Afraid of the dark- from the very start, Afraid of what it had to offer
She walked into his dimlit cave,
No care for anything thereafter.
Her consciousness just fueled the trance,
His monstrosity making her humane.
She knew full well, the repercussions that entailed
But when does one want love that's mundane?
The waves of desparation broke at her feet.
So she walked in, breaking every known wall,
From the safety of a littoral, secure and serene,
She dived in, head on.
Inanimate life, in a lonesome lawn,
Under skies blue and dark.
Echoing in the emptiness of his soul,
Her voice,borrowed from a lark.
With the nightfall, more silence came,
Broken by her hallowed screams.
The days were long gone, far far away,
As were her golden dreams.
But she loved and cared, and sang and loved,
And his cold eyes did see color,
Red orange and gold, he saw every hue.
And the warmth in his heart was uncovered
And then he knew of them, of her and love.
And he took in his hands her hands blue.
Beast loved and cared and sang and loved.
And loved Beauty all eternity through.
