Spelled Bound


Spellbounded by the beast
she surrenders
trapped by bondage
unseen to the eye.
Fearful of change
in her simple life
she becomes frozen
on the path of destiny.

The beast becomes ensnared
to enchantment of love
and devours the beauty's virgin heart
with divine lust.
He paces lost to visions
of this beauty
and feels the torment
of her heart within him.

Can he help her face
the fears and guide her
to her rightful place into his arms,
or will he wait
with anguish and despair,
hoping that she will over come
these fears alone?

Days pass
and only silence is heard
as she waits
yearning to be loved by the beast.
Knowing that she must soon
make her decisions
of sacrifices
that will forever change life.

The moon is full once more
luring the beast and the beauty
only in spirit do their hearts entwine
embracing love.
Engulfing them to ecstasy
of forbidden pleasures,
moments of heaven's
sweet bliss rapture their souls.

Will this love
withstand the test of time,
or will the spirit of love parish?
Do they simply not understand
that destiny
lies within their own hands?
