This is to be read as you are the writer of intensity and the world is your audience!

In sheer terror my words escape
In grandeur bonding they merge
In wild abandonment they thrash about
Fine tuned they glide on breathless skies

I throw the seeds to the winds of the mind
In special arrangement they fall
A music called verse ringing true inside
Planting ideas of inspiration for all

Am I so special that my words mean more?
That the fantastic resources within a readers soul
Never for it is for the reader to inspire me
Into the new heights of endless thought patterns

A garden is nurtured, gloomed never to be the same
Poems are to be pondered with readers of different faces
With so many mood swings the words change season
But still storm out in gentle understanding

Sometimes pure division of an audience will adhere to the words
Yet at times the focal point is crystal clear in a poetic masterpiece
Yet the masters float between the two as if fine wine
Intoxicating the reader to a inner universe of emotions
While sobering in the dynamic stimulus of nature’s performance

The uncertainty of the receiver tends to create tremendous anxiety
Wrapping you up in the knots of your own uncertainty
But as you see the people light up
You unwind your intensity
Spreading wings like peacocks
Until the terror of another word escapes
To be captured in depth later

... Fantastic start and I love the link between this verse (The speaking) and this ...
'Sometimes pure division of an audience will adhere to the words

...(The listening) . The natural discriptive imagery you use is fantastic... I liked the way you kept coming back to the turmoil and storm idea .
Loved it . L.of.L. Tom .
