    Eh. The feels in Metal are more for Prog Death and Black Metal/Doom Metal bands anyway. The most recent Triptykon record is very much a "Feel Metal" album. :lol:

    Bit of feminist piece this one. I kind of had of had a specific topic in mind on this, but can really be applied to any topic of gender inequality.

    One Life Ruined

    Let's derail
    this fucked up train of thought
    You wouldn't have it that way
    Why would they

    Get off your soapbox
    There's so many dues to pay
    Let's stop pretending
    this shit is ok
    I wish a swift death to this clichè

    Our time in the dirt
    has come and passed
    Your day in the sun
    cannot last
    Blame the victim
    Innocent my ass

    No excuse
    one life ruined
    It should be you
    Cry all you like
    there is no match
    for the the misery
    You've managed to brew

    A br00tal, trve kvlt piece this one.

    Horn of Gehenna

    The sound of war rolls down the hills
    The beats of drums
    pump the heart of aimless malice

    The ground quakes underneath
    the feet of elephants that march forth
    with scent of blood wafting from broken tusks

    Hatred trails through mountains
    Tattered Flags of bloodlust fly high
    in pride and search of desolation

    Hear the piercing call
    The horn of Gehenna hails
    The reign of malevolence is nigh

    Have a poem about hippie sex.

    Hold me tight
    as we walk through the clouds

    Kiss me up and down
    As we run our fingers through the stars

    Feel all of me
    as we lay amongst the Gods of yesterday

    Love me all around
    as colors streak across the sky

    Dance close
    to the rhythm of the moon

    Stay close
    As we sleep in the pedals of the golden blossom

    My entry for my writing forum's monthly competition. It was nice cause the topic kind of fell right into my current life story :)

    A Hammer and Heels

    One room white
    One room black

    Broken and divided
    So uncontent with where I am at

    Screw that noise
    Time to pull out my toys

    Grab your hammer and heels
    Let's tear down their holy ideals

    Smeared makeup and broken nails
    are fine by me

    I’ll bring down the walls
    with an anarchic glee

    Dusty dress and torn tights
    But no time to change

    There’s no color here
    I find it much too deranged

    Just a dull shade of gray
    I find it rather strange

    Break out the paint
    No brushes needed

    Or I’ll do you one better
    I’ll follow the instructions to the letter

    Wouldn't want the fireworks
    going off a moment too soon

    It’s not like I’ve been waiting to swoon
    In the wreckage of tradition

    It’s not like I’ve been waiting to dance
    In the flames of perdition

    Never mind me skipping away
    With my can of gasoline

    I’m trying not to make scene
    I'm just trying to look fabulously mean

    with my hammer and heels

    Ashes of Sanctuary

    I'm burning this place to the ground
    My only sanctuary
    To these cold streets I am bound

    Stuck in the rain
    A self evoked torrent
    Chained to the pain

    But the fire won't die
    It burns my life away
    No matter how I cry

    Under the bridge
    I take my shelter
    To take in the sad vestige

    All in my own head
    I breathe in the ash
    and down in all the unsaid

    You won't like hearing this but it's a compliment. :lol:

    Can imagine it being a Bastille song. Some "Get Home"/"Durban Skies" vibe in there that I really like.

    Ok, first story I've written in a pretty good while. Just a shirt little comedic piece. Watutink?


    The Moon was full, illuminating the fog that ran it's sly fingers through the deeply wooded forest. At the highest point of the Natharak Forest stood a clearing of dark ritual. There lied Laurien, bound to the altar, not by chain, but by spell. Sadek stands tall over the over his enemy and soon to be sacrifice.

    "Let me go, you bastard. When my clan finds you they will tear you limb from limb!" She yells, her voice echoes through the forest. Sadek laughs at the very proposition that he might be defeated.

    "You foolish girl. Your blood is all I need and the dark army will be at my command."

    "Damn you, you'll never win. " Laurien proclaims. Sadek tilts his head back and laughs.

    "Fire spell!" Her attack spell can't break the binding spell. Sadek's Defenses are too strong.

    "Time to end this." Sadek pulls Grishnack's dagger out of its sheath. He walks to the altar and raises the blade high over his head.

    "Black Knights, join me as I give this gift to you!" Laurien can only look on in horror as he PLUNGES GRISHNACK'S DAGGER STRAIGHT...

    "AAAAAAchOOOOOOO!"

    "Damn it! Greg! You ruined the moment!" Bobby yells. Greg pulls out his medicine and takes two shots of nasel spray.

    "Sorry... Allergies." Greg says through clogged sinuses.

    "Don't be sorry, Greg. Bobby was totally going to kill me." Sarah explains with her infamous lisp.

    "You don't know that! I didn't get to finish!" Bobby was the relatively normal one. He just took his favorite games and comics way too seriously. The jocks don't generally look too kind on that. Greg was short and skinny, he looked more like he had escaped from the Bollman middle school and took shelter in it's sister high school across the street. He always had some sort of ailment, Allergies, asthma, cold, flu. The poor kid was a walking germ factory. Sarah was a little taller than Greg, but no less skinnier. She was mostly made fun of for her braces, glasses, and terrible lisp. Of course, if the kids ever got bored enough, nerdy was a perfectly acceptable excuse to rough any of them up.

    Greg slaps his palms down on the table and takes in a very overly dramatic breath. The other two just kind of sheepishly look at him.

    "Can I please finish?"

    "Hang on, let me grab a soda. " Greg says pushing himself from the table. Bobby groaned, once again quite dramatically, and thuds his head on the table. Only picking it up to evil eye Greg.

    "Are we ready?"

    "yeah." The other two say in unison as Greg sits back down and cracks open his soda.

    "Time to end this." Sadek pulls out Grishnack's dagger out of its sheath. He walks to the altar and raises the blade high over his head.

    "Black Knights, join me as I give this gift to you!" Laurien can only look on in horror as he PLUNGES GRISHNACK'S DAGGER STRAIGHT DOWN...

    "FLAMING ARROW!"

    "Wait what are doing Greg?" Bobby asks, quite agitated. "You're down at the gates of Borgir!"

    "But my last roll put me on the Pass of Gaahl. And by mere coincidence I find Laurien's locket of enchantment. Knowing she would never just drop it, I investigate. Using my illumination magic, I track Nader Sadek to the altar. I hid myself, peering through the brush, waiting for the right moment to attack. SADEK LIFTS HIS DAGGER TO DELIVER THE FINAL BLOW AND UNLOCK HELL'S ARMY AND THAT'S WHEN I... " Right then, a belch so horrid and Vile sounds off from around the corner. Sarah, Greg, and Bobby all look at each other in horror, eyes wide as saucers. Timothy.

    "Hey, dweebs. Playing that stupid game again?"

    "Uh... We don't... We..." Bobby sputters as his intimidating older brother walks in to the kitchen. Tall, thick, and burley, he stares down at the others and laughs at the board. He walks past to the far end of the table, away from the others. He pulls out the chair and plops down, propping his feet up on the table.

    "Mom says we..."

    "Shut up geek... Roll me in. Sadek has arrived."
