monsters don’t only live in the dark
they can inhabit the light as well
in crystal castles or silky meadows
or knee-deep in marshmallow rivers
no warning, all charge, the unicorn rises
threatening death with thunderous hooves
it seems the most innocent of creatures
can also run plum out of patience
beautiful and elegant, it gores you
your viscera entangled in its mane
horn arcs, glints like wine spilled in the sun
yes, this is no mere ruby’s sparkle
even gargoyles, devils, trolls and wolves
fear the unicorn’s territorial will
because not only can it disembowel
it will also shit rainbows over your corpse
so remember kids, monsters are real
they’re just not always what you would think
now close your eyes, listen to a lullaby
about crystal castles and silky meadows…

As I’ve probably said before, it’s the magic you create with words that keep me spellbound…for better or for worse

Whoohaah, Tony. What magically horrific imagery. Note to self: See a unicorn do not provoke. Just run. Thanks, Gary

“It will also shit rainbows over your corpse.” That line will stay with me. Thank goodness, you’ve seen the beast for what it truly is! 🙂
