I’m not in a good place; I have been trapped here for far too long. This place is not bad. I’ve lived in bad, I’ve crawled half dead out of bad. This is simply empty, a vast expanse of nothing. An emptiness of spirit, an emptiness of emotion, an emptiness of soul, I walk without end, no trace of a step to show where I’ve been. Nothing around me changes that would suggest I am making any meaningful progress. It just stays the same … no matter where I turn; no matter how far or fast I go The silent void surrounds me with the same muted color, the same flat ground leading to a far of horizon of gray and brown.

Trapped
Oh, I have never looked so good running in armor thru the woods Adept with blade or mace And I know a little magic which for foes is rather tragic (it’s a perk for my race) Be it mountain peak or ocean swell thru rocky hill and grassy dell nothing slows my pace Many Quests I need to finish there’s Evil I must diminish (And weapons to replace) Every belonging I have owned I have bartered, won or stole Hording gold just in case I’m constantly slashed, bashed and burned by dragons, wildlife and Curs with no fear on my face Though I have skills that get me by There are occasions that I’ve died Thank god for the last “save” I will keep right on playing leveling buy quests and slaying in my CGI escape January 2012

Inspired by MMORPG - In particular "Skyrim"
There are times I wish I could step into yesterday Where weekends meant all I had to do was play When I still believed in God and Santa Clause And it was so easy to know right from wrong Stories taught me morals, what is, what was And eventually I would live happily ever after in love 2011 Black Dragon Logo & Design

Yesterday
A bird with a bright plumed tail Befriended a fish with golden scales Together they would chitchat late into the night Of a world under water, and a world in the sky. In time the bird grew fond of the fish with golden scales While the fish fell in love with the bird with a bright plumed tail. “Come share my world!” asked the fish with delight The bird only said, “Getting wet don’t feel right.” “Then take me with you,” the fish would implore. Fond as he was, the bird thought even that a chore. The bird would fly from tree to tree While the fish, with him, longed to be. With other birds he would fly far and wide And the fish could only watch and cry. Further and further the bird would fly Leaving the fish for days at a time. Denied a world without his friend the fish soon died. The bird lamenting, “ I could not love him as he did I.” I hear your sorrow oh bird with the bright plumed tail Replied an owl awoke by his wail. He knew you could not live with him in the sea And he to STAY with you that could not be. You told him of worlds he wanted to know And listened while he talked of his home. And when he needed to have more You found his pleas so easy to ignore. The sun and clouds he desired to see He needed you to just be his wings The thrill of flight was yours to give If not your love then just that gift

A Bird with a Bright Plumed Tail
Texts and Posts and Blogs galore I must read, reply, comment, or ignore Symbols, Emoticons, Internet Slang, l33t What I read and write I can't even speak What Hero, What Color, What God, What Sign Profiles, Quizzes, Lists, Fan of and Pages are how I'm defined. 500 friends, 100 requests, an invite and dozens of tweets Day in and day out come and go on my phone and PC Yet at the end of the day when the screens go dim I sleep alone never having acutally touched or spoken to any of them.

Hello? Is anyone there ...
CAST: Dr. Pepper Captain Morgan Tatoo Grey Goose & Kalua M. Raymond Villamor IN A DRUNK INSPIRED RHYME And the Doctor takes me under as the Captain begins to sail ... And my emotions start to drift - shall it be heaven or will it be hell? And the Doctor tipped the bottle to make shots more and more ... While the Captain weighed the anchor far from distant shore So now I sit floating, feeling numb and asking what it's all for ... Maybe the answers will come tomorrow ... but tonight I'm just not sure. And the Doctor dripped his happy poison as the Captain cut another wake ... So I sailed upon the Doctor’s highs and Captain’s choppy waves The Doctor finally had to quit ... medicine he had no more ... And the Capt's ship ran aground into the rocky shore ... So I befriended some Black Russians to keep from being bored. I just was not ready in sobriety to be moored And the Russians took me in and in their grip I drifted off to sleep All my sorrows and all my pain till the morrow it would keep

To the Captain ... and the Doctor.
You say there is no honesty, endure that everyone lies Truth offends, so hide it, it happens all the time. Don’t be hurt when your friends are less then true It’s the way it’s always been, there’s nothing you can do. I cannot deny that lies abound, as well as hate and spite but just because that is so, does it make it right? What good is honor if one does not stand for what is true? How is one chivalrous if they can merely pick and choose? If lies are all there is … and truth is something earned then why trust the light, when all it shall do is burn? If pain is what I can expect from enemy and friend then life is pain, a pain that will never ever end. Will honesty become nothing more than just another myth? If there is no loyalty, then it truly does not exsist. How much must be destroyed, how much must we forget until we realize that there is more than chaos would suggest. When truth is nothing more then burned ash upon the wind what dies next, what will be repressed in our apathetic grip? Will love fade away, our faith be lost or will hope just disappear? For there doesn’t seem too much cause for man to keep them near.

Honesty
What solace is there in darkness? When angels never leave the light For their doors so bright dissolve at night And then the demons come to call. When awareness slips to slumber The mind unfettered won’t stay calm When Nox recalls - I relive it all I must feel the pain once more. How many more nights must I dread How long will I be forced to see When will the memory be kept from me I don't want to cry anymore
