Broken angels fall from shattered dreams.
In the heart of paradise the seraphim
heart bleeds.
Melodies of melancholy descend like
raindrops from the sky.
Listen closely to the wind and you'll
hear the angels cry.
Darkened clouds scatter across the
heavens to cover all their shame.
Holy creatures roaming in a realm
of the spiritually untamed.
Suspended in a dimension of
horrifying sights.
Fleeing fire breathing dragons
that torment them day and night.
Unmarked graves cast a shadow
of hopelessness and fear.
As weeping widows lament in
sorrow without shedding a tear.
Mocking spirits point their fingers
as they laugh and jest.
Deformed and disfigured beings
that are extremely grotesque.
Screams invade the hollows of
these fallen angels mind.
Wishing desperately to escape this
chamber of the morbidly unkind.
Echoes of insanity fill
this hideous abyss.
In an alternate reality of
madness without bliss.

Amazing.
Your meter is perfect.....every word stitched in place perfectly. I love reading your work aloud.....it flows so smoothly....with such ease, this one being no different. My mind took me down two very different paths for this one. First time around it had an air of Armageddon....the end of all creation looming. Second time around this struck me as a mataphore centered around a much more human battle....the one played out in the mind of someone insane.... battle of wills between the last shred of sanity...often futile as it is not something to be controlled....oohh anyway, pardon the ramble. This really got me thinking and I very much enjoyed it! Great work!

Awesome.."In the heart of paradise the seraphim heart bleeds." This is a great line where one can imagine drops of blood fall from heaven.
"screams invade the hollows of these fallen angels mind." the imagery of this entire poem is great! The reader can imagine the end of the world coming as these angels fall shattered,
