waves asunder
Tyler Apr 2023
big cat
in a big pond,
have this rock.
the ground willn't
break.
safety where
i had found it yet
beside just myself.
and sure, swim to it in any time of need.
then where shall you sail ?
where will you see ?
will seas and seasons
be what time is to me ?

ivory hands
Tyler Apr 2022
an instrument is like a dance floor and
the notes like a partner
in which the expressive heart
of all things
begins to align
and coencide with nothing but
the language of love.

dark blue day
Tyler Oct 2021
who has befell me
has gifted me grief,
has caused my body to lie
in a needed slumber

what is missing
in my heart full of love ?
what has
filled my lungs
with desperate breathes
and made everything
a sloppy mess ?

how do i cleanse this ?
ive purified my ends,
means matter more i suppose.
I lack the love I once had.

when will I be me again ?
because I feel it.
the mirror suggests otherwise,
but i try to look past it.

the mud in my heart painfully
grows mold.

tree
Tyler Feb 2022
things evolve,
mature, over
sad branches
of synchronicity.

i should grow some new trees.
in fact, i'd like a garden.
i still will water those elder's old.
their love triumphed over these new beginnings; for a keen eye.
those brothers and sisters in nature make me feel bigger, greater, than myself.
role models of strength i have known since young.

jaded
Tyler Dec 2021
today
my mind lacks the past action
of answering my own prayers.

some days are still easier
pleading for something
without the action of will.

i aim to rest.
spirits join me
in this reality,
and in it
my bed a cloud.
eyes open sleep,
as i cease to exist.

hold me dearly.
this love of mine.

Your pain does not add to my pain.
It just- more conclusively revealed.
There bountiful forgiveness within it.

Your hurt is what bruises my heart,
like a foreign object I wish
to pull from the root.
Show me where your weeds lie,
and I'll get to work.

just like it was me coming after me,
it was you leaving you and
it was you getting mad at you
and piting that you that you
left behind.
ergh.
it is a struggle in my head, a problem i will find to overcome.
but deep down you want to listen to the music,
that i know.
and i love all there is on the way
even up to your surfaces. singing of each layer i can.

i can't find all the words
     to tell you how much I love you.
i can't find all the words
     to apologize how much I hurt you.
i can't find all the words
     to say goodbye to the love that last forever.

yet i say; nonetheless- and forgive the attempt in its fruition.

flowers for her
Tyler May 20
so many people
I pray for-
I used to write
Just to soothe
someone
that felt a little
like me.

flowers for her,
floating by
in a river.

his hiking boots
stepping into
Spring time.

I know love is
so cyclical-
I'm growing
ever
more cynical.

I'll let her take
me to her sunny
benches if she
let's me.

Like an oyster
or a baby reef,
she's opening
herself slowly
to a possibility
of being hurt
by others.

past endeavor
Tyler Jan 2024
ive looked different every season
a new face with a changed reason
picked up a new scar, that was once a lesion

it's hard to keep it straight
like a new task that im returning late
some will call it karma, some would call it fate

my past is a lesson, my past is a weight
it's golden, it's a blur
only some would relate

sexy
Tyler Apr 2023
you play off my instincts like a predator.
your bite is enough to drown in.
your fight is enough to dose in.
your lips are like 100 roses
and I'm aware your blood excites
my taste.
your tongue's touch perverts
from the wickedness.
and the love is wildly bountiful;
I am liberated.
just one of your kiss,
is enough for my benediction.

nicotined lips
Tyler Jan 2022
do you see me in a star?
a tree?
the ground touching your feet?
that wonderful picture you drew for the entire world to see?

a cloud?
a stick found?
an animal with a silly sense of the profound?

a little treat?
one to pop into one's mouth while in defeat?
a kiss?
a wish?
a tender lovesick?

a place far?
it a one far from bizarre;
a home built without arms?
a dead end?
a pool side tend?;
lost act of babtism in a man-made lake:
fenced in by my scars?

a whole head of lead;
one that gets a little too upset?
someone so far too in their dread;
to help?

a savant, a fool said, trail blazing by his own design?
but still one who found himself equal, amidst all of people; and loved them above their, and in turn, his own value?
all to the tune of a rhythmic soul's belt?


one could never truely know.
i only grasp at the collective human primordial seed.
to understand this waking world.

