"antagonism" poems
Now I ask you to join me Now you celebrate Not being me. Not being you Only Us for the great UN load! DIS arm! EN large! OUT side! Some steps I will take Be my guest Pull your anchor Out of the lake We're In the room In the building In the crowded city In the country with thousands of cities The country shares the continent with an enemy nation The two rivals are carried round and round by the Earth's endless rotation The Earth obeys the master’s magnetic line, burning since uncountable clock time The sun is blind to his insignificance too, ignoring billions of other star mates, it can’t see through Immeasurable it seems, magnifying! All of them such tiny little parts in one of Miss Milky’s arms Some light years away there they are: Pinwheel, Cartwheel, Black Eye, Andromeda and Cigar Unmeasurable it seems, humongous! All of them such a fading little part of the cosmos There you are Floating from a distance Feel the empty ground Drink from the fountain of existence Still blind to insignificance? Still convinced about the rightness of imposed beliefs? Still judging others’ defects according to our pretentious and vain mind? Still punching away the different, protecting the mold? Still reinforcing illusory antagonism and insignia? Still seeing only two sides? Still holding to the pride? Still In the ******* room Am I? Are you? Let's try it again

but finality in all series of things seriousness, or was it lackadaisical thought offspring blooms walls of drooping eye? air-tight space, its coalition with inward breaking penumbra of shadow, i write a poem so as not a poem but an antagonism of sorts to the end that does not smell of sandalwood but the fixation of the word as scent plays with memory, a fragrance of spring in all that is winter casting a shadow upon me, you, if not all.

Penultimatum (Kalisud a la Dr. Sawi)
oh sure, forgiveness of sin... or perhaps crimes... or just fetishes? like John Paul II forgiving sin, once polite society answered and John Paul staged the forgiveness session in a prison cell... forgiveness alright, acted out, with all the preliminary provisions readied - ode to Mehmet Ali Ağca, forgiveness always played out great for photography when all the Chinese laws were passed - Siberia welcomes all keen joggers; but you know one thing? raised in a canine environment as a child i learned to attach a different perspective with felines: like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse like you'd play with a mouse - you keep teasing - you keep teasing - you keep teasing - you just wait... crocodile or boa insomniac - and when the opposite party has banked enough to cry about having lost it... you spit at your enemy's mother's face while ****** her; **** me! you get to prove god along the way! how's that for a Camden Market daytrip? and if you don't? well, it was a nice thought - feels like being a woman with a foetus craving doughnuts and pickles.

Antagonism burgeons back bad blood. Compatriots, courtesy can cool contentions: doubly, disrespect demands decisive execution. Early efforts evolved fatuously, force facilitated farcical fighting. Gambling gents gleefully gored hedonistic harlots. Harassing ignorantly, igniting jealously, killings listlessly- liars lament momentarily. Meanwhile, monetary nuances of opulence obscure prime problems. Quarries quake running red. Remembering solitarily- stoic steeds stand silent, sending thoughts, unbidden, unbeknownst. Violence: we were xanthic, yellow years yaw… Zymotic.

War
I fell [through hugs and kisses, arguments, Italian takeout, suits and dresses, texts at 2 am, summer karaoke nights, missed curfews, coffee, ****** movies, classic '70s songs, stairs, health food and vegetables, fights, antagonism, test scores, spaceships, and happiness] in love.

Him.
I am a battlefield... Between love and dislike, not hate Between a handshake and a fist fight, when love is late... To the party When it is being tardy Between taste and distaste Slouchiness and haste Ignorance and awareness...to be a thought conoisseur To get my mind out of the gutter...or to leave it with the trash for sure A battlefield I am...between 'cheeky boy' and 'serious man' Seriously...I am A battlefield Between 'stand and fight' and 'kneel and yield' Commit to her...or...play the field To feel, or not to feel Tears of joy, or smile in pain To shiver, cold...or dance in rain This battlefield Between conflict and resolve Status quo and evolution Antagonism and conflict resolution I am human Problem solved.

I'm only human{poem}
I almost made it to the finish line but somewhere along I took a wrong turn segregation’s aftermath still lingering self inflicted prejudice over one’s skin abstained self antagonism over one’s curl pattern deeply rooted self oppugnancy over one’s own race persistent I know I’m not on the right course yet blindly I continue shackling the dependent to me as i spiral down this cascade too intimidated to speak out too worried about social acceptance too cowardly to admit it taught that color coding is inferior but favoritism to a specific color is acceptable I see police brutality to a specific race whereas other countries see Americans killing other Americans Republicans and Democrats both preach unity Yet stand divided in one house but I’m in constant denial because I was raised as a hypocrite I want change but only half of me is willing to fish for that change it wasn't always the way minorities didn’t have a voice so they fought for one generations later they hoard that voice locked in a shed collecting dust My people have the tools therefore don't be fooled because it’s only a matter of time before they put them to use and mold a beautiful sculpture

