Lava Souls

Hungry lips
pressing down
on tender bruised flesh
igniting passions to rise
and swelter over
flowing magmas
internal eruptions
as souls become
volcanoes

Good use of metaphor in this poem. it's sensous without being pornographic. I enjoyed reading!

[writing mojo]

nice concise flow to keep soothing like the new coming from below the old foundations of pain and lust you chemically express... great piece

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

This is passion ignited, my friend. I truly enjoyed how you entertwined the ideas of volcanoes/magma/lava with the idea of burgeoning passion and desire, because the two fit so well together on a metaphorical scale. This piece has a rise and fall of it's own...well done.

The center of the earth is still unknown, like the soul that burns inside. Therefore, your analogy is precise and your descriptions of flesh upon flesh igniting a fire that rises and overtakes like lava is truth.

P.S. I like the mushroom ;)

Volcanoes offer a close parallel to sex and you have exploited that well

[LadySoDivine]

Very passionate, very invigorating. A wonderful story told in just a few words. Excellent poem. :)
