Perfect Solitude

Lyrics to a song to be sung...

              

            Perfect Solitude

                                 By Sami Khalil                          

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to invite you

Even if you're uncomfortable

To my perfect solitude.

I want you to relax

Take a deep breath

Mind you this imprisonment

We are being glued.

Would you happen to know

Or have you overlooked

The backgrounds we share

The velvet thoughts

The adverts fading away

Into the hypnotic mood.

Lady of grace

Of brighter mornings

Of mislabeled nights

I want to remake songs

Where everything is

Merely a cover

A muffled substitute.

I want to lead in love

Keeping it low key

Where every prelude 

Is a quiet rendition 

To these two hearts

In perfect gratitude.

I want to invite you

When you are comfortable

To my perfect solitude

To my perfect solitude...

I was once told that solitude is to be destitute of Love, or the one you love; I was much younger then and I didn't believe. Now, with all these years on my shoulders, I'm a believer..
Now to your profound poetry; the perfect solitude would only be not that, but perfection with the one that makes you whole.... Lovely, and apologies for going off in at tangent

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami, sharing solitude is quiet surrender...
similar to a waterfall as it cascades into a lovely inlet
where water lilies float endlessly on green pads of
love and security... Lovely poetry... a lullaby for lovers.
truly, Pat

Beautifully said the quiet moments that speak volumes.

[Ashwin Shanker]

I agree with Lydia. This is as close to what I have read as meditative. It is psychedelic writing ... haha... I thoroughly enjoyed the mood that came to my mind, assisted by the picture.

[Shabeeh Haider]

Take a deep breath, relax and be imprisoned in love. What more could a person want. To enter someone's solitude and drink deep from the cup of love.
Very nicely written.

[Jamestown]

Always so well written and delivered!

completely enjoyed reading. Thanks for sharing
and b-blessed!

[Lydia Shutter]

There is almost a feeling of meditation in this write, Sami. "Take a deep breath"...yes, and drink in the soft romance and magical images in every line. Lovely work, my friend. Lydi**

This is great! I love how beautifully written it is, without being too complicated. A great read :)

[Usman Muhammad]

The irony is well explained in the poem. To someone it might feel awkward, of thinking solitude by breaking the most principal law of solitude, which is to spend those moments with someone. But you have done well enough here to show what it means by Perfect Solitude. Solitude is the best way to know yourself and the method you have mentioned here can work too. To have someone who knows you better than yourself, only he can show you the true image of yourself without making you to feel any guilty.
Looking forward to read your other writings ....Well done Sir

I like the irony in this piece. I love to escape to my own little spots of solitude, but I need to be alone for that. To invite someone into that special place of solitude is indeed a wonderful thing, though many people miss it. We really need less of life's noise around to truly connect amidst the rat-race we call life.

Great poetry.

I really adore the peace of solitude & the company it brings. I need to get back into writing songs because I loved how easy it was to write lyrics & tell a simple, compelling story. Sometimes, as writers, our solitude is all we have & we feel lost without it or when it becomes interrupted by the outside world. Perfect read & I treasured each and every line.
