Exquisite Unique Become what you seek What is complete? How deep is your deep? Experience each moment You've earned it own it Fractal Vibrations one component Love comes from the soul Penetrate fills hatreds holes Twisting time with rhythmic rhyme Reading signs put in these lines Witness all the mental smoke Instigator stab and poke Give it all till I'm broke Passion hitting in one big stroke Time to come alive Elevate each other we'll thrive More than survive Unknown we can dive Vibrate till I turn to dust Never taste the center eat my crust In rhymes I trust..so full I bust Flow so fluid I'll never rust Now I can be flashy..tell a tale Not a one hundred percent sometimes I fail Pierce my heart with a rusty nail Darkness takes over but love prevails Imagination stretch..memorize every turn Set fire to your mind feel the burn Knowledge from pain is how we learn Balance will reward you with what you earn Wisdom doesn't flow from all that speak Truths are hidden which is why we seek We all must climb to reach your peak Creates who we are..Exquisite...Unique!!

Exquisite..Unique
Silly, silly, silly me. To think I'm free, and that I'll be somebody? Silly, silly, silly me. You can't be free, and that's just it, All you are is 'somebody.' Some-body. "Some body." But that's not true! Look at Trostky and Lenin, Michael Myers and Lennon, The other Lennon. It's hard to differentiate in name and legacy, Because both Lennon's were revolutionaries, Marching around like the freshman from heaven. But neither believed they were the result of divine intervention in the affairs of man, Because this convention would threaten their worldview and beckon away their sanity... In the same way that the Pope or ****** let their divine vanity commit greater blasphemy and bring them future agony. Now neither Lennon nor Lenin came anywhere close to being men from Galilee, In fact they were more the men of the galaxy, Or at least, John was, with his peach fuzz beard and his belief that love is greater than fear. The other Lenin implemented the New Economic Policy, to starve the proletariat and start his revolution on an already hypocritical trend that would continue quite the same until the very end. And it proves something, does it not? Violence sends a message to no one but the instigator, Changing them to justify, and claim is wasn't misbehavior; But that's a lie, no idea of mine is worth the death of a human mind, And to pretend otherwise makes one delude themselves that they aren't an instigator, but an illustrator, Painting in the blood as if ****** makes an innovator. And for ****** there is no vindicator, Violence is an image breaker, Indulged in by poor imitators who think they're right, and the world is wrong. Unaware this makes them weak, not strong. Now John Lennon was the true revolutionary; Although he succumbed to violence, he veered away from it, even when it was necessary. He fought the war, and yes, the war did win, But at least he didn't cover his scars with artificial skin, Or deny his implicit wrongs as a result of all original sin. John Lennon used the word 'nigger' to the opposite effect. He used the word to trigger something bigger and correct, The wrong that seemed so propagated by the last colonial tide, Of which the other Lenin defected and took colonialism's side. John Lennon was Utopian and told us of a better world; He interjected definition, and caused old thoughts to curl away in fright, And bite the dust despite their might and past dominion of industrialism, It was a schism, and it still plagues us to this day. John Lennon understood we over-complicate way To Often. Silly, silly, silly me. To think I'm free, and that I'll be somebody? Silly, silly, silly me. You can't be free, and that's just it, All you are is 'somebody.' Some-body. "Some body." "Some body" is something, And some body can change the world.

I’m done with blindly Accepting all of your lies, **** faith, earn it! I’m shredding your books. Prove me wrong when I say That you’ve never helped anyone. Fix a ******* problem, Instead of making more. So far all you’ve been Is an object of war, hate, and bigotry. Stand for love, Like you claim. Stand for love, Or get the **** out. I’m done blindly Accepting all of your lies, **** faith, earn it! When you get on your knees, And beg for forgiveness, Remember you’re the only one Who can fix it so Put those clasped hands to work. Get up and do something, Instead of praying for it. Don’t thank God for What’ve you accomplished With your blood, sweat, and tears, Thank yourself for hard work, And party with the devil. I’m done with blindly Accepting all of your lies, **** faith, earn it! Remember when you say That you’ll keep me In your prayers, That I’ll think of you Every time I watch the news And see people dying and killing For their imaginary friend. I’m not making the Leap of faith for A jealous god, Or for an instigator Of hate, war, and bigotry. I’m done with blindly Accepting all of your lies, **** faith, you don’t even deserve it!

