Fire-bright moments press against my heartbeat,
pulling breath taut as wire in a storm wind;
even stillness trembles under their pressure~
pure, unbroken force.
/\
Pulse
and eyes
wax intense
hypnotic verve
she obeys I'll serve
libido spreads wildfire
appetence spirals haywire
red lipstick stokes our inferno
nails digging deeply in nape of neck
potency’s proven kept well in check
tongue tied and oral exhorting
won't fall silent til morning
kept awake by boring
cannot get enough
taming is rough
and tender
seeding
Salve
\/
The world moved around her
As if floating on air
Every inch of her skin
Consumed by a burning passion
Only living through a dance
Keeping her mind at ease
And as every bad misfortune
Swiftly moved through her
Pleasure took over
Heat
Dark sky
Distant sound
Wind starts to wail
Sudden blinding flash
Thunder crashes outside
Rain lashes down in a wrath
Shattering branches in the night
The world shakes beneath the grave barrage
Morning light breaks through the silver clouds
Dripping trees in the calm morning
Puddles reflect the clear sky
A bird sings its first song
The air feels renewed
Everything’s mute
Silence now
Peaceful
Still
Devolping a blueprint
this guy is "Championship
Material"; A scientific display
in full display of both men's
Ability. Due to there likeness
there display is equal, only due
the "Championship Advantage"
The "Champions Advantage" is
Seen through how the champion
defends. "A hand over the lions
cage, might give advantage to the
cagey experienced guy: if the challenger
makes him quit or hurts the champion
It gives him advantage to the board of
directers .Tokens and same tokens only
Gives the challenger reason to challenge.
A clear decisive defeat gives either challenger
reason to go on: or gives champion reason
to dismiss. A champion is dethroned, a worthy
Challenger gives reasons for a champion to bragg!
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 still
With this imagination ,now flee
Like a bird and tension kill.
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 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 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,
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 to the very last fragment,
Leaving me stripped of all my old masks,
Divested of old identities and reborn anew,
Carried on the wings of a passion without limits,
Just as the waves secretly embrace the shore,
My love envelops you like an ancient song,
Resonating beyond time and space,
In a symphony of deep and pure silence,
Leaving me bare and reborn in emotions.
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 to a well-known cadence
This sensation ensnares me
Every attempt to escape is futile
You draw me back, compelling me to ask:
Is it permissible to burn with such intensity?
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, or just plant a tree
A collective effort would certainly help I am sure we all agree
Severe floods are leading to an increase in airborne diseases
Intense hurricane winds are far more destructive than just a gentle breeze
Droughts are far more frequent with soaring temperatures ruling the day
Making it even more difficult for our children to go out and play
Carbon dioxide levels up twenty-five percent in the last sixty-five years
A stark reminder if we do not change our planet will slowly disappear
i remember most your eyes
and how they melted my heart

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.
