from the arms of silence
i gave you my last shirt
and the rain covered
my tears

from the arms of silence
i gave you my last shirt
and the rain covered
my tears
AVP

today, alone,
he painted
the walls
in regret and envy
AVP
holding
paperweights of emotion
a burnt out lover
asked about me
today
AVP
while writing love letters to himself,
from the home of a desperate heart and
emotions found in fortune cookies ,
he watched the raindrops trail down
a broken window
AVP
a crooked bedside lamp shade
shapes in light,
a life on the table
of broken clocks and mirrors.
avp
a heart made
of painted paper and plastic rings
still believes in silly things…
like love
avp

there’s something tragic about
sitting outside his door
when it smells like rain
AVP

searching inside webbed rafters of fear,
they heard someone knocking
on a heart
terrified of being happy.
AVP
hidden on the echos
repeating inside each soul,
are the finger prints
of our dreams.
AVP
in a blur of madness,
guilt is thrown in heavy weight …
daggered words
shielded in black & blue truth,
now a bloody sword
set in stone.
AVP
