"provokes" poems
The nature around us Provokes to think! The geometry of nature Creates coincidences and intersections! Coincidences of creation- destruction and re-construction! Intersection reveals the connectivity, Connectivity between deconstruction and reconstruction! Geometry portray the commonness and uniqueness, Commonness and uniqueness between ‘image and number’ and ‘shape and number’! It leads all relation to number relation!

Nature- image-geometry and number
I wished for you excessively.   greedily.      immeasurably. I craved you for days on end and finally,    finally. I got to see the way your lips form around the precipice    of my name; I felt your hand on my waist as your touch provokes every minute nerve         in my body; I drowned myself in the      depth of your eyes that glisten with wonder as you           decipher the spell you've cast upon me and how it speaks volumes of every    fairytale ever made; and I have had a taste of all of this     I've had you     right within my breadth, just until the warmth     of the rising sun   kissed my eyelids awake, like the tender whisper of the            cosmos or the discordant bellowing of the void    as it reminds me:       You are unattainable. Right then again I was able to      comprehend that you will remain an illusion to me       until our paths cross once more    and in that moment, nothing will be capable of surpassing       the bewitchment    the resplendence the luminance of the mere reality that is you

A cat’s purr provokes a precious symbiosis as cherished old bones rattle haunches wrapped in warm white velvet press gently against my half-broken hummingbird heart soothing two souls at once

Purrfection
VIII. TO ARES (17 lines) (ll. 1-17) Ares, exceeding in strength, chariot-rider, golden- helmed, doughty in heart, shield-bearer, Saviour of cities, harnessed in bronze, strong of arm, unwearying, mighty with the spear, O defence of Olympus, father of warlike Victory, ally of Themis, stern governor of the rebellious, leader of righteous men, sceptred King of manliness, who whirl your fiery sphere among the planets in their sevenfold courses through the aether wherein your blazing steeds ever bear you above the third firmament of heaven; hear me, helper of men, giver of dauntless youth! Shed down a kindly ray from above upon my life, and strength of war, that I may be able to drive away bitter cowardice from my head and crush down the deceitful impulses of my soul. Restrain also the keen fury of my heart which provokes me to tread the ways of blood-curdling strife. Rather, O blessed one, give you me boldness to abide within the harmless laws of peace, avoiding strife and hatred and the violent fiends of death.

The Homeric Hymns: 8- To Ares
I dropped by my favorite place today, released another exhausted breath. My pants were bulging out and the fat kept me stretched out. I hate that feeling. My stomach turned into billowy waves of expectant marks, pinning through my outer skin. I hate that feeling. When I sit, my thigh provokes every nerve in my body. If she has thoughts, she'll be a demon whispering through the wind. My unkempt hair is spinning around like gravity does not exist. Somehow, I failed to sigh out the black smoke forming all over my body. My skin, when pinched, is like soft straps that cannot be withdrawn from their owner. My skin is like the skin of my ancestor—it keeps stretching widely, tirelessly, and unprovoked. My heart is tightening its grasp on me. God, please help me! My eyes! I swallowed all my tears away, but my reflection still reflects the dark hue of the moon. When it is sad, the moon exposes his true nature, just like rolled down skins on my neck. My hands go from gently holding my heart out of my chest to weighing the weight of my body. If I let out my thick heart, my body would be lighter and my skin would be a plethora of scars and clay. If I abandon thee and such a calloused body, art will find me beautiful, and that is one of the moon's other sides. It's thick and uncooked. The heavens may not forsake an insecure moon, but a woman hates her reflection when the moonlight lights on her flesh. "Mirror, mirror on the wall..." I called and they did not answer. I froze in my seat and waited until the sun bloomed and dried my tears. Yet I still could not breathe. I went into the sea and swam with the lonely whales. The sun reflected on the waters. I reached letter fourteen, but it was written by someone else. The ambience of the calm ocean washed over me. I released a breathy sigh, and the light went to take me.

