WHEN

WHEN

A Poem by Paul Seaman
"

what is acceptable, socially ??

"

WHEN

 

When is it too soon

       to love

When is it too soon

       to touch

When is it too hot

       to let the fire

   burn too much?

 

When is Desire Denied

       the right thing to do

   to honor the dead

       the bygone

              the good?

 

       [Is it weakness to desire]

       [Is it frailty to need]

 

When is it ok

       to say

   i feel good

with a different person

              by my side?

 

Is it ever OK

   will I ever be ok

       is it allowed ...

 

is it too soon.

Wrote this a couple of years ago, but it still seems topical..

Tough to live in a head when the world turns all the norms upside down then blankets you in technology, Your poem is great. Boy George said it best, "Any Love is Good Love."
