The illusion of
Beauty and the Beast
was much alive
in them
when the moon
was high and full.
She led with
seduction;
the way her
femininity
aroused the inner
beast
that was kept away
within himself,
but only she
could ever control.
How he knew
where
and how to touch her.
With such grace,
with such delicacy,
for she
was his entire
existence.
