Beauty And Beast Poem by Concetta Salter

Beauty surrounds you.
Why hide in the dark?
They don’t see the truth.
No, they just see the scars.

Under your flesh though,
There’s beauty within.
There’s a heart made of gold.
There’s a soul without sins.

Please may I ask you,
To be by my side?
Can a favor you do?
Can you join me tonight?

Let us dance under stars.
Let us breathe in the wind.
Let’s embrace what is ours.
Let us share our first kiss.

While others don’t like you.
I’ve found that I’m drawn.
You stand for the truth,
While they stand for what’s wrong.

They judge be the flesh,
What is lurking within.
And while I could care less.
All your scars make them cringe.

I’m here rite beside you.
And nothing they say,
Can make me find truth,
In their hurtful cruel claims.

Monsters can’t love.
And I know that you do.
There’s love in your touch.
And there’s love inside you.
