In The Face of Doubt

In The Face of Doubt

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen
"

A challenge from a dear, dear friend.

"

In The Face of Doubt

Despite, because

I knew your past

and held the secret

of your breast.

I fell away to hell

so deep that

I drowned beneath

all the dark sorrows

that the earth had buried

from the eyes of man.

The tarry treacle

squeezed from hearts,

pricked by the thorny rose

of love,

filled my nostrils

to suffocation

and caused my sorry soul

to abandon me.

Thank you so very much Roxane.
I felt the journey of understanding in the words. Some journies are painful and needed. You left the reader with something to think about. Thank you John for sharing the amazing poetry.

Indeed tis true Ron, many thanks.
The tarry treacle
squeezed from hearts,
pricked by the thorny rose
of love,

That keeps building up with each new hurt. Love it so...
