His Heart A Mountain (a pantoum)
-----------------------------------
broken hearts upon crags of old
tears run like a fountain
his heart an avalanche, stone cold
as the crest of mountains
tears run like a fountain
parted by this great divide
as the crest of mountains
leaves no place to hide
parted by this great divide
cowering from constant bombardment
leaves no place to hide
plummeting from high escarpments
cowering from constant bombardment
broken hearts upon crags of old
plummeting from high escarpments
his heart an avalanche, stone cold

Hmm...interesting take on this. I realize that I forgot footnotes about this piece, so I suppose it's a bit vague. I would assume that he did NOT find the peace he sought.
This piece is actually about my feelings toward my father and the divide that has grown between us since he physically attacked me. The tears are mine.

the poem itself molds images of a mountain in my mind, your skills are superb, reading your comment above seeing this relates to you and your father's relationship this must have been on your mind, just remember no one's perfect and life can develop into the most unlikely of paths, pantoum... thanx for teaching me a new type of poetry...

My pleasure! Thank you for reading and for your kind comments.
Pantoum is my current obsession. I can't stop writing them! :) Hope you're inspired to write some!