I'm barefoot in 46 degrees and I must remember that my perception of things must not encapsulate how I truly perceive. Soldered commentary is bleak but is all I've left, all my years have given me and my years have been few. To be constantly bombarded with the question, "what is it that I really want?" is fervently exhausting and consistently hypocritical and I'm a hack. The conclusion is always that I'm a hack without a win to present or a failure to fall back upon. As a hack, I've left myself with very few plans to alter or hungry mindsets to feed. After glistening the only thing that remains is to burn out and the thought of extinguishing so prematurely provokes a physical falter and frequent respiratory failure. Ask your brother if he lingers at times. Ask your sister if sometimes, she means what she says and she should always say no. Ask your friends why you should be anyone's friend and whether or not the chance to swing into hyperbolic criticism ever affects how they make their choices, hoof their steps. Their answer should always be no and their input should always be invaluable. Ask yourself if brain power should always be set to alter mind power and ask yourself is alteration is ever even possible. The answer should always be no. The conclusion to draw should always be his. The choices you make, always expert and ground out by consistent respiratory failure. Ask yourself if you'll always be an animal and when will that stop. Ask yourself if time will determine whether or not this "thing" is worth doing or this "thing" is worth composing. Ask yourself why you're not the young girl who sings soul on the street, whose tremble sets off car alarms and inner requisitioning. The answer will never be the same.

Your white bosoms releasing that white serum. That curvaceous mound feeds humanity, That makes the biggest humanity via motherhood wisdom. Your pink ******* arousing that tempest blood. That soft hill becoming hard, That hardens which heightens the adulthood. Your black ***** taming sin. That concealed shape popping out to provoke, That provokes to **** feminism in mean.

Pretty Ugly ******* A Women Trilogy
My face tells me nothing. Not nothing but nothing useful, the complications of ageing humorously but not how to avoid injury. Permanent injury is a now popular cliché. At this age any injury could result in pneumonia, pain in bitterness for your peers, your jury. What a headache I have! And never forget injury provokes at best only pity. Friends are merely friendly, they belong to the majority. They forget your name and so should you, who are you? Even you don't know for sure. In relation to community, no change was noted in       the registry. Still, man's mercy, economy's ecology, there's some joy in being small, some joy in staying strong, and keeping death before you without perjury. Unsafe to run the wind. A big stick might hit your head. Then the hip and heart and head will hurt, all three. Un- fortunately. I like a strong wind. Dangerous to go out in. As a fire or flood. I like the way we are at risk, not a risk-averse weasel. A carnivore, very hungry. Pay money, take chances. Yo's an elegant contraction of you. Cool. Message from street to board: mongrels rule. Democracy or tyranny. Scared to die? Why? Take appropriate measures, descend through meditation. Be empty, rest. And to your friends and sons be as gravity. Tired of death. It's what it is. Let's play sports, have *** kayak to the huckleberries, fish for marvelous fish, live a wonderful life, give generously. Done blowing, O wild wind? Not yet? So be it. I lay my head in your felt hands. The motion of the branches, evolutionary branches,       are my guarantee. That's all folks, 7:30. The sky is clear, the crows are out. The clouds are with my mood commensurate. I should shout, having lived prodigiously.

We are worn like winter coats Held close while wild winds rage. The scarf that suffocates the throat The cloak that provokes the rain. While the weather waits and wonders Whether it will weep or thunder, What we wear seems outnumbered, Cotton caught out in the rain. The coat now hangs forgotten, Left to rot with wet socks, Winter frocks and all things sodden. The ghosts of colder days Locked up and tucked away, Moth eaten and decayed. Waiting for the weather, Wondering if whether We will ever be worn again.

Winter Coat
Heart frozen, Mind broken, Soul stolen, Agony in the open, A life suffering for others. Unbearable fear, Scared every day, Scared every month, Every year, Scared every second of my worthless existence, Scared for other peoples wellbeing, Scared of losing those that I hold dear, Scared of being left alone for the rest of my years, Sat in my cell of darkness, Drowning in my own tears. Chained up, Locked away, Kept in the dark, Self esteem torn apart, On fire! Burning in my prison, Starving flames adding to this pain, This is how I feel, This is my daily torture, And I am my own executioner. My reflection provokes me, Chokes me, I'm ugly! Which mother ****** invented the mirror?! I might as well be dead, What could Emz possibly see in me? I know what I see, And sometimes I want to gouge my own eyes out, I'm a freak and I can't stand it! I sentenced myself to a miserable life because I dispise myself, Only Emily can keep me alive, She's the only one that can breathe life into me, She's the only one that can set me free, Please! Please help me!! Set me free from this prison of self loathing! I hate it more than I hate myself.

