23 February 2013
The door closed with a creak,
And shut behind me,
A monster to greet,
All shadows and hairy.
I look for an escape,
See the stairs loom above,
His breath on my nape,
Caressing like love,
Though I know the danger,
Why do I linger?
His eyes afraid,
They make me brave,
A guest at his castle,
All alone,
Whispers from plates and glasses,
Rooms bare to the bone.
To break a curse,
With a kiss of our love,
Beauty and the beast,
Let the story unfold....
