Note: This sonnet is based on the same idea of Belle and Adam's wedding night but concentrates more on the character of Adam.
Sonnet 6: Wedding Night (Adam)
A fawn here lies, her keen eyes full of fear,
Legs lie stretched out, as she anticipates
Him. But she pants- half hopes he won't appear
To touch her white rose, but still, here she waits.
A nearby shrub shakes and her heart runs wild,
Her hunter comes to steal her innocence,
A tiger proud, untamed, her will beguiled
By amber eyes burning like fire, intense.
He does not hesitate to crouch and leap
Upon her. Rough yet soft, the rose runs red,
This pain, at first, it makes her want to weep,
And all the rose's blood stains their grass bed.
The fawn is lost beneath his orange fur,
A doe emerges from his gentle purr.
I know this may seem a bit unconnected to the Beauty and the Beast fandom but I decided to go for something a bit more symbolic. The fawn (innocence) is representative of Belle and the tiger (passion, sensuality) of Adam. The first animal compared to the second was also intended to show something pure and beautiful against something more aggressive and beastly, if you will. Also, the couplet shows coming of age and maturity. As she loses her virginity she becomes a woman (a doe), essentially.
Thanks a lot for reading. Feel free to suggest any ideas for the next sonnet in a review. :)
