
Could it be that the scent of a man actually has a huge effect for sexual desires?
It is possible, but I am not completely sure.
I would, once I get married. :)
As of now, I should back off from physical touch towards men,
especially that I am single. :)
v.5a Beloved
"Dark am I, yet lovely..."
Dark am I, yet lovely this is the phrase that attracted me the most.
There's so much in this single phrase.
It brings out the real beauty of a woman, her insecurity, her self-image, her identity.
I believe that the 'dark' mentioned here isn't literally the color,
but the way a woman looks at herself.
There are a lot of women out there, including me, who has so much insecurities.
One of the major insecurity is her beauty, her looks.
For this, no matter how she sees herself in the outside,
she should be confident on what she has in the inside.
For me, Dark is the outside appearance, and lovely is the inner appearance.
"Let the inner beauty come out
and no matter how you look on the outside
you would be beautiful."
