The Unseelie court
The dwelling place of the fey
Knights and jesters
Wanderers and thieves
Mages and murderers
All united under the banner of their queen
Beguiling and terrifying both.
Ice and fire both, here its description goes
As told by sages of old

It is as beautiful as a feather in descent slow, as beautiful as entrails on the marble raw.
As beautiful as icicles, Faerie wings impaled
As beautiful as diamond, mortal blood they trail
As beautiful as poppies, broken hearts they bloom
As beautiful as looms, human hair they weave
As beautiful as lark, sorrow is her song

Beauty and Beast
Sorrow and Euphoria
Pleasure and pain
This court of Fey is all things said
So beware mortals who dare tread
In the world of the moonlit veil's stead

Remember
Eat no food
And touch no wine
For if touched, a spell they weave
To bind the soul and break iron will
Till you are a puppet on strings
To jerk and twitch as they please.
Till discarded
Like a rag doll in the rain
A stain unwashable
For nothing will remove the taint of fey.
Which remains upon you, until the soul will stray
The taint unwashable, thrown away
Longer version
When in doubt watch lord of the rings
The unseelie court is like a "evil" faerie court
(technically no faerie is good)

Well done, and you are very right my friend. No Fae is "Good". I certainly like your work...
