Beauty, Beware (Free verse) by Jsylum Beauty, beware of the Beast,
he will come for you tonight.
Though neither soul nor heart is fair
he is the dragon of this lair.
And even if you could evade,
the artifice is everywhere
amidst this castle of a cage-
A dark dungeon, himself ensnared.
Beauty, beware of the Beast,
he lies awake tonight.
His hunger insatiate
for either love or hate.
If you would do neither,
still, you learned too late.
He has become enraged-
by your teasing, not by fate.
Beauty, beware of the Beast
you could not escape tonight.
Tonight or ever since-
not every Beast becomes a Prince.
Up the ladder:
Pandemonium
Down the ladder:
Your Mama

Dark and elaborate - I like it.
i like the first 2 stanzas, but the 3rd leaves me unsatisfied
thank you,
I myself don't quite know where the inspiration came from. I set out to write something, because I feel I had to, but I didn't know what to write......after the first few lines, i thought of the title, and from there I moved on...and completed the poem in one night. No edits. 149 view(s)
