The "NSFW" tag is probably overkill, but you never know who you might upset, etc. Call and response, two opposite gendered lovers, with several lifted passages from the Song of Solomon. Alternative title: "Old Testament Porn"
Song of Solomon (Blushing Blue)(February 22, 2022)
He: Open to me, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
I’m ready — free — open to thee, and seek to sip your dew
Our marriage bed, now that we’re wed, it welcomes me and you
She: A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
Myrrh, or not, - I am besot; your breasts offered to me
I am obsessed, fully possessed, as shortly you will see
He: The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman…Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor
My jeweled thighs, elicit sighs, when wrapped around you tight
My navel welcomes now your tongue, we wait not for the night
She: His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
My cheeks, for you — my lips are too; your spices too are strong
Aromas shared, no longer scared, in bed we both belong
He: This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples
Seize my fruit; no substitute, I’m glad they pleasure you
Climb my tree, envelope me, pollinate me anew
She: His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me
And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak. I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
Left or right, my hands delight, embracing you this day
Thy sweet wine lips, as my heart skips, keep me full in your sway
Them: Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death

This is like a mini musical play. Performance art with dramatic breaks into tunefulness.
Vivid and clever!

Fun write. And yes, there would certainly be some who would object, more's the pity.
