Someone else son,
The vision gone, the pain begun,
Anointed this second one,
Sidelined by age,
Distanced by love,
I watch and cannot stem the flow,
At twenty one,
Like the child, the love is gone,
The hurt is come,
The boy is now a man,
The barb is deep,
The slings of heart,
Felt beneath the flesh,
The world smashed,
A room trashed,
Healing too far removed,
I break in empathy,
Not someone elses son,
My seed screams,
Will I always bleed so much,
When I open my heart?
Chasm wounds ooze,
Scarred but functional,
Character in a dampcourse of living,
A new touch lurks,
Lit passion will blaze again,
Wisdom is come,
Life awaits breathless renewal,
Experienced lover,
This second son of mine.
