Beauty and the beast

I wanted to tell the story of beauty and the beast with a twist

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

By Jennifer L David

She:

Once upon a time life was gray

No song

No laughter

No happily ever after

 

I watched and waited

Locked away

 

Once upon a time life would say

No Life

No love

No god from above

 

Up in tower,

 No concept of an hour

 

Once upon a time I would pray

For beauty

For time

For mine

 

No rhyme

Could bring me mine

 

Once upon a time I wished for the day

When the sun

The moon

And angels would take me away…

----    -------     ---------       ------ ------ -------

He:

Fearing the danger, not so far

I run to reach that the tower in fear of scars  

 

To safety

To shelter

From the wind and weather

-----   --------       -----------     -------- ----   -----

She:

Once upon a time I heard you say

No shelter

No safety

Yes danger that way

 

A place to be

Slumber was your need

 

Once upon a time I let you prey

For energy

For Speed

For health

 

Eat, Eat

 

Once upon a time you whisked away

My fears

My scars

My hollow heart

 

What way you must be

To have seen my beauty indeed

 

------ -------    --------  -------------

He:

A fortunate man I am

To come across such I crippled lamb

 

In need of the love I bleed

Take some, take all you need

 

Oh lovely creature of the night

Has seen never thine eyes in the light

 

Hidden to the world below

I must teach you all that I know

 

For the only beast I see

Is the one who won’t let you be

 

Who hides you in this retched tower

from all with in an hour

 

Love struck

By nothing but luck

 

I will give you all, including me  

 

--------- -----------      -----------  ----------------

She:

Once upon a time I wrote a rhyme

 When life was grey

And all I could say and pray

Everyday

Was that you would one day whisk me away

 

--------- -------------------------   ---------------

He:

The fairest you see

You are mine indeed

Not a beast

But a beauty

Forever we will be

 

------ ---------- --------- -----------

She:

Once upon a time I fell in love

With you

And me

Forever we shall be

 

 And clearly I now see

That the angels truly watch over me
