a volcano
stirring just beneath the surface
ready to erupt
ready to engulf the whole world
in its fiery anger
a smile
a touch
a kiss
and then calmness
and the tones of haunting red
transform before his very eyes
into the blue she's craved forever
a second glance
a second touch of timid fingers
a second shiver
and it's purple
bound to light you up
but just enough to keep your from burning
and then
her world stops spinning
ripping at the seams
spilling over the surface
and like molten lava
it turns
black.
