"initiated" poems
I'm craving a man-hug tonight, initiated by strong arms picking up my under weight body letting me believe I'm re-enacting the lift from ***** dancing. And as those arms hold me close I would bury my face in his neck where after shave meets his soft pulse and the warmth of my breath. This hug would be so tight, tight enough to squeeze the pain out of my soul and be incredibly protective at the same time beating away the nightmares of reality late at night. A hug that draws out all the tears that should have been cried until my eyes run dry and start shedding all the rejection accumulated throughout this plight. An unconditional man-hug with its ends free, one not subjected to a **** in my mouth a cigarette ***** a cigarette couple of poems insomnia and a cold bed. I crave for a man-hug that will liberate me from the pathetic standards I've set for myself, of how I should be treated before handing a piece of me in exchange. One that would numb the little voice in my head which goes on and on about self-deprecating ******** bundling together all the mistakes made over the years and spanking my self-confidence until it dresses up in a short skirt and high heels and runs into the arms of a narcissist ***** A man-hug to step in and save the day when loneliness breaks in, and murders empowerment, independence and positivity in their sleep, then opens the door to insecurity and fear, who robs all hope, leaving behind intolerable darkness. I crave for a man-hug that follows through to the end with stability and consistency, like mom's cooking or my best friend, or daddy's instant reaction to defend. One that's tangible and attainable without twirling my fingers around forgotten jewellery, phone messages or a drunk memory just to remind myself what it felt like, but only to be reminded that it can never be felt again. Though I'm craving a man-hug tonight I will have no luck. Because anything with "man" in front of it, will always just be a ****

Found myself at a dental clinic... He was the best there was. Unorthodox and eccentric, But to the specialised craft, he was boss. Ran through the bits and bobs Like any normally would. The poking and prodding and the mandible X-rays. Everything cold and clinical, so was the mood. Strange was what happened next... Specialist and I then stood facing each other. He leaned close and pressed his palms against my rib cage. Held them there over a few breaths before it was over. Then a brief chat, small talk initiated by the man. Bespectacled and exceedingly chatty, small in stature. Talks of politics and odd human behaviours... What started off as friendly turned into a heated banter. I then realised that along with his decorated credentials, Was his propensity to be condescending and arrogant. Him being the best, I thought I could let it all slide, But soon enough I opted out of being a willing participant. Couldn't stand his abrasive cockiness! I snapped out of being cordial and passive thought. I wanted him to just stop talking! I went, "Well, are you going to fix my teeth or not?!" He was stunned momentarily... I suppose he hadn't seen that coming. Then his features softened to a blank I could almost read the unspoken words he was conjuring. With an exasperated sigh of resignation, He uttered his next words swollen with regret "There's no need...for you only have four years left." It dawned upon me that my timer has been set. And then I woke up...

Strange Dream
A Jersey girl came along and I started to think about angles of yaw needed to take flight, how the force of a kick skirts the delicate line between winning and losing. I’ve seen it all before, but not like this. Besides, seeing has nothing to do with believing. Corneas can't capture the vibrations of molecules or excitations of electrons. Champions defy biology, overcome gravity and I believe what goes up does not always come down. I want to know the point where focus takes control of epinephrine, who’s cascade is initiated by the roar of a crowd, but negatively regulated by doubt, when to take a long shot or build up slowly. I want to live the difference between accuracy and precision, taste the dirt, become painted with bruises and scorch my heart. A flag is heaviest when you carry it, lightest when it’s raised, worn as a cape and allowed to wave in the wind. Countries aren't build, they're created created denying muscles oxygen but allowing them to taste gold. It's ability to conduct electricity astounds me. It’s not about alchemy but transforming sweat into tears, fixing nitrogen, reducing triglycerides. Not all reactions need light, some create it. It’s only over when there’s not enough energy for activation.

Schrader (Breaking Bad)
Adulthood is never initiated on a birthday, the obligation to pay the bills, or even the freedom to eat those two desserts, but rather when you realize that childhood has been terminated—the stage where you sigh and suppose that magic was just an illusion when you finally see how the real world operates.

