Leave me be.
Isolated.
A scratchy mantle
Like a shield
Covering my damaged surface ~
Cracked outer shell.
My dome appearance
Outwardly
Solidifying
To crusty cool.
Raging inside.
Million bits bursting
Blistered
Burning
Engulfed in flames
Spitting searing sparks.
Most active
Mountainous perception.
Massive internal swelling,
Nature's course.
Time's indication,
Violent expulsion,
Through that cursed gaping hole.
Down deep
Melting hot
Lava flow
Escaping from caverns below.
Unstoppable river force
Heavy
Thick
Slow-moving
Molten Red.
Stress intensity ~
Telltale sign
Towards consistent eruption occurrence.
Immense proportion
Causing great damage
Along its violent pathway
Vaporizing fragile landscape.
All life lost.
