Unfinished Poem

The look of a newborn baby
The kiss of two lovers
The warmth of a family
The love of parents.

These are all beautiful things.
Their beauty is sometimes tangible
Sometimes not, but they are
Unarguably beautiful.

The touch of the one you love
The embrace of a grandparent
The caress of a tender child
The arms of a dear friend.

These are all beautiful things.
Their beauty is sometimes tangible
Sometimes not, but they are
Unarguably beautiful.

I have always known beauty tinged with pain.
I want to know beauty as it is, alone.
