"intensify" poems
The dark corridor did nothing But intensify her gaze I could tell my eyes were so transparent, She could see through me With her glass eyes

Glass Eyes
I do not identify myself as a black american I do not identify myself as an activist I do not identify myself As anything other than what I am Do not arbitrate my existence It will only magnify your bigotry Do not lecture me It will not ratify your ministry Do not objectify my identity Do not marginalize my sincerity I know your criticism It will not dwindle me I am defiantly deaf to it It will not compute Trust me It will only intensify What I occupy Do not subject me to anomaly Do not try and direct me I will not comply Do not concern yourself with my essentiality I am not lost Do not concern yourself With what defines me Just ask If I am willing and able.

I Am..
*~ **Him sits in an arm chair slouched and relaxed, watching her with a glass of whiskey in his hand** ~ Her lays on the bed naked, long legs spread watching him watching her. ~ **Him asks her to do what he had been dreaming of even before seeing her naked. Beautiful scenery** ~ Her strokes light and feathery, at first delicate fingers tracing up and down while the other hand on her breast tipping her nip ~ **Him mesmerized by the show he takes a sip of whiskey the burn does not compare to the burn growing in his pants** ~ Her dips a finger inside, spreading the glistening liquid found across her inner lips increasing the pressure and moving from side to side ~ **Him doesn’t know where to look as she concentrates on her ****** pulling at the tip she gnaws her bottom lip he settles on her eyes** ~ Her picks up speed, the circles of her fingers smaller and smaller, focusing on her pearl shallow breaths growing rapid as she nears her peak ~ **Him slips out of his shirt he starts to sweat unbuckling his pants to release the growing pressure** ~ Her tilts her hips finding the optimal position to intensify her pleasure ~ **Him holds his breath to hear the gasping of her breath** ~ Her eyes on him, longingly, back arches, head falls back and lips part “Oh God” in heavy breath ~ **Him “Amazing” whispers unsure he said it aloud** ~*

Hand In Hand
There's always that one guy, That no matter what, you can never let go of him. At nights, you're dreaming of the "impossible" day, When all he sees is you. And you can't help but fall for him, Everytime you greet him. You were always by his side. Yet sadly, he saw you as just a friend. One day you see him talking to her, And you just shrug it off. But then you notice the feelings between the two, Intensify by the day. And all you are, Is an unloved stray.

~Unloved Stray~
If I have a daughter I will name her Katrina Remind her she is beautiful Brought forth from the passion of the sea She is a mix of warm Atlantic winds strong enough to devastate a nation in just a puff of her breath wild enough to tracer the ocean stretch out her wings and fly watchful enough to remember that spinning is dangerous but curious enough to want to go find land In Winter, she hibernates waiting for warmer weather to envelop her soul and bring life to her feet In Spring, she stretches out her arms and yawns, smiling as the sun’s rays caress her face In Summer, she giggles and asks to travel, whip across the ocean sprint across the earth She has no idea that exploring Surging through the sea will bring destruction but when I tell her she only laughs and says Mom, you are the eye of my storm and I will keep you safe So, in Autumn, I will buy her a ticket to anywhere and as she spins out of my home I brace myself for her eye to shrink and her storm to intensify because I know what is coming While she loses herself in the ecstasy of life I shield myself as the eye wall, the freest of her passions, crashes down on me with the force of 400 tornadoes But I smile because I know it will be over soon because winter is coming and the rains will cease to fall and she will settle down into her new life and her new home and one day I will get a call “Mom, our daughter’s name is Sandy,” And I will smile and watch from afar as history repeats itself and once again I will brace myself for the most beautiful of hurricanes

