why do women leave a man ?

- You met an incredible woman, and you really hit it off at the beginning. But the more time youspent with her, the less interested she became...but the MORE interested you became.

You could feelthe balance of power shifting, but there was nothing you could do about it. Eventually she just stopped seeing you, but she never explained why ina way that made any sense...

- You were seeing a woman for several months,maybe even a year or so. Everything seemed fine.But then one day she came to you and said, "Idon't know how I feel anymore, and I just need some time ALONE... some time to 'find myself'...it's not YOU, it's ME"... but, her time "alone"turned into her seeing some other guy that didn't treat her half as well as you did...

- You were in a serious long-term relationshipthat had lasted more than a couple of years, andyou were with the woman you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with. Sure, you had your problems, but you knew that you'd always workthrough whatever came up, and she would stick by your side forever. Out of nowhere, she started acting strange... she started to become more controlling and angry... no matter how hard youtried to make her feel better and do nice things,it only got worse. They she dropped the bomb that she didn't love you anymore, and she was leaving. Or maybe she cheated on you, then told you as her way of breaking up... ...of course, there are a million variations of these basic situations, but I'll bet you can identify with one of them. I can identify with ALL of them. In fact, I've been through each of them... some more than once.

And I'll tell you... I can remember the PAIN and the DESPERATION I felt each time. I mean, it SUCKED. I hated it. Probably the WORST part of it was the feelingof POWERLESSNESS that went along with each time. It's bad enough having the woman you like or love leave you... but to have to ALSO deal with the fact that you don't know how to change things,and there's NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT is justplain depressing. Again, if you've been there, nod silently withme...

Now let's talk about how to AVOID this kind ofthing in the future. THE PROBLEM ISN'T WHAT YOU THINK The first thing you must realize in this type of situation is that the problem you're dealing with isn't what you THINK it is. Most guys naturally assume that the woman is leaving them because he's not being "nice" enough,or he's not giving her what she wants, or he's notbeing a good boyfriend... etc.

Or they assume that this is just "one of those things that happens", that "feelings change" andthat there's really nothing he could have done anyway. Well, these ideas, and almost all the othersthat most guys think, are DEAD WRONG.

So STEP ONE is for you to realize that what you THINK you know is WRONG. Throw it out. Start over, and open your mind to a new way of seeing things. I'll share more on this later. YOU CAN'T SOLVE IT WITH MORE OF THE SAME Now I want to talk about what NOT to do. I know that this is going to sound pretty obvious, but if what you're doing isn't working in a particular situation, you need to STOP. Don't keep doing what's not working.

In other words, if the woman you love isbreaking up with you, and you've been being niceto her, doing whatever she wants, and telling herthat you'll do anything to make it better... ifonly she'll stay... then STOP. Stop doing that. Whatever it is you're doing that isn't working ISN'T WORKING. Duh. So stop it immediately.

More of the same is only going to get you more of what is happening.WHY ATTRACTION IS SO IMPORTANT One of the main reasons why I talk about and teach the concept of ATTRACTION is that when itcomes to these types of situations, the REAL underlying reason for them is usually that thewoman doesn't feel ATTRACTION anymore. When it all boils down, she just plain does not FEEL IT. Now, a woman will say and do all kinds ofthings OTHER than telling you that this is theproblem.

Women have all these ideas in their heads, like"I can't tell him how I REALLY feel because Idon't want to hurt his feelings" and "I can't tellhim what's going on because I don't want toemasculate him" and "It's just easier if I just goaway". Love it. But when you take away all of the B. S., andyou get right to the core of what's going on,you'll usually find that it all boils down toATTRACTION... or, more specifically, the LACK ofATTRACTION.

I'm going to say something that's pretty boldright now. Get ready. If you do not know how to make a woman feel theGUT LEVEL physical and emotional response called ATTRACTION, then you are going to be out ofcontrol in relationships, and you will very likelyhave women leave you for the rest of your life. There is no security when you don't "get it" inthe ATTRACTION department. And you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Women KNOW that they have the upper hand withmost men. As a guy, you can FEEL IT when a woman "has youby the balls". And even if she's not evil or mean, a woman canstill crush you emotionally when she's in thispowerful position. Well, guess what?

