Do come, let us drink our fill of love until the morning;
do let us enjoy each other with love expressions. For the husband

A bag of money he has taken in his hand. On the day of
the full moon he will come to his house."
- Proverbs 7:17-20

Alright, take a look at this scintillating short love poems:

"Drink water out of your own cistern, and tricklings
out of the midst of your own well.
Should your springs be scattered out of doors,
[your] streams of water in the public squares
themselves? Let them prove to be for you alone,
and not for strangers with you. Let your
water source prove to be blessed, and rejoice
with the wife of your youth, a lovable hind
and a charming mountain goat. Let her own breasts
intoxicate you at all times. With her love may
you be in an ecstasy constantly. So why should you,
my son, be in an ecstasy with a strange
woman or embrace the bosom of a foreign woman?"
- Proverbs 5:15-20

The only sure way that a man can be happy and rejoice "with the wife of his youth" as suggested by the above short love poems is for him to marry his best friend. Failing which, his marriage becomes a source of unending misery, sorrow, tears and pains; rather than be a constant source of delight to him from one day to the next.

And when that happens, one's wife becomes like a leaking roof that chases a man away from his own home as vividly depicted in this next short love poems.

steady rain and a contentious wife are comparable.
Anyone sheltering her has sheltered the
wind, and oil is what his right hand encounters."

"Better is it to dwell upon a corner of a roof than
with a contentious wife,
although in a house in common."
- Prov. 21: 9; 25:24

"Better is it to dwell in a wilderness land than with
a contentious wife along with vexation." - Prov. 21: 19

Love goes by haps; Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.
- Antony & Cleopatra - Act 5, Scene 5

The stroke of death is as a lovers pinch, Which hurts and is desired.
- Henry VI Part 1 - Act 5, Scene 2

"There are three things that have proved too wonderful for me,
and four that I have not come to know: the way of an eagle
in the heavens, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a
ship in the heart of the sea and the way of an able-bodied
man with a maiden." - Prov. 30: 18, 19

"The way of an able-bodied man with a maiden"! Yes, even the most powerful of all men must at one point or the other succumb to the subtle devices of the sensuous young sedutive temptress.

"Remember, now, your Grand Creator in the days of
your young manhood, before the calamitous days proceed to come,
or the years have arrived when you will say: “I have no delight
in them”; before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars
grow dark, and the clouds have returned, afterward the downpour; in
the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the men
of vital energy have bent themselves, and the grinding women
have quit working because they have become few, and the ladies
seeing at the windows have found it dark; and the doors
onto the street have been closed, when the sound of the
grinding mill becomes low, and one gets up
at the sound of a bird, and all the
daughters of song sound low.

"Also, they have become afraid merely at what is high,
and there are terrors in the way. And the almond tree carries
blossoms, and the grasshopper drags itself along, and the caper berry
bursts, because man is walking to his long-lasting house and the
wailers have marched around in the street; before the silver
cord is removed, and the golden bowl gets crushed, and the
jar at the spring is broken, and the waterwheel for the
cistern has been crushed. Then the dust returns to
the earth just as it happened to be and the spirit
itself returns to the [true] God who gave it."
- Proverbs 12:1-7

The above poems may not have love expressions in them, but they sure describe the full life cycle of man from various stages of his physical developments right from the day of his birth on through till the date of his death when, "like a jar which has been broken and a cistern that has been crushed", he must return to the ground from where he had been created and his spirit return to "God who gave it".
