Pompeii

Without you
My soul lies
An inner 
Pompeii 
Frozen
In time
Mounds 
And 
Mounds 
Of  fallen 
Ash and
Century old
Magma
Weigh
Down 
Inside me
What 
Could have 
Been 
Should have 
Been 
Would have
Been
Alive and
Thriving
A volcano 
Of love
Our volcano
Erupting
From us
Molting
Pleasure
Our very own 
Carnal Pompeii.
So come back
To me
Bury me
With the 
Contents 
Of your core
Be my
Vesuvius
And leave me 
Nevermore!
