Limits to Heaven.



I look up and the ceiling crumbles
Into white fluffy clouds
Lining the castle walls in rectangular
Shields of armour

But the hole of it is known
And the casting out heart
Shattering

Call on me for your heart felt
Needs
In return I offer my being
Letter by letter
Inching my way into your matters

Day by day I grow closer to the
Inner peace moving like a shockwave
Around heavens sweet gates
Then judgements lay fallen

About this poem

This is about inner hurt beyond expectations.
