Volcanoes Waiting
Volcanoes waiting to explode
slumbering miles within the earth
invisible to questing eyes
all too ready to believe the lies
those fairy tales of life expressed
of base desires too long repressed
even while the pressure builds
wishing joys to be fulfilled
those delights of raptured breath
hinted as the tremors build
explosions waiting in the realms
sequestered by the hesitant
everything burns in the end
eruptions damning past repents
they matter not when the flesh
takes its due as planets twitch.
