Mercury oozes like lava only faster ‒ it’s quicksilver. It can beat like a human heart when exposed to certain elements. Somehow I made yours beat and you lathered me in your beautiful ooze. You are irrepressible, irresistible but also capricious. In the blink of an eye you can become volatile. Your ooze turns into lava that razes the places you’ve touched. I am burnt. Then just as quickly you turn to liquid gold, slowing down, passionately covering me with the precious metal that you are. I am subdued and become glued to you, until you change once again into poison.
