As night falls. creatures of the night stir.
Drawn to the underworlds seduction.
Trapped by nights spell no one escapes.
As a moth to the flame I am drawn to you.
You are irrsistiable to me, no matter how I try to resit.
One taste of your lips, leaves me wanting more.
The look in your eyes sears my soul.
How is it you captivate me, with out even trying?
No one else makes me feell the way you do.
Why is it despite my better judgment, I can not leave?

Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
My main issue with this (aside from the spelling and grammatical errors, which Audy has already gone over) is the fact that it is wearyingly cliche. It could come from any of a thousand poems already in existence, and as such, it has very little depth and evokes only a marginal interest from the reader.
Don't go straight for the first images that come to mind as you write. Instead, stretch your imagination and force yourself to think outside the box. Brainstorm! Poetry is about images and sensations as well as about a particular subject/topic. Pick particular colours, sights, sounds, smells, etc. and build up a picture that is uniquely yours and that expresses what you, personally, specifically, feel. Make it personal. Make it matter. Right now, this is just a typical love poem. Anyone can talk about someone being "irresistable" - only you know what it is that especially attracts you (e.g. a particular hairstyle, facial expression, smile, etc.). Use those things. Make it REAL. Because otherwise you're not going to connect with your reader.
I would also suggest you think about the way you're constructing your poem, and make the line breaks/rhyme scheme/whatever work to reinforce what you're trying to say. At this point, it's more like a collection of sentences than a poem, you know? It's OK to let your statements run onto more than one line
Finally, and most importantly, show, don't tell. Any time someone says something like, "You are irresistable" I get bored. Sure, that may be how you feel, but because you're telling instead of showing, I get left out - the poem is all about you, you, you. What you're aiming to do is to get the reader to experience with you. In which case, telling them doesn't cut it. You have to show them. So instead of saying "x is irresistable" or whatever, build up an image. For example, use something like a rip tide or whatever to show the inexorable force with which you are attracted to this person. Be creative XD
Basically, I think you can do better.
Keep writing,
Cheers,

Do you mean as /day/ falls? --Despite a couple of grammatical errors, you have a nice use of imagery here.
This is good, a couple of spelling errors. I shutter at the second line though, you said that they were irresistible to you already...that pretty much implies that you are unable to resist. It's repetitive. However, I do love the last two lines of this stanza, you did a good job!
Well this stanza was okay--still a couple of grammatical errors that I fixed and are in bold for you. But really, this stanza doesn't bring anything new to the poem --which is ideally what all stanzas try to do. Also, I felt cheated of -- did you finish? It doesn't seem like a proper ending, there was nothing resounding about it and it had no impact in me in any way. I think you should rewrite this stanza or simply just delete it altogether. Your beginning was great. Your middle, okay. Your ending, well...
But don't be discouraged, this just means that there is room for improvement. All in all, I wish you luck. Keep writing and please work on it!
