A Song Is Here


A Song Is Here

By: Dominic Mobley

 

 

The universe has asked me a question

What is one thing that you can’t live without?

I was so confused and frustrated that I had to choose one

But if I have to choose I would say my song

Let me tell you about my song

My song has harmony and pebbles

Pampering with laughs and identifying the riddles

Be a rainbow in the mystery of my song

In the clouds, dreaming wild

Be my own criminal if something goes wrong

Can’t love if I don’t understand the rain

Cage up with a clock on my brain

Tick tock tick tock running pain

Love is my song and the song is playing over and over again

Love is the river that exchange appearances with the clouds

Reminding me that love liberates into the sea

Piece by piece

Love doesn’t fear me

Spreading its beauty through different eyes with one blink

Beauty of love

Love of beauty

Can’t live without your games and your games are silly

 

As a child, I was nervous to sing

Afraid for my lyrics to come to life and wearing jewelry

Judging this song from left to right

Putting on robotic smiles to show that it’s right

My song was shy with an expression of hi and goodbye

A song that has been with me since birth but been treated like a curse

This song!

This song right here!

Nobody can sing it but me

Nobody can feel it but me

Nobody can love it like me

This song has its own vibration

Sweet and bitter tastes of satisfaction

What do you know about this song?

Why can’t I live without this song?

This song is I

This song is love

This song exist within my being

Let the heartbroken stories be my song

Let the lessons that I’ve learn be my song

Let the words of others regardless if they are right or wrong be my song

Let reality be my song

Let intimacy be my song

Let anger be my song

Let sadness and joy be my song

Let understanding be my song

Let my body be my song

No matter what it’s a part of me and I have to own it

Let life write the lyrics

Therefore, this song is my journey

My love!

My way of saying that I can’t live without it as of today
