Symbiotic Love

Love is a two way thing.

Symbiotic Love

We are united

as organisms of difference.

A man and a woman,

desires and dreams

and personalities unique.

We trade in the spices

of friendship, companionship,

trust, adoration and love.

We offer one another

the bargain of devotion.

I give, you give

and forever this will be

a symbiotic love.

Wow there should be a barter system in love,too.In fact,there is already.It will benefit both the sides.There will be no breakups,i swear.If only the other party could understand:(
Anyway,a lovely writeup:)

Thank you FBC. I only wish people could work at the bargain more.

love has to be both giving and taking equally or it goes off balance !!
Love this write!!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Many relationships are lop-sided. To be truly healthy they should be in balance, in harmony. Thank you Sereena.

I love this, John, it's so beautiful :) Love is giving and as long as each are giving, each are receiving. That kind of love is a completion... a full circle...never-ending.

reminds me of the Moments..." i found love on a two -way street"
but hopefully these two will not "lose it on a lonely hightway"

Perhaps we all aspire to symbiosis but many don't stick. Thank you Jacob.

When feelings are not reciprocated, love cannot survive. It's what we all crave, isn't it?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Love has to be symbiotic to survive in a healthy state. Equal balance, mutual dependance, trust, devotion and desire. Thank you Kelly.

Symbiotic love is often what we have. Coming together and then just staying since it's easy, even if you are poison to each other. Sometimes the passion in a relationship is what keeps it going even when the love is not truly there. Very thought provoking piece to me. Nice work. Thanks,

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I guess for me symbiosis means a mutual bargain of beautiful inter-dependance. Many thanks Willard.

[Willard Wells]

I took the word symbiotic to what I would say was it's more true form of parasite living off it's host. That is what brought my view of this piece.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Not at all Willard, symbiotic means two different organisms living in harmony.

[Willard Wells]

I did take the more non compatible view of symbiotic. I was more in the line of thinking of just surviving together and not growing. Thank you for clarification. I guess my views today are more negative in nature.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Hope you are ok Willard. We all have down days, I know I have and sometimes tis a struggle to pull out of that nose dive.

[Willard Wells]

No worries John. I meant my reviews seem to look to the darker side. I am so up and happy with life that sometimes writing can be a challenge. Or maybe it's just that I have not worked on as much from the light side of my brain as I have from the dark.
