Molten Or Metallic Marvels

I really truly don't know 
why
some things under the 
sun and sky
attract and catch my 
fancy

Quite queerly they 
happen to be
hot melting smelting 
solids
that melt into exquisite 
liquids.

Take for instance heated 
liquid gold
molten glass or molten 
brass
and to watch magma 
'neath the earth's fold
Ooh I love just about any 
melting mass.

With similar bizarre 
ecstasy and fascination
do I always watch 
onscreen molten lava
Gliding in serpentine 
turns, oblivious of my 
admiration
Ah, I just love all that 
golden molten mass

Sometimes I even have 
such an eccentric craving
to watch just any solid 
beauty melting smelting
that I satisfy this craving 
by simply imagining
the honey to be some 
liquid fire gold
in a crystal clear jar and 
liken it to
a metallic gold syrup in 
the furnace burning
As if it were stagnant 
mini-lava
right before me glowing! 

As for other mesmeric 
things
that I find real eye-
catching
are those which 
everybody else finds 
ravishing.
And they are in all shine
dazzling diamond dust
Magical celestial stardust
Glittery terrestrial gold 
dust
in mankind's metallic 
materialistic lust.! 
But I, I am allergic to 
dust!:) ;)
