Love Against All Odds

An ember cloud and fireballs lit up the sky, as the lovers embraced each other in deep moment of love. They held each other's arms and kissed as though time had stopped. The two lovers turned to pillars of ash as Mount Vesuvius spewed out lava and rocks all over Pompeii. Their love was so deep and powerful, that not even the scorch of Mother Nature could separate them from their bond.... Date of Publishing: 9/14/2016 Inspired by the Movie: Pompeii (2014)

I watched the move. The volcano eruption scenes are quite compelling. The whole movie is actually very engaging. You portrayed it very well in your poem. Enjoyed reading it. Congratulations Teddy.

In reality, there's still white figures of humans and animals who suddenly turned to ash, when the extreme heat of Mt. Vesuvius eruption reached Pompeii villages. Thanks for wishing me well in the contest, Jan!! *^_^*
