I thought love was beautiful

But love is only pain

An intricate storm of loveliness

Thunderheads and rain

White-capped waves and shells

Strewn across dirty sand

Flotsam-jetsam worn words

Blowing sheets, rain water-ragged

The ugliness of broken things

Hearts together and torn assunder

Lightning and wind-tossed trees

And the agony is beautiful

Like a storm upon the sea.
