A slip of Heaven

February 9, 2018February 9, 2018by Nicole Lyons

I have seen sinners saved
from bloody knees,
and heard angels sing
from holy things.
But you, my love,
are the bells that ring,
in a heathen’s choir
when the devil sings.

they peal
we would feel
the need to heal
and deal with it
now

Love, passionate love, knows not of any boundary between heaven and hell. Its soul is heathen, attuned to nature’s older order than those illusions.