I ATTRACT THE BROKEN
THE DAMAGED
THE ABUSED
AND I TRY MY HARDEST TO KISS
EVERY WOUND AND BE THE FRIEND
THEY DESERVE.

THE SELF HARMED,
THE ABSENT PARENTS,
THE MENTALLY ******,
THE BEATEN,
THE WAR-FILLED MEMOIRS,
THE ONES TAKEN ADVANTAGE
OF, MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY, OR PHYSICALLY,
THE PREJUDICED.
I WILL GO TO MY LAST BREATH TO LEAVE THIS WORLD BETTER AND BRIGHTER THAN I HAVE FOUND IT.

but then they recieve the torment
So rather just i and them

i would awaken next to you.
looking upon you
would sustain my dream to the day.


the touch of you those days,
would light me inside
my skin fit to fill with
the essense of shiver.
that same touch now
could leave me
crying,
broken and enraged;
like an abandoned puppy.

weighing my options
Tyler Jan 2022
preaching loss to those
that haven't seen its pure cosmogonal face,
like a vampire feeling young off a new-ly acquainted eternal aging, or
like a future wall you supply to backs in tired moments of humanity, or
a revelry of armor in lessons of the past.
true loss-
a virus of our machine
spreading through cracks in the seams
of one's soul and
dominating your every will
and clamping shut
every peek-hole of home
in leagues of the deepness of sea
of a non-comforming depression.

to question why you get up,
is not as important as getting up.
it speaks so true of that
devil's irrelvance.

i could only see the fall again.
so i lay for days,
back in the trenches where I
work best.
whittling words,
praying for peace,
integrating integrity,
and daring limits.
Tyler Mar 2022
I keep getting
waves of angst,
I've heard before,
that tie teasing ribbons
around my roots.
my heart runs rampant
for when you caress my soul
in my pursuit of love
in a scape of lust
I feel quite confounded
with your touch.

do you like me as an artist or as a friend?
was I a lover that called at the end of the night, or one that faded into the darkness?
am I preserving voice within your life or just a chiming ear across the bar?
a tongue spewing a string of meaningless profundity or am I a list drawn of striking profanity?
a professional handshake ?
or a charming smile ?
an awkward pause ?
do I swim in your mind like a diver ?
or do I pass like a wind ?

my priorities have been destroyed since I met you for the first time.

an addiction that had waves
in chapters of a rainbow.

fear of changing definitions,
your priorities far from me,
my heart slowly broke from
an unloving god-
that heart rebuilt greater from
a loving one.

i was the happy little boy
the one that smiled over his frowns,
just to show his face,
swore it'd light up a whole town.
knew it'd light up his favorite face.
but after under every smile , was
transient at best: anguish at worst
and when the world started to dull,
he didn't know that feeling was him slowly dying alongside you.

you'd rather hate me than miss me
banging large percussive drums
enraged; so passionate.
I'd only listen in on its fruitful
blasts of flame invigorating your soul
nodding a head alongside.

let the anger out
and by god it might
be productive.
i will persistantly
attempt to advocate, to
evoke the life inside you.
the true living.
advocating for openness
until the clawing hands
of nature, in time,
drag us all down to be but
a garden of daisies.

to whomever this may concern-
I love you.
Tyler May 2022
the concepts are like objects,
like mirrors.
whatever you see
is in some part
your ownself.
focusing within,
we are all trapped
within our own mind
treating others outwardly how
we wish to be treated or it
a cry for help.

when i look in the mirror,
i love what i see.
i hope to not let it hurt me as i accept my own image,
only-
but if i see a little truth in
what others do
that i hadn't before.
then, its time to channel it more to good.

If my mind is cursed,
tell me why I still feel blessed by your precenses'.
Voices unheard but still there all the same - phantoms of feeling that leave my intuition partitioned.
I am not I, I am the culmination of bodies and minds guiding me through wastelands of unknown; yet still marching with the hat of a leader.
