Shredded silently summers promise gone,
Instant photographs spill out on the floor,
Scissors anticipating something done
Anything destructively something more.

Paper, plastic, cloth, and anything found,
Crossing tempered steel honed so very fine,
Pounded into wood and plunged into ground,
Broken on concrete and thrown into brine.

As memories burn quickly into ash,
Dying flames retreating from the shadows
Singular steel recovered from a stash.
There’s chill to the wind rushing in windows.

Cycle completed and started once more,
Each restarting circling as did before.

Promises

Holding onto shredded past
Aching fingers, sharpened mind
Sorrow thoughts what doesn't last
Only shadows does one find.

Cycling wheels, the season's gone
Of Summer's wants, Falls rushing in
Touch not the soul, to come undone
That warmth of hands withholding sin.

Comes around, that face in dark
Silhouetted, shadows walk
Once-met timing, caught off-guard
Words in print becomes shared talk.

Promises suspend in holding
Leafing out, treasure's unfolding.