Adulthood
What is this wall That keeps us in Over each other, we trip; we fall We are like fish with no fins Head on we crash With fists we beat We hack and we slash Screaming, kicking with invisible feet Blocked we remain Let us flow Us you can't contain Let us go Strengthened with aggregate But held back by concrete Cerebral wall with no gate We're packed with angry grit You know we're here You feel us roiling You hear us clear Boiling and brewing We understand the reason You deem it necessary Thinking it would lessen Subdue the rage and fury Your illusion of control Of us, you'd pick the best Surely you're taking the toll Of being nothing but suppressed All of us, we are you We make you what you are From the subtlest cue To the high achieving star We are many but we are one Your thoughts and emotions We are your loaded gun We're the answer to false pretensions You can't have us dammed We've initiated a coup No...we'll not be ****** Too late...we've broken through

Dammed
You'll be initiated, when you are ready. Life knows, and the initiation rites are waiting. Where you are holding, you will be broken. Where you've lost heart, you will be shaken. Where you are careless, you'll meet your neglect. What you are averse to, will be total and stark. What you are attached to, will be pried from your grips. Ignorance will be wrought with vision, a burning, to make you see. You are loved so much that you will be engulfed in the flames of loves fire, in order to ignite your own hearts flames, and fulfill loves destiny. Alchemical change will ensue, destroying you, to make way for new love. Licked by some Hellish ordeal, Ambivalence gives way to Engagement, Rage engenders Clarity, Anxiety becomes Inspiration, Apathy roars into Feeling, Melancholy imbues it's Depth, Licked by some Heavenly delight. Phoenixed, you'll fly, the hero of your own journey, wielding revelatory fire, with great Wisdom and Compassion, a Gestalt, anew. The circle closes, it is a spiral, to the beginning, of another Circle.

Initiation
Midsummer flutters in on butterfly wings. Softly landing on the corolla leading to the petals. Slow motion has been initiated by summer, people, air, insects and life has slowed. Summer doesn't rush, summer doesn't push. Summer lazes in a haze of shimmering heat. Only tempers get short during long summer nights. Humid hate filled anger disrupts the slow tempo, only to quickly dampen in the humid stultifying night heat. Honeysuckle, jasmine, water lilies and evening primrose, come out and soothe the moonlit summer night. A breeze rises and soothes the weary mind. Summer night blooms, in more ways than one, moonlight shimmers like gossamer threads down onto the flower beds, the flower's fragrance fills the air, soothing, calming, softly, sweetly filling summertime with cruel kindness. Cruelty of heat the kindness of sweet flowers.

The leopard and the lion chose to become friends, For they were all proud of claws on their paws They each glorified one another for their mighty, Ability to live on meat of other fauna throughout a year, They each admired one another for running speed, They each remained firm and loyal to one rule; Lions don’t eat leopards neither leopards eat lions. They felt warmth in their companionship without verve, Until the time they initiated a certain joint venture; To hunt an antelope as it was famed to be the sweetest, Again, there had remained one antelope only in the world, They dilly and not dallied anyhow about such glittering project, They both endevoured to set forth by each dawn for a whole year, Tediously hunting throughout a day, the lion doing a great part, Setting ambuscades and arduously sleuthing to orient on trail, The leopard severally fainted in the field due to exhaustion, On one eve of christmas day, the lion captured the prey, When the leopard was a sleep shivering in fevers of malaria, Their prey was a middle aged female antelope with swollen hips. The leopard was sparked to fire of life by a mysterious fillip, He boldly requested work, now to help the lion in carrying, The un-suspecting lion relinquished the carcass to the leopard, Feat of shrewdness gripped the leopard, he took off Running away with a lightening speed, the antelope on his mouth, The lion again began to chase, shouting to the leopard, To be a gentleman and stop running, for them to share the plunder, The leopard never listened, he craftily climbed to the apex, Of the most tall and most slippery tree, he perched at the peak With the antelope on his muscular mandibles of voracity, The lion remained at the stem, wailing like a toddler His family does not climb trees, not even a shrub, The lion wailed, using all styles of wailing, Pleading with the leopard to donate even an iota, Not even a small piece of antelope bone dropped To drop on the ground for the lion to taste, Human leopards are not good hunting companions.

