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...

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...

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...

 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 ,...

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...

( 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...

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...

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...

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...

For the magic of heaven's stars have brought us to be,
By the look on your face right before you kiss me,
It's unexplainable, 
	Undeniable,
		Unbelievable...intensity.

For the coral cut out from the ocean's flow,
And your perfect face underneath a halo,
It's unfathomable,
	Unattainable,
		Unsustainable....intensity....

to the soul....

even as mortals
soul has flight
upon daring deeds
love attains the height,

of all we are,can be
far beyond this flesh
the soul the gift given
free us from this mesh,

beyond the stars heaven
waits in all it's glory
but how you get there
ahh,thats another story....

You
discern
the ice dam
that comes from a
river flushing raw to outrun Winter

breaking, it will melt with timed flakes of you—
directions had;
never will
I be
far...

rolling green hills, woods
noon sun and black-eyed susans
northern lights sunset

cherry trees, two hearts
lavender fields and lilacs

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.
