The City of Derby holds her breath amidst the crisis of historical ramblings and talkative expressions of inhibition. Do not be deceived. Roaches are not mere insects, but are also three-course celebrations of haunting and religious engagements. There are Peaks which lie beyond the stratospheres of Leek. Although the parameters of yesteryear project their own splendour, let us acknowledge the silver hair which drips with eternal statements of antagonistic adoration in Curzon Street. Oh, rose of Sharon, in my sheer lack of understanding, I do not invalidate those instructions to depart from Birmingham New Street. I have deeply immersed myself in Welsh pools of genuine loss, and have found a precious commodity which I had never beheld in former lifetimes. Furthermore, I lament the loss of such generational integrity.

The Mother of Hibiscus Syriacus
queer creature of white stone: the spirit of the island in the head of this lion, the soul of the natives in the body of this fish, spirit and soul, lion and fish, mingle together by mere wry humour of evolution’s word we revere this beast, (it watches over us from nine metres above), we bow down our backs, (worship it as our exemplar): for many of us, unknowingly, we emulate the spirit and soul of this queer white creation of stone. standing tall (unshaken!) even as jaundice bolts of heaven’s creep tip-toed behind its scales and strike: its cemented steadfastness of stone we emulate, for through the towering grey waves of crisis, and the threatening dark clouds that foretell our very fears, we too, have floated and transcended and appeared unscathed. mutated monster – child of bad genes, they despise such unfavourable antagonistic features (shall it rule like a lion or flail like a fish?): its unlikeliness of surviving, of thriving we emulate: for this dotted smudge of red pen ink on the globe, destined to bow down to fate – bowed down not, and flourished. beams of white water spouting out in a perfect shape of a quadrant’s circumference, endlessly, its majestic spewing action we emulate: this island of expectations, sterile smell of success, fate of our future in the setting of an exam hall, (in there do you not think we resemble the merlion, our mouths the hoses, the papers our well?) but, oh, the merlion – so many of it – the merlions, same-maned, same-scaled, fluttering and bursting with imitation across our home: such congruity, conformity we emulate: for years of yearning to swim in the mainstream waters, of being goldfish, instead of losing the waters for flight like flying fish, have made us very much, about the same. queer creature of white stone: do you see not how we resemble your very self, how we offer you praise (by lifting our human arms, arching on our mere knees, hoisting our lowly mortal heads, surveying your colossal royalty, camera in hand)?

She hopes, silently, that he will chase her, catch her in his embrace and smother her with feverish kisses. He wants to glance back, towards the stinging sun, towards the opposite direction she has stayed in and beacon her with words of licorice. She wishes to let her voice drown the antagonistic opposition to their current disposition and listen attentively to reciprocated admissions. But they cannot, will not, because this is not a fairy tale, this is not a fantasy, this is the sad reality of both decisions. And so torn apart between letting go or catching to, they walk away towards opposite directions.

Misconceived reality
**A lecherous demeanor burnt the tongue, like cheesy solicitations in antagonistic ruminations of ventured conjecture, churning sputtered calculations, a tactile exercise     in the biting tang  of eviscerating maceration regurgitating bitter sediment, unctuous residue    slid down the throat, the aftertaste remained    long after it was digested**

Bitter indigestion
The empty air has a bitter tone When it bites at my fingers And yells profanities in an unrecognizable tongue. It stings when it sings. It has an aberrant gait And a detached mien, This lack-of being. The tempest’s strides jounce its overly-wide shoulders; Its prominent brow sends an antagonistic shadow Cascading down its lip and jaw. This active silence whispers age-old secrets Its fingers tousling the amber leaves Of my autumn’s long-dead trees. The sound resonates, And this taunting, all-knowing, Omnipresent, nonexistent-but-still-there wind Smiles at my naïveté. Weary under the weight of the world And the smog of self-importance. Its eyes are clouded with grey rain, Its teeth sharp with a bitter resentment; “I’ve disliked you since the 1700s,” it breathes, Throwing an airy, acrid gaze at humanity. (“I’m sorry, but it is you who made me this way, With your scornful industrialization.”) Its eyes are frigid, piercing, Wicked, yet reserved. Cruel in their taunting assumptions, Yet, In those forget-me-not eyes I found the sky.