An emotion that sprouts, a fabulous creation Defines the intuition, instigator of doubts It is ruler and ruled by It's strength is as great as the boundaries set A powerful gift, a dangerous one Bestowed upon, marks of nature It is inside, it will come back

Identity
Lately, all the darlings have started tasting the same and all the books keep preaching about the catharsis of going forward and I'll not be condemned to be Lot's wife's' tragedy but ******* this is growing up and everything is shrinking like the bible my mother threw in the washing machine by accident. All the wild has gone to my fingertips and there is no longer an energy to board trains to god-knows where because I know better now. I don't longer miss you and I call my father daily now and I have a fond appreciation for dead things. Sometimes I think of all the times I prayed and all the times I sinned with you in mind and I know this is the guilt of poets. We are the victim and the instigator, we play our cards right and you resent us for it. And I write to you because it's easy to say things to people you hate. Like kissing someone and not tasting their blood but someone else's and enjoying it. Revenge in, not one, but all the ways you know how. I often dance naked to Claire de Lune, do you know why? There's an elegance to being primordial and vulnerable. There's grace in things we find obscene. I cannot dance, mind you but I dance thinking you're watching. Much like shaking the hand of  a married man and lingering with his wife within earshot, there's a thrill knowing you'll be caught. Thus, I write my inhibitions and fears in poetry hoping you'll someday read them with absolute stoicism. I dare you to show a little emotion. I dare you.

Natural Born Instigator
Mental pollution hides the solutions We imprison each other and create institutions Really? You think that is the answer? You are probably wondering why there is no cure for cancer We are stuck...and the situation ***** Political systems will always become corrupt How many times do we have to see it in history? Failing over and over again there is no mystery I'm sorry if I get you riled up This is for the thirsty go and grab your cup How will we do it? Where do we start? I'm an instigator I've done my part.. TOGETHER Our bonds can't be severed It is a journey which will long be endeavored Can you feel it? It has just begun, The roads have opened up go ahead choose one I take them all Cause I know my destination Which is why I push and poke at every Nation For now... That is my time.. I will be back.. I hope my message stays in your mind No limit to as high as we can climb Can you feel it? Let it begin Answers to our questions lie deep within....

Mental Pollution
I’ve got fifteen years tied in knots of green and brown and I have decided that it is time for a change of scenery. So I climb onto the roof and pretend I am a chimney, spewing smoke of blue and grey and lung cancer and voggy Hilo mornings. A helicopter circles overhead at an altitude of 805 feet, its searchlight catching the neighborhood lying spread-eagled on the living room floor, brutally desecrated and left bare-bones to die. I am a catalyst, an instigator, a cynic with a palm tree. Today I read an atlas and find naught but “A Hui Hou” scrawled across the pages in black pen. I burn the book, the bridge, and the old tires in the backyard. On Saturday it rained and the floodwaters took my bicycle. Sometimes I sit by the roadside reading Bukowski with hibiscus in my hair and Indiana in my eyes. Hunting dogs clash with rescue dogs at the house with the stop sign. The moon falls from the sky and engulfs the mynah birds and the plague. The floodwaters recede and leave a jigsaw puzzle on the slopes of Mauna Kea. “I am not afraid,” I say, “for I am only gravel.” I play the eight-bar blues on Fortieth and sing songs of drugs and missed connections. I am hit by a truck and a little gold car, but I proclaim myself immortal as I am flattened to the pavement. I am the Ki’i Pohaku beatnik, and I write of nature and nurture and the never-ending rain. Someone has painted my walls blue and my hands grey. So I pack my suitcase and run down the highway for seven thousand miles and all I see are mistakenly-numbered houses and blank maps and dead neighbors from families I used to know. There are torrents of rain now, forming puddles in the forest. I know the reason. It is twelve in the morning. The neighborhood grows obscure. We are demolished.

