Crimson Beckoning
Originally published 2010 pearljam.com
what they see
is the sheen
the scarlet
and black
some call me
beautiful
but i wonder
what solace lies
within the
black depths
i walk beside
there is no
beauty in this
world
only pain
and loss
scarlet
amber and sandalwood
console me
no more
crimson is my soul
heartbreak
my only
friend
moonlight beckons
its shimmering visage
haunts the eddies below
peaceful
comfort lies there
in the vortex
hidden in mist
so lovely
so easy
to slip away
ease my sorrows
nothing
and
no one
left to hold
my heart
moonlight beckons
crimson

answers
no time
stay
no, get out
step aside
there’s no room for you here
avoidance
waiting
inside a vault
what game is this
circling
is it safe yet
or will
lightening strike
as i cry out
in the
blackness © 2013 J.H.

Truth
east or west
distinguish the laughter
from the love
the edge of your opinion
chains hold its true shape
a wild animal
pounds on the walls
break down the doors
and stomp on the west
were you speaking
from the reserve?
overrun with them
its too late
