I know little of God or the Devil <br />Though I've often heard the tale <br />How a good soul rises on angelic wings <br />Or a sinner descends pleading for mercy to no avail <br /> <br />I have not horns nor halo <br />Yes good and evil I have been <br />No angels do I see circling me <br />And perhaps demons do I possess within <br /> <br />Is there paradise above? A lake of fire below? <br />The Devil or God, I don't know anymore <br />But here on earth, my heaven left me in hell <br />When she walked out the door <br /> <br />(2012)<br /><br />Michael Ernst<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heaven-in-hell/
