Love Poem: Through Your Gate

Through Your Gate

Ordinarily I'm the one out of reach
that's what everyone says...
but here I am on hands and knees
stealing into your terrace.

You haven't let me in
cuz you have no reason.

But I'd step into the ring 
to slay your enemies
while you watch unharmed from your seat.

I'd put on my gloves
as I put all my love 
on you.
Yeah I'd bet all my love away on you.

I can see your oasis through the trees,
through the eyes of a thief
still, its beautiful to me.

I know someday
you'll lead me proudly through your gate,
but until then I dream...

In your mirrored eyes I see
you've only known defeat.
Past enemies still own you,
everyone's disowned you.

Please believe
I'm in the ring
and I'm ready:

to take them down
til nothing but love owns you now.

Show me everything that made you cursed,
tell me who to take on first.

They've never quite seen 
the likes of me.
Oh baby, 
you have to tell me
when you're ready...

for the day
you lead me through your gate.
