The Beauty and the Beast-W

Tumbled hair eyes sapphire with twinkling stars Never to be missed to kiss were her pouty lips. She accepted a man who offered her bounties. Knowing there was a beast in him though. She thought he is now a man changed The skin he wore has been sloughed off. As the time passed when her beauty faded. She had to comb her hair artfully Embellishing her neck & wrists with jewellery But, alas! No semblance of the girl she was. The heavy steps in the night she used to hear With creaking sounds of the wooden stairs Leading but to the bedroom of her daughter. She broke loose one day to silence those steps. ============================= Dr. Ram Mehta Contest: Any poem goes 4th place win
