Eggshell Footing
A thought about eggshells, I've recently hatched. Is a house without door bells. No knocker to grasp. For no-one is welcome. A visit forlorn. We just tiptoe and shuffle. Our paths we have worn. There is comfort in the places we've gone round before. For the cracks in those shells are just dust anymore. I glance at the broken sharp pieces around. I pause in my shuffle... An idea I have found. I step to my left frozen hovering, Then down. As I crush these new bits. I brace for the sounds. The breaking and cracking. The shatter of air. I too break a smile. That feeling is here. I see now these pieces. (A mess. I agree.) But these broken scattered pieces are pieces of me. I boldly now stumble and wade through myself. Who was I to keep me from exploring these shells? I see memories and eulogies, and parts that I've feared. I see heartbreak and sorrow, and those I've held near. I see shimmering, finally, alone by a pile. That sparkle of hope. I grace it a smile. I dust off its edges, and wipe down its sides. Now to hold fast to this, I will certainly try. The hope for this home. In this form. A key. A key I will use. I am finally free. -EhB

A poem by me
In the shadows where the heartbeats falter, I wander lost, a specter of my former self, Time drips like blood from an ancient altar, In this forsaken realm, where love is left to delve. I gave you my heart, a fragile, bleeding thing, Wrapped in velvet whispers and trembling devotion, You held it... read more

In the mirror's harsh,relentless glare
In the mirror's harsh, relentless glare, I see a face I cannot bear, a soul weighed down by countless lies, trapped in a web of self despise. Each flaw, each fault, a glaring scar, reminders of the battles marred, echoes of failures haunt my mind, in shadows, solace, hard to find. Guilt and... read more

In shadows deep
In shadows deep where silence reigns, Despair's bitter tendrils slowly entwine, Heart's yearning echoed in silent refrains, Lost in the absence of love divine. In the empty chambers of the soul's keep, Echoes linger, a mournful plea, Longing for a touch, a love so deep, Yet finding only echoes in... read more
