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 Jade

Thank you, Funom. I appreciate your visit. I'm going to be away from the Soup for about a month...Some issues that I need to attend to. Feel free to visit my earlier works. I will catch up with you when I get back. :)

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
