Is There A Beauty? Poem by R.J. Bevans

Is there a beauty as soft as you?
a thought
a kiss
the breeze

With eyes and light
and sullen memories

Cast me out and move straight, the scores of people will not add up to your gentle worth

love can rise
time will show hearts eternal

passion can be the sword
as flesh can be the infernal goat

Is there a pain that can be healed?
a wound
a cut---
the shock

Is there a beauty that can rise above, in me, I know this not.-
