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

Corrosion
fine details
other stuff
the manifest
you said
life is what
could be
at risk
a bridge
more than
on the verge
of collapse
clear away
the corrosion
unchecked
it spreads
like cancer
shore it up
only words
define
our
lives

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

no, get out

lightening strike
