Beauty and the Beast

Born a garden fairy tale

Stands a simple rose

A story only she can tell

A story no one knows

Her beauty shines for all to see

But she's so much more than that

She longs to set her lover free

But can't see where he's at

The thorns that sit upon her stem

Will keep them far apart

She'll always be a part of him

He'll always have her heart

Deformed and twisted, not quite right

Not fit to look upon

He's buried deep and out of sight

Destined to be alone

This love between a rose and root

Will never be released

A love that he would not pollute

This beauty and the beast

Ah, a love that's never to be...How sad. I love how you portrayed the rose and the root here. Very clever, and the rhyming is spot on. I love a poet that has that rhythm of rhyme down pat, and you definitely have it right. Great stuff, Whiskurz!
