Seducing The Jazz Butterfly

Seducing The Jazz Butterfly

A Poem by Marie Harrison
"

A poem about jazz.

"

 

"Seducing The

Jazz Butterfly"

Sax, how you

Float up and down

Zigzagging through

Your high squeaky notes

And sultry throaty tones,

Slyly caressing

My silky flesh

Buttons nightly.

 

Seductively

You spread

My bejeweled and

 Speckled  wings open,

Pensively peering into the hollow

Mystic caverns of my

Melancholy soul.

 

Oh, how well

You know me,

Discovering more

Each twilight melody

You magically produce.

 

With the wandering smooth palm

Of your steady hand,

You seduce me discreetly

In front of a smokey

Crowded room.

 

Your trilling rhapsody

Lifts me up with such electric elation 

To soar and peak in the

Twinkling celestial

Skies high above.

 

Yet so quickly,

Your intoxicating low

Staccato beat

Stomps me out,

Like the butt of a used

Cigarette.

 

Each jazzy encore

My zealous wings

Flutter back for more,

They're addicted to your

Smoldering night heat.

I'm addicted to live jazz. I'm not sure about the title. I'm still tweaking this one.

I love this! Don't tweak it to much because it's great as it is! The wording is amazing just like the poem. Music is like part of the soul, it connects to people on so many different levels. Fab write :)