Matt. British gent to British ***** You became insecure, moody, obsessive and possessive And that doesn't give you the excuse to abuse. It’s over. Norman. Male twin to turned twin. You became my best friend so easily, come boyfriend Then you broke up with me for my brother. It’s over. Ryan. Sweet guy to skaterboi. I don’t even know why we dated, Probably because we left people who abused us. It’s over. Noel. Romantic to heart-frantic. You chose that nasty ex over me, and she only hurt you. I've never came so close to fighting a girl in school. It’s over. Morgan. Cuban fling to cutie far away. I realize we were both drunk, but you initiated the kiss And you weren't too bad at it, for a girl… but you’re in Ontario. It’s over.

Girlie Stuff
It's three in the morning The mourning hour. The hour where naught is awake but Lovers and dreamers And those deemed too far gone by the rest of us; To whom we send a wilting flower. It's three in the morning The mourning hour. Here I mourn the loss of life When I took a sterile sword to my own heart And peered into the gaping, gaping void Dissolving away the ghost that haunts my hollow tower. It's three in the morning The mourning hour. I mourn the incursion that initiated it Mourn a life I have known so well As well as a life I think I shall not meet Tied, side by side, in a waking melancholy sour. It's three in the morning The mourning hour. Doves less mournful than I have passed on to sleep And he is, as I dream, forming faster each day Only now, in death, so dear to me And I reach out, into the darkness of the night And end the mourning hour.

warped, weird, whirling, wonder-filled, a garland of words eulogized by occidental cosmologists today to deify the milky way for five millennia, in clandestine chambers of the temple of the lord with a lotus navel, oriental sages, finely tuned into ultimate mantras of the cosmos, initiated ‘twice born’ namboodris of kerala into a mellifluous sanskrit verse.... a potent heart melting hymn where our star-studded galaxy, milky in complexion, is seen as a spinning jagged-edged discus, worn as an ornamental ring around vishnu’s slender index finger, from whose whirling lotus navel originate the birth of inseparable twins: warped space intertwined with flowing time now this is a garland of exquisite beauty! © 2019

Everyday I try SO hard to talk to you People say you're very busy People say you're studying People say you're tired Yes i accept all that I use ellipsis Maybe you will try to guess how i am feeling but I guess i am wrong I tried an ENTIRE month Messaged you Tried to make you laugh It continued for that moment Then it just Vanished Simply vanished into the clear blue sky I really just hope One day You will take the initiative to maybe, talk to me Is that really too much to ask for? After i have initiated the conversation for an entire month? I really don't know I really want to keep up this friendship We won't be in the same class And i have this feeling This dangerous feeling Feeling that if i don't salvage this friendship Now then it will just die and rot like a log

the first time we kissed you initiated it you were nervous (i think) and i.. i wanted you. so badly to hold your hand to feel your heart beat to touch your lips with mine i hadnt kissed anyone in over 6 months i lost count; a blur of lips and tastes, and people who never even mattered even then in a fruitless attempt to find a pair that rivaled yours about a month ago, you reappeared the second time we kissed (after about 2 yrs) i initiated it and. it. was. wonderful. in the morning you asked if you could kiss me again anytime soon if it was alright what i said was yes but what i meant was in the second kiss i realized yours are the only lips i could ever want for the rest of forever

