VESUVIAN
Sheets aflame with greedy passion,
molten faith and igneous blessing
steal land.
Crashing bodies fuel mountain lust,
quake in unfathomable wake
and stutter
with inferno ecstasies.
Tectonic play shifts
and a heart encased in past regrets
cracks,
fissures of yearning destroying now.
The rumble of climax startles.
Fierce rages quelled by steaming surrender
Embrace like cool seas
Adding layers of calm and steaming faith,
a divine cataclysm
and a scar that builds
new verdant dreams
from delicious nightmares
of roiling destruction.
Don’t look.
A watched pot never boils.
Just turn away
and let the world sprawl out
while it consumes your unwillingness
and buries trust in permanence.
Seminal ash coats lovely flesh
in obsidian gratitude.
It’s enough.
Growing dark is still growing
and a charcoal heart
can pretend heat
even when it’s aching
in a cold bed.

@jesmegs and @leah_jean_writes were inspired to collaborate on a germ of an idea I gave them, then spread the blooming virus back to me. These are my symptoms.
