How Can You Measure a Heart?

How can you measure 
the depth of a
heart?

How can you measure 
time?

How is it that you
love me?
How is it that one
brazen, broken
conflicted, and graceless
could deserve someone as
unfeigned as you?

How can you measure
change?
Because I have learned to
live
and lived to
love
and loved to
live.

How can I measure
what love can do?

    sapping away the life of flowers

    who writes poetry
    who stands on a stage

    All the poets are crazy,
    dreamers with so much and so little to say,
    armed only with words to make everything
    in the world right again.

    They say, it is up to the artists
    it is up to the youth
