The Music and Me

Switching on my music

Takes me to a place

Where it's just my music and me

Making me oblivious to world around me

For those moments

My cares take a back seat

I am numbed to the pains

That I feel both emotionally and physically

To sorrows that trouble my mind

All seem to fade away

Nothing else matters

Just the music in my ears

And tune on my lip

I may croak

But in my head

I am singing about the shape of you

Like Ed Shereen or 

Wondering how can moment last forever 

Just like Celine Dion

Knowing that my hips don't lie Like Shakira

Or shaking my Bon Bon

Like Ricky Martin

My gender doesn't matter

It doesn't matter 

That people stare at me

Wondering if I am high on anything

Or just plain cuckoo

But that doesn't matter

Cause I have no cares

For the world around me

It doesn't matter to me

I am immersed in my music

A maestro conducting

My grand orchestra 

Letting the lyrics 

Resonate through my being

Touch me, move me

Well me with emotions

Often letting me step to its beats

With a shuffle here, a shuffle there

A bit of hop, a bit of skip

A side step and a Susie Q

Kicks and flicks and leg extensions

I am a ballroom dancer 

A Latin dancer

Doing a Samba, a Salsa, a Cha Cha

The world doesn't matter to me

The music gives me rhythm

And my body moves to the rhythm

I am taken to a world

Where I am slow dancing With my love

Just us and the music

Serenading the love 

We have for each other

The love in our hearts

For these few moments 

I have no care for the world

I have a smile on my face

A song on tongue

Love in my heart

The pain I feel,

The tears I have wept

Have been swept away, dried away

Giving me a freedom

A feeling of soaring

Flying high, over the clouds

Over the rainbows

Way up high

And in these moments

The world as I know is forgotten

It is just me and my music
