 <title>I am the Sun Wrestling Night</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2008/02/i-am-the-sun-wrestling-night</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am the sun. I am the sky. I am the wind. I am the whisper of the trees. I am the dancer in the dark. I am the melody that plays somewhere in the mountains, hail Carolina, hail Carolina - I&#039;m coming home. Traffic is slow. Time is fleeting. My eyes stray to the horizon where Asheville glows with morning light. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cigarette smoke. FM radio. Static on the airwaves.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Euphoria</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2008/02/euphoria</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Euphoria, OH! Euphoria, my God! Euphoria!&lt;br /&gt;
El-ek-tr-ik-si-te in my body, in my soul, in the soil raging from&lt;br /&gt;
Lightning storm of dust and blood, OH!&lt;br /&gt;
Wake me up! Bravo! Bravo!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Echo Immortal! Echo Immortal... Echo Immortal!&lt;br /&gt;
The dogs of war at my heels, all hail the dogs of war!&lt;br /&gt;
Hear the bells of Gemini ringing forever! Trumpets sound! Echo echo.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Citadel of Stars and Other Wonders of the Sky</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2008/01/the-citadel-of-stars-and-other-wonders-of-the-sky</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is here, inside of me. Illuminating the tangent soul.&lt;br /&gt;
It is here, deep within me, giving radiance to flesh and bone.&lt;br /&gt;
It is here, screaming from the balconies of the Citadel of Stars&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wanting.&lt;br /&gt;
Needing. Praying.&lt;br /&gt;
Living.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It gives me hope&lt;br /&gt;
And meaning.&lt;br /&gt;
Like Edison, I marvel at electricity&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Light the way. Light the way. Set the torches ablaze&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Answer</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2007/12/the-answer</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is here, hiding just beneath the flesh&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is here, swirling in this blood&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is here, filling my lungs with air&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is here, beating within my chest&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is here, sleeping underneath my fingernails&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is here, in the electricity that dances in my head&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is here... it is here... it is here...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now the wind is whispering, speaking of it&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>The Blinding Light. The Octopus Charm. Solace</title>

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;step into this blinding light and&lt;br /&gt;
lose control&lt;br /&gt;
of the lightning storm&lt;br /&gt;
caught in your bones&lt;br /&gt;
that still screams&lt;br /&gt;
from every corner, and every&lt;br /&gt;
scattered edge&lt;br /&gt;
of your soul&lt;br /&gt;
trying to be heard&lt;br /&gt;
over the gunfire and the bombs&lt;br /&gt;
that burn away the sky&lt;br /&gt;
and the soil&lt;br /&gt;
leaving only the smoldering shadows&lt;br /&gt;
of those touched by&lt;br /&gt;
atomic gods&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;can we save man(kind)&lt;br /&gt;
from his most terrible&lt;br /&gt;
enemy&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Ghosts and Paradimes</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2006/09/ghosts-and-paradimes</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;I had to write this for my english class... It&#039;s a narritive&lt;br /&gt;
descriptive essay. It&#039;s what happened between me and Jason&lt;br /&gt;
one night. I miss him alot and I remember this being a special&lt;br /&gt;
night for us.. so I tried fairly hard to make this as good as&lt;br /&gt;
possible. I figured maybe someone would get a kick out of reading&lt;br /&gt;
it *shrug* Enjoy.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>My Little Loki</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2006/09/my-little-loki</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ricky and I talked today for about seven hours... my phone bill is&lt;br /&gt;
going to be outrageous, that aside... He asked me if I would save myself&lt;br /&gt;
for him until he moves down to Asheville, if I would wait and let him be&lt;br /&gt;
the next guy I date...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&#039;s such a strange concept, and it&#039;s really hard for me to understand&lt;br /&gt;
completely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m not entirely sure what to do about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On another note, Michael and Havis (and probably Richie) will no longer&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Abram of Poisoned Eyes</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2006/09/abram-of-poisoned-eyes</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waiting here, null and devoid of life, standing sentinel over changing seasons&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fevered hands and severed voices calling from scattered bastions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Scales tipped and turned on their side, the weight of life falling over broken shoulders&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hollow creation scarred by wounds of light spilling down from poisoned eyes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These Angels in their lust did wed and bring forth polluted sacrament&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On high with wings spread, shadows chilling mortal flesh, freezing shattered hands&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Journies Through the Shadows, Clinging to old Ghosts and Holding Fast to Hope</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2006/09/journies-through-the-shadows-clinging-to-old-ghosts-and-holding-fast-to-hope</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m finally in Asheville, living in my new apartment and going to college...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kinda strange to think I&#039;m actually here when a few months ago I was&lt;br /&gt;
nearly on the verge of getting lost in the system and working a pathetic&lt;br /&gt;
9 to 5 job in the middle of a town I loathed with every fiber of my&lt;br /&gt;
being... Now I&#039;m just working 9-5 in Asheville.. I guess it&#039;s the same&lt;br /&gt;
really.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ashe is a weird place... with weirder people... and even weirder stuff going,&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;This guardian of treasured doors and irreverasable pathways stands sentinel&lt;br /&gt;
Roads of scattered light drifting off into the hearts of severed stars&lt;br /&gt;
Where light and metal take shape and motion, fire burning into copper and scorched steel&lt;br /&gt;
Arrows cast as falling stars loosing the blue as they throw themselves into eyes scarred by telescopes&lt;br /&gt;
Ruin the architect and the dreamer, ruin the artist and the lover, ruin the earth in reclamation&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>the Universe Spins and We Remain Inanimate</title>
 <link>http://www.oasisjournals.com/2006/07/the-universe-spins-and-we-remain-inanimate</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;I honestly can&#039;t even remember the last time I checked this site,&lt;br /&gt;
mostly because I haven&#039;t had a reason too; I guess in alot of ways it&lt;br /&gt;
just reminded me of how miserable most of us are.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are so many people lost in that decadent struggle of finding love,&lt;br /&gt;
becoming nearly obessed with the thought of having someone to hold and kiss,&lt;br /&gt;
to touch and maybe more I guess. It&#039;s an intoxication that we seemingly&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;Darkness and light entwining, radiant hands clasping drowning shadows&lt;br /&gt;
This paradox sustaining as catalyst energies remain ambient; quietly suffocating&lt;br /&gt;
Voiceless, these titans raise their arms in union to trace scars across heaven&lt;br /&gt;
Burning the sky to drape themselves in a mantle of flames&lt;br /&gt;
The world screaming beneath their eyes as they cut the planet into fragments&lt;br /&gt;
Dividing the metal and ash, forests and earth, rivers and oceans&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;That which was lost, shall be found -- That which was broken shall be in fact mended -- That which was taken shall be returned -- That which has fallen shall rise -- That which has damned shall be forgiven -- That which was hated, shall be in fact loved&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Interesting little quote I found written into the lowest brick on a wall I pass by every day at school. I can&#039;t entirely explain what in God&#039;s name I was doing to find it, but I did. It makes me wonder who wrote it there.. and why? Who would go out of their way to put that quote into the hardest to find spot on a brick wall? Maybe it&#039;s just a message for those who find it? Who knows. Interesting anyway though.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;****************************************************&lt;br /&gt;
There&#039;s a dancer in Manhatten, moving in rhythm to the thunderstorms; taking steps in time with the rain. [Leaping with the cascades -- turning with the lightning, twisting and bending with the thunder]&lt;br /&gt;
~*~***~&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There are lovers lost within themselves, pushing one another down into the grass, letting the reeds touch bare flesh, the rain soak hair and cool heated movement [Thunderblasts echo as heartbeats]&lt;/p&gt;
