The Measure

He knew not the measure about which the pleasure this seeming perfection; their love as shallow as concrete ponds, as radical as lust, this thing easy to destroy. Why for sale about souls, to discredit justice, to tolerate tyranny? They found a moment seeming as joy this story centered in allegories. They knew for destruction; but oh so long the captive hearts, as to perish willingly; where love flaunted her riches, a gift for each infraction, the terror of feeling love; as to measure against backboards, its texture, knowing not the measure; as hailing error, to learn through pain—this thing they didn’t deserve. They tithed a thing abrasive, eroding the jut of souls, where hell was less appealing; whereat are laws, the fortune of unsaid, to utter—I didn’t know!—as in—You didn’t tell me, the measure of love, wherefore, I forfeit guilt. Oh the humanity, to feign as unspoken, those very laws, that measure love! It wasn’t made vocal, those flagrant boundaries, and thus, pain was the measure about silence; in which a thing of passion, as want for control, this thing beyond control; to let loose, this flight of terror, whereby—so easy to let go. We rarely fathom, as those sane for goodness, the measure of a stranger’s love; as fit for friendship, to utter it not, this thing of leisure. Oh to finally fly, sorting through gray matter, buried in the concaves of the soul; whereat is mercy, to confront this thing, measured by—I never knew! They trampled upon sores, running from inner mirrors, as to compound the injustice; where neither would listen, as to consider unfair, that measure of love given; as said about unfair: How treat me the way that I have treated you? By measure, they yearned for multiple worlds, to depart as poisoned souls!
