Beauty and Despair

Traveling the road 

Of beauty and despair
A convoluted journey, truth be told
That two such vastly different means 

Of sight and heart
Should blend so seamlessly 

Seems hardly possible
Yet hand in hand 

Through bitter life they go
At times inseparable 

if truth be told

There is a fair beauty 

In despair
A tantalizing anguish  found in 

Shattered dreams

The tormenting destruction 

Of our sweetest hopes
Remnants swirling broken at our feet
Hold fascination for us in the  

Sweet despair

And beauty in the tatters 

Of our dreams
