In My Room
Red silk drapes,
frame this window
This fireplace,
embers glow,
dominates this space
Snow falling outside,
stark trees,
softened in white,
part of the big freeze
I am in my room
These walls,
lined with books,
break up the gloom
Crackle of wood,
embers glow,
lighting up the room so
Shadows loom,
dancing flame
I'm glad you came......
In to my room
This high ceiling,
ornate so
All this gold leaf,
beyond belief
Tapestries of rich green and gold
keep out this cold
beside..........
where you sat,
the fireside cat
These old paintings
broodingly look down
Old gentlemen,
with measured frown
In my room,
a map of the world
In my room............
my life unfurled
Flickering firelight,
embers glow
All outside,........white
Inside,..........warm so
Cosy chair,
cosy chat,
fireside cat
In my room,
away from doom and gloom
Flickering firelight,
All out side,........white
All inside .........quiet
In my room,
tall silver candlesticks shine,
with steady flame
Soft glow,
on wood so
I'm glad you came
Soft scent of pine,
drifts through,
as we drink the red wine,
from crystal so fine,
sparkling too
In my room,
flickering firelight,
illuminating the gloom
Snow outside,
soft and white
