Running in the night

I know it better than the light 

 The night air caresses my face

like a silk ribbon upon my skin

Oh how I love the night

but most people would die of fright

for I am running from a dark creature of the night

it's body blends with the night 

An angel it may seem but a demon it is. a killer incarnate

run my love was all  heard when a flash of brilliant blur light engulfed my body.

and the night ever so foggy.

a man, tall and limber, eyes as blue as the sky above raised his hand and once again the blue light eluded the darkness of the night.

finally it was gone and the man smiled. he held out his hand and trustingly I took it, and we   disappeared into the night.

now here i stand in front of the man who saved my life.

Castiel was his name he was an angel of the lord who valued me over his own life.

I was his ruby, he was my sapphire. 

and together we protect the brothers.

the chosen brothers their names are Dean and Sam.

the Winchesters from the tales of old ride through night.

slaying monsters and demons. creatures of old. 

but the four of us together protect you all young and old

from the ever so real creatures of the everlasting night.

hello hello hello!

So firstly, I think there's some special things going on in this piece. It's a very...storytelling poem. So much so that you could honestly turn this into some sort of short story piece or few paragraphs. In that sense, the format can be confusing to the reader.

I can definitely see a sense of rhyme and rhythm, (which isn't necessary, just pointing it out that I'm sure you as the poet decided it to be this way). And I like some of your word choices. However, if I'd suggest any few things to improve on, it would be a better sense of punctuation and sectioning for this poem. I'd like to see it broken into stanzas of some kind, and especially find a smoother, easier punctuation style that's read-aloud-able and simply flowing when reading to yourself as well. That's probably the biggest thing hindering the connection between me as a reader and this piece.

You have a good start! Hope I helped a little :)

Keep writing!

you love to stay in the night for adventures; a mixture of fear and excitement that gives you thrills you are looking for. the night air caresses your skin like a ribbon...so soothing and comforting yet running away from a demon chasing you... i imagine you fearful yet smiling running far; where at last you got away because of some help... but that didn't end your thrill-seeking feeling... and still you continued..
i hope i hit the nail..

Ooooh! That beginning though! Magnificent, I just want to say :) it captivated me right away (oh little bit of a rhyme because this is a poem review ;))

Next, a couple little nitpicks I saw while reading. I'm not sure if you meant to do this, or if you just didn't see the mistakes, but:

"is body blends with the night"

I think it's either supposed to be "its body blends with the night" or "his body blends with the night"

Also, you end a lot of sentences (or whatever they're called in poetry) with "night", and it got a little repetitive.

But as a whole this was actually really good! I very much enjoyed reading it, and i think you're very skilled with poetry :)

Keep writing!

Hey,

Right off the bat SQUEE SUPERNATURAL! I have been waiting for a supernatural poem for way to long. Now that I think about it I don't see why I didn't just write one, like wow. Anyway I love this poem. I can't see a lot of nitpicks but here's what I found.

here i stand (I should be capitalized)

the chosen (T should be capitalized)

i am running (I should be capitalized)

trustingly i took it (Again capitalize your I)

Okay, I'm done. Not with errors but with pointing them out. What do you have against the letter I? Why must you ignore its capitalization rule! There is also some missing punctuation, but I cant even right now let along point out more errors. I also kinda feel like you could have had a wider vocabulary use in this poem. You used I statements a lot and it creates this feeling of repetition that really makes me wish you had used something else. Otherwise great poem! Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Collideascope.

I'd like to say something about the "should be capitalized letters"...
in literature and for the author, it may mean something like the small letter "i" may mean that s/he is just a nobody and so on..
i love the originality and when the poem deviates from the norm...