I Can't Hear it Anymore
Hello, little god, cornered in this world of insignificance; between sips of too-cold raspberry tea create your own brand of madness and label it "art." From the blueberry stool that is your throne, conduct symphonies of beluga whales and daisy chains molded together to craft another colorful beginning. Papercuts and calluses are your battle wounds; a diligent ballpoint pen is the dog that marks its territory. But then-- White knuckles crumple mistakes, transforming them into carpet-coating origami. Your fingers keep the beat that defines disincentive: bmm, bmm, bmm. Possessed by antagonistic demons, tug at the noose that is a favorite paisley tie and admit defeat. Take another bite of your overpriced Reuben sandwich.

"Who am I, mother? Who am I and what do I do?" –Norman to his mother Norma, "Bates Motel" And so it goes, a split self - the protagonist defending the darkness as Bizarre murders satisfy obsessions of a mothers love, taking a Chefs knife, stabbing victims to death. Dualistic wars within, a helpless man whose mother taught him of the "Evils of women," instilling her own moralities of their wickedness. Fostering the antagonistic personality of his mother Giving to his incomplete soul a sense of wholeness. Hidden behind the boy next door innocence, a terrified man Incarcerated; locked & bolted Juddering with fear - promising to adhere - set free said to be "cured." Kleptomania returns; unearthing bodies from their graves, stealing skulls; a comforting souvenir, as Loving anyone meant destroying them also. Multiple personalities dominate him Norman Bates becomes Norma; his mothers persona, crawling into her skin Originating from their very kiss, kick starting a timeless love affair Paraphernalia of skins tanned, butchered conquests -keepsakes turned to art & now protecting an un Quiet mind Reasons pertaining to mental insanity Sectioned to institutions Taxidermy as a young boy fascinated his mind Urges to **** & fill, feeding euphoric highs, & even Vertigo.

there may    or may not exist certain colours that the human eye is unable to see an insipid    blueish-yellow an unpalatable    greenish-red each said to be impossible for our eyes to process; if seen it could appear in all manner of forms but would remain indescribable they say that butterflies can see the ultraviolet spectrum and that the honey bee sees in infrared; and so it would not be too absurd for a person to dismiss the "impossible" to believe in the possibility of the as-yet unseen although scientifically the only way to perceive these "forbidden" hues is through trickery and constraint by forcing the brain into seeing both antagonistic colours simultaneously and without reprieve until the border between the opposing shades finally dissolves there may be a truth but it is hidden somewhere between the plausible    yet impalpable and the proven    yet proselytised

NOT LOOKING AT OURSELVES August 7, 2009 - Damascus Ayad bin Izzet Why is it so hard to think of ourselves? Why is it so hard to change bad habits that seem to possess us? It seems to be a near certain fact, that humans do not like to think of themselves; certainly, very few seriously, deeply think about themselves. Who asks himself: “How do I look like to people?” “How do I sound to people, when I say this and that?” “Why is it people like certain aspects of my behaviour?” When you open up such a subject to people in general, it is common to hear: “Look, I don’t care what people may think of me”. But an answer like that will not help you go far in this world. You do need to pay attention to what people think about you, otherwise you will be, de facto, behaving like a tyrannical dictator – you are, in effect, alienating and restricting the advancement of your varied self interests. Why you ask me? Because we all need people if we are going to succeed in our professional and social lives. Without the agreement of people you cannot succeed, unless if your work can survive within a hermit’s context. So why are people so antagonistic to change themselves? I think that for people they are scared of thinking about themselves because they fear what they might find out the nature of what is existing within themselves. Another reason, is addiction. A person may simply be compulsively addicted to the harmful personality he has – yes, even if he knows that his personality is harmful to his own self interests. I talk about this subject because we all do need to change our selves, our personalities - since all the troubles of our entire lives emanate from one source: we dysfunctional humans! Where else do they come from? And yet, anyone who has ever tried to explain to another person their faults will surely go nowhere. No one is interested. I know one lady who I call the ‘Pharmacist’ because she lovingly showers everyone else with advice, while she herself cannot bear to hear one word with respect to her faults. And then, as the years passed, I came to realize, why all people are basically ‘Pharmacists’! People have an obstinacy that harder than leather, colder than an icicle; we simply will not improve, as human beings, if we remain this determined not to reform our minds. And there is nothing else to add on this sorry subject. How pathetically sad. A fine epitaph on Humanity’s grave.

