she called it the devil's music

I make a playlist
of all the songs
she wouldn't let me listen
to
while we were together.

she called it the devil's
music. evil and filling our
minds
with dirty thoughts.
sinful ideas that we should
be ashamed of.

al green.
then there's marvin gaye,
and barry white,
not to mention teddy
pendergrast.

all of them
sweet and tender,
romantic to the nth degree.
the words
filling the candle lit room,
the night. poetry
for lovers
under the full moon.

music to
dance to.
music to make love to.
music to heal
the heart, soothe
the soul. God's
music, not hers.
