The dark haunting night,
Looks at me from behind 
The heavy sheet of darkness,
I shiver, try to hide  
As she spies
With those thousand eyes
That shine and shimmer,
Twinkle and glimmer,
And wink at me
When I blush
Surrounded by all his thoughts,
They gaze and peer
When I try to read those words so dear
Inked on the perfumed sheet,
They hover around in a fleet
And naughtily smile
As I look up at them for a while;
The night knows it all,
My expressions
And emotions,
My tears, my joys,
All the innocent heart's ploys,
She is a keeper of all my secrets,
A partner in crime,
For she stays a quiet witness 
To all my silly, animated exuberance,
Anxiety and trepidations,
Hide how much I may want to,
Keep my secrets from her,
She stays forever apprised,
For the night has a thousand eyes!
