to be messy is to be human,

so color outside the lines of life 

with your hands tied by mistakes.

paint your story 

where pain and love coexist

so they magnify,

the remains of your name.

traveling down the hard road 

of stone and gravel,

 he dodged a wreck of hearts.

glancing in his mirror,

 the trail of dust reflected

the life he denied.

on a road paved of golden mistakes,

he walked with angels illuminated in peace,

 intimate with brokenness

and who couldn’t fly.

                                                      avp

it hard to let new feelings in

when the color of you

is tattooed over my skin

avp

painting him in blurry shades

of what was beyond his sight,

the artist took back the damage done,

and showed him the true colors 

of what he stored under his hat.
