"oscar" poems
I'm crying for help but silence is what they see Smiling but the wounds are too deep Do you see the pain? Everyone's shoulder... but where's his? They say he's such a nice kid Give him an Oscar he earned it He's putting on a grade A performance Playing the role but never playing himself It's a cold world when you're in it by yourself

Lost
I watch the prom Dance, In an awkward stance, my friends walk in with dates, and the excitement Abates. Alone in a corner, I mope like a mourner, With no partner to dance with, No gentleman to prance with. Amidst the mirth and cheers, My eyes fill up with tears. I rush out into the open air, And by Jove! I see Voltaire! With his satirical charms, He draws me in his arms. As I sway to the beats, I'm waltzing with Keats. Causing my funny bone to arouse, Enters P.G.  Wodehouse! Using nonchalant wittiness, He acknowledges my prettiness. And then walks in Shakespeare, Who  wipes away my tear, And my senses curdle like curds, As he showers me with words. While I repress the excited child, I'm swaying with Oscar Wilde. I'm rendered helplessly mute, With his phrases so astute. With a proposal so verse-y, I'm serenaded by Shelly  B. Percy. And before this fantasy can spoil, I fox trot with  Conan Doyle. And thus literally seduced, into putty I'm reduced. I am platonic-ally smitten, By the genius of what they've written. The dating circus can’t make me cry, because a host of paramours have I.

Literary Seduction
& now I know we share Oscar Peterson in common I want to love you all the more, till the world ends Let our beloved rain fall Let our days howl of our Ginsberg Plath, Eliot & Dylan & others, more obscure Let us buy that Edward Hopper we both love & let us sleep in your car out on the Yorkshire Moors You're the milk in my coffee Let me be the billboard you advertize our love on lets be breathless metaphors of each other the quotation marks around each others words high on the ******* of stars & always read each others poems drag each other to open mics & drink too much let's make Cupid jealous of the fiery arrows we use to stab one another if it doesn't work out & make the Angels jealous of our heaven if it does lets be a restless breeze that blows through the world & stirs each leaf with our words lets just be us fellow hermit fellow poet Soulmate that's the word

Golden Valleys, Growing Naturally <> This is a Logo in Ireland, Dairygold™ is the company. I would safely say, that there is hardly an acre in rural Ireland devoid of some form of artificial fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. (Ireland is riddled with consumer cancer) If the Logo was written as follows, a comma between Growing & Naturally plus an exclamation mark ! which should really be a question mark ? (in the absence of the comma between Valleys & Growing) i.e. Golden Valleys, Growing, Naturally! or ? Then it might pass. Let's see if we can force them to change it and by doing so, it will highlight the fraudulent practice of duping consumers with blatant grammatical omissions and the wordplay illusion by clever marketers. (Well, perhaps not as clever as they thought) ps. I spent all morning, wondering should they be a comma in the last paragraph, in the afternoon, I removed it. Oscar Wilde.

If, with the literate, I am Impelled to try an epigram, I never seek to take the credit; We all assume that Oscar said it.

Oscar Wilde
stripped naked in the figurative sense, I see a girl that is far overdue for a dose of joy. so much emptiness in her eyes, blood flow has become invisible. beauty. oh so much beauty in the way she cares absolutely too much for those that are unaware of her favorite color nevertheless asks how she feels every blue moon. perfectionist could quite possibly be her middle name by the way her heart beats in sync with the spontaneous moods that show their appearance every two days or so. anxiety equals a rapid beat. "if you feel worried then you must act on it" seems to be her philosophy because when she's sad and shaky the heart must go slow. for, she. is. slow. when the depression hits and vulnerability only shows its face behind closed doors im sure she would say that she feels as though she's suffocating. suffocating in the figurative sense, where everyone is there watching her but no one can differentiate heavy breathing in basketball practice from a ******** asthma attack. idiots. so numb. she's so numb in the figurative sense. you ask her how she is and each time it's an automated "good" as if practiced hundreds of times before a theatre performance. an actress. she's an actress in the literal sense. planting a smile from ear to ear even when it's an obvious gloomy day for everyone else. she puts on a show of happiness that could very much earn her an oscar, if only she were literally in the entertainment business. I can see her falling in the way her back hunches just 10 degrees lower than it had a year ago. I would recommend a doctors appointment but im hoping she learns to fix it on her own. I'm hoping it begins to appear in someone around her that maybe she isn't as okay as she seems. this beautiful perfectionist doesn't just have bad days and doesn't just spare her low moods in spite of upsetting those around her. this beautiful perfectionist doesn't see herself as beautiful. this beautiful perfectionist is so far from perfect. maybe if someone looked a little deeper in the literal and figurative sense, they would choose to ask, after her automated response of "good", "are you really?" -mxy

Red, edifying & ditsy, Wine illuminated names -- eclectic, & gypsy. Yippee persons; So yawned Night. I gathered her, too Tipsy, I paused & smoked young Faith, aimed it too high And next dared The hour escape. Oscar sounded clear and round.

