Boiling Alive
January 16, 2014
Bubbling beneath the smooth
Surfaces of my base,
I try to forget but am Boiled alive
By the tension.
I cry for help in sudden gasps
And strange moods but you
Don't pick up,
Fascinated by the succubus
Of your own physical attraction.
I turn away,
Distance myself
And watch as the city I've built
Comes tumbling down as the
Glacial inferno that envelopes me
Consumes all I have.
I am Pompeii -
Lost in time,
A mere shadow of a past life -
But the Hummingbird stays
And I slip.
