The eruption of my heart’s haze
Fizzles
Symbolic of love and kill rage
Once full of emotion’s ripe will
Now it’s myriad madness
Stuck in red dementia
Breeds
The darkest eclipse
Shedding over with blood
The memory of beauty
Now ashes
Burnt beyond mending…
Upon the heart of a wingless angel
Like a heavy burden
A brick is lodged into his chest
Staggering
He steps towards the next trying moment…
Destiny revealed in a useless dream
Where nothing ever has meaning

"the memory of beauty
now ashes"

powerful sense of futility in those words.  they stick in my mind as I remember all the times I've been there.  Great wordplay throughout and I like how the title conveys the same overall feeling of the poem itself and draws people in.  good job.

No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers.

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again....
