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!
