A Lovers' Serenade

Late at night on our favourite bench we sit beside the shimmering lake as hand in hand we talk in mellow undertones; wrapped in moonlight’s embrace we kiss, a taste of burgundy lips, hearts beating to the rhythm of the lapping waves – a lovers’ serenade. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Callus ~ 24th December 2014 Contest: Enchantment through a Prism Sponsor: Nette Onclaud (3) Moonlight Serenade Placed: 4th
