Greetings From the Administration

Peace Nomadic Poets,
Greetings poets, we hope all is well. Another month down in 2009, almost halfway through the year... Almost time to switch to another gear. Congratulations to DreamCatcher for becoming Poet of the Month For May 2009! Check out the Zen Master of The Oasis and you will see why this is long overdue. We also want to acknowledge President Obama for doing a Phenominal job with his first 100 days. Everybody might not like him, some may disagree with him, but we all must agree he is trying to move us in the right direction. That said, we will continue to do all we can to make The Oasis your Home while You continue to make this the DOPEST SPOT ON THE WEB!!!

Peace and Blessings,

Hidden Poetress & WlkWlk3 (Administrators)

Hearts Opus:

I summon my totems with thumbs folded in lotus, my heart drums an opus and I'm free as the locust that knows bliss floats swift on golden winds.....and so my soul spins dreamcatching webs, sleep deep and I'll show you beings stretching zen into things like a leave's deft descent. It seems heaven sent when the scenes I see in my head flow like a stream to the sea's edge. Lucid on my riverbed, tethered by a silver thread, I scribe with Akashic pens. Another page, the first leg of this chapter....will this hero ever find his answer? The caravan canters giving barren lands laterns should the night deny the tribes dancers the flight of rapture. I draw down the sky's light faster than a bolt fractures cracked earth, and with abstract words plant verse into mental dirt. Pencils curved at the tip from the pressure of these letters serve as the wind to sentence feathers. I never speak unless it's to breathe better, for who else do you know that can control weather? Just breathe deep and find your center to reach the peak of pleasure, for once you enter the deepest creases in your brain's pink pits, keys and secrets ease us past obstacles once thought impossible....

Wlk 3's Scribe of the Month: Excel-sius

[/font][/center][/u]

Scribed by: Amayzn

[/font][/center]

We are not the same, I am an artist,
new breed, leave victims in broken boxes
don't tempt me, I voice toxin
I see you notebook thugs
your heart's merely spray on
fortitude drawn with crayon
play down your insignifigance
I'm the last dragon here to pillage the village
And forgive me, I'm from a place called Hell
and I got painful recollections on my way to Heaven
....so I got hurt for sell
and it's at the end of my extend
so say hello to my little friend.
I'm affixiated on a full plated platter of matter
spitting out bone gristle
tongue's a chrome pictol
and if growing to be a bastard wasn't the goal of the world,
then I'll leave it hurled
and eat it alive with mustard
til I muster being a master running thru plaster,
go Bruce Banner and hulk up til I choke up
niggas on my peanuts like Planters.
Freeze-tag cowards in place like replays on cheaters
running off fast at the mouth but how
do they plan on outrunning a cheetah?
I'm type to powerbomb you thru shit on tissues
into mildew like the wicked do and introduce you
to my stomach lining cause IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!!!
watch me transform into Voltron,
kill with a metaphor
filled with chlorophorm off my forearm.
I be that speak sweet with beat
street meets concrete on a heat streak
and keeps fleets to bust your white meat on yo' white tee.
And I don't need a team to NBA Jam on you
cause [glow=red,2,300]"HE'S ON FIRE!!!" [/glow]
young scorcher,
I AM THE CLAP,
burning you like bacon fat,
serving you up Hannibal the Cannibalisticly
eating your rib slabs
so who wanna play versus with verses
and see me excel with my Excel-sius,
spit cold like anemics regurgitating ice chips
while you catching an ice pick.
My mentals not stable like homeless living conditions,
given 10 to none predictions, you can't move me
and the bad guy don't die in this movie.
My heavy weights moves cruiser weight.
And ladies, I'm a long time cumming,
shooting for 8 miles and running
so be careful with your words cause feelings get hurt
and sensitivity is just another way for me to eat.....
I write history, others got tall tales,
me against you's like throwing grapes at a whale
[glow=red,2,300]and you two steps from PISSING me off [/glow]
then off with his head screams Excalibur
as destruction meets your caliber...
see the forecast looks stormy in the distance,
futile is resistance,
so there's reason why going against me,
you must not have an interest in living.
Bust on dames like gang bangs,
I don't take names, I break lames,
kill your fire and desire to be a writer with five finger SMACKS!!!
cause I'm Rick James, bitch
so fuck yo' couch, nigga!!!
this be the dirt I stomp in with remnants
of the back then into your right now,
a comeback unattainable,
ask Michael Vick how,
now you should gracefully, respectfully bow out
before I tap you out
and prostitute your youth to walk in the shoes
of dudes paying their dues
since you first viewed Blue's Clues
cause we are not the same, I am an artist,
taking peeks at these Betty Crockers in the supermarket
and seeing no potential
for these piss stains trying to be the shit in my toilet bowl.

Oasis Spoken Word of the Month: Devotedly Hoping
By: MaryJaneBurns

devotedly hoping

[/u][/url][/center]

my crown (when found)
will be presented by mr heaven-sent
custom fitted to my explicit specifics
& come encrusted w/diamonds & emeralds
mined from the deepest center of his soul
eyes of coal....
peridot that shimmers

glitter wishes
lip smacking firework bursting kisses

2 steel horses of course
herz & hizez

for my king i bring the rings that bling saturn

carefully check each step i make when its my turn
my strategy comes naturally
- to mate him is win-win
mister & missues heaven-sent
r destined
the fate of the universe depends on their happiness

enlisted sacrifical bishops
to solider in this quest
the boulders that built the rooks
have over-looked utopia
key pieces -the fiercly brave pawns
dont live long protecting ya
pegasus knights
give L shaped flights
symbollic of love
commitment to the win-win
is essential to the fullfiment of
ancient prophesies detailing u & me as king & queen

father time + mother earth harmonizing lifes rhyme eternally

chronos & rhea metaphorically

giving birth to the world for all of eternity
windswept comfort is felt as i exhale each breath
every second in his presence is a second thats blessed
until we take our seats in the kingdom of exstasy
til reality merges with fantasy
til everything is as we dreamed it would be
til the day that u r next to me
& i can freely scream 'I LOVE U BABY'
without fear of consequential what if's & maybes....

i'll keep patrolling the board looking for that opening
discretely scrolling every direction with affection...

devotedly hoping