I want to feel your lips on mine a tingle, a breath a kiss of death a stolen whisper lost in time a spark, a heartbeat a rush of heat with tiny stars behind your eyes an evening full of countless sighs, dainty dimples and forgotten smiles I feel the passion intensify as you wrap your arms, around mine we spiral into neverland a rabbit hole, hand in hand until the stars succumb the night a faded memory, a dying light you are my dreaded silver knight,

dainty dimples and forgotten smiles
Your bedroom is always so dark, an empty void. I could really use this line as a metaphor to describe my heart, but I won't. I'm not fond of metaphors to tell you the truth, and you never understand them anyway. Your bedroom is always so dark,  but not quite pitch black. There's an artificial cerulean glow coming from your clock's display, which is a tad large for my taste. And to be honest, it irritates me some, I like the red alarms quite more. Your bedroom has a very plain bed, where we like to snuggle. I curl up with you to intensify my persuasions - it's no secret - and I'm okay with it for now. I'm usually the spoon  and you're the noodle, but we both agree that the pretzel is that much more amazing. Your bedroom has a very plain bed, on which we amaze each other. The single blanket we lay under, sometimes over, is covered in me, because of you. I always laugh a little, and think that you sleep with me every night, even when I'm not in your room.

Your bedroom
The voices inside my head are taking over. These u-u-uncontrollable quirks I have. My eyes twitch as many times as a heart beats after doing a triathlon. In my head of runs a marathon of thoughts that don't belong, things I can't do because they're wrong. Within my blood stream flows 1.26 grams of dopamine given to me by doctors who don't know how to fix my situation, only mix prescriptions to intensify vexation. Pharmacists eyeball me fearingly because I appear to be nothing but someone with chemicals wandering around into the little bit of a brain I have left. Serotonin to regulate my mood, appetite, and sleep but I still only wish for all of this to be nothing but a dream. All of this making my intestines mutilate, slowly dying inside as if I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Otherwise known as I.B.S. but I know for a fact that this is all just a bunch of B.S. My enterochromaffin cells may just burst, I am often told. If only I could tell what was real from what was fake. For I also have A.D.H. - whoa! What's that?! Sorry, where was I? Oh. Tourettes Syndrome. I guess I just twitch it off. Maybe these are all figures of my imagination from the hallucinogens. Who knows? After all, I am a schizophrenic.

Monsters Inside Me
Come, my darling, let us dance To the moon that beckons us To dissolve our love in trance Heedless of the hideous Heat & hate of Sirius- Shun his baneful brilliance! Let us dance beneath the palm Moving in the moonlight, frond Wooing frond above the calm Of the ocean diamond Sparkling to the sky beyond The enchantment of our psalm. Let us dance, my mirror of Perfect passion won to peace, Let us dance, my treasure trove, On the marble terraces Carved in pallid embroeideries For the vestal veil of Love. Heaven awakes to encompass us, Hell awakes its jubilance In our hearts mysterious Marriage of the azure expanse, With the scarlet brilliance Of the Moon with Sirius. Velvet swatches our lissome limbs Languid lapped by sky & sea Soul through sense & spirit swims Through the pregnant porphyry Dome of lapiz-lazuli:- Heart of silence, hush our hymns. Come my darling; let us dance Through the golden galaxies Rhythmic swell of circumstance Beaming passion’s argosies: Ecstacy entwined with ease, Terrene joy transcending trance! Thou my scarlet concubine Draining heart’s blood to the lees To empurple those divine Lips with living luxuries Life importunate to appease Drought insatiable of wine! Tunis in the tremendous trance Rests from day’s incestuous Traffic with the radiance Of her sire-& over us Gleams the intoxicating glance Of the Moon & Sirius. Take the ardour of my impearled Essence that my shoulders seek To intensify the curled Candour of the eyes oblique, Eyes that see the seraphic sleek Lust bewitch the wanton world. Come, my love, my dove, & pour From thy cup the serpent wine Brimmed & breathless -secret store Of my crimson concubine Surfeit spirit in the shrine- Devil -Goddess ****** ***** Afric sands ensorcel us, Afric seas & skies entrance Velvet, lewd & luminous Night surveys our soul askance! Come my love, & let us dance To the Moon and Sirius!

****** desire
I wish you enough sun, to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough love, to keep your spirit alive. I wish enough rain, to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough strength, to open every door. I wish you enough loss, to show what you posses. I wish you enough happiness- so much you impress. I wish you enough pain, to intensify every joy. I wish you enough Hellos, for the final Goodbye.

