I'm back





I know its been a long while since I posted here but I have had a lot of crap going on, from crazy room mates threatening my life, to relationship problems, to people I thought were myf riends basically stabbing me in the back. but now all the drama seems to be dying down to a minimal so I will be here on a regular basis to share my thoughts on all things gothy, my poetry, and a myriad of other things. I also just got a new camera phone so I will be sharing not only photos that I find on the web but also my own photography from time to time .

Fear the Twang


Gotta Love Lenore.

Destroyer of Souls



Well he has to have something to do when he has time off. 

Goth Love Songs - Part 2 -Into the Never




We had songs about love that would never die, here we have songs for those who have lost a love. Whether through death, or a break up losing the one you love is never easy.

1. VNV Nation - From my hands: When its time to say goodbye and both hearts are breaking. 

2. VNV Nation - Beloved: Evokes images of being in a cemetery at a lovers tombstone.

3. VNV Nation - The Great Divide: Reminiscent of a loved one telling us goodbye as they are going into the light. 

4. VNV Nation - Forsaken:  The pain and torment we feel when we are left behind. "The day you died I lost my way, he day you died I lost my mind"

5. Bella Morte - Christina: A song that reminds me of someone I lost several years ago. 

6. Bella Morte - cant let this die: Song about watching loves burning flame die down to nothing more than a smoldering ash

7. Bella Morte - Soma: Song about dealing with the aftermath of someone that you love betraying you

8. Within temptation - What have you done: Another gothic metal band but a great emotional song about betrayal.

I'm not done with this list by far but this is a good start. what are some of your favorite songs about love. Either being happily in love or dealing with the loss.

Goth love songs - Part 1 - Togetherness


Lets start on the positive side with the most romantic songs for goth couples. 

1. Inkubus Sukkubus - Prince of Shadows: Is there any more romantic line in a song than "Your life has so much sorrow, let me take one moment of your pain" 

2. Inkubus Sukkubus - Vampyra: Gotta love a song where the female is the dominating figure in any relationship.

3. Blutengel - Angel of the Night: Song about a girl professing her never dying love for her man whether he is near or far from her. 

4. The Cure - Friday I'm In love: I would be remiss if I didn't mention The Cure on this list as they have always been one of the greatest goth bands out there. 

5. The Cure - Love Song: Another song about a love so strong that no matter how near or far it will outlast time

6. The Cure - Just like heaven: Another quintessential love song from Robert Smith and Company.

7. Type O Negative - Love you to death: Ok so they are more goth metal than goth rock still they were an awesome band and every girl would want to have her guy obey her every wish and worship at her feet.

8. The Cruxshadows - A Promise made: A beautiful song about finding a love that will last into eternity.

9. Blutengel - Cry Little Sister: Its a cover of  the song from The Lost Boys. 

10. Judas Priest - Love Bites: Ok, Ok, so they aren't even close to being goth but this song is defiinitely goth friendly and is about a vampiric embrace. To me that screams romantic and besides I had to put Priest on the list as they are one of the metal bands that I would go see in concert. 

11. Blue Oyster Cult - Don't fear the reaper: Another song by a non goth band but still the song is very gothically inclined. 

12. Clan of Xymox - At the End of the day: Ok back to the goth music. This time we have a song telling of a guy who thinks of his girl all day while away from her.

13. Clan of Xymox - Tonght: Another love song from Clan Of Xymox

We Are Strong





There's a rumor going around that boys are tougher than girls. Oh please. Can you carry a 10lb baby in your stomach for 9 months and survive hours of labor. Can you cook, clean,and talk on the phone all at the same time? Can you bleed for a week and not die? Can you walk in 5 inch heels? Can you cry all night then wake the next day like everything is okay? Remember guys, women are only helpless till their nail polish dries. Put this on your blog or facebook wall if your proud to be a woman

Betrayal





In life there are people who will claim to be your friend, say they have your back, and would never let you down. Then the first chance they get they stick a knife right in the center of your back. They rip your heart out of your chest and make your soul bleed. As you lay there dying, withering to nothingness, they are laughing at your anguish, and at your pain. You're begging, you're pleading for them to make the pain stop they refuse to lend a hand, they wont even offer one, just one drop of blood to save your life. Not even as the abyss wraps its slimy tentacles around you extinguishing your last breath. Your body lies there growing cols, and they stand there laughing. They're still laughing.

Lies




People lie. Its a fact of life. They tell you one thing then either try to renig, or they do something completely different without even letting you know. Don't fool yourself. Don't fool yourself. Everyone does it. Friends, family, sisters brothers mothers fathers daughters sons wives and husbands. There are even times when we lie to ourselves. I mean think about it, how many times have we all made promises to ourselves that we would go on a diet, be a better friend parent or spouse, that we would stick to our budget this time? From the smallest white lie to the biggest lie ever told, the bible, we believe as well as tell lies. What is worse is when people lie to us and they don't even care how we feel when they try to renig or when they are found to be liars and our hearts are broken, or we rage with anger. There is no remorse, and no apologies. Because they simply don't care and are only thinking of what they want and how to do it or how to get it. Its simply the truth, people lie and they don't care about the consequences or who it hurts.



(Pay close attention to the image, the word liar creates a face when you look at it just right)

Angry Kitty




 I know how this lil guy feels

Loves Lament





surrounded by death I sat alone
I wondered if you would come
tears streamed down my lonely face
KNowing once I was two, now I sit as one
My black heart broken but still beating like a drum
My mind clouded by a painful haze
Night drew closer still I sat alone
No words were spoken no gestures made
and now that meadow is where our love shall forever lay

Disrespect



Disrespect. It comes in many different forms. Some are subtle, others are blatent. Still none of it is acceptable. The utter disregard for the feelings of others, especially friends and family creates dissension and tears apart relationships.Lies are a huge form of disrespect.

Trust

Trust. Its a very complex and delicate thing. Its something not so easily given, but it can be shattered in a mere moment. Trust is based on blind faith. It really is no different than the blind faith that we place in gods goddesses angels and demons. The same blind faith that we place on the idea that the moon will set every morning and the sun will rise. However, when we give others our trust we put ourselves at risk of being hurt. It makes us vulnerable. The question we must ask ourselves is - Is it worth putting ourselves in such a position and if we do are we ready for the ride ahead and whatever may lie on the other end of the road it takes is down.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog. This is the first attempt at one for me so it may take a bit to get used to. This will revolve around  my thoughts on various things, my poetry, and gothy stuff as I have been a goth for the most of my life
