Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
The life experience that you went through is one of the most agonizing and traumatic parts of living one is asked to face. I see your tears in your poem and I empathize deeply with you. The therapeutic exercise of writing about it was very sage. Good luck with a publisher, I'm sure the rest are just as heartfelt. Thanks for sharing.

Hello, Marjon van Bruggen,
Locking - Unlocking, it's a fine poem to honor your husband's death. I'm sorry for your loss. It must had been extremely hard.

Gypsy dear, it is always hard I think, and for everybody. In this case it was hard, but also liberating. We didn't have to suffer anymore. Thanks for your comment.

A great piece of artwork that communicates the slow torture that you endured in your husbands journey to physical extinction, (I'm Sorry, didn't mean to be insensitive) you wrote these series of works. My writing likewise has brought clarity to clouded lenses in my life. Well done, blessings Roy

Roy, thank you very much. I am not IN the situation anymore. I can look BACK on it now, and do some relativations, it helped me though to write poems to get things clear in my mind.
Comment from Jeffrey Ford
I think that you made a great post! It is well written, and I did not see any grammar errors. Your poem was very deep, and it made me try to process and think were they at a wedding. It makes me look differently about love and romance poetry. Great poem!

Thank you, Jeffrey. I am so glad you liked it.
Comment from Bill Schott
This biographical poem, Locking - Unlocking, doesn't claim its total harvest from the reader until we know of the situation from which these feelings emerge. Then, the sad, lingering loss, finds all these words glowing with the drama of life's erasure.

Comment from Thompson I
Indeed death is the truth we need to take with equanimity of mind. No matter whether we keep the door locked or unlocked it doesn't keep away this unwelcome guest. It's indeed hard losing a dear and loved one.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is very moving, and it shows an honest and caring testament, to the trials you and he went through during those, what must've seemed like, a million years. I can't decide which stanza I like the best. It's a toss-up. Each line speaks to a different part of what was going on, with you as well as, inside you. The first line is a powerful way to start this piece. "The truth with its big teeth stared in the windows..." I can visualize your truth at the time, having big teeth. This has very nice descriptive words and phrases. Good luck with finding a publisher. I know there is one waiting for you.
Take care, Jesse

Comment from Boogienights
I can't imagine what you must have went through with your husband, but I certainly feel for you. It was a good thing that you wrote down your thoughts because maybe in reading them, someone in the same position will be helped by them. Thank you for sharing your story.

Boogienights, that was a nice reaction to my sad poem. Thank you!
Comment from Dr. Nad
Locking - Unlocking Is an excellent poem that gives the reader a few hints of the Birdseye view of a horrible disease that encapsulates a person and emprisons their family and friends. Nancy Reagan called Alzheimer's "The Long Goodbye." The torture is almost unbearable, to watch someone that you love drift away while not knowing that they're leaving you.