Red Wine Gypsy Night, Tipsy Faith, and the Oscar
Dear diary, I just can't explain the amount of thoughts that I have daily!, that continuous mind charter that I have daily....! I'm filled with thoughts, every minute, and every second of my life. My mind just keeps switching from one thought to another, & The amount of day dreaming.... well!!! you know my silly screaming ??!!! Sometimes, they are really funny! And they keep making me smile, so that I keep glowing! But some thoughts...,,, They are really too dark, That ,when I confront them, it breaks my heart apart!! I'm like a confused soul, who's in search of meaning of life... Who's in search of peace , Who's in search of shine! But the moment I start thinking, ugh!!!My head starts cracking!! I just can't concentrate on one particular thing ! Today, if I feel like being a doctor, Tomorrow I might think of being an engineer, & If today I feel like being an accountant, Tomorrow I might feel like, " I just need an Oscar...!" An Oscar for what?? I don't know ...!!! It's sounds too cool and looks good to show ! Will I work for that award?... honestly, I don't know ! I'm so lazy, I don't even get up to "shoo" a crow ! But hey!...there's one amazing part about me, Guess what ? "Anyone can come and speak to me." Being an overthinker, has also opened up my mind, I don't form immediate opinions, till I get a clear sight ! I really don't know this journey of thoughts well??!!! Will it ever be stable ? Will it ever end ? But ...If it ends, I'll die for sure, But hey!, I'm sure there is some way to cure! Which way? Hey !...I don't know again ! Is that way gonna be simple or another amazing pain! But hey hey hey!!! I don't know why did I write this ?! Was I trying to find a solution or was encouraging my thoughts already  in a continuous motion?! But hey!, it's ok if you're an overthinker, Try to be amazing my friend, even if nothing is clear!

# ***My mind to frolic, with words of Frost Slides between and then is lost Drifting ‘round to fellows long My thirst is deep; desires strong Filled with all that Maya says Flits in and out my meddling head And ah, when Pablo speaks of love My heart's aflutter with pure white doves Around the beat, who else but Poe A deep dark place I've come to know I stop to ponder the words worth As if I've nursed them from their birth I settle to hear the rambling brook Where Gwendolyn baits my eager hook Then ‘long comes Oscar, running wild I listen like an eager child When Langston paints his colored hues His canvas fills my point of view Not just the finest spinning me To this state of flux and reverie For verses drift from near and far Forever reaching for the stars Feeding on the gentle night I languish in the word's delight Finding rhyme from ‘neath the skin The place where passion's settled in To fill my cup, appease my soul Till hunger's sated, fat and whole The empty space behind my eyes Is filled with life's sweet lullabies And when at last, I lay to rest I'm filled with cadence of the best*** #

Cadence of the Best
On her way to work one morning Down the path along side the lake A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew "Poor thing," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you" "Take me in tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake She wrapped him all cozy in a comforter of silk And laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk She hurried home from work that night and soon as she arrived She found that pretty snake she'd taken to had bee revived "Take me in, tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake She clutched him to her ***** "You're so beautiful," she cried "But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died" She stroked his pretty skin again and kissed and held him tight Instead of saying thanks, the snake gave her a vicious bite "Take me in, tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake "I saved you," cried the woman "And you've bitten me, but why? You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die" "Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin "You knew **** well I was a snake before you took me in "Take me in, tender woman Take me in, for heaven's sake Take me in, tender woman," sighed the snake

