Walking down the avenue with
My feet bared and brown
With the faceless son
Still shinning down
I see the whole wide world
Carefully going round

Sing your songs humanity
Play your tune
Send forth your depravity
And send the love strewn

Old men remember past nights
Wondrous sights
Family fights

Men of the past
Often live in it to
Men of the past
Have many memories accrued

Old men
Have fleeting fears
Nothing can touch them
When death draws near
And death itself
Is nothing to be afraid of
Because men of the past
Have a God above

And men of the past
Often live in it to
And men of the past
Still have many things left to do

Men of the past are dark blots
Moments caught
In Black and white
Camera shots

Such feelings I can not sence
Like love, joy, and peacefulness
Oh how I long for experience

Such wits I do not possess
Like lust, pause, and hatfulness
Oh how I long for experience

Oh tangled thoughts misunderstood
Suicide? Well I don't think I could
I shouldn't but perhaps I should

I shall not need your affection
At the end of it all
I shall know no affliction
When my new love calls

I would not be the man
That stands here today
And I've done all I can
But that's no reason to stay

So if ever you find
The one I fell for
Pay me a mind
And come in my door

And if ever you feel
At need or in tragedy
Come and steal-
Away and visit me
Tyler A Sullivan Jun 2017
A touch of power
A touch of wild
Bewilderment stretches across your face
Like a giddy child

A glorious flash
Caught in the folds
A perfect moment
A story told
A sorrowful song
In between endless faze
A beautiful thought
Lost in a haze
Tyler A Sullivan Jun 2017
I've found joy in an overgrown field,
I've felt the profound in heightened places.
I've taken shelter under the oaks shield-
When afternoon wields
The rays upon our faces !

If I could save you my dear,
From this sinking suburban summer,
I would do it in love with fear-
If only to halt you from losing one more tear,
And we'd fly from this perpetual ******.

We'd leave these shopping plazas in our wake,
And travel through the spaces only from above seen.
It may after all be a foolish mistake,
And we like selfish human's leave nothing and take,
So we steal the sights with eyes keen.

One minute to a shopping mall,
Two to the gas station !
Seconds to leave it all-
And if we deny the call-
Our lives risk stagnation!

The world may drown because of it,
And the air become to fowl to breath.
And all the lovely verse would be forfeit,
And All the fables we will forget,
So to the ocean our civilization we heave.

And I'd forget it all,
All the things that I knew.
And I'd forget it all,
To only remember the thought of you.

A fruit of passion
Ripe and sweet
Such compassion
Such defeat

The lure of love
Can greatly bother
When the one to love
Is in love with another

And one must watch
The joy slip by
And one will catch
Water in their eyes

And one must go
When it is easy to stay
And one must roe
Themselves away
