Best Poems Written by K Love

Heavens Gate

I KNOCKED UPON THE GOLDEN DOORS
DRESSED UP IN FURS AND PEARLS
NOTHING OPENED COULD I BE LATE
THE WIND IT FELT SO CHILL
I HEARD A VOICE WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR
I SAID I HAVE A DATE IF HE WOULD SPARE ME ONE MORE 
HE SAID MOST PEOPLE COME UPON MY GATE
THEY COME WITH HUMBLE PRAISE
THEY DO NOT FLAUNT THEIR PEARLS AND FURS
OR INSIST THAT DESTINY WAIT
HE SAID THERE IS A PLACE DOWN BELOW FOR PEOPLE SUCH AS YOU
I BEGGED HIM HUMBLY WITH ALL MY HEART TO LET ME IN
HE SAID VANITY AND GREED IS THE BIGGEST SIN
I PROMISED I WOULD CHANGE MY WAYS BUT THEN I THOUGHT INSTEAD
PEOPLE LOVED ME THEY TOLD ME i WAS GREAT
WE DINED AND TRAVELED ALL THE WORLD
A FOOL HE MUST BE TO KEEP ME OUTSIDE HIS GATE
ITS YOUR LOSS I SAID WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS
THERE I SAW ALL MY FRIENDS BECKONING ME TO COME IN
THEY WERE NOT DRESSED IN FURS AND PEARLS
ANGUISH RULED THEIR FACE AND RAGS WORN IN THEIR PLACE
I BEGGED DEAR LORD GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE TO MAKE AMENDS
I WOKE UP IN A SWEAT ON EARTH AND VOWED TO GET NEW FRIENDS
