Beauty and the Beast

by @lorrainecolon

Love is the Beauty that overtakes Our every sense of being alive, The dew of Heaven that nourishes Each new dream, enabling it to thrive Love is the Beauty our eyes emit As it rekindles the lambent flame Cruelly extinguished when loneliness Comes to inhabit our weakened frame Love is the Beauty of eventide When every star in the universe Floods the sky with gold and silver orbs, And the moon prompts poets in their verse Love is the Beauty that ambles through The desolate chambers of the mind, Removing all the hopeless despair That loneliness often leaves behind Loneliness is the uncaring Beast That laughs while our broken spirit mourns, It suffocates our passions and dreams, Laying on the heart a crown of thorns The Beast of Loneliness is famine, Whereas Love is an infinite feast; To appreciate the joy Love brings, They both must exist ..... Beauty and Beast
