It was by chance I happen to notice the book "Songs of Solomon" in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. It is surprising to see that the Holy Bible not only contains the words of Lord but also talks about the love life of Jerusalem and Palestinian people. While the preface of the book says that the interpretation of the songs in the book vary based on people's perception, it also rightly points out that the songs are clearly talking about the Love life of the Jerusalem people and not about Lord.
The songs are filled with love. Very poetic in nature. Most of the songs are like a woman talking to his lover, a man talking to his lady love and people in general talking about the love life of their generation.
Even though some may say that the songs are nothing but the expression of love between people of Jerusalem and Lord, I, as many others, disagree with that perception. The Songs of Solomon is nothing but a literature anthology like Kuruntokai and many other classical Tamil poetic literature anthology. It need not be a surprise to see such book in the Holy Bible for the very reason that love is nothing but a holy feeling, present of nature and a gift from God. Bible accepts the same.
