Serpentine & Elven

By Brea Morgiane

Serpentine and elven arms of grace hands reach to the heavens. sweet music, elemental, driven a smoky trace serpentine and elven. snake silk jewels giving an exotic taste hands reach to the heavens. drums sound heartbeat rhythm coins reflect the fireplace serpentine and elven. kohl-rimmed eyes a starry space serpentine and elven hands reach to the heavens.
