Volcano

volcano

Huge explosives of nascent hydrogen
twelve hundred square feet explosive house
in companionship of a gentle woman loaded with gelatin
in liquid nitroglycerin's  warm touch
sweet mouth of potassium cyanide.

A lively life; Chloroform
covered fragrant heart door.
In the sea of happiness, in the stream of dark red blood
crowded with carbon monoxide and arsenic
Life is such a horrible beautiful volcano.

Life can be good and it can be bad and you have expressed all the explosive elements touched with love(maybe gone bad?). I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for your visit to my page. I appreciate the time spent there. Sara

Life can be explosive…violent! Imagery abounds.
