Unicorn Tapestry Gilded Cherubs

A thousand candles around a tranquil green lake Raindrops began splashing circles into the water White lead face paint red cinnabar alibaster skin Sleek and smooth prominent jaw amiable smile Strong Italian accent suits of silver Fiddler plays Unicorn swung its horn fought the ropes puffing Silver hooves crushing the rushes Nostrils flared Frozen tears around her neck , thick and dark red A shriek in the courtyard Just a nightmare Sat up A silver goblet of spiced wine nipped her tongue Hot sweet ginger nutmeg cinnamon Dark lashes
