I do believe, yes, sometimes beauty halts

[joel]

I do believe, yes, sometimes beauty halts
whatever chaos it confronts— and when
vast splendor stuns a cosmos used to plain
objective ordinariness, it can’t
but marvel in magnificence till comes
an equal, brilliant beauty. Timelessness—
I still endeavor beautiful to find
in verse of love that might remind
you: You I love with recklessness:
a carelessness that love for love becomes
as constancy. So if I hope to plant
some verse of beauty, that my love remain
a scar upon your soul that might again
remind you You I love, forgive my faults.
