Dark and Mystical

Driving through darkness
Of murky streets ,
Yesterday's inconstant moon
Too had vanished ,
No shadow,
No life visible,

Just before the dawn
The darkest hour,
By reason of heart
I desired to meet,
Reached out 
In wink of stars,

A sinister laugh
Still in the dark,
Cerebrate within reason
And my world crashed,
Epinephrine gush
I rushed back,

Intuitive I was
Of inquitous plot
Keep it dark,
An absolutely
Dark and mystical 
Gloaming nightfall !!

Were you having a allergic reaction? I am wondering why you added epinephrine to the third stanza. You have peaked my curiosity. Congratulations I enjoyed your winning poem.

No Richard , it's a hormone also known as adrenaline which gets automatically released in all alarming situations like fear n anxiety n causes palpitation ,,, I was just adding onto fear factor of dark n mystical,,,,
