Vesuvious, no, never!
Veins of fire Etna gives
Vulcan, god of silver,
Various gems and gold,
Vermeil tidbits of bronze~
Verrayment to adorn
Venus his bride, his joy!
Vulcan is the god of fire in Roman mythology. His Greek equivalent is the god Hephaestus.

Autumn's Arrival
Leaves radiate vivid colors beautifying elms mesmerizing dubious eyes
Seized out of wooden closets woolen sweaters and scarfs would suffice
Warm breezes bade goodbye to an impending avalanche of glacial chill
Nights endure longer as stars paint panoramic scenes in silken vermeil
Stoking tinder in campfires country bumpkins imbibe whiskey and rum
Driver sporting Victorian gear embark on a horse and buggy tryout run
City dwellers undermine tourists upending stores plowing for a bargain
Autumn awaiting raindrops summon the skies to rain upon a mountain

My life's lain out in vibrant shades
Amongst the shards of broken dawn
I walk alone through what remains
Of how my soul has come and gone
I have know the night, the stars
And I have seen the endless flowers
Falling like a sea of mercury
To see is to feel; to touch is to know
These tears will never let me go
For I have known the ocean's tide
And I have felt those endless nights
Fading like the sea that was in me
My heart is lain within the sky
The sunset that has yet to die
