COME WITH ME (2003)
Abhi | Posted on |

Let me walk in a trance
Or come with me to the road’s end
For I won’t see the stars
When the dusk falls, covering the bluish whole
Beyond the embers
Burning, swirling
Here,
And there
I see nothing.
Let me drown in the sea
Or swim with me to the shore
For I won’t climb a boat and lie in the solitude
Of the wave’s roar
Beyond their feuds
Grating on my ear
Maddening me
I hear nothing.
Let me fall in the abyss
Or lead the way to the peak
For I won’t rest on the ledge and shiver alone
As my silent nearness weeps
Beyond the biting cold
Shriveling my soul
Numbing me
I feel nothing.
Let me flow through the mist
Or guide me, your hand in mine
For I won’t wander in this Eden, it has no love-story they say
Only a cruel presence divine
What’s that to me?
It’s you I seek
Not beauty, not life, not a god
Why do you lead me to these?
You know how worthless they will be
If your presence shall cease
Don’t go
If you leave
Not even a sad song
Will this heart be able to sing
It will be mute
Dry
Like these eyes burning to weep
For beyond you, my all
I love nothing.
