i think the line is: "the night sky looks light blue", not "like blue".
and yes, i was certain it was "darling", not "dying".
i get the general impression that this is about a relationship that is primarily sexual. the narrator feels his partner has no control over himself, or her; she, her desires, are dominant in the relationship.
i think although there is sex, there is no intimacy. he desires it, but has to create it (using candles, etc). he admits that even this does not work though - it is for "beauty's sake" only, it does nothing to effect the relationship or the atmosphere. this then leads me to think that he is feining his "bliss".
not really sure though.
