Best Intensity Poems
Tone down the intensity
Is like telling the sun
Not to reach its zenith
Of blazing, scorching heat
Or telling the waterfall
Just as it is ready to gush
Down in a tumult of
Freshness to hold back
At the edge
Or telling the volcano
Seconds away from erupting
Hot molten lava
To reingest the heat
And lie dormant
Or telling the tsunami
That is rushing headlong
To the shoreline
To recede back into
Nothingness and let go
Of its momentum of power
Or the shooting star
To not leave a sparkling trail
As the friction with air
Causes it to burn in brilliance
But to remain motionless
A pale light
On a dotted black sky
Tone down the intensity
For a person who embodies it
Is like telling nature to stand still
With bated breath
When all it wants to do
Is burst into a song of celebration.
Tone down the intensity?
Not a chance…
Tone UP the capacity
To live life!

You are the life of my death.
Holding in your hand the blood of my soul.
You are a gift wrapped with the fire and terror of love.
I want to die in you,
to have my soul smothered in your depths.
And disappear into the unseen world.
The world of life's death
That you carry in your heart.
Not everyone can live life in the “intense” mode
It taxes their emotions, and that they cannot bode
They want to be laid back and take things in their stride
So they tuck away their hearts and then run and hide
Intense people are a drain of time and energy
But if you want to see intense, take a look at me
Moments in life with emotions and thoughts are laced
Intensity kisses time, makes it sweetly paced
Sometimes my intensity…can be quite "INTENSE"
Embodiment of passion: woman with no "sense"
But look at it this way, and then you’ll get it right
Passion should be intense, anytime day or night
Think of it and imagine… that long scorching kiss
When you are pleasured, intensity you’ll not miss
Think of how you’re wanted with intense desire
Intensity makes eternal flames from fire
Intensity of thought will make you feel profound
It’s what will make you soar high...up above the ground
Intensity gives meaning to moments in time
Makes you intensely long to live in the sublime
Intense adoration will be a nat’ral thing
Love will be intense and fulfillment it will bring
Intense caressing: love making to the extreme
Desire drenched in real life and not just a dream
Intense, intense, a curse or is it a blessing sweet?
Well, I guess you’ll never know, until Eileen you meet! ;)

Become simile as the burning moth
Every solitary second persist to dement her.
Whose morning budy smile is the coolness of my desserted heart
But was never stopped setting me off.
Ocean of hot tears shedding from eyes
But was never stopped prosecuting me.
Remained unknown to bereavement goblet
But never stopped barmaid to imbibing me.
Pen starts shivering with pain while writting!
How could I fix it into script, i think.
Plenty of pains hidden inside the heart !
how could I express if I will.
Though independent but in the fetter of pain
How could I disentangle from love shackles.
Intensity RIVER AND LAKES—
The lands have a sore throat;
Because of this harsh winter;
Like a trachea a winding way to the mouth;
Also does a river flows it too has water a mouth;
Temperate lows and frigid temperatures- when warmed rising waters;
Freezing of the watered holes
Intensity , Disrupts the natural flooding cycles
Major reduced flowing drains wetlands-when warmed rising waters;
Intensity, But alas this hard torrid winter snow and ice running over lands;
Has treated cuts Rivers off from their floodplains-when warmed rising waters;
Intensity, This isn’t so nice many tributary streams to high now
Flooding the plains and inundates riparian habitats running over lands;
Intensity, Great lakes gives us benefit providing water,
Food for human use water purification for the cities and the nations
So tasty and beautiful pure clean water rivers and nutrients
To support ecosystems importance of rivers carries all around the earth.
They play a very important part in the water floats
Intensity much snowing snowed in winter’s storms;
Intensity now spring has sprung it’s now ever so warm;
Intensity Melting’s of Icy waters and jams;
Intensity Reeking havoc on animals and man;
Intensity S O S for land for earth,-when warmed rising waters
This harsh winder has taken a toll on us-when warmed rising waters
For all the turmoil flooding on the Midwest Rivers and Lakes;
Help us all Lord for heaven’s sake Intensity
Rushing waters on Rivers and Lakes;

