Dream of me as if I was real
Touch me so that I may feel
And know about life
When all things right,
My lips do knowingly unseal

Open arms and that look in your eyes
Lifting me up to heights so high
Body disengaged,
Leaving one so aged
Floating corporeal, like clouds in the sky

Protect me from myself today
No matter the words I say
Nor the flesh you touch
Could ever mean so much
Unless I was gone away

Parted lips and moist by far
Wherever our broken bodies are
You try to insist
Nothing exists,
Until I show you all the stars

Teach me more than I thought to learn
So that I could teach you in turn
Together on fire
Still higher and higher
So that we, as those very stars, can burn

*sighing of contentment*
this is exquisite and perfect...
and much needed on this morn.
stalking you in your sanctuary *S*
your jm

your words are like my sanctuary,
keeping me safe...keeping me alive.
with in the embrace of your words,
I finally breathe and survive.


 Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there.
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like there's something much better out there
Something kind...
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it can't be that hard to find
As long as I've got the wind...
The wind and your love to carry me.

Yowsers, this one burns with passion.....I love the title too. It actually brought a smile to my face because I immediately thought of the hunchback saying "Sanctuary, give me sanctuary"
I may have to borrow your title if you don't mind and write one to that myself

JML~
Well, seems we 'ladies' are all
a'flutter over this one.
Write us another one that you
'really didn't think much about'

'Protect me from myself today'

I have a poem about my sanctuary, unfortunatly, it's a little on the violent side.  Thank you so much, I believe poets teach the world that there is still hope.  Correct me if I miss-interperated this!


 Hope,
