"Love is as strong as death," we all should know,
For this is what the Good Book clearly states.
Unyielding as the dismal grave below,
Which stubbornly each life eradicates.
I know these words, they must be right,
For Solomon the Wise, he was no fool.
But my true love is not as bad as that;
She's only strong and stubborn as a mule.

Oct 4, 2008 | For anyone who is curious, the premise of this poem starts out in the book Song of Solomon from the Bible:
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame. (Song of Solomon 8:6)

Oct 4, 2008 | Aha, very nice way of mixing humour, love, and seriousness along with God's word into a poem. I liked it. For the record, I'm not obsessed with death ;-) but it is very interesting, and some poets like Emily Dickinson especially, have a way of writing about it.
