Never a Last Song

Part of my "You, Humans" Series

By Iris ObscuraPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Jasmine, in Jazz's tender thrall,

Bids goodbye, her final call.

One last Song, on Stage she shares,

An end to Love, to Heartbreak's wares.

~~~

Done with Jazz, its fiery spell,

Betrayal's kiss, Passion's swell.

She yearns for quiet, simpler things,

A Farmer's life, the peace it brings.

~~~

But as she sings her last refrain,

Music tugs her Heart's old chain.

The Melody weaves its haunting lace,

In her Soul, it carves its place.

~~~

Spellbound, she finds herself entwined,

In Jazz's rhythm, her Heart confined.

The Stage, her siren, sweet and pure,

Its call, she finds, she can't obscure.

~~~

To the Silence, she planned to drift,

But Music, once again, uplift.

Jasmine, in Jazz's eternal Dance,

Finds, she cannot leave the trance.

~~~

Until her final Day arrives,

In Jazz's realm, her Heart survives.

About the Creator

Iris Obscura

Do I come across as crass?

Do you find me base?

Am I an intellectual?

Or an effed-up idiot savant spewing nonsense, like... *beep*

Is this even funny?

I suppose not. But, then again, why not?
