And it was good

In the beginning, was the word

As simple, as pure, as it was beautiful

…and it was good.

He saw her, she saw him

As simple, as pure, as it was beautiful

For the word burned within both

…and it was good

At first the word

Raged furious intense

Stolen glance

Fleeting touch

As simple, as pure, as it was beautiful

…and it was good

Trembling steps

Fearful mouths

Awkward in silent whispers, lest the power of the word destroy

As simple, as pure, as it was beautiful

…and it was good

As the word carried freedom

Total

In the carefree caress

Acceptance

Total

In the longing gaze

As simple, as pure, as it was beautiful

…and it was good

Perhaps too good

Adjectives and verbs began to clutter

The lover’s literature

Tongues slowly become mute

Perhaps fearful

Perhaps wanting

The word to forget them

If they could only forget it

But

The word would always remain

As simple, as pure, as it was beautiful

…and that was good

...and that is good

...and that shall ever be good

As simple, as pure, as it was beautiful