I am America
The demons are bleeding from the walls Pouring thick like screeching molasses    Grabbing me by my eye sockets    With twelve inch ripping talons      Pulling and tearing my flesh taut      Like some morose antagonism of obesity        Dragging me thru the hardwood floorboards        Thru a river flowing with moaning, groaning souls          Cast into a stygian darkness that blinds the eyes          The magnitude of grotesque revulsion          That unveils itself before me        In monstrous catastrophe        Ignites my dejected soul      To wisps of smoke and smoldering ashes      Set to a contour of unremitting denunciation    Scorching pits of fire, brimstone, and sulfur    The suffocated withering of my intentions The agony of ennui And the simplicity of sin

The Agony Of Ennui And The Simplicity Of Sin
Every morning ,throughout the year I hear demons in my head shouting loud around my ear Lacing me with antagonism drowning me into deep rooted negativism I feel trapped in their grip as they keep Pushing me to darkest corners like an adandoned ship I lie on my bed unwanted and unheard My mind is half asleep and my eyes are blurred They made way through me for reasons unknown It seemed easy to make them one of my own Eyes half asleep ,I see a gleam of light All I know is to fight with all my might Exhausted as I manage to Chain the monster within me Not afraid of the roars, I'll make them bend down their knees This fight was mine , though the Battle is to be won

'so beaten'
This art alone will not quench my thirst So, I pushed to the street in a disorderly burst Not as myself but as the lacerating beast He erased my fish-like stare and began his feast His fangs pierced deep and would not let go Implanting them shrewdly as a seed would be sown Stared through my mind but he saw only me A cowardly corpse of the filthiest degree Dragging me further by the arduous lights That shun on my skin and reflected mere blight Forcing me to confront the dwelling of lies As I loitered the entrance I screeched my despise! The masochist's dream is really quite lame Like smothering an ash from becoming a flame To bright forth the end is such a shame What a waste of time to miss out on pain.. Do what thou wilt is the whole of our law Next to that indulge in your flaws Be who you are and love under will But remember again do what thou wilt! The demon left me and I felt swift again Why should I leave and not take a friend? Might as well reveal that not much is real and bring forth the extent of misery I can feel The scent of death was close and would surely come And to my surprise I knew where it was from The pits of lust and her treacherous Gaze Leading me through the most grotesque haze Upon my arrival I was ceased to a sudden halt for what lay before me was preparing its assault Three seeds of evil from the lowest circle of hell but these had faces that I could remember so well The first was my love but she had no eyes They had been gouged and now hang at her thighs "I can't believe you're content with stupidity!" She screamed at me with the utmost sense of pity That sight alone was a dream come true A boundless arousal that was sincerely due The bliss I betrayed was evoked once more Into the depths of my stomach my innards it tore Glanced upon her flesh again and it began to rot At least seemingly so or obviously not I'd finally met god and I knew he'd been watching My sorrows to date and the guilt I was flaunting He mocked my existence and showed me his fame From that moment forward I knew who to blame This deity was consciousness and I hated him so I needed to run but where could I go?

So, I flipped curiously through every page Of the infamous grimoire by the golden mage Once I had finished I knew the lonely road; The dance of the bones and the hermits code! The depths of the wood were surrounded by light Not from a star but from a moon so bright It was the day of the harvest and it was mine Searching for my tool to reach the divine Where was the beast of grit and slime? Down by the stream where he spent all his time So, I marched to the creek with a hasteful stride To locate the toad to make my sorrows subside The reflection of my spherical guide Gleamed brightly off the waters own hide A night so fine that it would surely evoke The call of the creature; it's cowardly croak A sound rang out from the side of the creek there lay a frog hopping through the leeks Aha! I said. I have found you at last! I can finally devour the evils from my past I took him in hand to find the perfect tree One with deadly thorns to set his soul free I found the faultless plant with spikes so great The night was high and it was time to penetrate As I skewered the beast i felt no remorse Such is the way to make a toad-corpse His movement now faded he was no longer beast I knelt to an anthill to give them a feast After the insect army had consumed all his flesh I placed his bones in my pack made of mesh Turned to the north to head back to the river To the shallow depths the bones I must deliver Dropped them in the current to see which remain If none of which stayed my attempt would be vain I stood there and stared to see how i'd fair and to my approval only one lay there! Reached through the liquid to grasp my magic tool Raised my hand of power to summon the ghoul Oh, Sacred waters of the moon! Bring me Sabatraxas to whom I might swoon! The wind began to howl its childish laughter The spirit I had summoned would come soon after To grant me with a blessing or so the lore said or Was I just a fool evoking my death bed? Surely enough he ascended from below I will teach you everything you need to know; and destroy the ailments that butcher as you sleep For only in rest shall you find the need to reap!

