My poems are simple works of those
emotions who were looking for words
to express themselves. They are not
meant to dazzle or impress anyone.
They are not meant to push aside
the great poets of our times . I
would never even think of calling
myself a true poet but rather an
emotional hacker who finds the
right words now and then. My poems
were not written with praise
expected. They are simply what they
are for the time they shall
exist. Someday most of our words
will be lost and forgotten. There
will be few signs that we existed
and even fewer of our words. A
select few will live on in some way
if we are lucky. Most though will
not survive the hands of time as
each poem that rests on a piece of
paper eventually finds themselves
lost forever. I wonder how many
great poems have been erased this
way and how many have been reborn
in some way or another by the heart
of another poet. Unlike some
here who threaten us if we use or
copy their great works, I gladly
hope that if my poem fills your
need that you would use it in any
way you wish. I will be happy to
claim the credit if you let me but
if you want to and if the need
arises and you have a love that may
be tipped your way by my words then
you may call them your own. Like
the trees of the orchard you may
use these fruits as you desire.
They are after all just words and
emotions and I have no copyright on
them. Peace.
