' Volcano (Or the Perils of Passion) '

‘ Volcano’ ( or The Perils of Passion ) Volcano … You Inferno ! … You, Latent Threat … I am not Ready, for Your Rise … just Yet … So Stay Low and Do Not Throw … … Your Boiling-So, … Nor Tell-Tale, Glow Your Trembling Thrill, is Unseemly, So Leave … Is that Bubbling-Fire, Leaping ? … Not Now, Please ! With Cool-Logic and Reason, Let The Brain- Blow ! … and Ease the Simmering, Sultry, Steam Below … Stay Sluggish and Drain thru my Strained-Veins ‘Lest Nothing, but Ashes and Embers Remain Journey to The Center of The Earth … Don’t Emerge ! ‘Lest The Core of My Being … Spill Over and Purge … Burning This Complacency … This Routine Degree For this Mercury, could Melt my Civility or Expose my Feminine – Fear of Falling into Fissure bringing Scalding Tears and Smoke-Screen Tissues… … All in His Temperate-Touch, lays my Malfunction He has Ignited, a Full-Blown, Sky-High Eruption ! Consuming Heat, Please – Show Some Compunction ! Would Moving Further Away, Stop Quaking Expulsions ? … My Heart is Napalm-Warm … I Know … but … Does It Have to put on a Shower of Sparks Show ? Oh, I Can Not Stand This Incinerated Assault, Any More Not, While, He Persists … To Pour and Pour … … Too Late, I Sputter … Now, Lava Flows … Alive-Thing … on Volcano Floes Caught … In Volcano Throes … … Molten Sea ... Let It Go
