Sword of My Heart

A poem forged from the flames of my own soul

Sword of My Heart

 

Inside of my skull, I craft a sword of my twisted mind

That will cut through my sorrows

And leave nothing behind

 

There are those who would say I am blind

But with the sword of my mind in hand, there is no solace I cannot find

 

Inside of my body I craft a sword of my fiery thoughts

That will carve through all my anxiety

Until it wilts and it rots

 

If there is anything worthwhile that I have sought

With the sword of my thoughts in hand I know it’s something I’ve already got

 

Inside of my soul I craft a sword of my unyielding love

For all that I know, friend, forgotten, or foe

Shining on them like the sun from up above

 

My sword and I go like hand and glove

With the sword of my love in hand I fly like a dove

 

From my emotions I craft a sword of my iron will

My will to keep push on no matter what

And live my life for fun like a glass of beer, slowly being filled

 

I will live on and go as far through the maze of life as I can for the thrill

No matter what the cost, what I’ve lost, the sword of my will and I will take me to the end of the world, up and down every hill

 

Inside this world, I craft a sword of my life

That will carry always and forever

Through pain and strife

 

It will not shake, it will not shatter

Even if I break, it will not matter

 

This sword was made strong, from the finest ore

Made from my iron heart, on distant shores

 

This sword was made sharp by a twisted mind

Polished by my thoughts until it shines

 

Made flexible by my love

Hardened by an iron will

 

And forged by the fires of my life force

 It was hammered into by all my hardships

And adorned with the gems of my happiest moments

The sword of my heart will not be broken

Even after the last words of my final poem are spoken

 

It will always be a token

To show that I existed, and when awoken

 

It will be a memory of my forgotten soul

My blade of beauty, strength, happiness, and woe

Made from everything I know

Author's Note

If everything I've ever done, experienced, lived through, or been through were to be an object, it would be a sword of memories.


I very seldom reply to reviews, but I promise I read EVERY single one. I look forward to my next review, because it helps me learn. Even if it's just one word, I promise, I will be ecstatic to have the chance to hear what you have to say. Whenever you write something about my poems, or the themes of my poems, or criticize me it is not in vain. I will listen, learn and be thankful.

Wow. This poem is best of yours till now.
My sword and I go like hand and glove
With the sword of my love in hand I fly like a dove. These are my most favourite lines. There should be a little correction in the line
But with the sword of my mind in hand, there is no solace I cannot find.(There is no solace I can find.)
This poem shows hardships in life and when those things constantly hit you you emerge as a strong human being. I completely agree with this poem. I loved the way that you have used a sword as a metaphor to represent the struggles. I love your thoughts as to how a sword is made after being hit several time only then it becomes strong enough to defeat others. I cannot stop writing how beautiful and amazing this poem was and above all what a great thought you've had.

Sword of memories, never heard life expressed in those words before. You have some very nice thoughts and lines in this write. Valentine

[Bear]

A cut made from a mental rapier of words can last a life time without healing so using such a weapon upon ones self could be fatal. Nice premise, dealing with emotional issues in such a fashion but it sounds as painful or more so than the feelings themselves. Bravo! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

[R.J Calzonetti (SinisterPotatoe)]

I'm really happy that you liked it!

[wordman]

And forged by the fires of my life force
It was hammered into by all my hardships
These words cuts to the core.
Everything we are in need off, springs from inside. though be it burning or refreshing
