Dark Descends

Onyx cloak
of sunny day's baroque
lay velvet on the breast of each day,

gently caress each curvaceous earthly display 
with night tones of diamond stars, a queen's array.

Diamonds of champagne sing amends
to onyx night.. as friends
dark descends.

Well done for a new form. I love your word play and the images you conjure. Is the title supposed to be from the last line? I think I forgot that.