My vision was blurred And your voice was only a distant echo. I tried to reply, but my words were slurred So all you heard was a garbled mess. You said that I was "too difficult" As my throat clenched, holding back ***** You turned, claiming it wasn't my fault, But as I stumbled after you, I knew it was. My mind was slow, fuzzy, as I tried to recall All the times you carried me home. All the times I was too far gone to walk steadily. And I realized suddenly that I'd been a burden. That you resented me for those times I needed you. But I also remembered how hurtful you were, How you tormented me, controlled me. I cried myself to sleep all alone that night. I woke up with a headache, still sick about losing you. But I gathered myself and thought for a long while. I may have been a burden, but you were an instigator. You never gave me the love I deserved for loving you. I can let you go now, for I believe the end of us was your fault, your mistake; I was only under the influence of heartbreak.

Under the Influence
Remember? The beginning, there was only darkness, right? How could he? He disturbed a still void, vacuum of light. Perverted instigator. Life was a weakness absent. The bible. Kama Sutra for how to twist our soft minds.

The Primeval Void (3/4/7 Challenge)
As we hold our tongues in our heads, like nuclear threats, we are sure that those three words, that simple three word voice command, will be the end of us both, in a beautiful bloodbath, *** like war. Two entities struggling for power and satisfaction, an atomic blast that is sounded with a sigh and an arch. The aftermath, sheer destruction, nothing anymore dominant than the next, everything melting into itself and one another. An overwhelming lump of calm and submission. A skirmish for primitive power and oneself. The treaty of two bodies, silent, secretly sweet, and sullen. A whitewash of disdain where passion had just been. *** like War Anger is an Aphrodisiac Hate is fuel for Passion Love is and Instigator We couldn't hate enough to love.

*** Like War
Father, You know what each day brings, You know my thoughts before I think; can you hear my heart? It sings! my joy is filled, up to the brink. I praise Your name with much thanksgiving, for the sunshine of each day; for the graciousness of living, to follow God's sweet, wondrous way. All the beauty, stems from Your mind, all of the world's great, vast array; all humans of a varied kind, at work, at leisure and at play. Give me wisdom and compassion, to seek out the best of You; fill me now, with love and passion, make me Yours, before You're through. I acknowledge my Creator, I am blessed, because of Him; keep from the instigator, who incites the thoughts of sin. Give me peace and understanding, give me shelter from each storm; give me insight in my planning, by Your fire, keep me warm.

Praise poem
I am the instigator. I ruin things. I ruin everything. "Some people just want to watch the world burn." Well, I am the fire-starter. Sit back and enjoy the art this burning world I made. I tore it to the ground. And just like that- up in flames. And out of these ruins comes something beautiful, like a phoenix. A fresh start. Beauty born from ugliness. I never knew this would happen when I struck the match. It was just luck. There is hope for the broken to be fixed. The regretful to redeem. I was shown I can be a better person with sulfur. It was all a mistake. It's always a mistake. But from those mistakes is fashioned a lesson a learning a new beginning. I am better than the last me.

Society has a way of incriminating blocking phases to known expectactions Just because you don’t get attention doesn’t mean that you are a shallow being Never try to change your uniqueness or fit in with what is superficial just because you can’t gain the scores doesn’t mean that you cannot be popular Never question your lonely hearted self or unfix your oneness and imperfections Just because you are an instigator doesn’t mean that you are a **** loser Society has a way of discriminating Cascading one to a caskets of scenes Just because you are single and alone doesn’t mean that you are unattractive

No love. You didn't believe in expressing your feelings plainly, till you were crying vulgarities into someone's chest. A strange cliche became something to accept, ordinarily. "How the trip never stops", MC Ride is screaming, "On and on, it's beyond insane." Drowning out your thoughts was something you only heard in music, or something your ex said back in high school, until you fell asleep with headphones and sunglasses on blaring Death Grips. "Choose this life, you're on your own." "I never asked to be a hero" Hanging your Moon Knight collection on your walls; Cried to words written on a page for the first time. You need to be loved by everyone, and want to be loved by no one. Understood the pressure and wrote every day, wrote to be not the best, but just to return from your fall from grace, to former glory. "I never asked to be a hero, but I beg you; Make me a hero again." "Sono Teido?" = "Is that all you got?" Studying frame data, unable to sleep. Thought you had a calling, but you gave up. Realized a hobby is only as good as it keeps you busy from all the ******** you could be thinking of. Good ******** to keep out the bad. Chun-Li leaves her opponent with wise advice; "Tameraibe Make yo" = "Hesitate and you will lose." All you have to do is shine and be bright, you'll be the type they want to take home. However, angels didn't want me when I was young, and they still observe for seconds at a time. You press your palms into your eyes; They pick you up for only a moment. Didn't believe you could be heart broken. Then they dropped you. Came back from the dead without prayers. Found your armor didn't make you a knight, it made you a villain of the highest order. Spoke in curses and sang a hex, to banish your love to hell forever. "I was a God, Valera", Doctor Doom spoke, "I found it beneath me." Found it after the fact. Three too many voices in your head; Prodigal Son, Nihilist Prophet, Feminist Instigator. Few believe so hard in something they've tried to erase. Tried to **** to smother, to maim, and finally, to nurture. To give up, to recover, to come back, and decide you still believe. You couldn't make anything happen with no love.

