god, that was beautiful! you painted night on the internet. Wow!

nice. I think starting the poem with the simple statement "the night loves me" is highly effective: it drew my interest, made me curious. Only criticism (and this is being picky) is that "laughing as the nippy wind rushes by" - "nippy" sounds a bit too colloquial for the tone. However, thats just a tiny thing, and it was regardless a great read.
