Music — Amuse me

Tap tap tap

Against hard surface

Melodies that soothe my senses

Awakening me to my body-flow

Sound in verse

Words that never rest float me to a different universe

Soft tones that can be touched

Living-beyond man’s leisure

Music — Amuse me

Rumble rumble rumble

I stand to live again 

Thud thud thud

One step forward, two steps forward 

Clap clap clap

On the bus, world here I come 

Squish squish squish

Confidence fading in the whisper

Whistle whistle whistle 

*Breathe*

You’ve run from your mind

Ding ding ding 

Body synchronization 

Soul emerging from oasis

Driving my flexibility

Language a sexuality 

It’s all I feel within 

Flowing, edging me towards a cliff

I fall 

It’s the awakening, it’s always the awakening 

Arms as wings 

I dive into these tunes 

My spirit free and safe like I’ve met destiny

It waves at me so hard, it slaps my memory

Affection, comfort and freedom

Releasing wonders in my daily reality

Music — Amuse me.

Swish swish swish 

Gentle caresses unnoticed till faded away

Too woken I raise more than bodily vibrations

That rest my ears in climatic rhythm 

My blues

An ecstasy real and true

My happy child dancing in the summer’s light

Lyrical wonders a blessing in disguise 

Transcending slow crescendos hugging my heart

Awakened, very very awakened

My waist in rhythmic representation 

Seductive;

Captivating as it flirts together with my eyes

Standing my hairs and landing my feet in graceful delight 

Music — Amuse me

Rumble rumble rumble

Society no longer troubling me 

Thud thud thud 

My insecurities drown as music leads

Clap clap clap 

I’m moving confidently and setting my mind towards victory 

Squish squish squish 

All negative thoughts are now positively strong;

Inspiring

Whistle whistle whistle 

*Inhale*Exhale*

I stand to live again with sound directing my heartbeat

Music — Amuse me
