entered the darkness of the night.
No where was there ever to be

Upon the floor her dress did fall,
her shoulders bare; naked to all.
I lay enchanted by the sight;
finding myself in such delight

at such perfection burning there.
And at that moment in the room,
a breeze blew in uncertain doom.
Her neck and hair did slightly sway.
My hopes and dreams melted away.
Her memory, like wax remains.
