Into the ocean we go
Oars smash into the water, flesh propelling wood. The waves crash over the bow as the first mate whispers sternly, “row men, row Row as if your very life depended on it, for it truly does. Fear not our bounty for he is merely a beast and we are men.” Twas we men who shaped the gifts of the forest and ventured out to conquer the sea. Tis we men who shall slay this mighty creature and be victorious...

Frankie knows best
A generation without a voice
Blinded and robbed of our freedom of choice
Desperate cries fall on deaf ears
Screaming our frustration but no one hears
Ive lost my soul
We lost our choice
Lost our souls
We’ve lost our voice
They invade our life
They read our thoughts
Make a stand
Forget me not
The choice is yours
They steal it away
Assert your voice
Every day

I always knew it would be you
Lost in a fog of mixed emotions
Where have I gone am I drowning in devotion?
I feel like Ive been swimming and swimming, trying to cross an ocean
Do I really think I can make it or am I just going through the motions?
Im screaming and crying to break through all the commotion
Am I silenced by apathy? Where did you get that notion?
I am who I am and that is all I can be
I’ll do what I...

A box beneath the bed
Your pictures haunt me in my sleep
star struck eyes searing a hole through to the back of my brain
White hot and scorching
leaving my thoughts boiling
If only it were you in this bed with me
Instead I hold her
while thinking of you
I can’t smell your hair
with hers in my face
I can’t taste your flesh
when she is in my mouth
And I can’t hear your breath
with her in my arms
I never...

Baby you're like a rocketship
I could strap myself to you and take a trip to mars
Baby you’re like a knock out punch

Hot lights and long nights Part THREE
And now you shall meet James, lover of Bethany and terror of the east side for the past seven years. James has been attempting to work his way to the top of the underworld, ever since his seventeenth birthday when he’d decided school was not for him. His ruthless aggression and total lack of compassion for human life had earned him respect on the streets, but had yet to earn him respect from his...

"Girls want guys to be themselves"
This is a lie,
unless you’re a cocky asshole with a brash and outgoing attitude.
If you’re shy and sensitive if you keep to yourself and keep quiet
You will largely be ignored by women
or you will make lots of female friends
You will be the guy they confide in, the guy they share secrets with
the guy they share blankets with sitting on the couch
while they tell you all about...

There are just too many of you to pay attention to
I don’t have the time to read all that you write
I wish that I could give you the attention you deserve
but it would mean neglecting my real life
and unlike so many of you
If I am to take your writing for truth
I have something all of you seek
I see so many posts
longing for lovers
dreaming of a home
You write of broken hearts
You write of broken dreams
You write with such truth

Lost is what I’d call it
To be found is what you need
Soon you must discover
Just who you want to be
You can’t be happy with someone else
until you’re happy alone
So go if you must
I’ll be waiting at home
Take as long as you must
Do whatever you need to do
And when you’re finished
I’ll be right here waiting for you
I know that you need this

Hot lights and long nights Part TWO
She had been playing the man for weeks now, ever since he’d approached her at the bar. She could tell right away he had money and a lot of it. The cut of his suit, the cufflinks on his wrists, even the scotch he drank was top shelf. As time went on she’d begun to see just how right she was. He was the mark theyd been looking for, this was the score of a lifetime. They’d been scrapping by...

Last chance for romance
Dear world, is this thing on?
Is anyone listening?
When is the last time you did something that meant anything?
Well this is your chance
The armies are gathering in the east and in the west
Here in the middle we must make our stand
Join us now and fight for all those you wish to save
Now is the time to make an impact
We seek lovers and leaders
Heroes and Kings
Warriors and Barbarians

If I am to be raptured
Enter the gates of paradise and feast on the bounty of the lord.
All men are welcome here, leave your sins at the door.
Come and hear tales of trials and tribulations.
All the treasures of the universe await you
All the knowledge of man and God.
A hunger that was once so great
A soul that was once so empty
Ravenous and cavernous
I thirst for fulfillment

Hot lights and long nights Part ONE
He ordered her another drink, making sure to tip generously and obviously. He was sure that he’d impressed her over the last few weeks, both with his wit and his fortune. He made sure to drop hints of his wealth into the conversation at every possible opportunity, mentioning his summer house in the Hamptons, his lodge in the wilderness of northern Maine. He told her stories of his jet set...
Sometimes I see a girl on the street
And I think to myself
Why isnt she making someone a sandwich right now.
But then I smile
because I realize
She is probably just on her way to the grocery store.

by our own creations
and how could we hope to rival the original
Leave it behind and come with me
More than ever we need these places

If I win your heart
Will you empty your purse?
I’ve grown out of groupies
I don’t need to get some ass
I am in this strictly for the cash.
If you like me its time to love me
And baby you dont need you just want me
I have nothing to offer you
but pleasure
You decide what that is worth.