The second I saw you walk in my door
and knew then that i would have your clothes on the floor
It only took one look of desire
To tell me that you were on fire
I slowly start rubbing your thigh
I take that chance you know i gotta try
because there is a connection between you and i
you set my soul on fire and make me able to fly
I couldnt believe the beauty of your naked form
With a body like that will you make a ****
I want to put it down we could label it hardcore
We're gonna do it all night im gonna make you sore
Bend you in so many different directions have you beggin for more
im the director youll go where i tell you to go
i love the way you move fast and slow
it hypnotizes me the way your sweat glows
If your into it thats how i know
too much energy is something unknown
Passion its what makes you moan
Passion fell by the wayside
Cold Phoenix doubt rose from the ashes
smouldering on the inside
Broken candlelight date invitations
rue glow leaves grey matter with dark, unsettling thoughts
Giving restless peace of mind,
plenty wary settle down reservations
Apache war paint tone
crack the dead zone silence
Smoke signals sent
on a cellular fossilized moan
Twitchy nerve forward move hesitation;
don’t know whether to try to stem the scarlet cries,
or just roll with the crimson tide
Sky high pleasure reverie ... stratosphere ecstasy
got sent earthbound,
by a suspicious cloud of tepid anger
Whirlwind cardiac breaker of fractured intensity
It feels like the heat of anticipated intimacy,
ain’t as warm as it use to be
Broken flower vase steam has gotten stint frosty
Petrified tears can so easily break a fragile heart,
calcified fears make it hard to do a makeover start
When easy loving falls on the rocky roadside,
a broken spirit is often difficult to mend
in a shattered trust situation
Heartfelt embraces ain’t as close
like they use to be
Empty kinetic feeling of diffused heat
seeps of fractured pulse intensity
Dampened emotions gotta levee flow free;
can’t fake the sweat,
if the effort don’t staunch the tear bleed
Place a plaster cast on a broken heart,
then daub the pain
with gypsum dreams
of beautiful, mosaic memories —
Tessellated tears of tessera fears,
checkered scars
healing in place piece-by-piece
Broken mirror reflects another face:
Fractured intensity
slumber sutures reveal
a new, pillow stitched identity
The intensity of her minds wiring
into her writing leaves some people
feeling uncomfortable that the rug
of shag comfort has been ripped apart
from underneath them and that was not her
intention, in mentioning that shes so gifted,
and prolific, that shes making it hard for them,
too just drink inside the depths, of the carpet
fibers of her minds intelligence, weaving
creative ingeniously into the design of just being
who she really is, an ornamental carpet ,to display,
on the floor of peoples discontented and
uncomfortable jealousy in their weaving of
the fibers of the rumors of her being " Just Crazy".
i remember most your eyes
and how they melted my heart

( INTENSITY )
Higher and higher your adrenalin starts to mount.
The higher you get, the easier it is to count.
Your heart starts to race, the beating is quick.
Not sure if its nausea, cause you feel very sick.
Down you go, your body yells scream.
You feel so alive, definitely not a dream.
Back up again, the ups and downs are crazy.
It jerks you left and right, keeping you from being lazy.
Finally relaxation, your body catches up with your heart.
Knowing there`s more to come, is the hardest part.
Prepared for more action, as you rise to the occasion.
Making sure that you are strapped, in case of abrasion.
Here comes the climb, you anticipate the speed.
You cry out for more, the satisfaction, the need.
The roller coaster slows down, your heart takes the pity.
The ride was so awesome, so much intensity.
The Master of Nuances
Supreme literary intensity
Rainer Maria Rilke—
Inspired as Orpheus sings
Predilection for Die Dinge
A mastery of true nuances
A thirst for poetic symbols
He sings now with Orpheus
And the angels in Heaven.

A warm overwhelming sensation grabbed at me As she emerged from behind the gate of her wall fence. Her eyes arched so invitingly, in my rain drenched clothes I felt a unique cold get hold of me.
She hip-swished towards me gesturing which direction we should go. Beautiful dress wrapped around her, awe in her eyes and in disbelief I was there. For a second a temptation to kiss her gripped me as her emerald brown eyes lit with passion.
The dress held on to her body and mapped out a picture of opulent beauty. She walked with me to my place. She lowered her body into the comfort of my arms, with a tender and precise intent of affection was her touch.
As her lips met mine, I felt the earth stand still, the warmth of her body pressed against me. Gentle fingers caressed the back of my head. I put my arms around her and held her hips and pulled her even closer and made slow marvellous love.
The passion with which she held my waist was amazing, the intensity had my heart beating to the sound of her breathing, it was a day of passion set in motion.
rolling green hills, woods
noon sun and black-eyed susans
northern lights sunset
cherry trees, two hearts
lavender fields and lilacs
lorikeet rainbow
Just a look
yet a torrent
of hidden emotion
Just a smile
yet a message
of concealed affection
Just a touch
yet an eruption
of channelled passion