History has dreamed of me And as such in its’ imaginings Feels the painful days and tragedy Of my great lament Scorching the jagged edges of the world It is a history that possesses A capricious and intense sensitivity A receptivity to suggestions of the imaginary It bestows instability to the great vital rhythms of my life And the misty memories of that present, That present past, provide a misery of mood Fills my veins with an inconsistency of feelings Creating an all engulfing anxiety Of fear and contempt for myself Where amidst this great disorder I fear that all hope has fled Vanquished toward a black and purple sky This causes all the great human dilemmas To take up unwelcome residence in my mind Which is tortured by a pervasiveness of antagonism Antipathy and disturbance You see I can no more escape from these Obsessing reflections in my consciousness Than I can from my own reflection in a mirror

The tragedy of my great lament
In my youth, I came across an intoxicating friend As quick as tiger, my friend emerged to my best Never one without the other, permanently in my hand My best friend guided me through life, momentarily erased the problems I had My best friend unlocked my happiness, then allured it in a jar Only to be released in vehemence, which mutated into truth The truth haunted my family’s soul, I moaned secrets of antagonism never to be told My mind went to war, my friend was getting old but I was in too deep and couldn’t let go I craved it’s company, the feeling it gave But it lead me to destruction, depression and hate. The people that cared, begged me to release But it was out of grasp, out of my reach Soon they let go, something I was ******* to Now I was the one, shadowed by the truth. As I tumbled down the lane, with a bottle in my hand I was immune to pain, felt no blood in my veins. Goose bumps replaced the ragged clothes that barely covered my skin A ghost blurred my vision, but opened my eyes to sin I only saw a jigsaw of contention, a forest of grief Then I blacked out, my once best friend killed me. I awoke in a daze, but new life set ablaze in my heart The ghost floated away, and at last I saw the light The shadows dropped and a refreshed beginning was in sight The alcohol was no friend of mine, it stole my time to realize I gazed at my friend, and softly smiled This newfound enemy was condemned to die With a smash of a bottle, a break of a heart A splash of disease, a pool of blood A life soon to be forgotten and a new life soon to be remembered.

Where do I go from here Here being the limbos of choice The frontal antagonism of option Where each road looks similar spelling out the death of my heart Stunting my passions and printing a mundane existence Where I am burdened by a debt of responsibility Bare scrapping change up off the pavement Not filling willing minds with enlightenment joy and inner peace as I wish to be My dreams as grand as the shining gold pillars of some ancient city And wit as sharp as the Chinese whom discovered atomic theory much earlier than western thought had hoped Where do I go from here Do I take up refuge in some major that over times takes my mind into the spinning spiral of numbers Crunching them down to bite sized bits so I don't choke on their rational? How do i know what is right When I've found it and it has been deemed unworthy How do I deny the self?

Questioning
*The roses had wilt The bridges we built Shattered with blood and tears Of antagonism and of our fears Yet at midnight I caught myself Half-awake collecting the ashes Driven away by melancholy, Shadows of your light abruptly vanishes You, you are still on my memory Vivid and colorful, I discern the hue Of the all the photographs we never took And the empty frames hanging by a hook*

A Woman's Revolt ii
I stare at the Kettle: Reflection of your vile face. Has left me in aghast! Oh, how I wish to erase Flashback of grotesque past. Heart seared by the venom Of disturbing memories Caused by antagonism. This rage can’t be appease Mind becomes murderous. The Kettle begins to hiss: The soul simmers with wrath- Insanely dangerous, Hungry for a blood bath! Oh, I wish for a knife And stab you many times As you left me in strife From your abusive crimes. Wounded me as a child And left me powerless. Boiling Kettle rattles: My madness is wild Have I lost my saneness? Many years I’ve been irate- Tolerating in silence- Blood boils with sinful hate! My spirit seeks the thrill For an eye for an eye- As it lust for your **** And to see you die! Gas sparks, Kitchen ignites: Body burnt into ashes- Soul seethes in resentment. Revenge sweetly slashes You to my contentment. Hands stained with red blood Like trenches of war mud. Eyes consumed and blind - Peace of heart now confined By rapacious rage. Mind is a Murderer! Am I a Murderer! Will I ever surrender? Will I ever surrender And taste tranquility? Or is my spirit cursed? Or is my spirit cursed To be trapped by the thirst Of the boiling kettle That will never settle Until vengeance scorches! (c)Jo Swan 2018