Pearls sent slipping from the string & in that moment they sing like raindrops. Monsoon pours red lust across my bed. He provokes the thunder instead with a dance of lips & fingertips. Pearls ripped from the marble hollow of intrepid breast, at my taunting behest. They clatter to the floor like my last shrouds of innocence. His heavy touch does breathe sweet incense through the thick air of this precipitous night, dark with wild unknown. He comes to seek refuge in this storm, & implores me to soak him to the bone. Pearls tumble like sea foam across the angles of my alabaster collar. Crash to the floor like a wave to a beach. Pearls, & tangled limbs & biting kisses dive into delirious bliss & sweet remiss. My ivory blushes with peach blossoms opening to welcome his reach, as we amble through a valley of pearls & silken sheets.

I am begging "Myself", to rest me from those things moving inside my spirit! I am begging "Myself", to release me from the pain of wearing the PokerFace! I am tired to keep that fire held between my skins... I am fed up with all those beats all over my body and spirit! I am wondering why her name provokes such vibes! I am begging the Unknown place of me, wondering where my life will end with those paths!

The Begging!
As with everything else in American life, the national government is just another commodity packaged for mass consumption. We're all being spoon fed a spectacular narrative which by its very nature is designed to evoke the passions. Every day, someone gets on TV and says or does something which provokes outrage, drawing the viewer in like the iridescent lure of an angler fish, and keeping them hooked just long enough for the hypnotic messages of the corporate sponsors to burrow their way into the collective consciousness between "newscasts." It is precisely for this reason that these frivolous displays SELL like hotcakes. There's no government going on here. There hasn't been for who knows how long? All that is left is BUSINESS. Raw and unfettered. The United States of America is now nothing more than a 'reality' show, and boy, I tells ya, the revenue stream is OH, SO LUCRATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Debord and Baudrillard Were Right (DISCLAIMER: NOT A POEM)
"I am truly losing faith in humanity." This is the phrase that provokes so much frustration in me. Tell me how this does not hurt you just by being okay with speaking it or writing it. Are you not humanity, are you not of the same bones and flesh as me. Do you not battle through struggles and have the livest moments as me. Have we not mourn the same when we lose something precious or realized the hate that tries to consume our people? Are we not one race of people? Tell me how you do not sit in puzzlement having stated that you do not have faith in yourself. Do tragedies put out your flame so quick. Instead of rising to conquer change no matter the time or loses, you crumble. My sisters and brothers, I am Honduran but my love does not stop at my roots. My kindness does not only affect people of my own ethnicity or skin color. We're a human race and no I do not speak that we should be blind to our cultures and each other's beginnings. I speak that being so different does not mean we are not as well immensely similar. Recognize my skin, recognize my language, recognize my roots, my religion, my traditions, my scars. Recognize all of me. And LOVE me still to no end. These tragedies will not further prosper when you have faith that, with a race with this much diversity, we will find the solution and stop these hate-crimes that make some of us even ponder the thought of defeat. I have grown to learn that this is the change, seeing the enormous difference in each other but seeing all the similarities and having it urge us to close the gap with knowledge and understanding. This is our peace. Learning of one another. This is our hope.

I speak that being so different does not mean we are not as well immensely similar. Recognize my skin, recognize my language, recognize my roots, my religion, my traditions, my scars. Recognize all of me. And LOVE me still to no end. These tragedies will not further prosper when you have faith that, with a race with this much diversity, we will find the solution and stop these hate-crimes that make some of us even ponder the thought of defeat. I have grown to learn that this is the change, seeing the enormous difference in each other but seeing all the similarities and having it urge us to close the gap with knowledge and understanding. This is our peace. Learning of one another. This is our hope.

