Here you will find selected works of my poetry. It may offer you a deeper understanding as to who I am or how and about what I think. Though a picture may be worth a thousand words, one word can describe the most profound of emotions. Two of my works of thought have been published and are thus protected by their respective copyrights. Neither appear in this website. I will not lie and claim a copyright I do not own in hopes of deterring those who wish to copy my work. If you so choose to reproduce any of my poetry I can take no legal action. I would not choose to do so had I that option. After the conception of a thought, the next step in certainty is the ability to say it out loud. After that, share the thought with others. You are welcome to my thoughts. You may adopt them, alter them as you see fit, and keep them as your own, but in your terms, by your words, not mine. I have nothing by which to hold you except your own character--and no one but you has the ability to define your character. What I have created belongs to me. If you choose to violate that rightful ownership, you will face no consequences except those you impose on yourself. If there are none, so be it. You cannot destroy what I have produced, though you may find ways to improve upon it. The original is mine to keep. Beware of losing wisdom in a sea of knowledge. |
