Firelight

Firelight warm and welcoming
thick fur rug spread before it
candle lights flickering softy
red wine in tall fluted glasses

Rested on the mantle reflected
in the mirror in hazy tones
casting a soothing atmosphere 
with an air of expectancy

The hopes of people now long gone
linger adding a peaceful note
inviting lovers to come in
to dally a few hours away

Step inside relax with some wine
let your mind go off where it will
set yourself free let love take flight
embrace love with an open heart
