We have made a pact with the fiery flow .
We loved each other amid the stirring
of a womb that bore no children .
Pyroclastic easement .
worshippers of idols whose sulfuric breath
whispered to us :
- Our flaming swarms are growing impatient
for your tormented flesh ! ''
Lovers of lava snakes who scorn the cold stars
that think themselves so wise ,
you will perish in the desire of your inner pyre !
The great master of the underworld
inviting you to a final embrace .
Beyond the fusion ,lies the tetralogy's finale echo...
Our alchemical souls long for tectonic chaos
and organized disorder ...
This cursed land sanctifies us .
We are touching the immortality ...
He took her hand .
she smiled at him .
Farewell kiss on the edge of the abyss .
so many volcanoes awaiting us on Venus !
The mountain ,its gaze filled with tenderness ,
open its arms to the children it has finally
found again ...
born of the fiery flow .
(dedicated to Katia and Maurice Krafft .vulcanologists )

They were the rock stars of science. They knew that sooner or later the volcano would take them. Beautifully written.
They didn't really like humanity but they worked in its interest ...
A poetic journey my friend nicely penned
Human dimension amid telluric demesure ...
Human dimension is limited between three foot and eight
You’re profile pic is nice
Thank you ! Its me in 1776 !
Beautifully composed .
A fave .
A tribute to an exceptional couple united by the same inner fire !
Lorenz, this is one wild and feverish ride. The volcanic imagery feels completely fused with love, death, and devotion until everything burns together into the same sacred fire. There’s something hypnotic about it…beautiful and catastrophic at once. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
what destroys us is also what gives meaning to our lives .