I'm sorry I treated you like the groupie I've never had. The things I said in haste The anti-promises made Wipe the stars from your eyes I was more like a black hole Imploding your soul I ****** up your heart And got your hopes up I saw your dreams as meant to be taken advantage of Little miss broken Mind if I muse you? to abuse your beauty and exploit your insides for the sake of poetry I could blame it on Goddess oppression, My misogynistic intentions deep rooted by living vicariously through an idea of a rockstar Burnt out before I'm initiated in the 27 club Black holes still in your personality I can't just tell you I was scraping the bottom of the barrel Trying to keep the void filled with inspiration In desperation We both ended up occupying insides caught in a euphoric tide That oxytocin's a helluva drug at least for it's half-life We both came crashing right/write where I intended Reincarnated, by the words I've mended

Mind if I (m)use You?
From the moment the tale of her ruin made itself known, mankind has coveted proof of her existence. Many a curious hand has stalked across the glossy veins of maps and the cracked vertebrae of books enclosing information most pivotal to her secret whereabouts and the tragic evanescence that initiated her exile. Many a sailor explorer scientist poet have perished among the gnashing jaws of the sea in their pursuit of the glory her exploitation would surely bring.   In response to such grievances-- the reality of losing oneself in the midst of searching for what has already been lost-- imagination-- the belief in magic, in the seemingly unbelievable-- was outlawed within the human psyche; now, they say she is merely a madman's legend, a myth concocted by Plato so as to warn against the perils of greed. But never did they consider that perhaps she did not want to be found to begin with, that her seclusion has always been a necessity so as not to repeat the monstrosities of the past-- so she should not resurface to satiate their earthly desires only so she can be drowned anew. {Atlantic}

Instinct becomes arbitrary when my willpower deters my integrity Aspirations are mere illusion when my intuition exceeds my ailing grasp A *********** creep of disintegrating fantasies releases a sense of realism. Nicotine surfs my limbs as thoughts align with tectonic disasters. Malice masks insinuating balance, An inevitable roar of discontent prefaces A cruising tune of initiated indifference yet hope

yet hope
With baptism, one identifies with The Christ, mirroring His death, burial and resurrection; in this symbolic gesture of Faith, one sees a formal acknowledgment of His gift of Salvation. This practice, instituted by John the Baptist, teaches one to reflect on the sacred sacrifice- that Christ -alone- redeemed all of Humanity and that His unequaled actions will suffice as the second Adam, for our enduring redemption. Even Christ Himself, took this symbolic plunge. Was this a mere watery dunking of His flesh? Or did it prepare Him… to be able to expunge the death penalty of sin for us permanently? Therefore, I honor His act of propitiation- by the baptism of my body before witnesses, as I’m initiated today… into His Holy Nation. . . .

Poem: Baptism
I can't seem to tell If you're expressing undercover Or if you're really that ignorant. How adorable Watching a pretty girl lie, ******* denial at the teeth. If I remember correctly When you were really under covers I held your gaze. Maybe you forgot The way you held me close Yet never close enough. Or the way you kissed back With such a passion That YOU initiated in the first place. Take back then your words Of how okay you felt for the first time in forever. Take back the desire you craved And still do from time to time In order to keep to your word now. Sorry sweetheart You choose your own destiny And I stopped playing your games long ago. You made your decision to hide yourself To deny how much you cared And gave up your chance for the last time. So I bid you a good night And a fair life Where our memories won't haunt you anymore. And you can forget about my existence I'll make it easy for you now You've clearly made your choice.

a potion maker,   seeking the formulae of the combination of the known and the none, the wizard’s ideation of the secret spark of creation, the starter fire of human destiny & desire who needs gold, when, the power of birth, the mystery of girth the fluids of oils, plus 57 varieties of human blood, in a precise tabulation the sap of human cell constructs, heated gentle on a low flame, do not forget, or regret if the salt & pepper of discernment is overlooked, the sighs, *the quiet of boredom, the leveling moments when creation is initiated* and then my heart can be known to some, even careful read between the lines ~ the lines on my eyes, the cross hatch upon a forehead, the crinkles where time and laughter intersected and injected *the whites spaces between these words* enough enigma… never!
