Loves Place

I bring a gift a place for you

That holds your hearts desires

A room to soothe the weary mind

And find love waiting there

The golden glow of crackling flames

Meet in every corner

Reflecting on the silver frames

That feed nostalgic eyes

And mingle with the heady scent

Of red roses weeping softly

On darkly lustrous wood

Close by the fragile hand

That draw the drapes of richest wine

Against the nights cold stare

Then move to douse the flickering lamps

Till shadows dance no more

Soon trusty darkness tiptoes in

And leads you down towards

Embracing folds of silken sleep

Deep in a gift of love
