The night walked straight into my house
Took off her skin under the light
Upon the chair, she placed her blouse
Jumped into bed, right by my side
And there in silence, sparks ignited
We burned in passion’s warm embrace
And in our bodies, cells collided
And in our minds, thoughts were laced
So sudden, almost on a whim
We fell in love, so wild, peeling
Fulfilled with pleasure to the brim
We lied in bed, eyes on the ceiling
And on the desk, the candle flickered
In a seductive, tempting breeze
It slowly melted and disfigured
Upon the plate, its wax would freeze
Its shadows danced, but light was fading
Outside, through creaking of the frost
I barely heard the winds debating
I closed my eyes and all was lost
Woke up alone, half in dismay
I found a note, which read in grieving
“I’m sorry Love, I couldn’t stay
I’ll make it up to you this evening”

Some of this confused me. What do you mean by...
Took off her skin under the light.

When "Upon the chair she placed her blouse" follows that line I am taken back a few steps from where you had brought me.

lied in bed....now lay would have been a better choice of words unless you are implying untruths being told. If you are it doesn't really work with the theme here. If you were both speaking untruths then the end wouldn't be the shock (or half shock) I think intended in this piece.

Thanks Marilyn for your critique. I really do appreciatte it. "Took off her skin under the light..." I agree that this line should not be followed by "Upon the chair she placed her blouse" But I love that line and I would definitly like to keep it in the poem. As for lied-- it should be "lay" I made a mistake there.
Thank you Tina!
