Written Words Doomed To Be

Written words doomed to be
Sear as writers cut them free

Worn wisps weave the web
Linking eyes through the net

Butterflies blossom in degrees
Painting candles on their knees

Doors slam dark regret
Tearing rage forbidden hands

Syllables sling sinuous songs
As a bell blasts chiming wrongs

Saviors shake heaven’s debt
Leaving children to stand

In icy winter winds
With sullen sorrow sulking yet…
