If it's written
where are the words
are they affecting you
are the words
a means of touching you
or disengagement from you
When we risk
is the risk of a fall
deadly or enlighting
I think
I should get out
soon
I don't think I can risk
a narrow escape
from being hooked
and being unhooked
The instruments are so beautiful
have given such pleasure
I best leave
when the band is playing strong
and my love is intact
and you are still my friend

Congrat and welcome to the blogosphere, Barb. You will be asked, I am pretty sure, what your poems are "about". That may be a tough question for you to receive, because I think poetry is that much more personal than prose. Or can be.
We will be curious, though. Please remember you always retain the right to keep that energy private.
it is a tough question
at times Johnnym ....
i live pretty privately
and the poetry is one safe
place for me with me
i think it is important to
let ones heart feel
even at the risk
of any sense of loss
Thank you all three for your
posts to the poem
"sometime in february"
in peace
ps great to have you here Johnnym
