Beneath a brutish guise, in shadow and form,

Resides a heart that beats steady and warm.

You're more than the fright that first meets the eyes,

Bearing the wisdom of one who is wise.

Eyes glowing embers, a soft fire's delight,

Veiling a soul of gentlest might.

Your voice echoes a song, enchanting, unique,

Bringing peace and comfort to those who seek.

Gnarled fingers, sturdy as aged oak,

Belie whispers of the gentlest folk.

The hardness you bear is not your soul,

It's just a facet of the heart as a whole.

Within your grand stature, silence runs deep,

Your silence, a lullaby for a gentle sleep.

Your presence is soothing, like a quiet stream,

Wrapping me in a peaceful dream.

Mystifying, strange, full of charm,

The rugged enchantment of your arm,

As a safeguard, it keeps the night's fear at bay,

Casting a radiant, comforting ray.

Our tale, unique, like stars to the night,

Where love is not bound by mere sight.

Your beastly form, to some may scare,

But I see beauty in your solemn stare.

Do not let this world change your grace,

Do not let your inner beauty erase.

Remember, the beast is but a mask you wear,

But your kindness and love, none can compare.

Your heart is not fierce, but filled with care,

A love like ours is surely rare.

To me, Beast, you are all beauty and peace,

And our love, may it never cease.

In my humble heart, there lies a gentle gaze,

Eyes aflutter in the lantern's soft haze.

Though my skin bears the guise of a monstrous maw,

You've glimpsed a warmth under its cragged jaw.

Amid these shadowed halls, your light does bloom,

Rescuing my soul from its eerie gloom.

For 'tis your virtue that spins life's sonnet,

Awakening the human heart in this beast’s bonnet.

Your voice like a lark sings at morning's rise,

Calling forth the sun in azure skies.

Even the grey stone cold under beast's stride,

Thrives beneath your step, where sweet warmth abides.

How gently you dance through my endless night,

Radiating peace, you’re my eternal light.

Beauty in name, but even more in truth,

Yielding a love, a soul so resolute.

Cloaked in coarse fur, hid under giant’s frown,

Inside I’m a prince awaiting his crown.

Dwelling within this gruff, grizzled hide,

There lies a heart, you, Beauty, have revived.

Gaze upon me with gentle eyes, so sweet,

Though I be beast, you make my heart complete.

Should this beast's rough touch make your love retreat,

Always remember, for you it does beat.

Through towering spires, echo this heart’s roar,

Your beauty tames the beast forever more.

O’er vast distance or the ravage of time,

This beast shall love his beauty, for you’re sublime.
