As Lines On My Own Palm Poem by Doris Cornago

As Lines On My Own Palm



This man who loves me
Does not go by tradition
He speaks less when prodded,
Adding lines when I'm silent

This man who loves me
Likes the road untraveled
Jumps over fences and barricades,
By danger he's undeterred

This man who loves me
Won't cry for losses
Won't cry for what's spilled
Won't go after gone, moves on

This man who loves me
Lays out a plan, daydreams
Weaves beautiful memories
By going into all that he can

This man who loves me
Quite unique but not different
I read him as lines on my own palm
We connect, we intersect, as one.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A dangerous thing is falling in love for as the song says, it's falling for make believe. For love to be real, it must be subjected to the nitty-gritty of everyday struggles, the rough qualities polished with the constant rubbing. There is no love at first sight, but you saw something that is potential and plunged on, taking a risk, to discover the mystery of that someone who attracted us 'by sight'. This poem is an example how an initial online meeting can turn into something serious, a meeting of minds, hurdling identical goals.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Doris Cornago 15 August 2017

The spurge plant includes many species in arid parts of Africa and India that resemble cactus plants. Most are valued by gardeners because they're drought-resistant and almost always ignored by deer and rabbits. Spurges are surefire picks for adding color to the garden. I have chosen this cactus-like plant to illustrate a love that can last for its functionality and durability, but not for beauty which is easily consumed and dissipates.
