Glowing embers, fallen ashes-

fine wine sipped from crystal glasses.

Both warm and cosy on the settee-

cuddling up close just you and me.

 

Candles flickering with music mellow-

of string quartet and a  fine bass cello.

I softly kiss and hold you tight-

whispering sweet nothings far into the night.

 

Another squeeze, a comforting hug-

as we gently slide down on to the rug.

Another glass of wine, with room now aglow-

I think it is time for us to go.

 

Up the stairs and so to bed-

nothing more to be done or said.

Now out with the lights, are you ready-

to fall asleep with me, your favourite teddy?
