What Is Love? (A V-Day Message From Da ThRONe)

February 15th 2010

Hey Sock Heads,
NWSO took the day off to enjoy President’s Day so you’ve got another dose of genius from me today. Being that yesterday was Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d show a side of myself people here rarely see.
Most of you probably don’t know, but in my younger days I wanted to be a [...]

Have You Ever Loved the Wrong Person? (Self-Mutilation)

January 14th 2010

Each time I loved the wrong person,
It was like a labor of self-mutilation…
Each time my I-love-yous went unrequited,
It was as if I were slitting my own wrists with those stagnated words…
Each time I slid the condom on before I made love to her,
It was like putting a noose around my own neck…
Each thrust inside her [...]

Taste Your Love (I Want To Lick You Like a Ice Cream Cone)

December 9th 2009

Our love
Was like a pint
Of Häagen-Dazs
Coffee ice cream
Because her taste
Was addictive
Each time she touched my lips
It was like a shot
Of caffeine
Hitting my bloodstream

Through My Eyes (Do You Have a Good Self-Image?)

December 2nd 2009

She liked the way she looked
Through my eyes
Because I didn’t look at her
Like her Father, her Ex
Or, even how she looked at herself
She liked the way she looked
Through my eyes
Because when I laid eyes on her
I saw what no one else would
What no one else could
She liked the way she looked
Through my eyes
Because I looked [...]

When I’m Horny (How Do You Quench Your Carnal Desires?)

October 21st 2009

When I’m horny…
I have difficulty sleeping at night. It feels like all the blood in my veins just rushes to my lower region, engorging me until I’m as hard as a lead pipe.
When I’m horny…
Being alone in my bed becomes the most difficult thing in the world. I toss and turn until I grip my [...]

What It Feels Like to Kiss Me (Are You a Good Kisser?)

October 7th 2009

She wanted to know why I never kissed her. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to. It wasn’t because I didn’t desire to. It wasn’t because I hadn’t fantasized about our tongues being intertwined in a passionate embrace.
It was because I knew she wasn’t ready.
The truth is, I am not a good kisser.
No, I am [...]

#59 You Can Be Flawed (Do You Believe in a Perfect Mate?)

September 20th 2009

You can be flawed
Because, honestly, who isn’t?
We each carry emotional baggage from one relationship to the next
Until the load becomes too much for one person to carry
But maybe
We can lift this together
You can be flawed
Because I don’t want to change you
I accept you the way you are (flaws and all)
But if you want to be [...]

#57 Faded Picture (How Do You Hold On To Memories?)

September 19th 2009

There was a beautiful picture we once took.
It was impromptu.
Not posed in the slightest.
In fact, my face is hardly seen in the frame.
Only a portion of my bearded jaw line is visible.
Locks tied up and flowing down my back.
Half of a hearty laugh frozen in time on my face.
Her face is aglow.
Toothy smile.
Eyes wide open.
Joy [...]

#49 The Warmest Winter (How Quickly Does Love Fade?)

September 15th 2009

On our first night together
It snowed
So she told me that every time fluffy white fell from the heavens
She would think of me/we/us
As the cold days of winter progressed
So did our connection
Blustery days were blessings
Frigid forecasts were fulfilling
Eventually the flowers began to bloom
And that spelled doom for me/we/us

#47 Can You Forgive and Forget? (I’m Sorry)

September 14th 2009

I’m far from an angel. No matter how much of a “good guy” I may appear or claim to be, I’ve still had my dark moments. I’ve done or said things that I regret. I have made mistakes. I am not perfect. I’m only human.
As I reflect on my life and where I’m going I [...]

#19 Why Do Mothers & Daughters Fight? (We Need To Cry)

August 31st 2009

FLASHBACK
Date: Sunday, September 17, 2006
Location: The Olive Garden, Times Square
Action!
As I sit here, with the two women I love most in this world
It hurt me to see my sister cry
Her poor little eyes turned red as she stares out into the Midtown traffic
Trying to hide the shame of her pain

#01 Angels With Broken Wings (Life, Death & In Between)

August 22nd 2009

On my way to swim class the other day, I noticed something disturbing. The train station I was at was above ground and birds tend to fly back and forth through the rafters.
Once I found a comfortable perch on the platform to await the train, I began to survey the trash strewn aimlessly across the [...]
