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 |

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 ----------------- 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 ----------------- imagine needing shelter from the mind that writes like this...I cant. this is so well written with your trademark quality... depth and intensity of emotion. it is what draws me to your work... it has from my first read... very cool poem jer, your jm Is it too much to find an answer, Is it too much to hold you close. Is it too much to find a reason, Is it too much to free my soul -- From self control ... And I know you're always waiting for me ... You take me far away, And I know you're holding me ... And it's better now ... ~vertical horizon~ |

Great poem as always, my fellow romantic. . . don't we all just need to be in someone's arms? Excellent. . . -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
