Into the Night

The setting sun releases its gentle grasp
As the moon resumes her vigil in the sky
The exploding vibrance of sunset melts away
Replaced by the cold darkness
The refreshing warmth of daylight's 
swirling breeze
Fades into the chilling gale of
moonlight's blusters
Enveloped by the black of night
Engulfed in his own deluded passion
Entranced by his mind's-eye view
Enraged by the sight of another
The night will hide his deeds
Until the new day dawns
Bright, fresh, and new
Just like the crimson stains on his hands.
