Legendary Poetry: In Latin we call it Dolor
In Latin we call it Dolor I look around the masses, the groups, the cliques, the couples, the individuals and notice what appears to be their fair lives. Lives so unlike the existence that I endure. So many people. And yet I am in pain. So much time. And yet I am in pain. So many places. And yet I am in pain. So many opportunities. And yet I am in pain.

Legendary Short Stories: My love is a sunflower
My love is a sunflower It was the single most, greatest, most wonderful feeling in the world AND I was living it. Just when I had given up hope on ever being with a woman, there she was right before me. We had no idea of what was to happen to us as the hours and days would progress. To be honest with you, I was just looking for a friend and so . It wasn't long before our friendship took root and without either of us knowing, like a small seed planted in rich soil and nourished with a healthy dose of water, our love began to blossom.

Legendary Short Stories
Is there anybody out there? "It would seem the answer is no," I told myself dejectly. The pain I experienced at this notion grew and grew and so I consulted experts with the hopes that they would cure me of the pain of my loneliness. "There is no pain," I was told. "It's only in your head," the doctors, experts, and specialists reason blankly to me. "I guess that's why I have become comfortably numb," I thought curiously to myself. "Okay," I thought, "I will just get through this damned day by sure determination and frustrated cowardice," I said to myself as tears well up in my barren black eyes as I cried out:

The Rocking Life
A day in the life of a metal head... He picked out his favorite album: Countdown to Destruction by Megadeth. He wasn't going to fuck around so he put the needle directly on the channel that led to his favorite song on his favorite album: Symphony of Destruction. Fuck yeah, he thought as he heard the electric guitars growl, the bass thump rhythmically, the drums beat out the time, and the singer wail,

Legendary Poetry
Follow Me (Inspired by the perfect woman that I have yet to meet) Follow me. Follow me to wherever we may go. To places where the highs are so incredible that they take our breath away. To places I dare not go without you, as I could never fathom the possibility of going there without you. You see, I need you and you need me too.

Legendary Short Stories
Try a little tenderness... She may be weary. He may be weary. Many people feel that way; especially, the forlorn and desolate at heart. I am that kind of person and maybe you are too. We mope around and hope for a little tenderness. And those of us who have nobody but ourselves look into our lonely mirrors and wonder when that special person is going to come into their lives and make everything better, when that person will hold our precious hands, when that person will hold us close, when they will gently kiss us and tell us that they love us, when that person will uplift our restless souls and try a little tenderness.

The Lone Biker He was a loner and always was. He never fit into society in any role except one: This dude was an outlaw biker. He didn't fit into any of the usual biker gangs though. They just didn't get him. Sure, he enjoy an ice cold beer with a few of his choice, select friends but they were loners just like him. Like this dude, they rode alone.
