Notes About The Poem

Intensity's Revenge

The Story of Her Intensity

Intensity is what drove him away
Intense were her demands and great her need
Obsessive love a price he could not pay
And so he left- his heart and soul now freed

He tasted of a carefree reckless lust
No strings attached, just pleasure every day
No one to whom he had to bind his trust
His days were filled with dreams and nights with play

At times he thought of her and of her pain
She loved him with intense idolatry
But on his conscience she was just a stain
A proof that life was just hypocrisy  

One night when all alone he lay in bed
He felt a longing for her warm embrace
The vision of her body filled his head
Intensity of passion on her face

The years had passed and now he sought her love
He stood outside the bedroom of her heart
He hoped to find the wisdom from above
Believing she would grant a brand new start

But through the window came the muffled sound
Of moans of ecstasy he’d heard before
The world turned black, for he was losing ground
Intense the plea he heard, “Oh…give me more!”

The sound of her fulfillment reached his ear
Along with breathless gasps of lover’s voice
He turned away to face a life now drear
For her “intensity” left him with no choice

Hello my friend, I know we have spoken of intensity before as a force most people cannot deal with but i had not thought of the fact that the same intensity that drove someone away would force you to find another. Or am i misreading the intent? Love Shane xxx

Hello, Shane....A person who is intense...NEEDS to feel that intensity. Yes, to be without the passion that one needs might very well lead one to look elsewhere. It's sad, but true. Thanks for your visit to my work...and your friendship. Hugs

I guess the title wasn't too helpful...didn't get too many reads on this one. Thanks for your visit. Intensely passionate....It makes me so sad when people are passion...less. Oh well, their loss. Hugs
