Hmm... So few words, yet so deep. But only if one takes the time to think about it.

Water + Earth = Mud
A simple concept, one most children would know. However, what are the implications of this simple concept?

The biggest thing that comes to mind, is the mud house. Which may still be used today (I don't know.) Either way, one of the first types of shelter. Which, as I go deeper, brings me to something else...

Because of the implication of a romantic relationship, I can see a metaphor, one of the shelter and security a pair of loving parents (Earth + Water) to a child (Mud) Similar to the security and shelter of a mud house.

Of course, I could be overthinking and overanalyzing, as I am apt to do. But it is fun to attempt to dig deep into the words, and find the true meaning. Which can be done with few given words, as I have just done.

I am only able to do this because there is a good amount of hidden meanings int= the few words given. So I applaud you. You are quite the wordsmith.

She's a Virgo (Earth), I'm a Cancer (Water).
Together we make mud... hehe
I loved that you actually spent the time to think about it Andrew and I also enjoyed where your mind took it. I really appreciate it.
I am the same when it comes to overthinking things.
Of course I have my meaning to it, but it most certainly means more to me that you put a/ your own meaning to it. That's all I can ask from poetry...
Thank you and that is sincere!

[Andrew Ballard]

You're welcome. I enjoy allowing my mind to take me where it wants to go. It is enjoyable, and sometimes even helps me in my own writing.

If you don't mind me asking, is this about a true relationship you are in?

[sinNsincerity]

It was true, we no longer date, but everything I write is or has been true at a point...at least from my perspective. There are only about three poems that are imaginary or fantasy on her.

[Andrew Ballard]

That is a very interesting and nice way to find inspiration for writing. Especially poetry. Commendations from me to you.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you so much for that.
I usually write about things after they pass and I gave them some thought...

[Lord of mad men]

Very deep. Sort put yet so sweet. Powerful with little words very nice.

[sinNsincerity]

Like Splenda...

[Lord of mad men]

Lol i guess so.

[Relic]

I'll never think of water and mud the same way again. :)

[sinNsincerity]

hehe that's awesome

[Alice Poésy]

So simple yet so beautiful. So few words, yet it could have so many interpretations: "Together We Made Mud..." especially this line. I love poems like this.

[sinNsincerity]

Yes, very much so.
I try may best to leave open interpretations, so that other may open themselves...

[Alice Poésy]

I love open interpretations; everyone can find themselves in them. You're doing it right, I loved this.

[sinNsincerity]

They most certainly can if they desire to travel far and deep enough.
Thank you, I highly appreciate it. It's my devotion.

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

Virgo and Cancer can make a good match actually (sorry, I did read about you mentioning your zodiac sign)! Virgos need to be watered so they can become more relaxed and affectionate, which cancer can most certainly provide. And mud can be quite pleasant for the both of them--sticky but pleasant in feeling, down-to-earth but sensual.

[sinNsincerity]

Yes, I thought it would be a real cool way to say exactly what you've stated and so much more if one puts in enough thought into it, or a mind just as weird as mine.
Thank you Nadia, I love to personify mostly everything, so I'm more than glad you enjoyed it.

[Isabel25]

Okay...I can read this in two ways...either that you made a mess out of it, or that you created mud which is healing and fertile and something which can be moulded into so many other things. So,which one is it? But then, I guess there is no concrete answer as love is both these side- the mess as well as the magic :)
