Beauty And The Beast
By andhaka
Do you see her standing there?
With thick curly golden hair
Mesmerizing turquoise eyes
Innocent, happy, angelic, wise
Are you watching her ivory gown?
Graciously pooling on the marble ground
Snuggly fitting her bodacious physique
Melodious words, tongue in cheek.
Tinkling laughter filling the room
Naïve bud awaiting bloom
Drenched in perfection from head to toe
She’s the girl everyone wishes to know
But look a little closer, what do you see?
A scarlet scar on her knee
And as I watch her eyes turn black
With a snap her bones crack
She grows taller, muscular, and clear
Jagged incisors, exposed sneer
Fur budding from lithe skin
This is what she’d always been
Sharpened talons slash open my chest
Crimson seeping from my breast
Reaching in, she clasps my heart
Twisting and jerking she tore it out
Pulsating, throbbing, in her beasty palm
Midnight eyes no longer aplomb
Licking slimy cracked lips
I saw my heart in her grips
She made me watch her devour it
Watched my blood blend with spit
Watch her peel my arteries away
One by one, I watch with dismay
Now I am a part of her
With her blood, my blood does stir
Oh what a masochistic feast
I am the beauty as well as the beast

Aha loved the twist, and it really strikes to the point that judging someone on their appearance can be dangerous as well as foolish.

Thanks, and yeah the phrase "don't judge a book by it's cover" is something of a life motto for me, as i have made some bad judgments in the past. i'm glad you enjoyed : )
