Beauty Slumbers Among Cold Grey Stone Walls

Cold grey dark stone walls Gothic arched windows candle lit stately halls Spiral worn staircase and along the whispering corridors To the bedroom where a beautiful angelic girl is lost in slumber her porcelain like face bathed by the ambient light of an illuminating moon and bejewelled velvet sky She gently rests in a blue satin dress clutching a red rose to her tender breasts. Her full plump lips and long auburn medieval corkscrewed hair A picture of alluring femininity and untainted ravishing beauty beyond compare. The virgin lost in wistful enchanting dreams where fireflies dance under the stars and unicorns drink from silver ribboned streams. The cold walls around her continue to hold their secrets as the burning glowing flickering embers at the fire place cast shadows on those stark walls until the night goes to rest and she rises like the summer warming sun to the sound of joyous bird song As another day as fresh as a first kiss has begun.
