Toxic Night that crawled into a Sunset sublime, Great line. Makes me think of a muddly child crawling into a clean bed.
a walk home by a misty canal,
two week stubble, amphetamine eyes
that haven`t seen sleep for five short days. Brilliant last two lines. Strong, concise and evocative.

I was crazy at midnight,
bleary eyed, tongue tied,
bound for the east in adoration of a new Moon. Effective joining of modern mundanity and ancient spirituality in this verse.

It was good to walk by the waters edge, "Waters" should have an apostrophe before the "s", as the "edge" belongs to the water.
lost in temptation, passive resistance,
gentle surrender,a wing beat away from eternity. Another great last two lines which are strong and concise. You have a subtle gift for rhythm.

In this time of reckless persuasion
softly fall the nights of abandon. "Softly" is an odd choice, given that it's surrounded by violent words like "reckless" and "abandon".

Placid Sunsets crawl slowly Home, Good line. Makes me think of a martyr crawling across a desert.
Sunsets of Bliss hold their breath.
All of my critique is JMHO. You have some very good lines here and this poem could hold its own in mild or serious critique, I'd wager. Thank you for the readSmile
