“This way, ” he said “and let’s explore, ” br I followed him towards the door. br Chimneys I noticed, rising tall, br and windows all around the Hall. br Impressed I walked along the drive, br the house imposing, bricks deep red. br The garden shrubs and flowers thrived, br wisteria hung above our heads. br br “Spectacular views around the Lake”. br “Let’s see, ” I said, still in his wake. br “The Library was a splendid sight, br so many books, to such a height”. br “But such a ceiling, so ornate, br With rich designs above our heads”. br “The bedrooms like a room of State”, br “But, oh, such drapes around the beds”. br br Skirting the Lake, meandering, br recalling scenes, such pampering. br The setting sun set Hall aglow, br the many glinting windows show. br “Your hair, like Autumn, ” you told me, br “like glowing embers, bricks deep red”. br Then as I paused and turned to see br you kissed, entwined in lovers’ thread.
