volcano girl
he heard it whispered
among the ashy pines
the villagers kept their distance
but he made up his mind
molten lava bubbled
along her milky spine
and secrets hid inside her
were treasures, hard to find
he took his boots and pick axe
dared travel to her core
and before he burnt he managed
to find a creature to adore
her tears slid down the rock face
trailed smoke in their wake
in him she felt a hunger
in her he felt an ache
to find what they abandoned
the ones standing at the foot
of the burning mountain
under several blankets of soot
maybe she was a creature
cursed, feared, misunderstood
but if anyone could make it
he knew that he could
so to the peaks he traveled
to catch glimpses of the wonder
he wiped his brow and smiled
and then he traveled under
pushing through the tephra
against volcanic rock
he was not there to rescue her
love was not what he sought
but in her caves they found it
that brightly glowing thought
that maybe if you stay here
this could slow the onslaught
of doubt and pain and worry
every single day
the lava that boils in her
and eventually cascades
down the valleys of her neckline
across her stranger hills
and reaches to the village
where it surely kill
all the ones that live there
with her hope and confidence in hand
and then again the earth is straining
to give life back to the land
but look a single "Miner"
who unknown to him had saved
a fabled quiet creature
through the fires he had braved
you can find them now there standing
next to the house they built
out of ashy pines and tephra
and their flowers do not wilt
in the spring you hear them
laughing in the glade
volcano girl
he whispers
i never thought i would see this day
something i wrote up for mah fancy lad a while ago and forgot to submit
not the best im out of practice yo
