Night

Summer turns as Autumn yeilds

Adorns her glorious cape

Red wine warmed held in our cups

As we plan our great escape

Nearly empty or glass half full

Your smile across the room

Take my hand lead me to bed

Night air in window looms

Read away the light of day

Ocean filled tales on seas

Hair dishevelled, laughter small

As you read so quietly

Moon looks down from kingdom high

Curtains shiver

Cars pass by

Quiet our thoughts from time inside

A quiet life now in which we hide
