Poems
And
the beat goes on
And the beat goes on
Seeping into my head
Under my skin
Through sinews and muscles
Vibrations are taking over my whole being
All encompassing, all embracing
In harmony with my heart beat
Fingers clicking
Feet tapping
Head nodding
Body swaying
Singing along, kind of
Humming along, sort of
Whistling along, maybe
I'm compelled to move around
Music has taken control now
Supporting, cocooning
Transporting me to a different place
A safe place
An oasis
There are no worries
There is no pain
Within this short space of time
Whilst the beat goes on
