Liquid metal metallic cravings

Fiery liquid

Liquid metal metallic cravings

I really truly don't knowĀ  Ā Ā 
why
some things under theĀ  Ā Ā 
sun and skyĀ Ā 
attract and catch myĀ  Ā Ā 
fancyĀ Ā 
Quite queerly theyĀ  Ā Ā 
happen to beĀ Ā 
hot melting smeltingĀ  Ā Ā 
solidsĀ Ā 
that melt into exquisiteĀ  Ā Ā 
liquids.Ā Ā 
Take for instance heatedĀ  Ā Ā 
liquid goldĀ Ā 
molten glass or moltenĀ  Ā Ā 
brassĀ Ā 
and to watch magmaĀ  Ā Ā 
'neath the earth's foldĀ Ā 
Ooh I love just about anyĀ  Ā Ā 
melting mass.Ā Ā 
Ā 
With similar bizarreĀ  Ā Ā 
ecstasy and fascinationĀ Ā 
I like to watchĀ 
onscreen molten lavaĀ Ā 
Gliding in serpentineĀ  Ā Ā 
turns, oblivious of myĀ  Ā Ā 
admirationĀ Ā 
Ah, I just love all thatĀ  Ā Ā 
golden molten mass .Ā 

Liquidised metal, liquid fire
I just don't ever tire
Ā 
Sometimes I even haveĀ  Ā Ā 
such an eccentric cravingĀ Ā 
to watch just any solidĀ  Ā Ā 
beauty melting smeltingĀ Ā 
that I satisfy this cravingĀ  Ā Ā 
by simply imaginingĀ Ā 
the honey to be someĀ  Ā Ā 
liquid fire gold glowingĀ  Ā Ā 
in a crystal clear jar andĀ  Ā Ā 
liken it toĀ Ā 
metallic gold syrup inĀ  Ā Ā 
the furnace burningĀ Ā 
As if it were stagnantĀ  Ā Ā 
mini-lavaĀ Ā 
right before me churning !Ā Ā 
Ā 
As for other mesmericĀ  Ā Ā 
thingsĀ Ā 
that I find real eye-Ā Ā 
catchingĀ Ā 
are those whichĀ  Ā Ā 
everybody else findsĀ  Ā Ā 
ravishing.Ā Ā 
And they are in all shineĀ Ā 
dazzling diamond dustĀ Ā 
Glittery terrestrial goldĀ  Ā Ā 
dustĀ Ā 
in mankind's metallicĀ  Ā Ā 
materialistic lust.!Ā Ā 
Ā 
Or even magical celestial stardustĀ Ā 
in heavenly mould and castĀ  Ā Ā 
Btw I am allergic to earthlyĀ Ā 
dust!:)

Being Me

I know exactly what you mean here! There's something weirdly satisfying watching molten liquids (metal or glass or rock) being poured. The way they twist molten glass amazes me... I could watch it for ages. I pinned the poem because I can really relate to it. Great poem x

As most have said, the flow is bloody brilliant, but I'd also like to say, I love how you structured this poem. Every line seems to track onto the next as a clear continual train of thought, sometimes this loses the engagement of the audience, but not for me, I read the whole way through. Enjoyed this one heaps thank you for referring me to it.
