Twist's Torment Contributed by Nazmythian on Thursday, 8th March 2007 @ 11:21:24 PM in AEST Topic: ambiguous Twist’s Torment Stick pins and needles Shards of glass and some of clay Rusted nails and a chainsaw Balsa wood, a razor blade Sand paper, a cold chisel One large candle and a match Hot oil and some honey Perhaps a heavy duty plastic bag Dry ice and some duct tape A hammer, a baseball bat Vise grips, and an anvil A willingness to not look back Pipe cleaners, a few wire ties Don’t forget the splitting maul I believe I would be ready If I could “Twist” a voodoo doll ~ Nazmythian ~ I could perhaps, offer an explanation, but instead I'll just point you in the direction of Tran Siberian Orchestra's album ... Beethoven's Last Night, it has proven to be the source of much inspiration. You'll find it ... here http://www.trans-siberian.com/lyrics/lyrics-bln.shtml Copyright © Nazmythian ...

Re: Twist's Torment (User Rating: 1 ) by yangdantien on Friday, 9th March 2007 @ 01:46:54 AM AEST (User Info | Send a Message) Having reviewed the lyrics and your work here this elegy clearly delineates poetry from mere song: "...Mephistopheles points out through a window to a child sleeping in the gutter. He tells the old man that he owns this child's life and in great detail lists all the horrors and suffering that she will experience in her short existence..." A Sling Blade Theme Park Full of Red De-lights is implied within. As comprehension is not all it is cracked up to be I got about 20 different ideas blooming in my head and these will entertain for quite awhile. Bravo Peace Yang

I am so incredibly jealous. This was amazing work. I, like AJ, was reminded of that near to the end song. (But you are no Mephistopheles .. and Twist is just misguided ..) lol Fate .. now SHE should be explaining a few things, no? Though, this piece, itself, I know is not the way fate works .. her methods are far less clear, and her intent is even more muddy .. but yeah .. how wonderful to be able to (as you say) Twist a voodoo doll .. and perhaps not even one in the likeness of a person, but of an unwanted emotion .. how GREAT would that be if we could exercise them at the drop of a hat? (or doll, as it were?) God .. I love this. I love it completely! with all humility and envy, dear poet .. ~Breezy
