Tylor
32/M Just another guy in his mid-30s, trying to live his life to the fullest.
Every night as I go to bed with my conscious filled with remorse and my heart so heavy I feel like a side of my body cries out in pain, and the other one feels wholly empty Tears roll down my eyes as if I hadn’t cried enough during the day Still, I wish there was a way in which I could just make the grief go away My mind seems clouded with a million things, each of them ripping me apart I feel so emotionally drained that even keeping up with my sanity seems so hard Wanting to break free from the shackles of my mind, I now realize I can no longer carry Carry the fear of futility, the fear of failure, the fear of everything. I just want to spend my youth in a merry Insecurities forge the unrest I sense within my chest, they make me feel like nothing to the world I could give The emotions that I have been suppressing have now left me suffocated, my ribs can no longer protect my heart by instilling all the pain, at any moment they might split And though being thankful for everything I am blessed with, I feel like I don't even deserve a bit With this constant thought running through my brain cells, I realise that I am slowly turning into an under-watered withering flower, with no desire to live

Withering flower
My insides are freezing, every ounce of passion I have is boiling down to nothing Echoes of chasmic silence have me surrounded I am overwhelmed by this sudden surge of intense self-loathing By the strong rusty winds, my existence seems grounded I am turning cold and fragile every second, and all I long for is a wake-up call A call harsh enough to burn my freezing insides I am sick of the urge that wants me to hit my head against the wall Cause now I am well aware of how in my head, the demonic hurting creature hides I breathe in fear, it rushes through my blood so I could feel it in my bones and veins Anxiety is like my shadow that lingers with me everywhere I go, I feel burdened Feels like I am getting drenched alone in the nagging emptiness, the whole of me drains Even in the happiest of moments, everywhere it just pains

My insides are freezing
In the cozy corner right by the lake Let's enjoy the sunset and make love Let's cherish the days gone by, let's hug the ache Whilst sleeping with the moon above Let's lay on the sand, soaking up the sun Let me plant a kiss on your cherry lips Away from the worldly mayhem, let's just run Let's learn to live in the moment, let's learn to live for us For the rest of my life, let me love you You have set my heart on fire, ignited my soul with passion I can't imagine my life without you, I need you Let's live a life filled with love and compassion

Let's live
Wrap me in your warmth, it's cold out here Keep me locked in your embrace By the bonfire, allow my body to caress yours From the curves of your lips, the flavor of love, let me taste Let our bodies be entangled, our souls interlocked Under the starry sky, let's engage in a passionate play Delicately I will touch, the most sacred corners of your body Allow me to remind you how it feels to be loved, let me take you away

Wrap me in your warmth
I walk in the woods with the wind As the sun sets and I am left on my own I talk to the tress all night and they whisper back Making me realise, I'm still breathing and I am not alone As I step towards the city in the morning fog The rays of the sun fall on the tress, the leaves shine brighter than ever They light up my soul with hope, that had once gone rotten As breathe in the fresh air and release all the stress.

I walk in the woods with the wind
When I first saw you I felt as if you were the girl I've been looking for I had waited almost all my life for this moment to arrive And when it did, All I had to do was spread the colours of love on my canvas and seize the beauty of the moment forever. But never in my heart, I felt you were mystifying The harder I tried to love you, the more you slipped into your shell There was something special about you, something I couldn't decipher And for the very first time, I failed at art

I failed at art
In the journey of my life, I will encounter people many But nobody will ever be close to being who you are to me   I am looking for words to define your greatness But I don't think I will ever find any I look up to you in ways you can never comprehend That is how great you are, mother You wear a smile on your face, keeping all the pain quelled   How strong of a woman you are, I wonder. You have loved me a tad more when I have burst into tears With colours of passion and warmth, you have filled my life I have vicariously lived through you, my whole being, with no anxieties, no fears   You are the only one without whom I will fail to survive If ever I have to go miles away from you Remember, I will still be the closest to you Nothing can ever get in between you and me, I am nothing without you And for everything that you have done and you will do for me, I thank you

Without you, mother
pony-tailed playmate head tucked in her shirt gazing steadily down at her toes in the dirt chaos tiptoes around her naive oblivion journeys in far away lands just west of the meridian watercolor fairy tales bleeding outside the lines unaware of the danger unaware of the signs let me sit with you, darling in the dampened flower beds and paint a new world for us in our heads

My Poetry
I never believed in happy endings My life was insipid until I met you I first slept by the ocean under the stars with you Once tangled in blue, I am now tangled with you You filled the cracks in my skin with vibrant colours And healed all my bruises with a simple touch With you, my life is full of surprises and wonders I am so full of love now, there's no space for any hatred or grudge
