Sleepy shadows
Take Me home
Back to the quiet of the forlorn
I will dance in midnight meadows
Alone with moonlight and my sleepy shadows
living life is much to hard
Facing reality will leave you with scars
So I will dip in darkened streams
And I will fly on dark blue wings
My sleepy shadows take me home
To the quiet world of the forlorn.

Epiphany
You don’t realize
How deep
Past damage seeps,
Until you try to
Move on.
B.J.H. November 2013
I have been watching my small patch of sky for hours
Steel gray clouds enshroud this cold September morning
And I, A sleepless poet
Mourn the brilliant stars that shared Cancer’s waning moon
only hours ago.
Melancholia has been courting of late,
An old lover I had left years ago,
I have refused his advances
But Winter is coming and my Ocean is so far away.

I held a crystal ball,
Within this delicate sphere,
Colorful words swirl like mist.
A poem desperate to escape,
Strains against it’s invisible prison
A poem that I lived,
A poem that I dreamed,
The poem that I cannot write

Rain keeps falling
Tears keep churning
Demons calling
Fears returning
I scream to stop it
No-one answers
I pull at my hair
I cringe in despair
Utter rage is creeping
Hellish wings are beating
The Angel is madly weeping
And all this I cannot stop
Wind is swirling
Voices laughing
Haunted faces
Come to visit
Screaming visions
Seeing demons
I cannot stop these games
I feel the pain
I feel the horror
I just give up
To the howling Sorcerer
My mind is crumbling
My ears are bleeding
Can you hear it?
The Angel is SCREAMING
