Rich brocade encircles and embraces:
Intertwining vines and tendril laces;
Golden heart of blood-red flower races;
Veiling now the blushing virgin faces;
Cupid's haunt of verdant, mossy places;
Richest cream now fills the breathless spaces.
I took a postcard my mother had sent me of The White Bedroom at Cotehele house, Cornwall as my inspiration today.
The words describe the wonderful material forming the curtains for the four-poster bed, but could also apply to what might go on behind those curtains.
