Intense Poems

Innocent Victim

Amidst intense bullet rain
A little scavenger came to collect casings
Shot, bleeding—the smell of gunpowder in his pocket.

Tanks arriving from the city,
The heartless brutality of olive-green clad people—
Fire-spitting defiance—the ruler's red eyes.

The wound of losing colleagues
People who easily forget, take action
The olive-green clad trusted ones take action.
Those whom people consider dearest
The last refuge for justice in

Embers

Alas, my heart!
Breathe. Behave. 
A saviour awaits your sinking gaze
Too much of your eyes would set it all ablaze.
Bring with you a lamp so bright
Burn my kingdom. Alas, we’d be the only ones alive.

Life, Death and the Sixth Sin


In twilight's reach where shadows creep,
Death stirs awake from a slumber deep.
Shuffling the folds of it’s cloak
For the courage to kill, choking life till smoke.

Bits of maroon shattered mirror fell,
And with it came down the magic of life’s spell.
The search for guts led to revisiting death’s long-sealed heart.
The film of love by life-giving life to

Razed Heart, Hopeful Soul

Whispers of your skin, a piercing ember
Razing my soul, in heart's December
You spurn my soul, still I'm holding on tight
To the oath of your love, a guiding light

Premium MemberThe Cold Invasion

The cold invading army has entered through the mouth and nose
Medications are ready to stop this relentless attack, trying to be composed
The body must prepare for an intense battle as germs are seasoned veterans of war
Exploding coughs are just the beginning of what I have in store
Fluids must flow freely to flush out the enemy

A False Combination

Sometimes I don't know you,
Other times I don't know me,
Sometimes, you are just a stranger crossing the sky's limit,
Other times, you are my dearest brethren.

You don't look beyond the surface,
My perceived height is nothing but a miracle,
You only know the skin-deep conscience,
I think of you as a divine arcade. 

I was so in my desired continent,
You

Too intense

You made me feel
my love was wrong
it was too intense
it was too strong
it was too scary
it was too dumb
something to play with 
or to run away from.

Premium MemberIntense Argument On the Playground

They were both breathing harder than dragons on steroids
Two kindergarten students who are usually friends.
I took one, another adult took the other.
They were both out-of-control-angry

Steam and ash was coming out of one’s mouth
The other one's left ear was shooting out smoke
It took a bit of calm down time to get to the crux of it
He

Immense Intense Love

My love for you,
      it's so immense
     it's so much larger
     than the sea...
     It's so, so intense
    that I can't explain
    or express
    with words

Intense; and peaceable!
Storm's approach; sunset's.
Facing Death, as much at odds
What to feel begets.

Tense

this is... confusing and increases
from tense to intense
I woke up with less pain
but it was in the flesh and now
it only gets worse you can see
as it increases and is tense
and how it stings and hurts
and everything indicates that it is inside
it hurts inside and unbalances
unbalance and disorient
it doesn't calm and intensify
it doesn't get better

Premium MemberIntense

She caught my gaze
But she broke away
The intensity in my eyes
Catching her by surprise
More in a stare
Than in any words I spoke
But how could I feel
And how could I hope to heal
I loved her
And just once
I want to catch her gaze
Because I won't break away
With a matching intensity in my eyes
May there be no surprise
Instead
