unlocked

beginning with the title (which drew me into the poem), its an interesting exploration of unlocking the doors to our intimate selves when we let someone in - regardless of potential consequences. an issue of trust, which can easily be violated. another take on the title would be the process of unlocking that door to let ourselves out - to take risks with intimacy, with exposing our innermost thoughts and feelings to someone else. Like poetry. All in all, I enjoyed your poem Frost.

that was basically the idea, indeed...as also pertaining to the title. thanks for taking the time to read it and to offer comments. I personally think it's a crap poem for the most part. I used to be able to put out decent poetry but for about a year now, everything that comes out is pretty lame.

this was just a stab at trying to make something out of nothing. There are actually some decent posts of mine if you dig through the archives....I hate that any new comer (I know you've been around)would think this is the quality of my writing.
I suppose it's a process and right now I'm in the hideous stage of drivel. This too, hopefully will pass :)

wow--especially the second stanza. i enjoyed it, frost. by no means hideous drivel!

hey, thanks for the vote of confidence in the piece. I appreciate it. You know how those low days of writing go, maybe-when you know you're just not up to par...

It is cool to hear it's not as bad as I thought it was. You pointed out my favorite part.

You have blossomed into a powerful poetry diva. So good to see you are still writing, I have always enjoyed your strength.Peace.Wabi

Thanks, Wabi,

it's great to see you posting again! I missed you.

life is full of possibilities and the thrill of the unknown is so great.

This is great it reminds me of the passion that drives us to do things that we really don't want, but have to do, because of overwhelming desire.

overwhelming desire...a driver indeed.
