Look into your mind and soul – #Poetry #Giveaway #GuestBlog

 

Lisabet: Greetings, Intensia. Welcome to Beyond Romance!

How did you get started writing poetry and songs? Why do you continue?

Intensia:

Thank you so much for having me and for this thoughtful question.

I must have been about six years old when I realized that music and writing would become something very important to me. It all began with a blue radio double cassette recorder I was gifted with. That device instantly fascinated me. From the moment I received it, I would spend countless hours listening to music, recording my voice, and creating melodies of my own. At that point, I did not really know or even realize that this was actually a job, and part of what songwriters do. But what I truly and deeply felt was a sensation of comfort, calmness, freedom and joy that I had never experienced before.

In elementary school, I started writing little poems, and in middle school I began singing in a choir. From then on, I never stopped exploring my crafts and encouraging others to discover and nurture their artistic side. I’m, among others, an officially recognized vocational teacher in Germany, guiding aspiring singers and songwriters on their path to professional artistry, as well as an award-winning vocal coach.

I write and sing poetic pop songs that feel like after a meaningful conversation with a good friend. Songs to inspire, connect, and entertain. Lines that linger a little longer and carry emotional weight, created also for the deep feelers, the intense ones, the passionate thinkers, the curious minds, the heartfelt souls, the kindred spirits who read every line carefully and let it become a part of them. The lovely, sensitive people who think they are too much, feel too much, muse too much.

Life inspires me and emotions drive me to always go further, to support and give my best through music, to evoke something in my fans, the lovely people in my community.

This award-winning book is an introduction to my art and journey. You are warmly invited to join me on Substack for this creative unfolding adventure. Completing the lyric fragments and turning them into full songs to stream at a soulful and deliberate pace, one track at a time.

Excerpt

S T A I R C A S E

I saw red while you held my hand

on that hill in a castle of sand

being nice, coming out of the blue

you were losing me, undeniably true

I was just another trophy for your shelf

overloaded by the further rusty twelve

Dissociating from this charming place

you are a mess inside, I know it’s the case

this romance had better leave no trace

but at sunset we sat here on the staircase

THE HIGHER THE STAIRCASE, THE CLEARER THE VIEW.
