With Aphorisms in’em

My poems are about me;

both from and to me.

I try to write what i know,

but they’re fictitious also.

Mostly imagination,

intimate conversation,

you are free to listen in.

They become our poems then.

We are free to realize

fictions means they are lies.

We don’t claim that they are true,

about me, or even you.

Some aphorisms are real

with emotions which we feel.
