Each passing flame devours a memory derived from the regret of a child crying in the winds of time

Indelible memoria leaving a stain on my pride as each tear sheds a thousand years of pain from the death of my life

Tenacious in my dreams, each passing image like shackles on my wrists pulling at the thoughts that live so deep within

Epitaphs inscribed upon my chest, the sentence of a fallen hero in a prison of eluded ecstasy

To look for rest within each word, but to find a prism where each passing thought is split into a million more

As mirror of oblivion watches for perfection left only by the dreams of gods that sleep to live forever

Dreams that leave me dead and shackled by the truth that I will never rest from this eternal damnation that is death.

My friend, you write with such great emotion always, but this one is simply incredible. One for the ages in my opinion.

Barkeep......

oh luke, this is brilliant! you have conveyed the feelings of hopelessness and dispair of imminant death, the thoughts running through their minds, so sad when firefighters are killed, this is beautifully written and a most excellent choice of words and images:) hugs n' love nessa
