San Simeon

Walk up the driveway
Endlessly curving
Go through the front door
It's so inviting
Baronial Great Hall
Once so exciting
Haunted by shadows
Faces in hiding

Chair by the fire
I feel a tremor
Silent reminder
You used to be there
You are the princess
My wanders wake you
Fantasy playmate
Candle light lover

San Simeon
San Simeon

Teasing in French
Lace exotic promise
So undemanding
Yet understanding
Each wall a picture
Some of his best work
Delicate touches
They're simply charming

Coffee table culture
Full colour pages
Props archetypal
Floral arrangement
Stereogram cabinet
Walnut veneer
True reproduction
No one can hear

Tiger skin rug love
I stroke, you bite me
Executive leather
Upholstered tightly
In the next room
Cocktails at seven
Soft lights, sweet music
Lounge thru eleven

Just walk in the garden
French windows open
Patio paving
Concrete and crazy
Roses in blossom
They're doing well this year
Geranium pattern
Shrub topiary

Lie on my lush lawn
Waterfall burdens
Drink at my fountain
Forget all your troubles
Forget all your troubles
Forget all your troubles
