ACW-UA POETRY : Popular ACW-UA Poet, Chyna launches " The man and the Beast"

The Man and the Beast. 

The wonders of how a man can own an angel and sought the clutch of a beast.

You'd think that with how perfect she was,

the thought to sought a beast would be one that'd forever be left unformed.

He was blessed with snow white, only the fairest of them all

Yet, he longed for Fiona, an ogler.

Why? you ask.

It baffles me too.

He had an Angel. A tamed one at that.

Kissed by Aphrodite, she had the beauty of a goddess.

As gentle as a dove. 

A lady of virtue and class.

A heart filled with love and affection only for him.

Dare I say she was God's trophy work. 

A perfection to say the least.

Fiona the Ogler?

Well she stood at opposites

Gentility was a term foreign to her

Shrek did say Oglers weren't made for love. 

Beauty?....Nope, far from it she was

Something to make Aphrodite shriek. 

Class? She'd be at the bottom of the hierarchy.

An angel or a beast?

Plata O Plomo?

Easy right?, well, he chose an Angel,

Yet, deep down he longed for the clutches of the beast. His beast.

Her wildness,

Her spirit of adventure,

Her ferocity and fierceness

All of these he found attractive. 

The angel made the hunt so easy

But the beast?, she made the chase worthwhile.

While in the tender arms of his angel

He thought of the unruly beast.

And with every kiss, he pictured Fiona. 

She really was unlike any woman he had met.

Her free spirit and courage was unmatched.

She wasn't the kind to bend her will

And break under tension 

She didn't fit in. 

Then again, she wasn't born to

He thought her unique.

She was boss of herself and wasn't to be swayed.

She was brave enough to utter the most magical words to him - "NO"

She'd done an art only angels could 

She cast a spell on him. 

The power of a beast

While he had an angel served on a platter 

He chose to work tooth & nails for a beast.

Indeed there was more to the beast than met the eyes, which he alone saw.

Beneath the surface lies a diamond. 

Lest we forget, Fiona had a princess to her

Adorned with majesty

Equally blessed with royal beauty 

But all these she had hidden away,

In an attempt to scare people away.

A royal beast

She indeed struck an equilibrium. 

She was the chase and the prize

The storm and the silence. 

The wild and the tamed. 

She was adventure. 

His Angel was only a part,

But the beast?

She had it all

She was it.

BACKGROUND OF THE POEM BY THE POET. 

While this piece can be interpreted by different people differently, What I had in mind while writing, was the idea of man having a perfection for a woman and yet he'd still be working really hard for another lady who has no interest in him whatsoever and isn't even half as good as his woman. Hence, the first two lines "The wonders of how a man can own an Angel and sought the clutch of a Beast".

In this piece, allusion is made not only snow white but also Fiona from the Disney animation "Shrek". Fiona in this case represents the beast, but there is more to her that only the man can see which propels him as to why he keeps chasing after her even though he has snow white the fairest of them all as his.
