Cohabitation

cohabitation
diplomatic existence
between lust and love

cohabitation
mutual acceptance of rules
under the same roof

Without diplomatic existence they won't be together long..Without the acceptance of the rules no telling what will happen..Great contrast in this Haiku..Enoyed reading this one today..Sara

And yet somewhere between lust and love therein lies "the bond" Well done!

Good morning Sarai. Glad to have you stopping by and commenting. It's good to see people delving in to find their own interpretation...positivity. :) // paul

Thank you Olive_eloi; like your witty comments too. :) they show a joy of living. Cohabitation has become a way of life...but that does not mean that it can ever replace what marriage stands for. // paul

hmmm, maybe the first one is for first years of marriage and the second one is for all the years combined!! I sure enjoyed reading your definition of cohabitation, Paul.

Dear Paul: A nice pair of haiku fragments. The things unsaid come out after 3 readings. Deeper than obvious. Leon

Thank you Leon for stopping by. I find that haiku needs reading over and over again. When I go over my own haiku, I realize that apart from what I had in mind there are other points to be elicited; it's surprising what surfaces after several readings! Thanks for your comments and support. // paul
