Poem Artwork

Who is the Beauty, when
is the Beast of You, or are
you betwixt and between?

~Contemplate, if you will~

Sometimes the beauty of your soul
shines...
Sometimes the beast in your heart
bites...
Do you know which
and when you are?

~Forever to be a combination,
if you will~

With forthcoming significance...
The Beauty is to tame the Beast for
authentic happiness to rule within

(c) Betwixt and Between

The old fairy tale tells us that the love of the Beauty transforms the Beast into a hansome prince. Maybe there is a clue here. Love conquers all.
I suspect we all enjoy our inner beast now and again.

The containment of good and evil and the uncertainty of which will prevail, well said...

I truly believe we are all a combination or perhaps a blending of beauty and beast, good and bad, ying and yang. We lose control sometimes of the beast but hopefully beauty will always shine through.f

hopefully that taming happens because the less beast that comes out the more beautiful you are.

Yep, Vivian, we all have that Beast lurking inside us. Sometimes it rises to lash out at the unsuspecting. It is a life-long challenge to keep the Beast under control.
