Beastly Beauty Poem by Matthew Holloway

It's not a case of beauty and the beast
More like beauty is the beast
A breaker of thought, a madness
An unpleasant distraction at times
Leaving you more alone than ever
A richness that makes you poor
A feast that starves you
Something that is not quite right
Desire cuts deeply within you
Like a drug fulled rage
Controlling all stupid action
Eyes are blinded by that sight
In retrospect a final review
No edit to follow
Beauty is indeed the beast
