Flowing Love

Proverbs 5:15-21

Let the water from your well be your drink,
Instead of a fountain of another that flows;
For if you just take the time for to think,
Waters from another may add to your woes.

Let not your springs flow into the streets,
Or your streams flow in the open meadow;
Because there is more than lava that heats,
In uncharted land where your waters flow.

Let the blessings be on your own fountain,
To be only for you and not any other man;
As the woman you marry will be for certain,
To bring you more joy than anyone else can.

Loving and gentle her breasts give rapture,
While your passion be moved by her love;
It's truly her that your heart does capture,
As the blessings flow from God up above.

Once she's in your arms never let her leave,
And never embrace another woman instead;
For Satan loves to entice trying to deceive,
As the weight of God will be on your head.