I wish you Enough
My pain irks me, Sends me flying into my bed. Under the cover of darkness. As I cry myself awake, Unable to sleep. I ask myself.. Why? Why am I such a ***** up? Why do I make mistakes, Knowing my parents will be angry? My tears intensify, My claws take my skin, Leaving ****** marks... I scream in my head, Rocking to the beat of my music, That sings in my ear bud. Evanescence, Rascal Flatts. Plumb. Crossfade. I cannot find peace.. All I feel is that pain. That has ****** me over for, Five years. I'm only a teenager, I only can take so much. Until Its over. I've already tried once... What makes you think I'll try again? Dad, What makes you so ****** Taking it out on me, Because I don't listen? Why can't you and my step mom, Just realize.. That I'm only Seventeen.. And so it says, My title will always stay. Lone wolf forever.. I cant be perfect, It's just not my style. My life is so different, I cry even harder. Mistakes, Promises broken. Two faced liars.. God, Why aren't you here? I need you.. And I need you now.. As my pain intensifies, All I see is the cascading shadows. Watching my every move... My music doesn't help anymore..

Pain that Never Leaves
When the seed of enmity is sown… Shocked mind dawdles Anger takes its seat Startled brain malfunctions Germ of jealousy sets in Pained heart cries Hatred straps relations Interest fades away Vengeance creeps in Zeal dies away Cunningness takes its position Curiosity passes off Disillusionment walks in Passion loses identity Rivalry spoils relation Keenness to knowledge dwindles Harsh words have no wisdom Actions become meaningless Despair leads to madness… When the seed of love is scattered … Words gain wisdom Compassion binds the relation Spirit of pride looks up Actions have aim Friendship and brotherhood grows Zeal and passion intensify Progeny adds value to life Parentage gets importance. Everything around looks colorful Life becomes meaningful… So its for you and me to decide Which seed to be chosen …. Seed of enmity or love To make life worthy to live … **************************

The Two Seeds- Lakshmy.N
Kids trained as suicide assassins Being lead into a gas chamber Intensify the breathing Intensify the bleeding Sounds of poison floating through the air Flesh decaying from corpses As they feast upon the stars Children playing in the playgrounds Swimming in pools of their own blood Unknown slaves to the sun

Evening Anticipating a storm Gentle waves start to lick the shore White fluffy sands gradually moisten Harden from pressure Of liquid and stored summer’s heat Darker Waves intensify Ripping, tearing the shore Moving sands with the flood Flooding all In liquid and violent summer’s heat Rising Lifted by waves The shore is the sea is the shore Water has taken control Beaten the shore With liquid, climactic heat

Power
Will you stand with me at the water's edge? As my beats quicken and intensify Likened to the pounding of war drums Fuelling the skirmishes within As my lungs remain obstinate and insatiable Voraciously consuming every breath till they overlap... As if the abundant air wasn't enough As my mind races out in a million different directions Crestfallen thoughts layered upon angry ideals Violated principles versus tattered resolutions Will you stand with me at the water's edge? And watch me as I choose between extinguishing the raging fire that burns in my heart and mind Or drown.

Witness
I love to make him groan His soft sighs, his moan As my fingers trace the line down his chest Temporarily stoping just short, I let my hand rest As we passionately kiss, lips locked in a long embrace I kiss down his chin and follow the trail my fingers have traced Then every so gently I go down Making his eyes roll around It slowly intensify till his moans become liquid He caresses my head up and says "girl your gifted"

