This poem was published in my book "Poetry Carnival" ©2004, Lori S. Maynard


Deny my Heaven's Gate


I would pledge to you my soul
and be denied my Heaven's gate
if that would assure that I'd see you
without the lifetime's wait.


My soul is what I pledge to you.
My heart no longer wanders free.
For my life was so meaningless
before Fate found you to me.


I pray each night that I'll awaken
and share our times once more.
For every hour is precious...
Ever minute that's in store.


And if I should journey before you
whether early in life or late...
I would lovingly haunt you
and deny my Heaven's gate.


©2004, Lori S. Maynard "The Carnival Poet"

I can so relate to this that it is just plain painful. Thoroughly compelling, Lori. Love and peace to you.

Oh Lori, the yearning, the passion, one could drown in them when reading DENY MY HEAVEN'S GATE.

This is the word of someone truly in love and willing to literally give up eternity for the one who has captured her heart and soul. Well written LOri
