His Fathers Heart

by ah satan 666   Feb 4, 2013


He's gone.

Twenty-five to life,
yet i've committed no crime.
Scars and impressions left by the con of man,
as ground hog day enters a new twenty-four hours.

No ointment ever made to numb this pain.

Stuck in this vortex of recent living.
My only stimulant has been adding irregular bricks to my walls of solitude,
as the audacious try to invade my cerebrum cell.
Leaving me frozen over and disfigured to my surroundings,
like a child playing tetris on a games consul...
I just want to be left alone.

My repetitive existence hasn't always been so...
before grief declared war on my sorrow pumped veins,
my heart thumped to the beat of a humble mans march.

I could never contain my love for him.
Just like the eternal inferno of larva,
bubbling from within a volcano.
In his presence my body would run a head to toe fever.
Rich incandescent shades of raspberry to black cherry reds...
I would just glow.
All self control vanquished
by the beautiful heart and soul that stood beside me...

until death do us part.

His cool, soft touch, would soothe my hastening heart...
as if it were his occupation to extinguish my everlasting blaze.

His little zircon he'd call me.
Not your typical diamond in the rough.
Yet, still a rare find with intensive fire
that made me guilty of melting his heart.
Giving me heartfelt sentimental value,
over a strict corporal mentality.

Cole loved me for everything I am and more.
He was my oath,
and I the country he came home to.
Giving him reason to believe in a greater future.
Together we were united like all fifty stars on our great flag...
eradicating us from our darkest hours.

But the day came
when the moon kissed fair well to the sun
and my fire was finally exhausted.
Hazardous fire Cole had trained to fight everyday,
had condemned him.
My man...
a brave soul amongst many,
was now my angel.

He's gone.

No ointment ever made to numb this pain.
Ground hog day enters a new twenty-four hours.
Stuck in this vortex of recent living.
My only stimulant
has been adding irregular bricks to my walls of solitude,
as the audacious try to invade my cerebrum cell.
Leaving me frozen over and disfigured to my surroundings...

Until,

The micro flutter
of a fire fly graced me with his presents...
re-lighting a small flame within me.
Our unity now lays folded in a triangle,
at the foot of jr's wooden crib.
Your purple military honour,
protects his sleepy visions...
like a native dream catcher embedded in wood
above his head.

You may assume frozen images,
tales of a coveted man;
hero to many...
is all our son will inherit...

You'd be wrong!

With the fire of a zircon,
his angelic eyes great my sight...
causing a shift between the heart and mind.
Blood erupts from a dormant volcanic heart,
melting my frosted interior...

Jr inherited his fathers heart.

    Metaphors and similes appears to be forcibly over done.

    Oh this is so powerful!

    I like the opening being just He's gone. It clearly shows me how much sadness this will hold.

    You then go on to tell it like a story but in such a metaphoric way and use examples that are so clear to relate to.

    You single out the line:
    No ointment ever made to numb this pain.

    - I think this is powerful because it gives a pause for thought of the pain that you would feel and how nothing ever seems to take it away from you or make it hurt any less.

    Stuck in this vortex of recent living.
    My only stimulant has been adding irregular bricks to my walls of solitude,
    as the audacious try to invade my cerebrum cell.
    Leaving me frozen over and disfigured to my surroundings,
    like a child playing tetris on a games consul...
    I just want to be left alone.

    - I really felt these words here and how isolated you feel so you begin to make this reality and close off from those around you. It shows truly what it is like to lose someone and I can relate to this so so much it has made me very teary.

    His cool, soft touch, would soothe my hastening heart...
    as if it were his occupation to extinguish my everlasting blaze.

    - these lines showed what the relationship was based on and how much you both meant to each other and how he made you feel. I think this is such a beautiful love story although sad. It really touches me in a deep place and I find myself lost inside your words today.

    His little zircon he'd call me.
    Not your typical diamond in the rough.
    Yet, still a rare find with intensive fire
    that made me guilty of melting his heart.
    Giving me heartfelt sentimental value,
    over a strict corporal mentality.

    - I really connected to this part because I once asked my fiance why he was with me when he could have someone much better and his reply was that he was lucky enough to be given a very rare and special diamond and he would be a fool to trade it in for something else.

    He's gone.

    No ointment ever made to numb this pain.
    Ground hog day enters a new twenty-four hours.
    Stuck in this vortex of recent living.
    My only stimulant
    has been adding irregular bricks to my walls of solitude,
    as the audacious try to invade my cerebrum cell.
    Leaving me frozen over and disfigured to my surroundings...

    - I like repetition but I like it more here because you have summed up the main emotions and points of the poem, the dark pain inside and how you feel, before you go on to twist the story and offer a bit of hope and happiness. This is really like.

    As for your ending, this is just beautiful and it shows how much one tiny life can change and save someones life. It is so touching to know that this man will live on through their child and that his heart is still alive... wow.

    I do truly love this and cant tell you how much this speaks to me! Thank you xx
