The Intensity of Inner One
Close your eyes and hold breath
Count to ten and leave in air,
I think you can feel rest on tenth
Indeed,it's how you feel layer.
The inner layer of own mind,
In the deep ocean,you suppose
If you dive,you can see many kind
Of fishs and flora,and rise with close nose.
And again dive in it to see,
But I think you feel

I Dance All Night
I dance as soon as it is dusk,
I dance all through the night,
I dance in the darkness and
I dance in the moon’s light.
I dance to the beat of the stars,
I dance to the rhythm of the moon,
I dance until the morning breaks,
Which always comes too soon.

intensity of the tango
Intensity of their stares should melt the room
My skin is nearly on fire as I watch
This couple beat sensual and tense an hour ago
I have never seen anything like this before
And probably won’t again

The Twin Flame Way
[Verse]
I got cayenne in my coffee
and I served it up myself
I mixed it up with the cinnamon
and it sure woke up my mouth
You kept me up all night again
but only in my dreams
it seems you are not done with me
so 5th dimension is the only means
[Chorus]
Life is truely different
when you open your third eye
It takes

His eyes, molten amber in the midday sun's rays, shine with an intensity that takes my breath away
His eyes, molten amber in the midday sun's rays, shine with an intensity that takes my breath away,
Falling in love with him was an inevitable crime when our gazes met in a moment of eternity,
Those sparkling gems express unspoken feelings, unwritten stories, promises yet to be uttered,
I lose myself in their beauty, remaining motionless, a

Intensity
The chaos in my heart
Won’t allow for anything less
Than feeling love amplified
Heightened, magnified, buzzing
Intensity to the extreme
To care for is to cherish
To want is to yearn for
To miss is to crave
I don’t love, I consume
I encapsulate and devour
I envelope and obsess
My soul cannot bear the thought
Of living without love

I wish to love you with a primordial intensity
I wish to love you with a primordial intensity,
An ancestral cry born from the chaos of the soul,
Embracing you with a wild and pure force,
Not with words that dissipate in the wind of forgetfulness,
But with raw cries from the hidden corners of my being,
A love that flows like melted, hot honey,
An ecstasy that consumes me

The Burn Intensity
Is it acceptable to blaze so fervently?
Aflame with longing for the unattainable
To crave melting in their embrace
An emotion beyond understanding
Persistently yearning for their words
To partake in the exchange of energies
Uncover the details of their day
And unravel the threads of their plans
To yearn for a replay of our last encounter
Reliving the moments of entwined lips
Bodies swaying

Global Warming
The windows are boarded up in preparation for the storm
A weather event of this intensity is becoming the norm
Global warming continues to find a way to rule the day
For the planet to survive we must all strive to do things in a different way
If we could just drive a little less, recycle a little more,

breaking, it will melt with timed flakes of you—

Intensity
How does someone who has no one, escape being alone,
I'm left empty and broken, and no place left to call home,
Why do they all choose to leave scars, Causing damage beyond repair?
When all I did was love every single one of them, all I did was care,
I know you come in just as you leave,

The Master of Nuances
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.