Making Him Moan
I always wanted to compose symphonies, But my hands and my head could never agree. I got the blue curse, because I always feel beats, But my fingers freeze up when I get to melo-DIEs. Recede. I want to live the nihilist's dream, Smoke packs a day to intensify screams. Maybe if I stare into the middle distance, After hours I would build up a tolerance to listen. IN THIS town, there are only 2 kinds of people Girls who pierce their NOSES and THOSE IN the steeple Walking down So. Auburn in bare feet and short shorts Catching the gleam from the street (of course), With their dreadlocks all up in auburn buns And their eyes shooting diamonds in the autumn sun. Bullet-belt vests draped lazily over their shoulders, With double-zero earrings and squirt-gun holsters. And the police-dogs and the SWAT cars are all powered by indulgence, The doctors are up to their elbows in cadavers by self-expulsion The men are splitting at the seams from over-eating obsessive compulsion And the shameful deception of upward inflection to change my direction and wind UP and the inanimate DUCKling with a large crank between its shoulders In the shape of a black key to the black energy that makes the cold rooms colder Is a disguise to the spoken word hurricanes brewing inside me. Set me to zero then make me the hero so physicists can derive me. If the sum of all forces is equal to mass times acceleration, Maybe the sum of world problems is equal to vanity times irritation. Jeans cutting up my legs, purpling due to lack of circulation Are developing holes, as well as the soles of my shoes, I'm growing impatient. The production slows to a halt, pouring salt into lacerations, And as boys grow into drunk daddies, women resort to migration. This country isn't democracy, just a ghastly and pale imitation, These people don't have representatives, only half-assed representations.

I sit on the rooftop of my home above the city traffic breezing through the stark streets, their shadowed tires playing various musical notes upon the glorious surface, swirling smoke from engines twisting and twirling in the rising air, the deep shifting sun wearing it’s majestic crown, gazing at the beautiful scenery glittering in its eyesight, my bright brown eyes staring at a mountain of lyrical content, a stunning sheet filled with blazing melodies, a magnificent instrument strumming its skills upon a drumming landscape, an amazing vocal pattern hip-hopping into a dominion of amplifying layers, each time changing into a collection of crystal clears, resurrecting a roaring sea of swagging infinities flying into future constellations, while suntanned trees swing a swift beat, rocking in outer worlds far from earth, marching leaves sinking in magical passion and dancing dreams, breathing in the eternal existence of tranquility, letting it seep inside their frames and intensify their minds, letting its philosophy of uncharted depths exhale a wave of genius creations, a glowing gem existing beyond Venus and Mars, further distant than any galaxies known to mankind.  As I sit on this creative platform of timeless brilliance, I can feel the echoing breeze whispering in my ears, its smooth monotone sounds stinging my soul,every essence of my being, igniting a fire spinning kingdom of raw and gritty poetry inside my heart.

Fire Spinning Kingdom
Love is defined as a feeling of warm personal attachment or affection. Personally, that definition pales in comparison to how I feel when I look into those capturing circles of chocolate. How I feel when I look at that beautiful smile that sets my heart, mind, and body ablaze. No, because I feel... I feel a range of emotions from this interpersonal connection to this deep entanglement. These feelings race through my heart, out both ventricles, through my arteries to deposit this tingling sensation throughout my body like a thousand fiery red ants scrambling up and down my interior. Is that how love feels? Is that simply just a feeling of personal attachment? Emotions flood my body and even deep beneath my rib cage, past those guarded brick walls.. These emotions intensify and I begin to feel this 'love' again. That's the art of love. Knowing that one day flowers can begin to grow in the darkest parts of you, knowing that rare ripples exist in this world that have the ability to create waves of radiance amidst gloomy waters. knowing that through the vehement sour thoughts of another being wrapped around you, I can still feel an interpersonal connection. You are the one thing that means absolutely anything, everything. I will run my fingers over every part of you, searching for the slightest crack and pour my love into each crevice of your shattered heart. I will love you recklessly (again), again, I'll risk loving you wholeheartedly. Is that the art of love? The beauty of infatuation? The allure of love is the desire to keep the memories tattooed to our brains, the desire to stitch ourselves together, even faster than we're tearing apart. It's not just a feeling of mere warmth. The art of love is knowing that when he leaves, the flowers will be plucked as well; knowing that this can happen and still refusing to let that stop you from pouring love into all disparate crevices despite the possibility of having a barren garden next week. It is choosing to knit us together when we appear to be crumbling at each seam. The beauty within love is the ability to incessantly feel even when it becomes too much. The art of love is the ability to love when even living becomes a difficulty. -jjss-