Like puppets dancing on strings Are Presidents and princes Prime Ministers and politicians And the tune they dance to Is older than their kingdoms Behold the King of this world Hidden away from the public eye Yet commanding nations with a whisper He was glorious and beautiful once And he walked among the innocent But, in one moment of vanity He stole rulership of the world His personality is stamped upon mankind For he sets the pace While most men follow He spoke the first lies Inflicted the first casualty And he has never felt regret Has never shed a tear Though his wars have taken millions And his devotees have enslaved nations He is the author of confusion The instigator of Hellfire and hatred The creator of trinities and tribulation He accuses you and I of cowardice and selfishness Yet is himself running scared And clinging to power and life He is the excuser of unholy child abusers And the inspiration of Jihadist bombs He speaks lies about the innocent And glorifies the guilty He hunts all good men As a lion hunts the deer He will tear at your throat And consume you He is the Resistor The Slanderer He cajoles those who consider his existence And paints himself in mythical proportions He would destroy the earth rather than surrender it Would rather ruin if he cannot rule Yet the whole world is in his hands But not forever Because forever does not belong to him And not life For the gift of life is not his to give

The King of The World
It’s been two years since I first met You, and one year since I wrote to You. Oh, my, how You’ve made me grow. The toughest year I’ve seen has passed. I suffered for months and questioned a lot— I knew You had a plan, but I must follow through. On the darkest night I gathered the little I had and drank Your unblessed blood as I wrote. Unsure of what was said, I went to bed, and in the morning I found written gold. The words, though, were not my own— even more unknown was the character transcribed. The path was now set to leave the forest, the same unruly garden Your last blessed poet journeyed from successfully so many years ago, with my own Beatrice as my glorious guide. But my Beatrice has plans of her own, as both a Muse and developmental instigator. She holds my hand as we walk off cliffs knowing full well that I cannot fly. I tried to learn the follies of Lust and alone its intricacies eluded me; but she showed me in an instant  that what we want can wait, the good-willed Lust, the puzzle piece, and missing link. From here I can move on again, slowly recovering. Each new dream sets the stage of life’s chapters, to convey the ideas I want all to know, and to remember the power one wields with a pen.

Your Pen Has Written Me Here
You are poking at my sore spots Causing them to redden and swell Leaving bruises upon ego Due to show-and-tell Tear at my facade Standing there in victory Watching as I fall down Laughing while I scramble frantically I'm screaming at you to stop In an angry fog Still love you even full of rage When you won't say you're wrong Arms sternly crossed, grow furrowed Somehow caused me to react Trapped within the spotlight Wanting to exit your "concerned" act Maybe I am just bitter because You pretend like you care But really take pleasure in Exposing secrets stripped bare It kills my pride to be embarrassed Here you are mocking Use my pain for satisfaction False statements I try blocking Your voice relentlessly cutting through Dripping mean drops of bitter defeat Eyes filled to the brim with resentment The reason I flee on my feet Although you are talking out of your *** I know you don't intend any harm You just love spreading propaganda Masking wickedness with charm Some opinions best left unspoken Truth lies in your voice You don't care enough to sort it out Collect bits of conversation, share It, rejoice Am I too sensitive, moody, and soft? Experience should have made me strong Losses only thinned armor Eroded by countless decisions wrong Caught in an infinite power struggle You fight logic with exaggeration I've surrendered, white flag waved A soldier of your own creation Go stir the *** again That taunting tone I hate I love you mom, tell me why You have to instigate

