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
