Sometimes I need shelter
From my own mind
There will be times
When its you I find
And I give in
To the knowledge gained
Too late sometimes
But I’m somehow saved

Always, you make me strong
In your arms where I belong

I cannot put it into words
Or write it down
No matter how holy
Or upon sacred ground
And I may sin
Just to save face
While needing more than enough
From your little ways

Where time doesn’t last too long
In your arms where I belong

Tonight I’m in your hands
Don’t let me go
You have a hold on me
And with that, control
Here in the dark
I see all I need
By the light you give off
By the hand you lead

Take me between right and wrong
In your arms where I belong

Between right and wrong...seems it's easier somehow to find love there.  Enjoyed this!

PK- The void that we all have can only be filled by God. That's what I get out of this beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing.

The poetic phrasing and cadence make this gem
as does the intent of the emote,
this one is written with a certain fragile, vulnerability about it that makes it very poetically attractive.
Beautiful write PK

you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

PK, there is nothing to rip apart. The light that shines as the gracious hand is extended. Accept in love... LP
