A Final Duet

[The Temporal Twins 89]

I wrote this as a Dialog for Octavia in the image, "Sad Octavia", by http://shadow-rhapsody.deviantart.com"]~shadow-rhapsody[/url]

Since I wrote this as a dialog for Octavia, I tried phrase it to match her accent and speaking style.

So, make sure you read this in Octavia's accent so that it rhymes and flows correctly.

For those of you who don't know Octavia's accent and speaking style;
She talks in an old English accent (kind of like someone from England would have)

She also likes to use sophisticated (Smart) words.

 

 

My dear Vinyl, who could have foreseen

my dear friend, how long has it been

It seems an eternity, since I've seen your face

so leaving the train, I had a quick pace

I went to our house, nopony was there

I peered inside, but found it was bare

I wondered then, what could have occurred

you leaving town, just seemed so absurd

I searched high, and ever so low

wondering still, where did you go

I asked around, nopony talked

with sad faces, away they walked

I didn't Know, I wondered why

what had I said, to make them cry

Suddenly I heard, a tune I knew

I heard it before, while I lived with you

I saw a glimmer, a spark of hope

at the top, of the grassy slope

It came from there, without a doubt

the song I heard, the town throughout

The sound you played, it beckoned to me

I followed it gladly, filled with glee

But as I reached, the top of this hill

my happiness had, all but it's fill

Sadness now came, in roaring seas

and weeping now, I fell to my knees

For at the top, where your music would boom

I found you sleeping, in your musical tomb

Kneeling here, for you I cry

still I wonder, How, when, and why

Now as your song, comes to a close

it stops for a moment, then again it goes

It made me realize, with the hint of a grin

you're alive in my heart, and the music therein

It matters not, What, Why, or when

but rather this moment, and what's done within

So I'll stand now, stand by your side

the reach of our friendship, death cannot divide

I'll pull out my cello, we'll play a duet

the likes of which, none have heard yet

You with your beat, and me with my string

together we'll make, this sad world sing

We'll take their song, so sorry and sad

we'll take it now, and make it glad

We'll fill it full, with a happy cheer

we'll show the world, there's nothing to fear

We'll play together, just you and I

a final duet, as a lasting goodbye

Goodbye to your body, but not your soul

it survives through my heart, keeping it whole

Now I'm not sad, I cannot lie

I'm just so happy, that now I cry

For Deep down, inside I know

through my music, your soul will flow

I play for you now, and with you forever

when next I'm alone, shall be never

For together we are, our music now one

with taut strings, and records spun.

I have a bit of mixed feelings about this poem, as in I like it and hate it at the same time.
But, I think it's just the fact that it doesn't seen to flow right if you don't read it in Octavia's accent.
Maybe it's that I had to change my writing style for this piece.
Or maybe it's just all the big words I had to use.

Either way,
Let me know what you think...