Boiling Kettle
drinks like this cold numb the fingers; many a times i leave the house wishing for a poem like this one, culprit terse and all me in the night on the greenbelt fearless concerning death without seeking the sky; i mean i love terse poems like these with caterpillar sludge of the path erected to teach mathematics like so: god give me the shrubbery above and nothing but worm below... i want to be the imaginary blur of antagonism where life dictates all life with me being the continued tear jerker jack to abide by bullying; no! i want to etch twilights in the hallucinations of the night, dwarfing then expanding the nightly roulette of routes flamboyant with the shadow sharpening lost: first the fox eager to tell the route as scout, then i hooded with beer in hand not asking for directions asking for the dry wooing of his call. there i stood in a field in a foreign land and watched east darker than the west with the lighthouse rotondo - i prefer to roundabout i have me say; then sat on a pile of stone worth the blair witch project with cinematic heart attacks, and sipped a quiet breath to include carbon monoxide and the scenery of the blinking stiletto erections for the trail of tailing off elephants into the night; sooner the drunkard but sooner the pacific boa around the neck or the black sea boa and the man drowning; gays' gauge foremost loss of the piston in woman's favour to trip up **** in hetero pleasures asking direction from athens to tripoli. i was there, hoodless and armed with bare skin tattoos invisible but seen by polaroid goosebumps exposing, there, waiting to etch the bubbling freshness of a secondary twitch into flex but not circumflex of prayer or movement without motive other than prayer and abiding by ***** and priest talk. i took to the soil, i took to the grain, i took to the tomb, i took to the skeletal vain! i took to the soil, i took to the grain, i took to the tomb, i took to the ceremony of perfumed parting with a sneeze to make death laugh. and by god i laughed, mortally into the eternal! i bulged all life into the marrow and called it an artefact to be worth a **** instead of a whistle on that bony flute, with my breath believably less accommodating turning the haemoglobin dolphin into a champagne siren.

Twenty ticks and eleven tocks into a man’s day, the sixth of seven days for him to stare into the abyss of abandoned memories. Seeing her eyes staring back at him stirring the pain in his soul. Spirits of the past ascend from the void singing songs of antagonism. Recalling the moments that provoke his anger and summon his anguish. He decides to satisfy the spirits of torment. A sacrifice. Reaching within the thorns of his body he removes his pride and lays it upon an altar of forgiveness. Letting go of all that he was and silencing his demons. The sixth of seven days is now complete.

A Day To Forgive
.i've had enough... i'm hijacking this linguistic shit-show, formerly identified as the English-language. don't talk to a drunk in an attempt of sobering his opinions, without first engaging in his dialectic. god knows... he might start       *spreschen           deutsche,    bis sie*. and whatever antagonism exists for the English, you can only counter it with a Zeppelin... covert for:               saying something in German; i see no other way to manage this country... thank god and the almighty that i didn't bed even one of their women / lawsuits...     thank god, and the almighty... given... why would a god bore himself with an omni- prefix in all the existing realms... when... his creation is grounded upon luck, or chance, i.e. gambling? what a waste in terms of making an observation, being summoned qua omni: as being all, powerful, cited,     etc etc.    more like the ******** tickle of qua et cetera... *ein, oder zwei      wörter im deutsche... das ist, alle;     jetzt,    das ist von etwas nutzen*.

cautionary "warning"
The soft scent of Shea butter creates new homes for comfort as I relax into your oversized clothing. Solace is reinforced by your hands so vast that I could fall asleep in your palms forever. They fortify around my cheeks against incoming attacks of antagonism. The contrast is subtle; you laugh so much but smile too little. It's striking, your smile. White teeth against skin so dark that I half expect to see the stars emerge, the same constellations that are reflected into my eyes when you call me beautiful. It upsets you when you can't find the words to bring me relief, yet it is brought unto me by your touch, your company, your smile, your scent. Your ability to **** out the poison left by venomous attacks that hindered me nights full of desire as though you were simply ******* on my skin in scattered patterns during playful blunders. You are comfort when comfort is needed.

when comfort is needed
*once the target of advertisement, now the targeting advert machine that pausing live t.v. created, with the internet... once ready for being branded, now asked to brand, to be the grey matter and ***** work pamphleteer, as if for the solidarity movement... no, the advert's inverted device, ushered on by the hope for endorsements giving Libra the universal answer to the antagonism of imperial and metric measurements having found a twin-usage solution akin to Israel and Palestine.* https://goo.gl/TNDAab, some want this, some want that... and some want to commit to suicide, only because you wrote poetry and left desperation for most of us having the sole consolidation evacuating us from practice - the art part-time, art in your spare-time, art on the sly, art that's no art, no expansion of vocabulary - some want this, some want that, and some want to commit suicide only because you engaged with poetry and discovered poetry was the use of rhyme as painting would be should the colour blue be used - what a shame.
