Beauty, Beware

Member since 2002 · Posted 8 Jul 2002 · 4 comments

Beauty, beware of the Beast, he will come for you tonight. Though neither soul nor heart is fair he is the dragon of this lair. And even if you could evade, the artifice is everywhere amidst this castle of a cage- A dark dungeon, himself ensnared. Beauty, beware of the Beast, he lies awake tonight. His hunger insatiate for either love or hate. If you would do neither, still, you learned too late. He has become enraged- by your teasing, not by fate. Beauty, beware of the Beast you could not escape tonight. Tonight or ever since- not every Beast becomes a Prince.

dissatisfaction comes with the poem...in all its many forms

thank you,
I myself don't quite know where the inspiration came from.
I set out to write something, because I feel I had to, but I didn't know what to write......after the first few lines, i thought of the title, and from there I moved on...and completed the poem in one night. No edits.