The country road like  poet’s fancies unravels Through the   giant hanky- sized paddy fields And  the dream  sized ponds Dotting  the landscape in perfect  squires and riots of skewed and regular shapes The green spread and the muddy beds, spell the village beauty. Parrot green fields And  stark blue skies  look at each other In perfect silence, like mother and babe And a   great , grey house  exposing its ragged bricks, Bared like  the buck tooth of the old Provokes a  village memory Past picking itself slowy and ambling into the future Its wooden columns stand like mute exclamation marks! or so it may look to me. Flies  the  skidding scaly tarred  snake   Fast and spreading like the traveler travelling on it. Patchy it looks, now;   And  full like the  misery  of the scorned lover Eager like  the  maiden speech of a parlimentarian   The country road, runs fluid like a stream after the rains. As the rustle of the engine   trips and   falls into the  divine  air. A  roaming peacock calling adds  charm to the great whole fare A winged beauty, struts across Nudged by the sputtering , speeding me. The exotic avian   attains the hedges galore With its   metal blue  feathery strangeness blurred in my glancing eye A species rare, found only in ornithologists diary. A  clamour in the  air And the   school boys emerge in buddy pairs Beneath the village banyan That let loose its tresses to dry like a country maid. I see, a promising glint in their eyes The will make themselves of king and ministers of the modern days The  sonority of ringing bell   clubs the cacophony of school boys in into two dead parts. They return to their classes, sanctified by the silence, And open their minds to the feminine vocie. A Glorious moment , As the  morn of wisdom is born Rich are the sightings of poor country side And many are the mappings on the way, My sensibilities recouped, I drove back not spent But profound. sound.

Pain is a teacher
I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is your thoughts, my upset energies, and nightly turbulence. Sleep provokes night and life and darkness prevailing in us. When we wake up we are gone as our night precedes dawn It is always the other way, bottom up and spaces spread. At times we hear the police van’s shrieks, in night’s iron grill. I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is not always the stick beating the road in rhythmic silence And olive-green overcoat with flapped pockets and heavy boots And six months old large-sized memories of a Himalayan home With black-lined large dove’s eyes flitting among coal fires Their smoke towering over the pines in snow-bound peaks. I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is the turbulence we are speaking of, in the foggy sea we are Or on the peaks where everything is bound in fuzzy snow At the mountain passes where vehicles duly pass oiled by hot tea Or in the mist-filled airports where aircrafts do not take off Of politicians who decide mankind’s future in the apocalypse. I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is my dreams as they were and the neighbor’s dreams In the straw-roof, in the banyan trees with glints in their eyes And much fine-powdered dust on their thick –coated leaves, In lonely watchmen’s houses on the bleak stony spaces And lonely watchmen keeping vigilant eyes on boulders Strewn in brown spaces and scraggy bushes with strange lizards. I ask that you be heard, tossed about and dreamed of. It is the towering tombs and the trees that enveloped them The children playing cricket in flying bats and stone stumps Outside the vaults where kings and queens lay dead for ages Their cold breath felt on the broken glass of Time’s windows. I ask that you, I and women play a game of kabaddi in the trees When it is still not dark enough in the minarets in the west And children are still hitting ***** visible in the green of the trees.

we smile like sunflowers, spitting our seeds through our teeth. they taught high winds to swim across glaciers onto my skin, backstroke, trying to shiver down my spine. Indian summers save my hydrophobic structure from the flooding. i like to drive recklessly under the speed limit, leaving a sense of significance tanned inside my lip. today feels like Indian summer and your sunflower leaves keep me warm until the next northern attack provokes, down my backbone, where the shells are where we left them sink.

it is done differently - more is not necessary - more of this - is too much; the kissing is an exploration - to a polar destination of virtual whiteness - to discover more than this.  the kissing is not an end in and of itself - but a fjord unexplored leading to what? yes there are many different kinds of kisses - adaptations to a changing terrain - but the face, the face, the face (not just the lips), the head entire - is the first battle in a world war where the opponents strengths and weakness are literally uncovered and shape the nature of the war of the worlds yet to come. more than kissing, it is a speech and an interrogation; an ********** revelation of fine lines and small scars, a writing of a history, a history that existed  unbeknownst to the explorer and thus interesting and dangerous - a history composed in a different time and place and almost in a vacuum - for kissing is impactful - outlines of footsteps on never before trodden lanes - but who prepared these paths in advance of my arrival, and was my arrival forecast or just imagined? first time kissing oft portrayed as excited glee - but this is a grievous error - a wild display of wasted resources - it is not to meant to be pesky single shots of damp I was here where next? it is a drawing, nay, a sculpting of map to be reproduced in limited quantity for only the map rooms of the greatest museums. each individual kiss is more than an act, but a marker connecting the previous to the future next - exactly a map drawn by an explorer - meant to be shared with others who love history, discovery and women creatures. be wary of unmarked crevasses and pools where no one has measured the depth - novice sailors without proper charts upon unfamiliar faces - too oft drown or are somehow sail as lost forever. but the notion of being the first, even if you are not the first, is so intoxicating for the brainstorming it provokes - the envisioning of more than kissing but of unlocking a new nature, creating a creation born in the intersection of two waters - where fresh waters joint the brine of the ocean - and there are untold different kinds of waters and no two terrains though similar - are ever exactly the same. here does my entry in my log - my journal - end - though the notation of than is comparative and therefore unending.

