The Awaited Agony: Beauty and the Beast - A Gothic Etymology - Part V – A Beauty for the Beast



PS: The lines of ‘Beauty’ are written by Beneeta Xavier.

Beast:
Your Iris as wet as the rain that pours down when I see them,
I’ll spill mine to see your daze;
Your breath as gentle as heaven,
Like a flower steadfast in a frigid stem;
I’ll write you a poem forever with no pen!

Beauty:
Like rainbows in the rain,
You’re breath for a terrain;
Like meadows in a plain,
This breath for you makes me go insane.

Beast:
Why ponder when thine heart resides in mine;
You’re a clock to a pendulum to this heart’s chime.
If a sea could write itself a tide;
These eyes to you are none but cries!!!!

Beauty:
            Then stumble and fall if you dare,
            Into this tremendous lair!
            For in it you find care,
            A flower that truly scares!