Today, I am decrepit and my body is not my friend. My lungs are being unkind, Squeezing, wheezing, teasing With occasional, ecstatic gulps of air It's not fair! I am one huge ache, I can barely stay awake. Medicine rendering me narcoleptic, pessimistic, antagonistic, unrealistic, but I must still be mummy Bathing spots, and finding dummy I am wilting, like a week old rose, Exhausted (Off to wipe her nose)

He took issue with the small gestures in life. The birthday message from a friend not seen in a decade, the idol chit chat that filled the cafe's, cinema's and other such places, proclaiming them fraudulent unthinking habit, a motion with no true sentiment and in return the followers of such social constructs took issue with him - or worse, pitied him. He despised most human interaction because of this. Often being told that he 'rubbed people up the wrong way' or was 'too antagonistic' He just saw this as another excuse to expel him from the group (whatever that group was) All because he didn't partake in the usual social etiquette and fakery of the masses- this view only led to him being mocked further and neatly labelled as a stroppy, teenage rebel. His thoughts and voice cut down with replies of "Aaah stop feeling sorry for yourself!" "Stop going on about it!" " You're soo negative!" Because in all honesty nobody wants to be around a down in the dumps, killjoy, party pooper right? He could find no solace in the little things nor understanding in the greater questions of life, so he drifted along. Bitter onlooker to a species so separate from his own. Desperate to somehow integrate into their ranks but convincing himself that such thoughts were mere acts of desperation. And he was a desperate young man, desperate and despairing at his separation from the world and all others in it. Yet admittance to such feeling would rarely depart his form. No, he would mock and ogle at them from afar. He would rather be Outcast than Cast Out.

bold face lies he experiences them everyday masked in a never ending blanket that unknowingly smothers him confining him to a mere subject of ones own trickery giving him the comfort of trust and honesty then tearing it away at the cost of ones own credulity smirking in a way that makes him want to lift out of his mortal body damaging the soul of the antagonistic entity the same entity that stole his confidence that shattered his reliance on credibility that shunned his desire to persevere and at what cost? an elitist mentality that was created to fool him? what reward do the liars get? for they are deceived as well but are blind to knowing it. their minds clouded by their own self resilience that when they are the ones in need they are alone exiled to a vast plain of empty yellow pages a victim of ones own doing and from what origin is this conduct of behavior well... have you ever been lied to?

Bold Face Lies
I squander countless days Reading in the library since our last encounter the tales I have learned About women of magnificent legacies Amazement on how you Imported the hunt for wild game In the African regions Your skills bombarded as my attraction Which is so astounding? Preying behind me With loss words of love I was pounced As the night falls to darkness We intertwine to the drumbeats Of African native songs Doing their sacred dance Heartbeats overrun By antagonistic contemplation I cannot let go To a mystic woman Whom I can't forget

