Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
Crying in a dark corner
You curse all that is lost
World may seem to be empty
But its void that you've crossed
You feel love is elusive
You are just a speck in the crowd
I will be the answer
To all your doubts
How can a man not love you
You are the brightest of all
Your not alone beautiful
I followed your fall
You pointed towards the sky
And I knew before you sang
Your voice is a melody
Though I cant understand
The silver that lines your face
Is losing its glow
The world wants a martyr
Its not yours to do so
We are angels no more
We are such a shame
You will succumb to hate here
Go back from whence you came
Love is all that you need
To reach the stars again
I will give my heart to you
Coz i know the pain
The silver glows once more
And with it our distance too
My hand holds just StarDust
Its all thats left of you

Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
This is a work of total fiction, And the name "Mr.Ray" is a part of my imagination
_____________________________________
"Your dog has been caught terrorizing other animals,
Mr.Ray you have been charged with a heinous crime."
"But it's not my fault Your Highness"
"Then who fed him the pills ten times?"
"He must've eaten 'em while I was away,
He's very naughty at times, I must say.
So you see I'm not to blame,
You can't charge me, its too lame."
"Anyways Milord I assume you have no proof,
And I swear by the pills I'm tellin' the truth."
"Dont be too sure Mr. Ray,
Call in the witness, lets see what she has to say."
"Damn Im done....."
"Ok I'm guilty, but I will show no shame,
It was all just a stupid dare game."
"Five years of imprisonment Mr. Ray"
"But Milord, Look at him, he's happy and....GAY????" **
"Damn!!!"

Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
I don't really know
But clearly it ain't what you think
Try to hide but does it show
Do my tears roll down when I blink
Rose baby touch my face
Hold me tight and tell me its alright
Coz I fear if you don't
I will surely breakdown and cry
The twilight is ending
and with it me too
My heart may be stone but
stones wither too
Why can't I get what
I've strived for so hard
Should I fall on my knees
and beg with my blood
I try to hold dust
its all that I have
It slips through my fingers
to a desert of sand
The dreams that I've dreamt
bring nothing but tears
Tears from failing
failing my fears
Don't push me down
Don't push me down
I'll fall, I'll bleed
But I'll come around
Don't push me down
Don't push me down
I'll fall, I'll bleed
But I'll come around
Don't patronize me
But don't reject
I don't ask for praises
just a little respect
I wonder if my dreams
are built on sand
Will it all fall to nothing
or will it stand
I've started my journey
and I cant go back
The blood in my veins
is turning black
The only way I see
is ahead of me
But the strength in
my feet is failing me
I'll hold my ground
Don't push me down
Every step is more
than life to me
I'll walk to death
If it takes me there
But I'll never surrender
to thee......

Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
For Joe Flach's contest
"FIRST TIME"
_______________________
Remember the first time
our eyes met
I couldn't help but see
your graceful face,
I wanted to ask
if you were from heaven
But I was squandered
from nine to eleven.
Remember the first time
we held hands
The touch of your palm
was enough to excite me,
Lost and found
the feeling was alive
I bet you witnessed
what I describe.
Remember the first time
I kissed you
Time went flying,
Our lips were sore,
Kiss and tell they say
I was so sure
It was you, yes you
Whom I was searching for
And then.....
It was the first time
we made love,
I caressed your body
your angelic skin,
I held you so gently
your eyes lost in mine,
I held you so closely
our love lost in time.

Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
In the cold of December
Lost in my own world
I was talking to myself
Why does my love hurt
Thats when i heard you
Sobbing, I guess t'was pain
One look at your face then
And I was in love again
I knew you had fallen
From heaven above,
You gave me no reason
Why was it so?
I held out my hand,You
Took it so gently,
I carried you home
I cared for you gladly
When the morning sunlight
Touched me across my face
I thought it was you
Comforting me,
Memories hit hard
Dont turn away please
Ive fought wit the lord
To keep you with me
Remember the first time
We made love,
I caressed your body
Your angelic skin,
I held you so gently
Your eyes lost in mine,
I held you so closely
My love lost in time
Light on the other side
Maybe much brighter
But no one can love you
As much as me,
Your innocent presence
Had me in wonders
Now your untold absence
Is killing me

Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
Stranded on crossroads
of two worlds at war,
Yet you say the
end is not close,
Surrounded by angels
and demons alike,
I know not my
friends or my foes,
Shielding myself from
the sparks of thy blades,
Dreading but awaiting
the Fall.
Its grown so cold
within me,
Its grown so cold
I cant breathe,
Its grown so cold
Memories
are all thats left.
Its grown so cold
in and out,
Its grown so cold
I cant shout,
Its grown so cold
My Blood
is turning ice.
Light obstructed
engulfed in the dark,
Now broken my faith
once was whole,
Beseeching the life
that was promised to me,
When day turned to night
as foretold,
Trying so hard
to resist all my fears,
But into the abyss
I Fall.
Its grown so cold
within me,
Its grown so cold
I cant breathe,
Its grown so cold
Memories
are all thats left.
Its grown so cold
in and out,
Its grown so cold
I cant shout,
Its grown so cold
My Blood
Is turning ice.

Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
Hey Mary Anne
Hows it going in the city
I am missing you a lot
I love you, And i know you miss me
I miss your love
I miss your care
I hope your shop is running good
Did you buy yourself a car
The colour, That you said you would
Look at the stars
Im not so far
There is something you must know
But I dont have much time to show
So then I wrote this last letter
And it has some of my soul
Im dying fast, I breathe my last
Its in my brain, Its gonna blast
Happend so fast.....
Hey Mary Anne
Before you read this I'll be gone
To the distant shore of heaven
Where I'll sit and write my songs
Girl dont you cry
I'll be alright
There is not much left to say
But babe whenever you feel lonely
You just look up here and pray
You'll here me sing
A voice within
Tear this letter once you'r done
Tear it to pieces, Let it burn
Release my soul that is in you
carry on life is so much fun
Now let me go, Just let me go
I'll await you in another world
In another world...

Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
Take me out of this cursed land Mom,
I'm too tired to go on
The only thing that keeps me sane
Is the sweet thought of going home
You told me you'd be back Ma,
You promised it was just a day
But these guys wont believe me now,
They push me on my knees, I pray
I cry, I weep, they hurt me more
They think I'm weak, but they don't know
These wounds of flesh won't hurt for long
With every pain, I'm only strong
So it happens, I plan to run
Come tomorrow, I will be free
Nothing, can stop me now
I will be free, I will be free
Voices in my head they say
They believe I'm an abondoned child
Was I such a shame to you
That you left me alone, your only child?
Eleven years is a long time Jane
I'm too tired, I wanna leave
Hey Ma, you remember Jane?
Shes the reason you abandoned me!
No worries Ma, I forgive you now
I love you too much to hate you
I know you had some reason
Yes Ma, I forgive you
I'm waiting, When the lights go off
I'll run, I'll be free again
Wait for me when the sun goes down
I'll be back, We'll be one again
So it happens, I plan to run
From this wretched place, I will be free
Nothing, can stop me now
I will be free, I will be free

Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
Whats supposed to be the order
of things that just happen,
Is it supposed to have a flow
or is it supposed to be random,
The phantoms, I can hear 'em,
Man its too hard
I cant bear 'em,
Memories too vivid
man I wish I could tear 'em.
The pain I can resist
but its the fear I cant handle,
The mistakes that I made
is now flashin' on every channel,
No lights, I need a dazzle,
My freakin' mind
is irrational
As hard as I try
my life turns into a battle
I fight every moment of
my life, Im going crazy,
The whole world's in a riot
and they freakin' blame me,
The devil's tryin' to claim me,
The angels tryin'
to tame me
I try to be the light
But crap; My worries chain me
The pain in my shoulder grows
it compromises the burden,
I fall on my knees, I pray
I wish I could hear him,
But I hear nothing;
It's just a cold wave of silence
I wish I could pull the trigger
And end this freakin' violence.
I was bad God
Now Im scared
Please listen to me
Please God
Please answer my prayer
Do you feel the
Pain that I feel
Why the silence
Answer me
Do you hear me
Cryin' out loud
Are you listening
Answer me

Oscar Mascarenhas Poem
Im fighting for an answer
to the troubles of my life,
Im begging you father
put an end to my strife,
I've had enough of this
This is driving me mad
The hollow feeling inside
Tells me my soul is already dead
The fear is too harsh lord
I can't take it any more,
I elude sleep;
Coz my nightmares are gore,
Everyday is a new brawl
I try to get hold
of my pitiful life,
But the world's just too cold
Take a moment of your time
see what I've done to myself
Take a pause;
It's like Im living in hell
Yet you do nothing,
But I keep telling myself
Easy boy;
This crap, it probably ain't real
But unfortunately it is
Im done living a lie
Im a fighter, I will fight
I don't need you by my side
One step at a time
I will wipe off my shame
You bet I will
I will undo the blame
Yet I await
your answer lord
I need strength
I need strength
O' lord
Do you feel the
Pain that I feel
Why the silence
Answer Me
Do you hear me
Cryin' out loud
Are you listening
Answer Me
