Once upon a time

Before they gave time a mind

There lived a young man

 Raised in deep forest pines.

Where the winters were cold

 And the food was scarce 

he watched a princess 

Brush her dainty hair

Her skin was mocha

 And her hair reached for the sun like flowers

And he sat in a tree every day watching her for hours

Everyday five minutes after midnight 

She left the tower away from the safety light 

Into the forest where no one could find her 

Little did she know a beast was behind her.

She was searching for a sun kissed cherry rose

A wish would be granted 

If she let the scent enter her nose 

Or so she had been told

The legend told that there was only one rose 

And the whereabouts of it 

Nobody knows

Only that it appears five minutes after midnight 

In a medal made of gold

Beauty had to find this for she had only one wish

I'll make my self beautiful with just one sniff 

All the princes in the kingdom refused to marry 

Because they failed to see that Beauty was extraordinary 

Beyond her scars left by a wicked beast

Beauty was special and unique 

It was one thing she did not know about this tale

The flower was guarded by a man with a tail. 

She wandered and wandered 

until the gold meadow appeared 

In the very middle 

the rose was revealed 

It sparkled and it shined, 

its beauty was truly Divine

Beauty grew closer to almost touch 

But the beast would not let her get close enough

When he appeared it frightens Beauty indeed 

He came closer and said I know you are in need 

I'm am the guardian of the flower

 I was given only one seed

I am the one you must speak to 

Before you proceed.

Beauty swallowed her fear and said with guts 

I seek one wish if that's not too much 

Go right ahead sniff if you please 

But every night you must prick your finger until it bleeds

And if you forget to simply do this

Something will happen worst than this

So tell me dear girl what do you wish for 

To once again have skin that is pure

A wicked beast left these ugly scars

And he killed my mother 

while I lay in her arms

Why I'm still alive 

I do not know why 

But as ugly as I am

 I should have died 

So if this is what I must do, then I must 

and she sniffed the rose deeply 

And exhaled with a huff

Then she pricked her finger with no fuss

The man beast watched Beauty return home saddened that he once again was alone. 

I shall see you again when you return 

And hope that your heart 

I may some day earn 

Or else I am stuck as a wretched beast 

 And every moon fall on the innocent

 I must feast

And soon I'll be damned to this forever hell once the last petal on the rose has fell

And I pray you never forget to prick your finger tip

Or you too will die just as your mother did

For I am bound to this blood thirsty spell 

Unless true love finally prevails 

Your wish has made me stronger 

And I can appear human longer

When Beauty woke up she was all brand new 

Her skin beard no scars and her confidence grew.

Her happiness lasted until midnight fell And it dwindle away 

I must go and prick my fingers and I shall not delay

When she made it to the meadow there was no beast but a fellow 

And he sang a beautiful song written in acapello 

Beauty's face blushed red 

I come seeking the beast and here be a man instead 

Beauty went to prick her fingers until it bled but was sidetracked by the man who asked to dance instead 

Beauty knew that she should have said no but something inside allowed her to go

And they danced and dance until her feet were sore and after that they danced some more

Beauty had never had so much fun in her life

She thanked the man for a wonderful night 

Before they parted their ways beauty did not forget to give her finger a single prick 

This continue for weeks 

Until beauty was dreaming of him in her sleep 

By now her fingers were sore and weak 

But for the love this condition she would keep 

Until one day everything changed 

Her father announced a wedding was to be arranged 

A prince finally agreed to marry Beauty because now everyone could see her beauty

Beauty now knew this was end 

And now she may never see her friend again 

You leave for a ship tomorrow at dawn

To marry the prince of the east named Sean 

Beauty’s heart sank all at once 

At five past 12 

She ran in the forest 

And when she got to meadow she couldn't believe the horror  in the Beast's jaws

Was a man's neck and a ground covered in bones 

Beauty froze with fright and fear 

Searching for the man who was not here. 

It is me the man you love 

But it's a beast you truly love

He wiped his mouth with a snicker and returned back to his manly figure

Beauty began to tear and cry

Yet the love for him did not die

He he came close until they were eye and eye 

Tell me was it you who killed my mother ?when my life months were nine ?

Was it you who separated us and left no remains behind?

A little baby me was all the knights could find?

Yes it was I 

Then I never wish to see you 

And you can ball up and die

And Beauty ran back to the castle 

Where the sun met the sky 

And without pricking her finger

She said her final good byes

Suddenly the winds began to race

And the clouds filled the skies at a fast pace

And deep in the forest the stillness changed 

A evil howl from the forest grew 

And any villager nearby was sliced in two

Word soon spread that a beast was on the rise 

And at once the king sent out his best knights 

And into the woods they went prepared to fight 

But not one night made it alive

And the kingdom was then sent another surprise 

The prince's earliness to arrive

And quickly as the princes ship touched shore 

He was brought into safety behind the castle doors

I know how to bring peace to the land once more 

I must marry the princess so the beast can be sure

That he has failed to find love 

And must now give up 

Quickly then call on the priest said the king 

Today is the last day the wicked shall feast 

And Beauty was dressed in a gown all white 

And as she walked down the aisle 

She did night feel right 

She starred into the prince's eyes and imagined a beast before her sight 

And she questioned her heart on loving a creature of the night 

As twisted and as true 

The love she had for him was all she knew 

And as the prince said his I do

The blocked door became undone 

And in came her beast all at once

Take me away far from the land 

And the beast leap from the balcony with Beauty in his other hand 

And they ran back to the meadow 

Where beauty remembered meeting a fellow 

I apologize for all that I've done

But things can be different and you are the one 

To reverse the spell so no one else gets hurt 

But it must be fast before the last petal hits the dirt

Please Beauty let me take you for a wife

Leave all your riches and royalty behind 

Before the rose you've always been beautiful in my eyes

I watched you before in your tower so high and I waited for the day your love would leap from the sky 

Then tell me my beast how do I make you mine

Do not prick your finger this time

And your wish  will die

But from there I will have you as my bride and from your neck I'll take a simple bite 

If your blood taste of a heart that is pure as gold 

Than a man’s hand you shall have to hold but if your blood taste of evil and deceit than for a husband you shall have a beast 

And you will be cursed as me to feast on the weak

To this condition beauty agreed 

and into her flesh he bit to bleed

At that moment the last rose fell at their feet

And there stood A Beauty and a Beast
