Music Poem by Matthew Holloway

Let the music play
that rhythm and blues
that northern soul
makes me sway my hips
those songs I sing
with incorrect lyrics
my mistimed dance steps
good music touches all
heart and soul
you get high and drunk
a special kind of buzz
that's the kind of magic
music brings
so stack up the records
hit me a playlist
and pour the wine
turn down the lights
listen
music is love and lust
beauty and tragedy
its the power of faith
a religion to itself
music is truth
I'll end this now
with a question
what is music to you
