This poem could be seen as the polar opposite of THE CLOWN, about a relationship characterized by the tenderest and most sensitive gestures of appreciation. I'm assuming both parties respond in such a way that creates a bond of gentleness. I find this poem very moving. And that comes from the cumulative effect of your word choices: FIND MY HAND / IN... DARKNESS: That's not only a sensitive physical gesture, it is symbolic of the light that true affection will bring into our lives, darkness has no power over such tenderness; TOUCH MY PALM LINES / WITH YOUR FINGERTIPS: again a very gentle touch, but also I think of reading palm lines for learning about the future and the future to be foretold here will be one of mutual joy. This is that rarest of poems: a Love Poem without exaggeration or false display of emotion, expressing the very behavior that will make their love prevail.