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GIVES HER THIS POWER. And if you choose, you can KEEP this power forYOURSELF.SOLVE THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT STARTS Now, the BEST way to deal with this particularproblem is to SOLVE it BEFORE it even starts. The absolute most important prevention methodis an understanding of female psychology andATTRACTION. Here are a few pointers to get you started:1)

Women are NEVER attracted to WUSSIES. Women don't feel ATTRACTION for weak men. Sure, if you chase a woman for long enough, andbuy her enough things, she may "fall" for you. Butin that case it's not because she feels ATTRACTIONfor you. OHHHHH NO. It's because she feelsAFFECTION for you, and she confuses it withATTRACTION. So if your Inner Wussy has been taking thewheel, EVICT IT! Bitch-slap the Wuss out ofyourself. Do it now.2) Don't be PREDICTABLE. Predictability is a mortal sin when it comes toattraction. If a woman can guess what you're going to do orsay, you're being predictable. If she CAN'T guess what you're going to do orsay, she'll always be wondering... Now, keep in mind that women are MUCH better atpredicting behavior than men. So if you're going to stop being predictable,then you're going to need to LEARN how. To begin with, PAUSE before you do and saythings. Think about what you'd normally do, thenDO SOMETHING ELSE. Throw in some crazy, off-the-wall stuff forgood measure. Predictable is BAD BAD BAD for business.3) Don't be BORING. Boring is the bastard child of Predictable. When you are SO predictable that NOTHING is newor different, then you are officially BORING. Boring is also the lack of adventure, passion,energy, humor, and ATTRACTION. Unfortunately, most men are REALLY, REALLY,REALLLLLLLLLLLLY boring. I mean like shoot-yourself boring. Like, if there was a "Boring Score" that tookinto account everything from food to clothing tointerests to conversation, most men would score a99.75 on a 100 scale. It's a bad situation. I used to be pretty damn boring myself, soboring, in fact, that I could probably becertified as an expert on the topic. So take it from me, BORING is BAD. I don't care WHAT you have to do to stop beingboring, but do it. A few quick ideas: Take up an interesting hobby. Think winecollecting, not comic book collecting. Mountain biking, not chemistry. Fashion, not X-Box. You feel me? Now, this is just a taste. More important than what you do and talk aboutis HOW you do it and talk about it. There is a way to communicate with women thatprevents you from being boring. I suggest that youpay attention to the things you're learning fromme so you "get it". IF THINGS GET BAD, BREAK UP FIRST Now I'm going to REALLY stick my neck out. This one is going to make the little baby hairsstand up on the backs of necks of women all overthe world... If you find yourself in one of these badsituations that I mentioned above, and you sensethat the woman in your life is about to leave,then BREAK UP WITH HER FIRST. DO IT. Don't hesitate. Cut the line. Hit the road. No matter what your emotions tell you to do,you have to end it FIRST. If you want to have ANY chance of having thingswork out in the LONG RUN, then you need to TAKECONTROL of the situation, and BREAK UP WITH HER. From this position, you will then be able tosee things more clearly, and she will be about 100times more likely to want to work things out withyou. If you REALLY want to increase your chances ofhaving things work out, then you should also startdating other women as well. But let's not talk too much about that, becauseI'm already in the danger zone here. If you take the time to think about it, you'llrealize that breaking up with her FIRST is thebest possible thing you can do. As you've heard me say quite a few times, it'simportant to give a woman the GIFT of MISSING YOU. Never is it more important than in one of THESEsituations. I know, this is a damn hard thing to do whenyou're in the heat of the moment... but if youdon't do it, you'll probably wind up with herleaving... and you feeling that lame POWERLESSfeeling that I described earlier. OK, so to wrap, let me talk about one morething... As I mentioned before, the REAL thing thatcauses women to LEAVE comes down to the man in herlife not understanding ATTRACTION and how to makeher FEEL IT for him. And, as I mentioned, no woman is EVER going toTELL this to you. Instead, she's just going to LEAVE. When I first started learning all of this stuffabout how to be successful with women and dating,I had NO IDEA that I would wind up solving themystery of why women LEAVE men. I was only looking for the answer to how to geta woman in the first place... I never even thoughtabout KEEPING one once I got her... But now I realize that this particular topicusually winds up being the most important one,because once you find that amazing woman, and getsomething good going, you certainly don't want toLOSE her. And when you find yourself in the situation,and you realize that the woman you have is aboutto leave... you would basically do ANYTHING tostop it. Of course, at that point it's usually TOO LATEto do anything... which sucks. So one of the most important things you can doRIGHT NOW in your life is to learn how and whywomen feel ATTRACTION for some men... and how tomake women feel it for you. And what's the best way to do it? I have a couple of ideas... I'm the only person I know of in the history ofthe planet who has designed an entire programaround how to make women feel ATTRACTION for you,then digitally recorded it on CD and DVD so youcan save yourself several YEARS of trial anderror... not to mention hundreds or thousands ofhours of study and research.

