Dramatic measures over a few words
Their actions seem far more absurd.

Time only measures how long you've lived,
But with the impression you leave,
You may as well have lived for an eternity.

we choose our fragility 
in fortresses of loving
by practical arrangements 
bottled up messages sink

The wisdom of the world remains
By some key measures narrow,
How can we all live peaceably?
What dreams intrigue a sparrow?

Insurance

Saved life, destroyed life.
Can't even save my own life.
Can't keep it all safe.
But can take needed measures
To protect what matters most.

My waistline measures forty.

Existing Measures

Existence is order or chaos bound

And forever marred with uncertainties

Until we're planted six feet under ground 

We travel between the eternities

in life’s dream
our response
measures us

love’s the way 
to ascend 
don’t falter

let our touch
be gentle 
every time

Mahler No 9

Mahler No.9,
not so inclined,
to be so entwined.
That final note,
of letting go.
Then silent measures,
with silent voices,
the instruments of fate,
and quiet choices.

what went wrong?
I've lived life
playing the hand God dealt
I've journied into the depths
loved over and beyond my measures
no love have i found

Counting Her Riches

As a miser counts his bags of gold
A gardener measures out her soil
And counts the treasures yet to come
With just a bit of honest toil.

Idioms For Abc

A penny for your thoughts
Bothered and pained
Caught between two stools
Drastic times call for drastic measures
Every cloud has a silver lining so
Free your mind from worries..

Indifference Appearing

Indifference
Appears in nature..
Indifference to
Seemingly
Separate and different
Measures of importance..
Indifference
Appears as
Difference..
Perhaps an
Unsettling peace...

Nobody Is Born Bad

Nobody is born bad
War
Poverty
Homelessness
Lack of love
Lack of compassion
Lack of education
Lack of jobs
And lack of care
Drives people to take desperate measures to survive

Time

It is like thousands of novels
that I’ll never read;
cuisines I’ll never enjoy;
people I’ll never meet…..
It measures our lives –
every heartbeat, breathing
and the spaces between…