The Snake by Oscar Brown Jr.
If the "Twinflame", or what is better known as the "Soul Mate Theory" rings any truth, then I believe I have felt this, even within my own disarray of natural human emotion and connections. The "Love" emotion, in particular, defines the world "Soul Mate" to its truest definition, without question. I'm a true believer that I have/had or maybe still will encounter this sort of spirit and that any lifetime spent with such a kind soul was a lifetime of riches and happiness beyond what anything mad-made could deliver. I hope when we do find these people we let them them know and I hope they recognize this sort of bond as the most infinate form of respect and compliment. I never imagined my story being a love story, but if I prove to be, not as smart as I feel, that is a flaw I would endure in every lifetime, just for the benifit of Love and Friendship. When "THEY" say, you must love yourself, before you can love another, I like to quote Oscar Wilde, who said "To love thyself is the beginning of a lifelong romance." Take careful consideration to this. When you get to know yourself and I mean, REALLY get to know yourself. You learn not only your darkest fears, but you learn your most powerful comforts. You literally create a world that only exists from within. You are learning and loving yourself into an "inner beauty" so fascinating that modern "entertainments" become nothing more than mere distraction. You become your own best friend. This is the goal and perhaps the key to life. You can be homeless, unwanted, and completley alone in the world (or so it feels in dark hours) and still have a place to run to, when you close your eyes, you're already rich. Now add another person. Who can compete with yourself and know your every move. Every thought. Every intention. Every guilty pleasure. Imagine someone else, who knows you in such a way. What a concept. Its real. You just have to be patient. Take the time to love yourself. I'm not there, but I have an adventure of a lifetime awaiting me. How could I ever fear life, when life can be so beautiful. With this other person...you can see them, touch them. Conversate with them. Educate, learn and lean on them. You will never find that, until you know what you are looking for.

The Things I Wish I Could Be I wish I could be one of all instruments; the singer whose voice transforms his audience into a choir; the writer who drops his reader's guard making a beautiful decimation of every self-made fantasy; the actor ripe with nominations whose prestigious Oscar breaks him open before the world; the photographer who captures moments worth infinite words while instilling that perfect piercing silence; the painter of elegant simplicity or ponderous complexity in every brush and stroke; the icon strangers seek for reason looking upon for inspiration; the husband who gives and comforts appreciating the angel he's been bestowed; the father wise and guiding with enough laughs and smiles to last their whole lives; the chef and the baker serving only the best scrumptious entrees and desserts; the encyclopedia of experience answering questions obscured from the web; yet beyond all things I wish to greet death with a smile knowing my life, however lived was worth those years.

Her Voice by Oscar Wilde
‘Apocalypto’ is a film set in a Maya civilisation and consists of a story that takes place in one tribe and how a passing tribe affects them to a degree of destruction. The story unfolds in a linear way of storytelling which is basic but still effective. From director Mel Gibson, the director of ‘Braveheart’ and ‘Passion of the Christ’. An underrated director of sorts but a great one nonetheless. Overlooked due to his acting career, he has been holding back on us as a director. The characters are set to be living a Mayan life and go about their days behaving as such but are rather generous and civilized for such an old race of people. They live peacefully and secluded until they interact with another tribe which brings about their downfall. And the way in which a Mayan civilization might go about solving problem as common as a natural disaster. Through sacrifices to the God's as a way to solve problems and mass results. Very accurate to the Mayan culture as well as the entire movie taking place without one word of English, all dialogue being said in the Mayan language. Another credit to the film. The directing style for this film is beautiful and flawless to say the least. No shaky cam used or hand held cam either. All fluent movement of the camera to create a great story, one that flows naturally. The use of camera angles is creative and different, using tilted angles to convey a certain mood and straight framed shots to convey another mood. The performances stand out as a huge positive, the actors who I have honestly never heard of give Oscar worthy performances. Mel Gibson uses unknown actors as not to compromise the film by the status of the actors. These actors and actresses give a hard performance based on body language and quiet moments, the enduring task of learning to be emotional through a foreign language. Which is why I would guess Mel Gibson used local actors who are more aware of the Mayan language than American actors. The set design is truly Oscar worthy in this film. The Mayan temples and tribe lands are captured perfectly in the sets for this film. Well build and suited towards the amazon environment. As well as good filming locations, using the wonders of the amazon rainforest as an advantage. In final thoughts, I believe that Mel Gibson is a stunning director with an eye for detail and a beautiful visual director. A director that can produce great work. ‘Apocalypto’ to me in the near future will become a period piece masterpiece. A tale of survival and dedication that will live on through the ages.