entering/ maintaining a relationship

If you are in a relationship right now, or are thinking ofgoing into one, there are 3 very important tips you should know and questions you should ask yourself before you everget yourself into a relationship.

This could save you from alot of heartache and pain when you are involved in a love relationship.
(1) Your lover does not owe you your happiness, peace or joy. Happiness is a state of mind we choose to have. All of your happiness, and all of your suffering, are created by you and they do not come from outside of you, or from others. Before you go into any type of relationship, ask yourself these questions: "Do I really, really, really know how to walk away from disappointment and fear?
Will I be able to find the person that I am NOW even after I go into this relationship and begin a new way of life?"

In short, you should not be dependent on your partner on your emotional needs. You yourself are responsible for your own feelings and creating positive experiences for both your partner and you whenever you are together.

(2) Love your partner for who they are. No one in this world is perfect. One day you will find your partner doing certain things or saying certain things that will hurt you, disappoint you or anger you. Before you go into any type of relationship, you have to ask yourself: "Will I be able to love my partner for who they are. If I am unhappy or angry with something they have said or done, will I be able to recognize my unhappiness or anger as against their speech, actions and behavior, and NOT against their persons?"

(3) Will I be able to love myself as much as I love my partner? If you cannot love yourself, how are you going to give love to another? This is a mistake most people make when they go into a relationship. They become over-obsessive with what they can give to their partners and what they can do for their partners. To ensure a fulfilling relationship, you have to learn to take care of your own needs as well. A true partner or lover is one who will make sure that you do not become too dependent on them. You are responsible for your own feelings and your own emotional needs too. You are a beautiful being. So, take care of yourself, love yourself, treat yourself to all the good things in life too, and do the same to your partner. Very soon you will find true love always coming your way without any effort on your part!As always, if you are encountering problems in yourrelationship, try to dissolve all of your problems in love.And you'll be sure you are on your way to a peaceful andfulfilling relationship!

Next time, I'll share with you how you can gain an unfairadvantage over your rival and win over the one you love!May the light be with you!

Love and Bright Blessings,

More than sex, the Kama Sutra






The Kama Sutra showcases the marriage of the spiritual and the sensual which stems from the Hindu belief that the body is as sacred as the spirit and sexuality in all its forms is as worthy of reverence as the spiritual.

Herein lies the intrinsic value of the amorous text that like kama or desire, the most powerful of all motives that drives living beings, has resided as a seed and passed on through the loins of humanity, down the annals of time.

Nandi the Bull, the companion of Lord Shiva observing his lord's amorous advances towards Parvati, recorded them as 1,00,000 verses of the Kama Shastra. These filtered down through the oral tradition finally reaching Svetaketu, a Vedic sage who summarized these in 8th century BCE.

Much later the ancient sexologist Babharavya together with his disciples condensed Svetaketu's work into the seven adhikarnas or sections with the famed 64 positions. The seven sections were elaborated upon by seven ancient sages.

