Amaranth Verses

Under the ebon sky we stood, My voice shook in the cool autumn wind. I felt the world draw in around us, Struggling to come up with the words I yearned to speak. Now here my voice shakes again, And those words elude me still. In their place lies but a simple question. What would it be like to touch the sky? Take my hand and let’s find out. We can stride across the clouds themselves; Feel the sunlight from the other side. But why stop there? Our hearts can tour the stars, And cross eternity we can soar. My voice no longer shakes, And those words come to me clear as day. They are but three simple words. I love you.

The Paths We Choose

As I stare down this road I see naught but haze. Endless choice and pallid dismay 'tis what stands before my gaze. My mind is awash with distant fears, That my journey may well end in tears. But even here within this ebon dark, I can see a subtle spark. As a candle is to the sun, This spark is but a little one. Yet to me it is as bright as any star, And I know its light will guide me far. At the end of my path this faint flicker beams, Standing as a beacon leading to my dreams.

Goddess's Grace by Zinc-Tails, literature

Goddess's Grace

Upon this world we all do walk, May we take this time to talk? Hear the gentle spring time winds, On which the sprites do fly. Feel the soothing verdant grass, Tis here the wolves will lie. Taste the forests fine fresh bounty, From which the fey will eat. Gaze upon the mighty oaks, Under which the dryads do meet. For what I speak of is the Goddess's grace, And is open to all who seek this place.

Changling Queen by Zinc-Tails, literature

Literature

Changling Queen

With false vows and a twisted smile, She sought domination through her guile. Hoofsteps light and crown so royal'd, By what force could her plan be foiled? Ghastly spells and emerald eyes, Were but precursors to the grand surprise! Furious hooves sought to end the fun, Arrived too late, for the parties just begun! Silent wedding bells seem to weep, As the tears of a fallen God began to seep. She fed from the well of the loving heart, But its power had yet to play its true part. With the violent flash of two hearts near, The dark lady tasted a new emotion, fear. Cast from the realm, filled with rage, How long till this grim a

Lair King by Zinc-Tails, literature

Literature

Lair King

Chain our thoughts, And bind our souls. Make us prisoner to the liar king! From birth they teach us we are broken. Our thoughts impure, our bodies tainted. We must surrender our wills to the lair king! To live our lives on our knees. To see our deaths as sweet release. We go to our savior the liar king! And to those who think to call themselves free. To the fire and hounds they must go. Judged before the lair king! Such fear and woe this must invoke. Surely none would dare stand before the tide? We shall remain slaves to the lair king! Yet there are those who have seen dared looked past the veil. They beheld the truth and shal

Pyre Winds by Zinc-Tails, literature

Literature

Pyre Winds

A god born of desert sands, Has swept over our once pagan lands. Under his gales, our rites did sink, Till the world we knew was on the brink. Men of cloth our eyes did fleece, Till they thought our ways we'd cease. Saved us all they claimed to have, They'd mend our sins with hallowed salve. But like spent fire in the dead of night, Still our embers do carry light! Reborn from ashes we have all been, Still there is a fight to win! Through eternity we shall carry the fire, Till our bodies meet the funeral pyre!

Literature

Be Us All

What is a Pagan? What be a Heathen? Do we walk on cloven hoof? Do we burn the ground where which we stand? Are we demons to be laid before the cross? These words, these labels, be not our own. Merely placed upon our heads by men with fearful hands, And eyes blinded by a hollow light. What is a Pagan? What be a Heathen? Some walk nature's path, hear her voice on the wind! Some hold their swords high, battle-cries to the gods of old! Some work the fabric of our world, knotting and weaving they command! But the same blood flows through us all! With fiery eyes and souls of steel! We stand as one, and shall kneel to none! This is

Literature

Pagan Pyre

You claim we are all born in sin! Lost without your shepherds crook! Blind to the light you claim to spread! Through sword and flame, you forced us to kneel! Branded heathens and made to serve! Thought us lost to ages past! But flames of the old souls still burn bright! And within our hearts,they shall never fade! Burning steel and earthen prayer! Summer winds and cleansing rains! Shall stand the test of time eternal! Heathen, Pagan, these names we bare! And shall fight till the flames of the pyre lick our flesh!

Singing Steel, Olden Ways. by Zinc-Tails, literature

Literature

Singing Steel, Olden Ways.

Where have all the old ways gone? Are the old stories still told? Are the old songs still sung? Does the old steel still shine? Cryptic marks in ancient texts, Written not by Pagan hands, Branded us with the crosses sins, And made us to waste away under its shadow. Cursed we are to this day, To be the heathens of histories halls. They remember only the blood spilled, And never the reasons why. Our old gods remade, Cast as demons of cloven hoof. Our old rituals deemed profane, Only practiced by sinful hands. Are you indeed lost in these words? Shall you fall into these lies? Neigh, I feel the fire in your heart! Ancient b

Earth Menders Prayer

By fevered flame, by soothing water! By untamed winds, by stoic earth! The Goddess's grace surrounds me! A single tree in the forest, A single drop in the ocean, A single wolf in the pack, I am one among many. As a leaf upon the wind, As a petal upon the pond, As a root beneath the earth, I move among the flows. With fire's passion, Water's serenity, Wind's Grace, And Earth's Strength, I am one with Mother Earth! I shall walk along this long road, And behold the beauty of this world. And with every fiber of my very being, I shall defend her with my life.

My Bio

Names Zinc, I'm a poet, story writer, and Photographer. Most of my work rides the darker side of poetry but I'm far from a "dark and dreary" person. My poems tend to be about inner demons and inner faith with the occasional video game and pagan themed poem. I'm a Pagan, a leftist, and a brony.

I follow the nine noble virtues- Courage(Both Physical and Moral) Truth( Both Spiritual and Actual) Honor (Your Rep and Morals) Fidelity (Always Faithful and True) Discipline (Use your will to uphold truth) Hospitality (respect others) Industriousness (Hard work pays off) Self-Reliance (Stay Strong) Perseverance (power Through)

Favorite food- Lobster(I have expensive taste)
Favorite song- Tie between Haunted(Disturbed),Enough(Disturbed),and Ghost Love Score(Nightwish)
Favorite video game character- Commander Shepard
Favorite Anime- Tie between Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop

I've been on DA for a very long time. Considering I had an account here before this one, I'd wager it has been about 6 or so years. Recently, however, I've lost my interest. Maybe it's the constant influx of shitty memes and comparison images masquerading as art, or just the generally low level of intelligence that the user base typically displays...or maybe I'm just bored of it. I've pretty much just maintained this account for the past 2 years to have a method of posting on the phil/rel board, and even that ceases to entertain me. Once my premium membership runs out, I'm more than likely abandoning this account. I won't delete it, no need

Looks like a blue sweep here in VA with dems picking up the Gov and L-Gov seats. Independents cleaned house on the lesser races, unseating several Rep incumbents.

0 min read

https://action.sumofus.org/a/coke-russia-lgbt/ Coke, one of the largest brands in the world and primary sponsor of the Russian Olympics is considering issuing a condemnation against Russia's horrid anti-gay laws. The above link is to a petition to tell Coke to go ahead with their condemnation, that the people are behind them 100%. It's a small gesture, but it's something. Looks like we are once again bringing the might of capitalism to bear against Russia. The tides have turned however, with Russia representing the Theocracy, weird how time alters things.

Sorry for the late response, been busy. No problem, you seemed worth watching.

I recall your post in the phil/rel forums. How goes your search? If you need any help or information I would gladly lend my aid. As I said there, it's unethical for a Pagan to preach, but we can help when asked.
