Like Beauty and the Wretched Beast

  Like Beauty and the Wretched Beast Our love is like the dark cold of night and the warm light of the day Mine cold dark and lonely, as if it were one's last breath Yours is like the light of day, warm bright, and surrounded by life By others and their love of you Like beauty and that wretched beast were, we are My love is like tomorrow, which is always coming But, yet it never seems to arrive Yours is like today Which is always departing from me? But, yet it never does Why?

About This Poem

About the Author

Region, Country: U.S. A. Indiana, Valparaiso, USA

Favorite Poets: Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Carl Sandburg these I have read some And so Many More. I have no Favorite or any that I dislike. Whom I consider to be poets; of course there are many Dark and hateful souls, who would cry out and to I will lend an ear, but some. They just leave a awful taste in my heart that I can not bear to read twice. Let alone as many times I would do normally; as I must.
