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, thrilling
Fulfilled with pleasure to the brim
We watched the smoke rise to the ceiling
Upon the desk, the candle flickered
From 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 heard the chilly 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”

dear master,
     absolutely beautiful... i'm not sure how to interpret this piece (or at least not quite sure how to do so correctly)... i can't decide if you have personified the night to such a great degree, discussing your bond with it... or whether the "night" is simply the symbol of a lover... either way, beautifully written and quite intriguing... the ending is sad, but with a ray of hope...

sincerely,
a sad tomato

 you're such a beautiful freak... i wish there were more just like you...

This is full of emotion and uses imagery that is very very powerful...especially 'night' and the candle which is atmospheric as well as symbolic.
Great!

"Hiding in the musty attic is Elusive
She sits, cross legged in a midst dark cobwebs
Several forms scurry to seek shelter
Beneath her levitating shadow.
Her back rigid , eyes glassy
Gazes intently at time escaping
Sliding, smoothly, as sand sprinkles
Through the hour glass,
A single tear grazes her misty cheek." Lani

N for the Soul, it was more of a personal bond with the night for me, but it could be read in both ways... I really don't think that this poem needs to be interpreted, it may touch different people in different ways. Thank you for responding, I wish I could read more of your work...(hint)

SP17, I'm glad you liked it and thank you for your compliments, I'm blushing*

Lani, thank you for your comments and welcome to the forum!

Gorgeous Master...I too have that connection with the night and can relate well.  You portrayed it with stunning beauty and great accuracy.  I stand in awe of your talent.
