Every poem ever written shows us the eyes of the poet. Looking without. As love mirrors the heart, poetry mirrors personality. Many poets write about things outside of themselves. This mirrors their personal character and the way they look at the world. Looking within. Other poets take the outside world into themselves and use the intimate emotions to reveal their own hearts. Just looking. Then there are poets like me, who do a little of both...or a lot of neither. If you're looking for flowery observations on nature, rhyming pieces with any type of standard or pattern, seemingly meaningless verses that you have to know the ""code"" to understand, you won't find it here. The 39 poems included a combination of honesty, raw emotion, vivid imagery, gritty reality, story metaphors, introspection, depression, and even ""song-like"" verses. Great poetry is something I can relate to, that moves me, that takes the human condition and makes it both frail and somehow beautiful in its starkness.
Good and evil have always existed, and the battle between heaven and hell has been waged since before humankind’s earliest memories. Agents on both sides of this unending war move across the world, searching for and claiming souls to fill their ranks. They scour battlefields and dark alleys, appearing in hospitals and at the bedsides of the dying. They sometimes dwell among the oblivious masses going about their lives, not knowing that anyone could be an agent of heaven—or of hell. Hellerman is one of these agents, a shadow who descends upon the dying to procure their souls for his master. Throughout millennia, he has traveled across the continents, appearing at one moment in a far-removed village in Africa and later in the vast cities of Europe and North America. He has never questioned his duty before. But he has never had anyone show him what it is like to have someone care about him and for him. And with that friendship comes another battle—this time, inside himself—whose outcome will alter his destiny completely.
