Almost famous
Lovely faces
Face it
Leather and laces
Hearts and aces
Mirror replacements

Chains
Bars
Handcuffs
Fast cars
Stuffed with tough love
Scars, stars
Young tics and tacks
Tasks and jumping jacks
Waving hands
Basking in summer sands
Where we drew our plans
Wanted to tell our moms and dads
But they washed away and they wouldn’t understand
Drastic actions
Rare reactions
Double down
Lap it up lap em
Keep them laughing

Sweating through the sequins
Sequence
Excess
Leaning
It’s all happening
Believe it
Leave it
Liberty
Freedom

Don’t you want to run away together?
And perfect our crimson crimes together
Eye spying and lying for the other
Under cover lovers
Don’t need to touch
Just a taste
Is good enough
Now that you’re gone away
I miss feeling you hover
As I’m bundled under
In your pull
I’m a fool
You take me where I have no tools
In your wake
A brand new slate
The grass is greener
So much at stake
Now though you’re gone away...
Don’t know what to say
Now though you’re gone away...
I know when to stay
Tyler Jones Nov 2019
Salty sins
Slip off my skin
Baptized, I begin again
Bad twin
Mannequin
Swivel slip
Shenanigans
Overflowing
Keep it going
Forward rowing
Breathe and blowing
Appetites
Only growing
Moment, posing
Where were going
Future folding
Forming, molding
Hyper-culture overdosing
Ultra dramatic
Super classic
Dandelions
Made of plastic
Laugh it off
Spastic elastic
Bounce and blast off
Erratic romantic
Snakes surround me
Blinking, sinking
Echos sounding
Stinking thinking
Cost compounding
So astounding
Fountain spouting,
Auto-routing
Into the black
Death reflection
Sudsy and soaked
My bent religion
Watch me
Drowning
In fickle hearts
Pounding loudly
Im slip, spin, splitting
Program imprinting
Filling, skimming, stripping, spilling
Crypticly petrified
Sedated and sterilized
Softly by your side
Utilized
Crystallized in my disguise
Tyler Jones Nov 2019
You and I
Parallel lines
Easy to define
Till you passed me by
I’m fragile to the core
Always needing more
Done my best to protect you
You left no clues
Even from here, icy clear
Nothing comes close
Not even near
Searching for a way to replace the space,
you left and it stayed,
when you went away
Tyler Jones Sep 2019
The love we fight for, the love we lack
The heights we soar for a heart attack
To look at you while you’re looking away
Suddenly sends me rolling in flames
I see where I’m going, what would’ve became
I forget myself, forget my name

My favorite kind of numb
The mess that you made true
My one and only prayer
No getting over you
Tyler Jones Sep 2019
Dig
I want to taste your mind
When you’re tongue tied
I want to be the one you want to be beside
Dig deeper down in the slime and the grime
Moonlight’ll be our guide
To climb up to great heights
Color out of the lines
You’re my gold mine
Serpentine
Tyler Jones Sep 2019
Through the lenses of my mind
Frequently a shadow I’ll find
A quiver of some stirring air
A knot formed folorn in my very hair
A constellation that once untaught
Leeds me deep in a forest of thoughts
Where ghosts drone on and on and on
About lovers once come and gone
But I don’t mind, I say, I try
I can feel I’m reeling still from days so hot and dry
Scorched my feet, melted my eyes
Hot air mirages sat in the sky
There I spent plenty of time
To know not whine over what I’ll never find
Wander along all the dotted lines
You take yours and I’ll take mine
