At Times Poem by Doris Cornago

At Times

Rating: 5.0


A plant with leaves open to the air and wind
Indelible by rain, occupies the mind in a
Sweet refrain, signalling oh so green
Wavering, waving, fear nothing
Tonight and every dark night
Alighting by your bedside
Keeper of light by your
Sole appointment
Never a source
Of decei
Conceit
Nor
Selfish
Hoarding
Of your time
Disappointment
In being lost at times
In a maze, seeking warm
Embrace, but so cold by the
Door, ignore, gotta run, lack time
Drinking bottles of rice wine, what's
Your currency, golly gee, keep track on
Slack, everybody's gone, on the seen zone
Smoke out of fire, frozen desire, plants do wilt
Expressing appreciation, momentary procrastination

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Showing me what's important to you makes me know. I understand how much time each task takes and priorities are set by need and by urgency. We take love on its own terms, not by our preferences. Love is like grass on the wayside, thriving though unnoticed.

I'm sorry for this glitch which caused the K to be misaligned. I've tried many times to correct but this app chose to maintain such a disfigured K. Just imagine it's a perfect K with these words separate Hoarding and Of your time. There's supposed to be a pause, a recall, a recollection and absolution, before proceeding to the next lines.

Hi Bro. Bernard. Love is meant to be comfortably warm, not hot, but never lukewarm. Don't fall into this trap of wanting something safe.: -)
