The Beast In Beauty




Might He wondered in His own creation
Seeing the most excellent work ever He did
Might He murmured Himself,
‘Can’t I ever perhaps make such others?
Unaware of her exquisite beauty
Grew she like the wave of the sea
Unnoticed, she turned into a youth
Like the Lilly of the spring
Every step she moved
Illuminated she the celestial grace and charm
She was the pet of all
They said ‘poor she’
‘Creator didn’t do her just’
But she didn’t mind what she was
For being forbidden to see the beautiful world
But was intelligent enough to filter every word
Yet the laughter of plain eyes
Drew everyone’s attention twice
Like the high the tide of the sea
She rose and fell
As natural instinct, the heart she did unveil
To the finest man, whom she claimed
A strong man full of youth and vitality
Who loved her so dearly
They adored each other
Like do any crazy lover
They took walks everywhere
And vowed not to betray in any weather
They talked of their future plan
Sometimes they roamed in calm
She was the pet of him
They said ‘poor he’
‘Creator didn’t do him just’
As he was an ugliest stuff
A deep scar on his left cheek
Appeared to others a horrifying beast
A pair of deep eyes though were bright
Indicated left while the things were in the right
And long bent nose
Messed his all pose
But the profound love and care he gave
Made her wild and hysteric
Discontent made him was her eyes
Although elegance and virtues all she possessed
Still incomplete, he realized
He scolded the Creator
But with great devotion he called her God
Just to make her a perfect girl
Having heard his earnest prayer
With great thunder, in the compellation
Descended down the Creator
To make the secret clear
At once at His celestial touch
Enlightened her latent sight
She amazed how beautiful the world is
She could see the birds flying joyfully in the blue skies
Butterflies gliding above the colourful flowers
And she could make out ugly out of beauty
That’s what made everything worst
Strides she out horridly to the mirror
Astonished at her own towering beauty
Enthralled with joy, she turns back
Behind the bouquet hiding his face
Exited but the firm, uttered a familiar voice
‘Looking you gorgeous, my love’
‘Now you are my perfect girl’
A terrible current shocked her
As she seized the flower
Screamed she as if a ghost in front of her
And the mirror shattered behind her
The bouquet too scattered over the floor
‘Utterly intolerable’, urged her mind
Straight she said, ‘you no match to my beauty’
He bowed and begged for her love
Asked if he has committed any fault
Dumping his several earnest appeals
She left him like the leftover peel
Like a child he cried and yelled
Realizing his own error
For begging eyes for her
Rushed he home
Seeing swollen eyes
‘Condoled his mother, ‘poor my child’,
‘Learn to distinguish beast out of beauty
Outer beauty is temporary
Seek such a heart where lies inner beauty’
