Oscar

By Ashleylister @ashleylister
If only there was time to see everybody all the time, then nobody could judge anybody else for being a fool. 

This is not a quote, I couldn't remember one so I tried to think of what Oscar Wilde, one of the great wits and observers of times gone by, would have said looking back on this life from this distance. 

His life is one of fascination for being so different to our own today and yet connects with us because on the unfairness that brought about his downfall.


Oscar

Wilde are the dreamsAgeing picture still not seenImagine the paper cutWords used to draw last blood
Wilde are the thoughtsBeauty gazed upon in open courtDracula's sire taking your loveWords remembered are but enough
Wilde are the journeysWorlds absorbed through minds attorneyThe importance of friends advice royalWords against actions foolishly ignored 
Wilde are the accusationsTruth of ones soul lies forsakenUndeniable the presence of anotherWords betrayal of the lover
Wilde are the windsDistant now the past life's sinsBroken like the rocks of hard labourWords in stone mark your sleep
