As shifting shadows merge within the night,
darkness devours disheveled silhouettes.
And daylight disappears, fading from sight;
as a splendiferous sun slowly sets. 
 
Twilight's crimson-colored clouds coalesce;
tinting the skies a cotton candy pink.
And yet, darkness descends nevertheless,
tattooing treetops with ebony ink. 

Sequined stars sparkle in the midnight sky;
glittering gems in the fabric of space.
And today toasts tomorrow with a sigh;
as a motley moon mirrors Sol's far face.

Moonbeams mold monsters mostly out of black;
sculpting scary shapes with chisels of light.
And female mosquitoes mount their attack;
as buzzing, bloodthirsty biters alight.

Silence shushes sounds, stirring in the day;
as night's nocturnal creatures start to wake.
And stridulating crickets chirp away;
trilling till dawn dawns and dreamers awake.

Magnificent descriptions and fluid alliteration. This is a fav for me! (I'm not sure if accidentally included the fourth stanza twice or if it's intentional for emphasis.)

Thanks, Juliet, I appreciate your comments and pointing out that one verse was repeated., that was not intentional, my friend, Emile.

Dear Emile, I appreciate not only your skill with alliteration but also your wonderful use of assonance, like "shading shapeless".. and "spider's spindle" is just a stroke of genius! Exquisite imagery too, my friend "Moonbeams mold monsters mostly out of black, /sculpting scary shapes with chisels of light" - wow! Love chisels of light! Beautiful and expressive throughout! Congratulations for your excellent win in Mark's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
