One Love, One Heart, One Destiny

I am a sincere believer in the power of Love

And it's never ending youth

To love I made a promise

Forever merry, in the spirit of it's juice

 Omnipotent is it's presence 

1+1=2

 A bond that cannot be broken

Love, how I love you

Let lips do as hands do

Label it not a Taboo  

Continue to Protect, Guide and Comfort me...

Embrace my spirit and my soul

For love your all I want to be

With you I will grow old

Happy Valentines Day All 

Love

'And on the News' - Poetry Feature

This is a piece I wrote a couple years back, but I feel the subject matter is not only timeless, but shall remain with humanity for as long as humanity exists.

“The timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness; and knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.”

 Kahlil Gibran 

New News

By Nezyah Amas (formerly iL.LoJik)

You elude me with bank vaults of fairy tales, by hiding behind brave faces,

But the tints of my glasses were long ago replace by the blood stains, of the remains

Of a battle between, innocent clenched fist, and a legion of demons,

I inhale the potent blessy fumes of the toxic drums, of ant farm council blocks to Muslim war slums,

My core numbs as we approach the real cold wars, even global warming won’t thaw out humanity’s biblical inheritance, to be ungrateful & negligent,

Recycling campaigns can only do so much, I hope it’s your mind & hearts that I touch,

So you can realise, in the hood the struggle is deep, but it gets deeper as we circle the globe

Yet we remain blind like being exposed to lights strobe,

Serbia’s lost souls cry out for compassion as the polar ice caps drip & rip, from Eastern Europe, to south of what was once divine Nubia, and now there’s beef over mines,

No movie stars...

The real blood diamond shines in the left of the ribcage, and it shines from Asia, to South America... 

To this place.

Hope you enjoyed

Peace, iL.

"Gamersss, come out to Play-yayyy!"

If ever there was a video to take me back to the days of adolescent 'binge' gaming, 

it is surely this one!

Covering an almost chronological, compressed timeline of world renowned
gaming platforms and consoles, this video made by Game Design students
in Munich will take every gamer on a trip down cartridge binary memory lane.

However they missed out a few of my favourites.

In no particular order...

A gold star to any avid gamers who can name the game for each image.

Keep in mind I said game and not franchise!

Whilst you're thinking/googling, here's a classic game inspired track.

Work hard, play harder! iL.

Two Tires and a Business Attire

"A business like an automobile, has to be driven, in order to get results."

B. C. Forbes

Welcome to the land of Corporate Style

Where aesthetic innovation meets unique functionality

Where you trade your dingy carbon footprints for trendy tire marks

And you work out whilst going to work

So I ask you... What is there not to like about the Bikoff?

Should I back pedal?

So we've come to an agreement then? 

It's been a pleasure doing business with you:)

Cue pedal music! 

(Don't ask me why I felt this track was appropriate... it just is!)

The Tin Foil Revenge

There comes a time in ones life when it becomes imperative for the laws of this here game to be unveiled. Today girls and boys, hamsters and guinea pigs, the focus is law 21.

Law 21

'Never fill your house mates room with balloons because he will not take it on the chin.'

He will do THIS!

Cover every inch of your room in Foil!

NO! Your imagination is not playing games on you... Your house mate is!

And NO, walking out of the room and returning minutes later will not change a thing.

YOUR ROOM WILL STILL BE COVERED IN FOIL

You indeed will have been made to look like a complete and utter MUPPET!

So please girls and boys, both hamsters and guinea pigs, abide by LAW 21.

After 30 hours of hard labour and 29 rolls of tin foil

"The Name means Divided, but the Hearts Stay United" - Poetry Feature

We are Lost

By Nezyah Amas

We are the lost Kings & Queens of the richest soil; we wear crowns of vivid shades of mahogany, olive and caramel,

Our spirit & potential lies beyond the height at which the light in the sky lies upon,

Ambidextrous with our hands & feet to the heart beat of music,

Savannah lands & jungles dwell in our lungs for we possess the gospel spell of a tropical bird,

The trumpets of heaven’s elephants, the battle cry of the lion pride,

The joy & laughter of hyenas,

We are the blood line of hunters, who braved wild herds of wilder beasts,

Sailed beyond horizons with a navy of wooden canoes,

Mind states of infinite wisdom & instinct to see digital watches in the skies and shadows,

The healing properties of Mother Nature’s meadows,

We are descendants of those who sparked the first notions of mechanical science,

And harnessed the seeds of life from crops for food & architecture, taming the ocean defiant,

Those who stole the beauty of flowers & trees, to lavish carvings and garments,

With the tears of joy from the colour itself.

We are blessed with mothers, daughters & sisters with beauty of celestial height,

Perplexing the angels with dark skin, that shines so bright,

Our story is the river of the universe expanding beyond sight,

We were royal from birth; we are the Lost Kings & Queens,

Many have been cast to cages or ocean deep graves, from being beaten or slaughtered,

But in tribute, we must rise above the tide, because our blood will always be thicker than water.