This is a wake up call
But Im not sure I will
The lines have blurred and swirled
and my thoughts are joining them
I just keep typing
assuming I will be saved
But maybe all this time
What Ive been missing
is faith
And will you answer me now?
When I scream my loudest
Or have you moved on
Am I baby
Am I a lost cause
Do I fit that tired cliche
Do I become one of the forgotten
Will my words live on

You are all I think about. Think about me too.
You are the song I always sing
You are the one I aim to please
You are the only one I want
You are the only thing I need
You are the dream inside my head
You are the warmth I crave in bed
You are every line I write
You are every word Ive said
You are every scene I see
You are the love I hope to be
You are the air I wish to breath
You are everything to me

You can steal my words
and speak them to your lovers
for what is poetry worth
if not used by those in love
Sing my verses as if they were your own
And I will never say a word
If she falls for you

Days like today make me question His plan
I found a robotic cat on the side of the road. It was nearly brand new. This robotic cat could have brought so much joy to some poor child but instead it was put in the hands of some spoiled brat who just tossed it out on the side of the road.
If God loves us so much why do bad people prosper so greatly?

The lord my Saviour, oh great omnipotent creator.
You who gave life to all those I despise.
My love for you knows no bounds
Yet it was you who cast me underground.
Can you not see the irony? Can you not see the hypocrisy?
We who worship you with our whole being
Cast aside for a race who’s existence is so fleeting.
The rage I feel towards these insignificant little pests overtook my...

This is the last time I will address this
Because I am annoyed with the messages about it.
I won’t respond to anymore anonymous messages about TheVagabondKing and I.
I do not dislike Dennis, not at all.
I dislike his writing, so I do not follow him.
That seems to be a hard concept for some of you to grasp
If you dislike someone just don’t read what they write, it will give you more time for things you do enjoy.

HORRORS OF THE ABYSS
First off, forget everything you know. Its all wrong, you’ve been lied to. All those stories of things that go bump in the night, the make believe monsters, the tales to keep children on their best behavior. You’d be shocked to find out how many are based on fact. There is just one problem, the real beasts who haunt the shadows care not if you are a good girl or boy, brushing your teeth and...

What is it that thou would have me do?

Could thee assure total enlightenment, deliver pure bliss?

A Myspace blog from 2009
I had a dream about you last night. I dream about you almost every night. I cant remember all of, just a few random strange incidents. We were living together, but in an apartment type building, we had separate rooms. Chris and Greg lived there as well. The dream seemed to take part over several days, each night I would lay down on the couch so that Id wake up when you came home. One night you...

I awoke to the smell of bacon
I walked into the kitchen to see her standing at the stove
She wore nothing but an over sized T shirt she had pulled from my dresser
I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist, kissing the side of her neck just below her ear.
She moaned a bit and pressed herself against me
I felt my cock spring to life
I grabbed her roughly by the wrist and spun her around to face me

How can I feel this lonely
The orphanage sits atop a hill, overlooking hundreds of unmarked graves.
At night you can hear the children cry.
Unloved in life, forgotten in death.
Such is the life of the abandoned child.
No mommies kisses, no daddies smiles, just grief and heartache and a yearning to belong

I am fluent in bullshit
I can speak circles around your boundaries, manipulate my way into your mind.
My words are cold and calculated, I know just what buttons to push.
Im infuriating, alluring, alarming and enrapturing.
Im intimidating, comforting, charming and entrancing.
You hate that you love me and you love to hate me.
I am impossible to ignore.
Once I move entirely past the limitations of my already...

Today is the greatest day of your life
Scott Stevens awoke at nine am on the fourteenth of July, it was his twenty ninth birthday. His wife, Dora and twin daughters, Elise and Elena, age four, surprised him with breakfast in bed. He ate his favorite morning meal, a Denver omelette, a sliced orange, buttered toast, slightly burnt and a glass of orange juice.
His daughters made his heart melt with their handmade cards and gifts....

I can not deal with groups of people
Or social interaction with strangers or people I hardly know
I am a concert promoter, tour manager, band manager and front man for a few bands
So this poses a problem
So I take a few drinks before I go out
Just a few
Enough to make me relax
I have been told this is a big sign of alcoholism
Drinking to feel normal
Or to deal with social situations
But it helps me get through

I do not believe in your God
I do believe in a god, but not a god that you can give a name to. I do not adhere to one particular religion but I would call myself spiritual. When I pray I do not pray to God, Jesus, Allah or Krishna.
I pray to the world around me.
I feel most at peace when surrounded by the beauty of the earth. Some of my most lucid moments have come surrounded by trees that reach so high you’d...

Goodbye Robert Varga
A young man whom I always admired
Who let his honesty and true self shine through in each post
Whom I from a distance enjoyed
and then after getting to know him adored
I am sure he will turn up again
To entertain us all
But until then I will miss him
With a part of me not so small
I will miss his quirky sense of humor
lighting up my dash from time to time
I will miss the clever way

It seems weird for a station which broadcasts mostly pure garbage like Jersey Shore and Teen Mom to have any sort of music related awards show.

Her hair
Her hair aflame, colors of red and gold
ignites the passion deep within my soul
Her eyes of wisdom shine so bright
reminds of childhood and all things right
Her laughter so pure, entrancing my heart

Her smile intoxicates in ways drinks can not
I inhale the sight of her to make pain stop
The only drug I’ll ever need to keep my head above

This is a poem about love
The thunderous clatter of steel on steel drowns out every sound but one, the screams of men as they are drained of their life force.
The once green grass has been stained brown with blood, the river at the edge of the field runs red.
The desire for power and influence drives men to concoct devious plots meant to destroy and enslave.
The wealthy wish to be wealthier and will sacrifice any life...
