Infatuation poetry which doubles as a metaphor for the serpentine Queen of Heaven. The first human writing form was symbol(Logos) what is referred to as logogrammic or pictographic that is why a word can mean several things as the symbol is ideographic representing multiple concepts at the same time. Therefore, the rotating heavens which move up and down like a wave or zig-zag pattern over the course of a year are drawn as a wavy line which also represented a Serpent, rivers, streams, springs and motion itself hence why, "Dragons," are always found near water. The celestial serpent is heaven itself and Melissa translated correctly is a quasi-Greco-Semitic name meaning, "black tongue," literally a snakes tongue, allegorically cleverness in speaking which is also associated with the serpent.

Melissa is translated by modern scholars as meaning sweet only because sweet or sweetness is associated with the name as Greek and Roman temples had serpents living in them and sweet cakes were put out for them to eat at night which really only brought mice for them to feed on. It was considered a good omen though if your cakes were, "eaten," by the temple serpent.

I could be serenading a girl or the grand old serpent of heaven; Tiamat.
