Beauty & the Beast.

Crying eyes,

Undying mind,

You try to run,

But you just can't find,

The one you seek,

Could it be me?

I just don't know,

But can you see?

Look past my face,

See into my heart,

I'm not like you,

You work of art.

I know I deserve,

One chance at least,

But we're stuck in a game,

Of beauty and the beast.

This is great. It's the silver and grey side to a storm cloud. There is room for the reader to imagine so many possibilities through the words and come up with their own perception. That's a sign of a brilliant write from a great writer. Kudos mate, keep on keeping on.

To see past the physical into the heart, the soul. The world is a superficial beast of its own making, we are a shallow people but if true beauty lies within some of us can see it. I like this, it's a a cry to be truly seen beyond the outside appearance.

Roy, you're such an excellent writer. I must give you that credit and this poem is a great example of that statement too. I love the theme and idea of Beauty&the Beast. It's a great story of falling in love with someone for who they are instead of what they look like. I'm the type of person to love what lies within instead from the outside. I mean don't get me wrong, if you're good looking too that's a plus for me to deal with. We live in a messed up world so not everyone's minds works as nice as mine or even yours too. Wonderful job from the beginning to the very end line and word! The rhyming scheme and flow was constant and splendid! :)

No mistakes at all, nice poem overrall.

"The one you seek,
Could it be me?
I just don't know,
But can you see?" --Those lines are beautiful. I sometimes used to ask myself those questions when crushing on a guy that's so totally out of league.

"Look past my face,
See into my heart"--I wish everyone could do that instead of vice versa. Don't you agree with me?
