i saw your face
and then i knew why
i am
AVP
i saw your face
and then i knew why
i am
AVP
i will unlock your darkened cage,
i will guard your hidden covers
and the spirit left behind,
until i gently mend you
AVP

my arms are the threads
that hold you together
AVP

i memorized your face
underneath my fingers
tangled up
in the photographs of you
AVP
holding
paperweights of emotion
a burnt out lover
asked about me
today
AVP
at the edge of the night,
drawing crooked lines
in his tears turned to dust …
the boy at heart,
fell down to his knees
by a grave of unfilled love
AVP

having been loved
by people with broken arms,
created in him an innate way
of letting people go easily.
AVP
its harder now
to turn the pages of my life,
but there’s a flicker of hope
from shadows holding on to a hotel light
that give me peace on these empty roads.
it’s the possibility,
that love,
may still be more than
an old book in this cold room.
AVP
dirty love,
a roll of the dice,
a clean shirt on
AVP
retreating into his dreams
he swam through the stars
and found someone to love him
AVP