i wander around your territory, keeping my imprints on your skin. a sigh of relief and a moan of satisfaction take you where nowhere you've been. flicker of my tongue, the tremble in your voice move closer, closer as skin. the smell of your innocence lingers in my senses, the taste of your fear excites me. the look in your eyes turmoil in your stare, the awe in your face humbles my existence. i a mere mortal in your sight, a sight of the past. the past is just a few seconds away. an eternity will unfold, walk my path, uncloak my victim stand in all your glory. your presence hungers my foul reason for living. my tongue on your skin, i taste you you feed me. your eyes provokes my inner peace. what do you see? is it life? or is it death? a swift movement, a tragic death awaits. my doppelganger sees how you live your life, while i cant wait how to end it. the beauty in my voice captivates you. leading you towards your befall. you yourself prepared my feast with your false judgment. i was never your reason to live but you were mine. you cling to my robe the way you cling to your life. too late mademoiselle i had your tombstone made an hour ago. i undress you, and taste your love juice one more time. ecstasy flows down your veins, you moan in gratitude i brought you wrath in return. you cried in a bite-forced. i smelled life, i tasted life but not yours alone. intriguing i say, so i sink both fangs deeper. another blood of total innocence indeed and it tasted just like mine. you saw the horror on my face. you smiled. you ***** you let out a soft dying laugh. delirium hits like a speeding car crashing. i have killed my own you deceived me. you knew my planned deception all along and countered on your own. you ***** old hag! you let yourself get killed so i could **** him. a creature of my own, floating inside your womb.

Infinite amounts of definitions could not depict The extent to which a structured norm Is measured Blindness adjoins clarity, while sight provokes vanity It is an aspect unhindered, lacking certainty A single word yet so many portraits Drawn on the canvas of our linked pathways If you ask me about beauty, don’t For my lips would quiver nonsense to you, to me The mass of the universe that surrounds our whole being The endless rows of glimmering stars that speak to our vulnerable eyes Or perhaps, the raging force of life that springs from within us If you ask me about beauty, don’t Because you would have to look at yourselves to see The beaming smiles corresponding with velvet risings of cheeks The abundance of glistening tears that have embodied those very same And even, the flashing spark of joy which invites a feeling of utter content If you ask me about beauty, don’t Otherwise there would be an influx of sentiments towards The prettiness of colored nature, steadiness of height-breaking hills The calmness of the bare sound of waves crashing into an advocacy for peace The building blocks of surroundings that determine you and me So if you ever want to ask me about beauty, Bare the consequences in mind Just the elaborate thought of such a question Could raise a plethora of reasonings

Beauty
Lord, who hast suffer'd all for me, My peace and pardon to procure, The lighter cross I bear for Thee, Help me with patience to endure. The storm of loud repining hush; I would in humble silence mourn; Why should the unburnt, though burning bush, Be angry as the crackling thorn? Man should not faint at Thy rebuke, Like Joshua falling on his face, When the cursed thing that Achan took Brought Israel into just disgrace. Perhaps some golden wedge suppress'd, Some secret sin offends my God; Perhaps that Babylonish vest, Self-righteousness, provokes the rod. Ah! were I buffeted all day, Mock'd, crown'd with thorns and spit upon, I yet should have no right to say, My great distress is mine alone. Let me not angrily declare No pain was ever sharp like mine, Nor murmur at the cross I bear, But rather weep, remembering Thine.