Mallanaga Vatsyayana's interviews of these sages yielded the synthesized treatise we know as the Kama Sutra. Historians date the compilation as 380-420 CE or thereabouts, perhaps during the reign of the Gupta Emperor, Chandragupta II, a period of prosperity and hedonistic indulgence.

Hence the Kama Sutra provides for the games and pastimes of men and women, their celebrations, the study of arts and sciences to enhance one's personality and cultivate pleasant traits.

The book details all possibilities and postures of love and erotics from the initial approaches to the consummation, including games, tricks, aids and spells.The most interesting parts are tactics to seduce a maiden and precautions to be observed when seducing another man's wife.

The undertow of all this is: It is the dharma of a man and woman to experience kama and it is meritorious "if it is done well and with the aim to please both participants, and for them to derive pleasure".

The Kama Sutra, writes Dane, is a lexicon of human behaviour but it is not without words of circumspection, cautioning those who would burn their fingers, if due consideration is not applied within the code of conduct of dharma."

Sections like seducing another man's wife are not necessarily indications of moral laxity in as much as they reflect reality," Dane is quick to clarify."The delicate balance of relationships involved in such an activity was as precarious then as it is today.

From the ethical and social point of view sex with another man's wife is forbidden. It is not surprising that it results in other men's wives being considered most piquant."The Kama Sutra is not a treatise on ethical values but transgressions, if any, are always within the bounds of social convention. It gives advice on all aspects of love, even the forbidden. Its aim is ensuring a full enjoyable sex life, paramount to happiness.

All of these however are always within the purview of dharma, artha, kama and moksha, as in the Hindu view, the union of the man and woman becomes the perfect symbol of liberation and leads to salvation.

Vatsyayana describes nine types of union possible between men and women, depending on varying degrees of passion, with varying kinds of kisses, embraces and pressing of thighs. Underlying these seeming trivialities is a playful curiosity about the limitless possibilities of the mind and body.

The delightful playfulness is vital if sex is to not become banal. The attitude of equality between the sexes in all matters of erotic love comes across as refreshingly healthy and wholly unexpected. Though oft neglected, it is an attitude inherent in the word sam-bhoga, ordinarily translated as 'sexual intercourse'. Yet this completely misses the true import of the original Sanskrit term that implies "enjoying together" or "enjoying in harmony".

"Eroticism meant the uninhibited enjoyment of all the pleasures and delights within the ultimate aim to attain a paroxysm," says Dane."The accent during those times was on the accomplishments in all walks of life with an unabashed and non-prudish acceptance of the pursuits of seduction as an art and a pleasurable one at that after the suspension of all guilt and sense of sin."

At a time, when sex is becoming mechanical, we could do with a whiff of this spirit.

Fear of rejection from woomen ...

Ah, the concept that is near and dear to all ofus men who have started on the path to successwith women and dating... FEAR. Fear of rejection. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of the unknown. Fear of what a woman might do if we starttalking to her. Fear of what other guys would think if theyknew that we needed help with women.

Fear of what WOMEN would think if they knewthat we needed help with women. Fear of admitting that we're AFRAID. ...and about 100 others.

But, what exactly IS fear? And why is it such a problem? And what can be done to overcome it?

Well, let's start with what fear is, then we'llmove on to some techniques to get past it. I once heard a great definition of FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real In other words, the things that you feel fearabout are usually not real. It's usually just"false evidence". You also might think back about the last 10things you felt fear around. Now, ask yourself...Did any of those things come true?

In most of the cases, you'll find that the feardid NOT come true. I heard once that something like 98% of thethings that people fear and worry about never cometrue. I've found this to be true in my own life aswell. Fear is an emotion, or an emotional state. It'san amazing and wonderful emotion... because it canhelp save your life in certain situations.

A hundred thousand years ago, when we wererunning around in the desert, we needed powerful,motivating emotions like FEAR to save our lives. When you feel fear (especially if it's aresponse to real physical danger) you'll noticethat some AMAZING things happen. Your eyes open upwider so you can see better, adrenaline pumps intoyour body, your heart beats fast to deliver bloodto your muscles, and all kinds of other wondrousprocesses are triggered.

