197 – “I, the Writer; You, the Reader” | How Poetry Echos The Reader | [IV]

Meaning From Inside

Never You, the Reader 
Only I, the Writer
Know Reality's
Truth of Meaning &
Intention Inside Poetry;

Do not put your own Meaning
In my mouth just because
You, the Reader, can't
Understand either of the
Writer's Meaning or Intention;

My words speak not for Me - they
Speak only for their selfs, so
The echos of Meaning
You, the Reader, hear are the
Voices in the head of the Reader;

Meaning comes not from
The Intention of the
Writer, rather
From You, the Reader
From forgotten Experience
