    SHELTER FROM THE STORM

    I woke up once in a sweet sweet sweat
    I began my journey then
    Begging for forgiveness
    Repenting for my sins
    I traveled over the valley of my soul
    Wander upon them still
    Redemption comes not to me
    This man remains a fool
    Prisoner trapped inside my desires
    Wont come upon an end
    So I scream to empty skys
    Hollow words to judging eyes
    My truths ring lies upon the rock
    My heart cliffs send back no replies
    So I climbed the mountains of my mistakes
    And come always to walls
    When a man climbs beyond his means
    All thats lefts to fall
    I swam across the seas salty bloody tears
    And from the depths far below I swim from year to year
    Swift I move but still to slow
    All choices made will catch me unprepared
    Memories haunt the darkened glades
    Remind me of my faults
    Broken now I bend my will
    And ask you take me in
    Shelter from the raging storm
    I burn within my frozen heart and cast away your skin
    Touch me not
    Lest you catch my cancer sins
    Let me pay the debts I owe
    And let the light back in
    I fear the cost to much to give
    That I wont make the bill
    Ask however that I try
    So for once I will not fail

    great poem. Your too young to have failed--your whole life is ahead of you---learn by your failures--you are who you are today because of what youve been through! Excellent Poem

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
