Note: This sonnet is from the Beast's POV, describing Belle's entrance in the iconic yellow dress.
Sonnet 1: Belle
A door unlocks: at once I'm in a dream,
Such sights should not greet unbefitting eyes,
Diamonds do glimmer and stars they do gleam,
But no stars dare brighten mine sombre skies.
Coarse wood seems smooth under fingers caress,
Feet glide with swan's grace over heaven's lake,
Soft satin glows from gold emblazoned dress,
And stone walls quiver in these footsteps wake.
Deep brown meets blue, uncertainty herein,
Divine light must not touch a shadow's gloom,
But be it angel's wish again I'll sin,
And let from shadows love's red roses bloom.
Afraid am I to steal too long a glance,
As we bow low and smile, to touch to dance.
Feel free to leave any suggestions you might have for the next sonnet.
