My Poems are Written for You

My Poems are Written for You

1/30/17

Monday 

I Give You my Poems

I write them for you,

And I know you will make them yours,

Because that’s how it should be.

We give our own meaning to all we touch,

To all that comes before us.

No poem I ever wrote ever meant what I thought it meant,

Except me.

So when you read one of my poems,

Realize you gave it meaning,

As the result of your thinking.

When you read my poem,

It’s becomes yours,

Because the poem now 

Is your creation,

Not mine.

When you read my poem,

Realize it was written for you,

For your joy.

For your pleasure,

Not for mine.

Enjoy your poem!

It’s now yours.
