Sentiments of Intensities

Sentiments of intensity are profound
they are the raison d'être of existence,
of all that is good in life and beyond,
 
Ask even those untutored in metaphysics,
governance or philosophy and
they will tell you all that there is to know
 
About eternity, intensity and
all those profound emotions
that people have given their lives for,
 
Intensities make things happen,
create the wonder, the magic, the mesmerism,
but leave you enervated, half-dead.