Lady Zama
Bounds and bounds of names of the forgotten, I wandered through the dredges of solemn Wastes that had entangled my thoughts, The antagonistic braves of loss, The ones who’ve left ones petrified, The ones who’ve died, left crying alive, I have also forgotten each name, The false memory of these people, all the same, Dead is dead, this flair for the living, This selfishness bears no arrogance deceiving, I am one who welcomes death, This fortitude alarming to some who step, Along the edge of insanity, I am the abyss, the abyss is me. So strong I was, walking head high, Disregarding tokens left behind, Until a sight then stopped me cold, A sullen grave but marked ”Unknown.” - I couldn’t move, I was frozen in place, I was then proved, My heart, indeed, was laced. Not even I, who so asked for sleep, Could even stop tear From escaping me, I couldn’t stop but wont to weep. - Aside from the sorrow ”Unknown” had caused, What’s worse is that he had someone, Here I was, alone and hateful, Someone remembered, and was grateful, For the stone had upon it but five little roses, Alive and well, not dead like the others, Some person some where had remembered ”Unknown” So that not even ”he” was left alone. - Destroying everything I have believed, Spiteful, hateful, and aggrieved, I stepped back and cursed him in jealousy, Fell back, I tripped, shocked, and conceived, That perhaps I was thinking like a child, Everyone deserves there life so mild, Who was I to curse anyone? All in all, I wanted everything undone. - The real beauty in this situation, Is that no one earns stagnation, No one knew him when he was buried, But someone now shows care and hurried, To his site to show their love, I just hope he’s diseased, but Above.

tachyphylaxis - tach·y·phy·lax·is (tāk'ə-fĭ-lāk'sĭs)  n. 1.    A rapidly decreasing response to pleasure following initial administration. I didn’t know this demon had a name. Ugly as it is it fits, a random mish-mash of unpleasant sounds and equal unpleasantness felt. I’ve known the ******* forever, manifest in vitamin cures and psychological processes, SSRI’s and stabilizers. He attends to the end of affectionate loving and all the designer vacations you've ever taken. He is the golden handcuffs of square foot home ownership and his business cards are set in silver. To put it bluntly his continuous presence is intent on destruction of any contentment. He is all things along the way that appear so promising at first but never last. Synonymous with tolerance, antonymous with precedence, the antagonistic leaven of all living.

A Fancy Name for Tolerance
*Is it really any wonder That we court the God of war ? When a man offends in innocence With imprudent comments poor, When the slightest altercation Leads to seeking of red blood, And grudges borne with vehemence Paste protagonists with mud. Why is it that we tip toe Through the fragileness of life ? How is it that you rage When he glances at your wife ? What generates the jealousy Of competitive bright flame And activates the trigger In the deadly baiting game ? Why should we seek redemption When the way is set in stone, When antagonistic temperament Is the customary way home, When the flare of angry attitude Leads the bearer to abyss And inevitable conflict Throws all reasoned thought amiss ?. Reflect on how protracted Is the winding road to love, How long to place the building blocks Of friendships’ hand in glove, How gradual the process Of steady cultivating trust To the wondrous actuality Of a brother bond that must. Why does the God of war surmount Mans best and dearest quest To find a peace and harmony Despite discords’ very best, To live his days in certitude Sidestepping risk of harm To work toward tomorrows’ dawn, And evening’s soothing charm. Shatter prides absurdity To dare to breach the norm, To reach aloft for courage And scale the unknown’s form. To rail against mans’ enmity To flail against his foe To conquer human natures‘ worst This beast of war must go! Marshalg Victoria Park Tunnel 21 June 2010*

Banish the Beast
Obsession of all possessions A weakness of mankind What God once upon a time Ordered of the Sabbath, The pharisee's set forth To have control intertwined Using God's name To have control of days to come Jesus came forth to the scene To open the regular man's eyes To the motivation of the truly unclean Showing them the cost that they Paid was worse than the sum He showed them they had been led Down a path of antagonistic fools Their motivation just Selfishness and mean Jesus is our best economy Our path for direction He is our leader for protection Let us relax on the Sabbath For it is to worship God Kneel to our relationship With His Son "It is Finished!" As this piece of poetry is done!

