Roses breathed to bosom, dusky evening,
Linen tablecoth, choice silverware,
Damask dress, trimmed velvet, black as midnight,
Mackintosh to Mackintosh high chairs.
Crystal leaded, claret perfumed, goblets,
Damson, berried, succulence so full,
Lips to edges, tongues explore, exploding,
Morsels delectating, savoured pull.
Salmon, oaken-smoked, slivers sweating,
Recline invitingly on cress with dressing bare,
Venison richly waiting for the sizzle,
Sides to touch, mere moments, serving rare.
Scattered cushioned silk upon the hearthrug,
Embers banked, maintaining just degree,
Freesia perfumed water by the fireside,
Elevating moisture tremulously.
Sparkling eyes aglow, pearlies nibbling
Cream on chill in earthenware to pour,
Forested kirsch and cherry brandy,
Coffee bubbling, ambient the air.
Lazy ease, recumbent postures, idling,
Somnabulent with sleep, determined smiles,
Comforted, sense comforted, piled hearthrug,
Rarest sensories for miles and wiles.
