I like the darkness
It falls over me - (Falls over me sounds like it trips, how about 'It surrounds me' or 'It covers me')
Like a warm cloud - are clouds warm? As it's night, why not 'warm blanket?'
Seemingly unaware of its mystery
It trespasses upon others,
But enlivens me. - would 'invigorates' sound better in this context?
The darkness refuses to speak,
But insists on enveloping me.
I kick, I scream, I laugh, I cry,
And am renewed by the night. - to emphasize the 'I' repetition of the last line, how about 'I am renewed by the night'?
I like the darkness
For I am alone in my thoughts
And the night is my canvas
With endless possibilities.
Every night the stars may sparkle, No need for 'every night' in this line
And the stars may fade,
The moon may shine
And the moon may wane
But the night remains,
A portal to the universe.
I really like this poem, it is very well written.
