Faithful
it’s all around you
the brimstone
committee
has the right
after all
knowledge
is for
the faithful
something hidden
from the light
but its a
virulent strain
and my eyes
are older now
and welcome here
but no
editing
the conflict
distorted
is this
all
there
is

Game Over
a mask
not a clue
game over
consider that
a loose definition
a release
ingrained
clear analysis
why now?
a trick of luck
or
self-preservation
i made
it
up
myself

The Facade
renovation
a guest has
arrived
a lightning bolt
a foundation
for the
interior
an uncertain future
not as tough
as believed
the walls
are still standing
marble and granite
still crumble
under pressure
the surface
a haven
already
returning
to the
ground

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

Mr. Reaper
walked right beside you
all of these days
planning your life
knowing your demise
lay within my reach
be comfortable
my friend
though they mourn
enjoy your rest
before the long
journey begins
safely to the ground
gone but
still here
with me
by your side
to guide
they see me here
your friends
and lovers
don’t believe
we’ve met
they’ll say
oh but we have
i walk along
in the shadows
meek and mild
ever the
gentleman
in a cloak
of silence
have no
fear
I’m always
near
hold my hand
off to
the promised
land © 2010 J.H. Originally Published at pearljam.com

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

blackness © 2013 J.H.

HypoMania
be careful there is belief there morphine to think upon chances for apocalypse the mystique is gone let the cracks in tried to go back why now? what is calling the hands of reasoning unfinished an ache we used to hear protecting allow us that waiting close to the light and trust there is no reverence now © 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
