Moral Abandonment

The day was long gone as midnight became an opaque obscurity.
Her ebony veneer was
   enough to hypnotize.
Smoke clouding homicidal judgment . . .
   I stood aloof—
Wondering about death.
   How am I suppose to suture such a crimson masquerade;
   barely hanging onto the cuff of my blazer...?
The day was long gone as
   midnight's moon gazed upon madness, well passed her
   expiration.

wow Zink! You said so much in such few words. So intensely deep and beautifully dark. It gave me chills as I read it a few times to keep gathering more depth out of the poem. Be blessed..thank you and congrats :)
