" IN FIELDS OF HEATHER "

" IN FIELDS OF HEATHER "

I see not through, the pain of truth
God does such doom forbid
And in my despair, I find comfort there
Knowing the good works I did
So in my race, for my Father's grace
Where I longed to bask forever
I was torn asunder, raped and plundered
And left to die in fields of heather....

Where a crime it is, to pray for bliss
No one can live in hell
When pills cannot help, and doctor's can't tell
Where, in your mind you dwell
Then all friends pleas, do judge with such ease
Through where-fore's and whatever's
Those vain hopes dropped, all bullshit stopped
And my loneliness grew in fields of heather....

I may never reply, were lips to deny
Or feed into my surrender
For I shall fight, with all my heart despite
Screams, or comforts sweater
And yet to compare, my sins with theirs
I know that I'm no better
And so each night I cry, and ever I try
For happiness in fields of heather....

Tony Taylor   (Chicago)

Hi Tony Taylor,

This is a true depiction of pain in life, my love, my applause, my five stars

Where a crime it is, to pray for bliss
No one can live in hell
When pills cannot help, and doctor's can't tell
Where, in your mind you dwell
Then all friends pleas, do judge with such ease
Through where-fore's and whatever's
Those vain hopes dropped, all bullshit stopped
And my loneliness grew in fields of heather....

Love & hugs

Hi Tony! As I read this it broke my heart and I could feel the despair and strength in your words. Please know you are never alone. It has been a while since I have been able to come on here for more than a few minutes and your words really got to me.

Hey T!!! Wow you are such a talented poet my friend, your poetry completely amazes me nearly everytime.....  I love these lines

I may never reply, were lips to deny
Or feed into my surrender
For I shall fight, with all my heart despite
Screams, or comforts sweater
And yet to compare, my sins with theirs
I know that I'm no better
And so each night I cry, and ever I try
For happiness in fields of heather....

Because I can literally feel the fight of which you mention. You are a strong person and it shows through your poetry alone. Once again you receive my applause my friend and 5 star vote. Don't quit writing.... EVER!!!! :) xox

Sincerely, 
Melissa <3
