Beauty In A Word

I lost a piece of the sun
That is drifting away from me
Filling me with anger and sadness
The memories rise in my throat

Beauty in a word
Enveloping me
The kindness of love
Contrasting with a world of brutality

The intimacy has been murdered
Quickly and cleanly
Without wiping the blood from the blade
Distance

Truth always getting in the way
Impeding progress
Afraid to lie naked
Beyond the lies

A time to be satisfied approaches
Pressing through the clouds
That eclipse the light
And keep me from what is mine
