he observed the clouds
turn to shades of demon gray.
watching them cross the sun,
they blocked out the light with silence
leaving him cold and alone at the edge of
his swimming pool of lies.

eating alone at the table,
the voices in his head were feeding him
aggressive spoonfuls of toxic choices,
so he’d choke on a bad decision.

he hoped
had taught him how to fly.

to the secret requests he kept in a prayer,
he had to runaway
to find the answers he couldn’t find at home.

he dressed himself
in a shirt of bruised emotions
and shoes laced with doubt.

built
feeling he was built for blame
and not constructed to fit into the arms of love,
he didn’t know how
to fix what was broken inside.

folded
laying there folded up on the bed,
he regretted his life
for passing up
the colorful castles disguised …
as only a dream.

flying in his paper plane of fear,
a flashing yellow light warns him
an unwelcomed heart is on the horizon
searching for his love.

and a lock that deeply bleeds,
he was blamed for a life
he didn’t live …
and suffered the punishment for
sins he didn’t commit.
avp
thorns
he watched the lonely red rain
fall from clouds of thorns
and bleed on his shirt.
