Poems
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