I'm No born free I tasted the dust of apartheid My mother was hiding behind the trees screaming for help No one was there No time to sleep We were cursed for struggle My father never smiled when my mother would say "the baby is kicking" Cause he knew,it wasn't the kick of joy It wasn't a sign of being a soccer star It was the struggle! 1990 Mandela was out of prison 1993 I was born 1994 the Dom's were free No more Dom-pass,but not uhuru still Innocent souls were lost What was the fighting worth for? I can forgive but never forget When De klert called black fools He said they do nothing but barking We turned to dogs now This is for Steve Biko Chris Hani Hector Paterson Raymond mhlaba Let not my skin define who I am Let not the earth describe me I know my future because of my history I was raised in a town of fallen angels Where blacks were deceived Whites felt free Turn the lights off we all the same colour Don't turn them on I want my son to know the history But to not repeat it. They say follow your leader How can you follow corruption? Zuma this zuma that Its all illusion I'll only follow u twitter I want you to retweet all the ish I'll be posting about you,the Raping,The Nkandla part,The Cheating,The Art and the bunch of wives Yes I voted,I still don't know why I voted Helen Zille only speaks xhosa in time of elections Jacob Zuma gives free taxis only to the voting station Julius Malema will bring apartheid back it is said on radio stations Mandela spent most time in hospital All of a sudden his dead Was he even in jail before? Oscar Pistorius ran to **** His now a criminal. Mandela note on my hand But valueless Our economy is dying Our world is dying My Dear South Africa..No Power!

Cold winter camping Frigorific night huddled around fire Many coyotes auspiciously howling nearby "Don't worry, they're across the water" Still I wait at the ready with coyot-basher Tents in snow shielded from peninsula By tarps lashed together with rope and ply "You'd probably die out here" says Oscar Here meaning Newfoundland Here meaning the Northern Pen. Agreeing monosylabically Nearly hypothermic thinking Not so bad Maybe stay another night (says the voice) Sneak down to water And jump in ice fishing hole

Fishing Hole
Morning smells of Lilacs rapture me, Taking me back to Kinderhooks Chatham Street….June 21st 1961……not a cloud in the sky. Lying in bed I open my eyes to the hum of a window fan. And in the distance I hear a Hudson River barge blast its horn. This moment in time, well it brings tears to my eyes. Eleven years old, brown hair, hazel eyes, a toothy smile, Grins in the mirror, hoping to find a whisker or two… My cat Oscar sits there on the sink purring out his contentment. “Oscar” I say, “today I leave for the Freedom Farm” The Freedom Farm is the one place where I’m free to be me Without the fear of a negative comment or a boot in my *** I climb aboard the Greyhound bus with suitcase in hand, And looking down at Mom and Dad....I wave…. So Long Suckers!!               Walton NY, June 22nd, Dunk Hill Road, the smell of cow **** The land of Milk and Honey, Fields of four leaf clovers and 10’ corn stalks. It was here that all my friends lived, Shorty the horse, Mrs Blue the Holstein,                                                                               And there was Uncle Ike, Aunt Minnie and 9 Cousins. I loved them all! On this little dairy farm……my potential was unlimited, Uncle Ike taught me to drive the Tractor, water the heifers,   Milk the cows, shovel **** spread manure and have some **** fun! Hell Uncle Ike even let me try a piece of his plug tobacco... (Note to self…Just say No Thanks next time) A summer filled with character building experiences and an eight year olds understanding of work ethic. But we still had plenty of time for fun and cousin bonding. My Cousin Tom taught me to ride the cows and honed my spitting skills. And in my downtime I'd perfect the finer points of armpit farting, Four weeks of heaven on earth where nothing was impossible. *Once you work on a farm you get dirt in your shoes. And when you get dirt in your shoes, you can never get it out!"

THIN sheets of blue smoke among white slabs ... near the shingle mill ... winter morning. Falling of a dry leaf might be heard ... circular steel tears through a log. Slope of woodland ... brown ... soft ... tinge of blue such as ***** eyes. Farther, field fires ... funnel of yellow smoke ... spellings of other yellow in corn stubble. Bobsled on a down-hill road ... February snow mud ... horses steaming ... Oscar the driver sings ragtime under a spot of red seen a mile ... the red wool yarn of Oscar's stocking cap is seen from the shingle mill to the ridge of hemlock and cedar.

" I love your positive outlook on life. It's like you're never depressed. Or at least I wouldn't think so," you tell me. Maybe that's why DeCaprio never won his Oscar; they're  savin' 'em all for me.
