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.

I wrote this symbolizing the unity and convergence of us through our horoscope signs.
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!

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...
