Sit
around with me tonight
Your
warmth will be a sanctuary for my thoughts
Sit
around with me tonight
I’d
have wanted more but one would now be enough and more
💗
It
feels like my life’s a public show and I haven’t even got seat in front row
More
frightening is the sight of it before my eyes
But
at least it’s better when I’m watching it with you.
You
understand - that given a thousand lives with 3,000 chances – there’s
none the different chord this me could’ve struck.
💗
Sometimes,
I love to go wandering…and often times I lose my way
I turn
the tables and still not get served
I play
the rook and still hold not unto my knight
I
often come to be forgotten of my name – and
end the nights adorned with the robe of The
History.
💗
I
might as well keep the life of a peasant
‘Cause
nothing changes all things – and some things often account for many things
But
it’s a ruse, the thought. Of:
Regaining
a Trust once broken, Recovering
a Fame once sunken
Believing
in a Love once forsaken
Yet,
here’s my welcome to The Story of Me.
And
now I wonder why you are still here.
💗
So
sit around with me, one more night -
And
show me all the mercy on the walls of St. Peter’s
Let’s
soak up these tales with gourds of ale -
For
the morn shall bring with what has always been - beams of judgement by ones
that lived by their testimonies.
💗
This
is so much to ask, but could you still stay a while longer?
For
now, I feel the breath of the morrow’s darkness near.
The
grounds of my faith wobble and there’s smoke on the screens –
there
where the lights once used to be.
Words
of a thousand inferences now make up my name
Afraid,
ashamed, bruised, used, made, famed, raised, graced, hailed, pained, nailed;
given, forgiven, believed in - I have been everything.
Yet
for one more night, I could survive better with your presence here
Your
serenity, clearance and freedom – please do bring those too.
💗
Tonight
will you sing to me and with me?
Get
some acid and make a wild trip with me? To extra-realities and parallel
universes. To parks filled with greens and beginnings.
Say
me a word, mean it in two things.
Kiss
my head, leave me with the feeling it brings.
Make
me a promise; make it in diamond rings.
Make
me a melody; make it out of my heart’s strings.
💗
Sit
around with me even 10 nights after the storm,
Waters
running round in my head; you’d hope they’d drown the mares.
The
weathers are getting murkier; I know –
But
at least for me, this is a place I feel luckier – no judgments.
💗
The
Sun is simmering and your arms are getting cold, getting numb.
Let
my eyes beg you for the stretch of an hour longer if you can.
I
do not deserve it - but for all my pride, please do still stay with me.
Let
me lay into sleep within your assuring arms - into your comforting Grace.
May
it be all I ask, for one more time.
💗
But
yet like a whisper of a wisp, you are gone –
And
in all your ways I wish and bid you farewell
I
will miss you – the One who would Stay and Sit around with Me.