Who do you think you are? Digging through the rubble of history Rearranging it to make YOU look like the innocent one Who do you think you are? Stringing together venomous lies Twisting the truth to spearhead your crusade of destruction Who do you think you are? Playing the innocent, wronged victim When we all know you’re the malicious instigator Who do you think you are? Hiding behind a honey mask When we all know it is not sweet, but sickly What gave you the right? To walk into my life To unravel the our hearts Mould your self into it And then pick way at the joints With your malevolent thoughts And walk away acting like the martyr Acting like the innocent victim And then worm your way back into there Because their hearts were like Flubber Willing malleably for your Kruger fingers Ready to rip us all to shreds Just who the hell do you think you are?

Who do you think you are?
i write poetry from the collective, that resides within my mind they gather often, at the water cooler or for coffee, tea and a bit of a natter.. all my idio's and syncranicities my ego, and my shy shuffling humble-bumbler the flambouyant quirke, the little girl memories all get the memo and out they come. earth mother, surfer chick,   daughter of despair, moderator, instigator, wanna-be litigator acerberic premenstrual ditzbitch, all represented there. so in the end, what you get to see; are the minutes from the meetings, or the gossip from the gatherings the intimate murmurings... from the musings. of the legion, that ... collectively call themsevles me.

Oh Great American Pioneers Is there nothing more we hunger to discover? Is there no longer a thrill to explore, unravel, or seek? What happened to the inclination of chasing curious mysteries in the ubiquitous abyss Revealing uncharted geography Tasting foreign experiences Lost in fecund meandering Our puzzles cannot possibly be complete There will always be an abundance of missing pieces So set out and search for these conundrums Break free from the mainstream recluse state of defeat Or be content with T.V. dinners and two hour showers Dreaming about what you could have been I loathe this monotonous behavior Stop being an unconscious participator Escape your hostage environment Become the instigator The death of the pioneer is what I mourn The dead American dream is how I was born

Small, medium, and large men face adversity. Violence begets violence they say. But with hate... a choice arises. A small man perpetuates. He is not just angry at the world, but at himself. A small man is small in heart, mind and body. no compassion. no free-will. no strength to resist. A medium man avoids problems because he doesn't know how to be a part of the solution. And, a large man fights. He'll fight the system, the power, the oppressor, the instigator, the teacher, the mayor. Not because he is bigger, because god knows… sometimes the largest of men are the smallest of stature... But because a large man has beliefs, morals, and values; all of which trump the latest trend.

Small, Medium, Large
Bedlam is our repletion, bellicose our rest, For ever state which we call peace is war of constant test. This war must share no allies - each warrior a martyr, And it would stand that every soldier someone calls their daughter. The instigator Terra, the perpetrator Yahweh, Instant and perpetual - a bellum night and day. The resource universal, from sea to ****** sea. This war is fought o'er any man who might a bachelor be. Civility and stupor the only neutral face they wear, But underneath the plaster smile iniquity lies bare. How cruelly do they cozen, how capricious they connive, A thousand times more vicious than any man that seeks to wive. And how they suffer sedulous, their bodies they contort Into the most pernicious forms, a weapon of a sort: They don the war paint, pluck the hair, admonish slightest error, And take to wield those eyes of steel, and bless the world with terror.

Make-Up
I’m navigating a field of dark something-ness Sitting quiet in morning air In these cavities where my soul perceives life, I seek a heightened energy Laying hidden behind wrinkled skin tucked tightly into two beds of compact tissue in this moment they rest purposefully as if sitting behind window curtains They serve a common purpose when prompted, To identify objects in this limiting dimensional plane. Some days when I come here, I wander aimlessly across battle-torn countries of thought It is essential to let the river take them Watching them pass as an observer instead of the instigator Feeling the depth of their sting grow distant Sinking deeply into the dimension where we live beyond bodies Where I am a bee pollinating the flower I am the bird calling out in a resounding plea I am the wind pushing through bamboo forests Until breath inhaling and collapsing my cadaver becomes less of a grounding cord And the mat placed beneath with intention is no longer a chain to the ground There is now no face to inhabit, The world; a faint memory of molding Here the wind isn’t quite invisible Temperature is not affected by her power Bearing colors, intentions and tranquility I let her carry me up and away
