AUTHOR'S REVIEW
I usually prefer to write about a common topic or something everyone can understand by giving a different perspective of it. Most of my poetry are usually one word topics such as serenade, asteriod , lilac and many more. I have a thing for constructing the theme of my work around a topic which I use as my anchor point. The inspiration behind this piece was channeled through me. This is what I mean, I have so much going on in my head to pour out. My mind is in a state of word bombardment like an heavy artillery strike.
Using myself as a focal point for this piece. I came up with this "Volcano" as the poetry title which the piece resonates on. This particular poetry does not explain how I feel but rather it details a feeling of holding thoughts or expression inside
THE MESSAGE
The poem is about a lady who has been sad for so long with no hope of love. She has locked up the feeling to embrace love inside of her. The narrator aims to break her down to make her fall in love with him for his intentions are true and pure. The narrator believes he can free her of her depressed state for she has been jailed in her subconscious of sadness.
In the end, she was saved by his charm and love. Free like bird and her emotions are running wild like a firework making her beautiful. A heart filled with love is beautiful
POETRY ANALYSIS
This poetry is a special genre of mine called Mellexy which is a combination of mellow and sexy with a blend of personification.
In the first line I'm here to break up your lonely, the narrator defines his objective to interfere in her life by making his intentions know.
In his attempt to sway her into his loving embrace, he lays emphasis using an oxymoron in line 2: Make you miserably wanted. Connoting that she will feel wanted in love.
He further goes further in dept to clear his aim Ruin your blue & disable your defenses
The former means that her sadness will end or in simple terms he will make her happy. Like the human immune system fights off infections so does her mental state of mind fights off any attempt or signal of love which seeks to infiltrate her being.
open up your doors ... Calling her out of her shell. The intent is to let her make a conscious effort.
She's lonely , she has no room for no one in her heart has stated in this line into your world of no vacancy
And for this reason, the narrator wants to change her mood like a bad weather let me in to change your mood
In changing her mood, the narrator makes a promise of what she should expect
The next line has to do with some word play with a Greek mythology extract.
and bring Hades to daydreaming of fantasies. In this context, Hades means death. As a result of her depression she often daydreams of fantasies which the narrator wants to make all of it a breathing reality for her which was backed up in the next line.
In the concluding verses, the narrator agitates her to erupt (embrace life & love). To let out all the hate, anger, loneliness, sadness and depression as put in this word play ...
After the eruption , vomiting all the junk feelings of her life she will fell refresh and be beautiful as described in the final verse of the poetry.
COMMENTS FROM THE AUTHOR'S DESK
I found this piece to be quite unique as much as it breeds the concept of my kind of poetry mellexy. I loved the fact that I managed to personify a volcano into a feeling. When you see or hear the word volcano as a feeling the first thing that may come to mind is anger or something devastating that destroys everything in its wake.
For me, I try to break that cliche and redefine my art and style in poetry. I hope you enjoyed my work.

ok, this poem scared me. that is to show how intriguing the poem is. the commentary is nice and i particularly like how the reference to Hades was explained. now, my perspective of the subject matter aside, i felt this poem hit its notes and was a strong piece. Keep it all the way up.
