Vines of heat

root inside my gushy center

unfurling and stretching

from my magma core.

Blossoming out of nerve bundles

the syrupy tang froths

from the mouth of my

volcanic cavern.

They have come.

Rocked by eruptions

and quakes

the urge to shake more

as the tingles

vibrate my pillowed walls.

My body an instrument

tuned by fork-like

fingers.

Play me hard;

ride with me on the crests

of sultry, sensuous waves;

lie in my sudsy warm foam;

and swirl on the simmer

till we smoke.

As the moon rises,

my petals fold up,

cooling.

Basking in a fog

made of cream and sweet lull.
