The bleeding shreds
On heart...on hands
Determined to 
Walk this mysterious
Mountainous path...

Shreds of oak tree in faded gold
Drift on my life-scenes, wishes untold.

shreds of crying clouds
trickle along budding trees,
like shadows of dreams...
words melt away in silence,
as seconds flow with the rain......

once written and twice read...
my mind rejuvenates after the sentence slams out
one breath and two exhales......

50N sulfuric acid
If sprayed  on any fabric
Instantly turns it to rags
Just like some absences
Which sweep as a storm
N'tatter our souls
Bruise our hearts
Up to 
shreds....

Mound of beans and rice
Lettuce shreds with tomato
Onion, ebony
Olive rings in salsa and 
Guacamole; sour cream top;
Tex-mex mound,
Feast!

You tore it two shreds 
nothing to do but watch with dread
as all the blood oozes red
i screamed 
i cried 
staring at the blood that has now dried...

Hurricane

Harsh winds 
Heave cars and 
Hinder paradise
Homes.
Heavy, flooding rain,
Hammering
Hail shreds, hysteria explodes..

I can't do this anymore,
My heart's no longer whole.
I feel like I need you,
Deep down in my soul.
My heart in peices,
my soul in shreds,
I've got to admit,
I can't take this dread....

Provided our golden Annie with so much joy
Drove her insane, bought her a squeaky toy
Ripped it to shreds
Until it was dead
Gave me such satisfaction to watch her enjoy...

Roast pork infused with garlic
oh so succulent
wrapped in shreds of sauerkraut
juicy,slightly browned
pan drippings aside
for the spuds
yum!

Poor Mister Lincoln
Shoulders cowed
Watched Freedom’s ark sinking
From Heaven’s redoubt
A country divided
An idea torn to shreds
Cried poor Mister Lincoln
My Union is dead...

things to remember
things to forget
that's what she couldn't
get out of her head
smashing her skull
attempting to cull
the murder of hecklers
their million black feathers
slicing her soul to shreds...

Her beautiful
Eyes are red
And
Raw from all the 
Times he never followed through,
Breaking his word,
Ripping her heart to shreds,
Evidence of infidelity,
An unpardonable offense,
Killing what could have been....

Stole it,
You did,
And ripped it to shreds,
I trusted you,
With everything I was,
And everything I am,
You tore me apart,
And I know now,
That you won’t return,
As much as I want you to,
You’ll never be back....
