This piece is about a man approaching a woman in a way that respects her person and
without promise from his. Words are an expression of intent to act, where the context
may not be clear between one person and another. From a biological point of view,
the interaction has the potential for a long term pairing between two people which
could result in children. It is a big decision for a woman because having children puts
her life at risk and her survival chances are reduced when she assumes responsibility
for a child. Ideally, the mans commitment is complete in a way she knows he will be
available to help ensure survival of her and her children. A relationship such as this is
meant to be exclusive, where the man knows he is the father of her children and she
knows he will be there to help ensure survival.
It is written in the style of dialog which was widely used by Plato to communicate
philosophical thoughts.
This piece explores friendship as "a love that keeps on giving". Essentially this kind of
relationship is non-exclusive and must be maintained on a regular basis to keep it
going. Each interaction adds to a history that changes the dynamic between two
people. The dynamic is also affected by the other relationships each individual engages
in throughout the history of the friendship. A reason put forth for the value in a
friendship is how each person learns about themselves at a deeper level as the
friendship becomes more intimate. The ability to see various qualities of the other
person shows a person what qualities are possible within them.
This piece explores the interest generated in a relationship that is exclusive. It discusses
the deeper meaning behind an interest in a partnership where love is expressed in the
context of a physical interaction.

This poem is about expression of love within. It is about no woman and every woman.
It is about projecting love into the world as a completion between the sense of love
within represented into the world.
