Measure Poems - Poems about Measure

I know there's something going on, no doubt I'm wise enough to know what you're about It's not pleasant dear, you must live with fear That's sure to ruin time left on earth here. I will keep my findings all to myself You be the judge and jury to yourself Maybe you have caused folk despair always I don't know...

Measure Of A Man Humble Beginnings. Always giving. Put himself last. Hard working hands. Long days toil under the sun. Easy to talk to. Food on the table. Always grateful. With lines on his face. A good word to say. Never complain. Always a gentleman. Carry the burden. With heavy lifting. Take timeout to listen. ...

There are words that found their full measure only with you by my side, Now they remain unfinished, like a verse keeping an empty space, Meant only for your name, which once completed the harmony, Without you, I talk to myself, in whispers seeking your echo, Between every sentence slips the silence of a lost "hmm," The one that once...

When I am dead, all the things I wrote, all the things I said, that made you criticize, irritated and distressed, made you uncomfortable in your heart and the head, will become dearer, be the sorrow a real good measure, will bring tears if you let the thought stand nearer and will turn into love instead. The love that I wanted and you did not understand. (27.03.2025)...

This day in early March sings in a gust of wind it brings the season’s change life I’ve known rearranged one day warm the next cold nature’s changing moods to behold when each day when I’m awake nature’s tempestuous moods to partake.

Last Full Measure Car pulls into the driveway two doors slam. Gravel crunches as feet walk to the porch. Thump, thump, thump slow walk to porch. Ding, ding, ding, ding doorbell chimes its dirge. Mother traces her finger over photo of son. Tears drip to the floor, as she answers the summons. Two grim faced men in uniform heads bared enter. Ma’am we regret to inform you. ...

I love you beyond the borders of language, where words stumble, faltering in the shadow of feeling. No map charts the expanse of this tenderness, no compass finds its edge. I love you as the ocean loves the shore, returning endlessly, even when it is sent away. I love you as the sky holds the stars, cradling light in an infinite embrace, never asking why...

Don’t waste your time with pieces, with “almost” and “not quite.” Life’s too sharp for half-hearted choices, for living in the in-between. Either speak, or stay quiet, but never let silence be a whisper you didn’t mean to make. Don’t wait for the right moment to give your whole self. Half a truth is a lie in disguise, and what you leave unsaid will live louder...

Close your eyes. Know that you are strong. You are here on earth to be tested and how you react to your challenges is the true measure of a man. You don't let obstacles crush you. You deal with them as they come at you. You are the captain of your life and your ship is sailing through turbulent seas these days. Stay focused. Ride...

Even if cast into the river’s flow, Measure it first, they say, before you let it go. But how to measure—that’s where the strife, Countless contradictions arise in life. A millionaire with wealth untold, Spends billions on a wedding, bold. We criticize with envy and disdain, Yet give our life’s savings to heirs, with no shame....