SABBATH~GIFT FROM GOD
Serenity: that's what goes through my mind when I think of you. Extroverted: takes over from the previous thought and changes the dimension of my fantasy. I look around, all I see is cold war. A form of cheap resistance from my egometric side. then I let go and let you in. I walk beside you, when alone, in a crowd, anywhere. I feel the warm grasp of your soft fingers; happiness smears my heart. I dwell in colloidal eternity as I gain a clear entrance into your serenity bowl, your heart. it starts with attachment, then emotional induction sets in. At that point when you pull all strings trying to gather fences round your fetish desires. "Get a Life", I tell myself. I walk away from the walkway with my head bent low as I look upon your intimidating glare not knowing how soft-laden your heart is. As I walk back towards your outstanding figure, my heart colloids in pleasure. I notice your beautiful curvy legs. they hit me hard on the most integral part of me. I feel dipped in love, so I bury the hatchet with my antagonistic soul. I move closer, hold your hands and there I feel it; the most common of all senses leaving me. Am filled with fresh new blood, full of hope and desire. It is then that I realize how hard I have fallen. Fallen hard in LOVE.

Fallen Hard in Love
Where are you to hold me when I need you to? Where are the understanding thoughts others have of my imperfections when I can't help myself either? Why do the horrid memories replay in my hippocampus when I thought I already turned them off? Where is my mania to squash my depression half? Why do I seem helpless and wait forever to succeed in the adult world? Why do I get so intensely excited then become an antagonistic monster? Why did I not know then what I know now? Becoming a victim completely unaware. Proved wrong and I strip to be the bad one so everyone shuts up. Humiliated and hurt and everyone looks out for me. Naive behavior and hunger too strong I steal from others. Tears swelling in front of small children. A girl who wanted nothing but for me to suffer. A boy who wanted nothing but my genitals. A troubled woman who wanted nothing but my time. A guy who wanted nothing but for me to be his ***** A guy who possessed me, Though everyone at some point Did. I've been owned, abused, humiliated, hurt, assaulted, victimized, bullied, made fun of, attempted to **** myself, blown off, screamed at, fought with, admonished, antagonized, used, looked down on, bossed around, yelled at, pushed, shoved, thrown away. Today, I have love that is a beautiful miracle and proof I will be loved without being pushed into what's only for him. I have a few good friends who care and don't grab my hand. I occasionally hate who I'm becoming when the anger within is the kraken in my body swerves herself around me inside slowly and aggressively. Only way she comes out is through profane vulgarity in my words and through my lips. They're gone, They're not mine, They're hurtful, But remember they're only for a moment. I'll be done with the anger one day someday, and the kraken is just a myth. Though my traumatic stories may seem like a myth too, be grateful I'm still here and smiling.:)

people who feel like to extend their pinky fingers when the others have been recently offered in assistance to greedy children, antagonistic husbands, selfish friends. they would never see people that way though because if they did, and on the few days that they do, when humanity is tire slashing puppy decapitation, the people who feel crumble into a *** of sappy person, resorting to gulping sobs and furious scribbles in a journal no one will read. people who feel like to assume they are alone, that if God wanted to, they might all have been rounded up, dumped on an island, and left to offer conciliatory remarks, hugs, and shared assumptions of responsibility and ethical treatment. people who feel like to believe people are good, as good as cotton wrapped tightly around a small, slender, white stick: dutiful, essential, uniquely purposeful. but those people who feel woefully forget the Ones who Feel and feel to such a degree that they create destructions and downfalls, messily, angrily like a toddler desperately trying to make the blue crayon look black. they are dangerous. powerfully effective at harnessing the attention of those who digest and regurgitate what Society has in mind about the condition of people, that there are troublemakers and peacemakers, but the bad apples are more capable of wiping out the apples who never had a chance, and merely were in line of fire because they were apples of the same kind at the same place with the same name. people, plain regular people, like to remember this silly notion from childhood, the devil and the angel entertaining either shoulder of people, all, everyone people. but what I think, me, who feels and feels and feels until the feeling goes far away until I beg for it to return, everyone feels. some listen too keenly. some explode. some are deaf. others mute.
