This picture inspired me to write this poem

* * *

Beyond the ivy covered window
There is a warm and cosy fire
Two lovers snuggle close together
As the flames of love grow higher

For so long she has been waiting
For her lover to return
Now like the embers in the fire
How her love begins to burn

He had been away for so long
His tender touch she missed
Now they reacquaint themselves
With a long passionate kiss

She looks more beautiful than ever
He has waited for so long
Asbence made his heart grow fonder
His love for her now is so strong

Her eyes speak of passion
Of a burning deep desire
As he lowers her very gently
Beside the golden glow of the fire

Love has found it's rightful place
As they make love where they lay
Two hearts sing a joyous song
For love's come home to stay

"My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs bear the thickest fruit
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love has come to me"