The PROBLEM is when we experience fear at timeswhen there IS NO real physical danger. We humans are amazing. We can just IMAGINEthings and feel fear in response to the mentalimages. And I'm sure you know exactly what the problemis with this... it can IMMOBILIZE you at criticaltimes.

Have you ever seen a woman that you'd like tomeet, but you just couldn't walk over and starttalking to her? No, it's never happened to me, either. What was the problem? Usually, it's fear. Fear that she'll get upset, or fear that she'llhave a boyfriend... or fear that she'll embarrassyou in front of others... or fear that you won'tknow what to say to her...

And, of course, when you feel that strong fearemotion, it just FREEZES you and makes you totallyineffective. So, what's the solution? Well, there are several ways to overcome fears. One way is to do the thing you fear. If you dothe thing that you fear, and see that nothing badwill happen, then you eventually overcome it andbecome programmed not to feel fear anymore.

For instance, if you're afraid to approachwomen and talk to them, just DO IT. Go talk to 50women in the next week and see that most of themwill respond positively to you (if you don't actlike a dumb-ass, that is). Other ways to overcome your fear when it comesto approaching women include:- Understanding the dynamics of male/femaleinteractions better than most women do.- Learning how to approach women using the sametypes of words and body language that the mastersuse.- Learning how to use props or other devices toget a woman's attention without having to"approach" her directly.- Learning mental techniques to overcome fears or"reset" your emotions instantly, anytime you'dlike (this is one of my personal favorites).-

Using mental preparation to be completely readyfor anything that might happen. ...and there are several others. I have spent a lot of time in my own personallife learning about and figuring out how to getpast fears and other psychological obstacles withwomen.

This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.


Song of Solomon
Chapter 1


The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is
better than wine.
Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as
ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into
his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents
of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked
upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where
thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by
the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in
Pharaoh's chariots.
Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains
of gold.
We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.

While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth
the smell thereof.
A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all
night betwixt my breasts.
My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards
of Engedi.
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast
doves' eyes.
Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed
is green.
The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.

Chapter 2


I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved
among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was
love.
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of
love.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace
me.
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by
the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the
mountains, skipping upon the hills.
My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth
behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair
one, and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of
birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with
the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret
places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for
our vines have tender grapes.
My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my
beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
Chapter 3


By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought
him, but I found him not.
I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the
broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw
ye him whom my soul loveth?
It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom
my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by
the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of
smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are
about it, of the valiant of Israel.
They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his
sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.

He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of
gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with
the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
Chapter 4


Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast
doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which
came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely:
thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury,
whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which
feed among the lilies.
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to
the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look
from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast
ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is
thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are
under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a
fountain sealed.
Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits;
camphire, with spikenard,
Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of
frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from
Lebanon.
Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden,
that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
Chapter 5


I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered
my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that
knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my
feet; how shall I defile them?
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels
were moved for him.
I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh,
and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and
was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me,
they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved,
that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest
among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.

His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and
black as a raven.
His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters,
washed with milk, and fitly set.
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips
like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as
bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine
gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is
my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
Chapter 6


Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither
is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.
My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices,
to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the
lilies.
Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem,
terrible as an army with banners.
Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair
is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing,
whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.
As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and
virgins without number.
My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her
mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon,
clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the
valley, and to see whether the vine flourished and the pomegranates budded.
Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of
Amminadib.
Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look
upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
Chapter 7


How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! 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: thy
belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.

Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in
Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head
like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

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;
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.

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge
in the villages.
Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine
flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of
pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
Chapter 8


O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my
mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who
would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should
embrace me.
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor
awake my love, until he please.
Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her
beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for
love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it:
if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we
do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and
if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes
as one that found favour.
Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard
unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must
have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy
voice: cause me to hear it.
Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young
hart upon the mountains of spices.
