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

Molten

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!
