One Last Tear
Squeezed and bequeathed from the schisms of fear
A shibboleth opened as the ground swallowed her void
Final farewells in blood ink cracking inferno and soul
One step from the abyss and the lure of canyon below
Jasmine stumbled to an exquisite conclusion her eyes
Cast lacrimal torrents in wet wild withering streams
Aghast in terminal turmoil and hooked to the cliff face
One bare string attached threadbare shreds by a tether
Currents had run dry but she managed an ultimate drop
To smoothen the voyage and slip into teasing caress
She let go on passionate falls and slipped on what remained
Of one last tear oozing into torn halves of unknown suspense
Jasmin licked her scarred wounds in taste of scary freedom and
Promised herself that holding on was simply not good enough
