Metering Love

30 July 2006


Who cares about meter
that measure to make
The flow of a poem
and heaven for God’s sake

Who cares about right or wrong
Then what about those lyrics
in attachment to Beethoven’s song

Those words Mozart did write
were they really his own
or another was way of flight
Who said love was love
and could that be at first sight

Lies and truth
metre and measure
Those ways we do spell
or was love pure pleasure


1: meter, metre, m - (the basic unit of length adopted under the French Systeme International d'Unites (approximately 1.094 yards)). Spelling in ways of difference where in US English the word “metre” is presented as “meter” (kilometre/kilometer)

2: meter - (any of various measuring instruments for measuring a quantity; measure with a meter; “meter the flow of water”)

3: meter, metre, measure, beat, cadence - ((prosody) the accent in a metrical foot of verse)

4: meter, metre, time - (rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration)

Sometimes, even the truth can be a lie...

You are deepening, my friend. PiP has that quality, of either deepening us or turning us shallow....I'm glad to see that it's taking you in the best direction.

Most excellent Christopher.
I really enjoyed this piece.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

More the pity that some of my better writes got lost down the page without anyone making a comment on them

But all that aside, I truly appreciate your kind words and maybe I will keep sharing my writing here with other fellow 'poets' on PIP
