shepherd's wool
Tyler Jan 2022
these clothes i wear
placed upon my intrepid
yet crumbling mortal form.

from friend.
from family.

gift me more weight.
gift me more armor.

those that believe in me,
are, and is, this softness in my robe;
each fiber, to caress my heart.

to carry me to the clouds.

cheer.
Tyler Jan 2022
toast to our ghosts.
to ragabond know-nothings.
lifting, spilling, daring, courage.
And Honor.

A brotherhood built in assasins.
Not to be taken to timid degree.

We love by a creed.
We wake endlessly.
Seep seamlessly.
Nature's order canvas
for a paintbrush;
sweeping will of color.
sweeping sounds of love,
of chirping birds.
opening my soul with their
song.

Tyler Jan 2022
for if this is not love then how does one know what is.

in something secret
but shared

digitial virus

connection through a heaven.
a computer shadow ghost of our own will.

will we even begin to know the devastation?
the destination?

i am not ready for the future
life only gets harder,
pain run deeper,
labor is needed
to keep enjoying my starry nights
i wish to share with you.

where the true connection's voice speaks. A place no soul can slowly run adry.

sky soother
Tyler Dec 2021
listen closely
and you might hear that
the clouds match your soul;
soft gentle skin;
boistrous forbidden kiss
from the sky to your cheek.

sometimes unholden,
pouring hail and crashing thunder.
know that deep eagle and claw-fringed fish
look up to you and
fall down to join your lone form as
from basen to barren mountain
love connects.

i love you with nature's calling;
through the storms of your life.
take my hand and stand up.
only to fall again once more.
Tyler Dec 2021
i could nitpick myself
for hours.

enough to establish bruising,
cuts,
or scrapes.
plucking every hair out of my body.

worry about how good
the language is,
or how pretty the dreamscape.

why beat myself up.
my thoughts are my own.
i only wish to grow into someone that took as much time in this as i do.

and with it someone who sees
and who can fill in all the silence
of the ignorance to my life.
someone who can show me
how I've truely lived.

maybe we could kiss those lacerations
and brandish those scars.
show and tell,
to someone that loves me well.

my heart swims,
it dives;
then it soars,
it flies,
at the mere prospect
of a life lived.
i only guess what words
define that concept
of what I've done.

quite alone
a snowflake among snow.

quite cold
how the white glory depresses.

au contraire
to hearty hearthed home.

cold sunken soul,
brittle bits of frozen hair.

in grandest unity.

hark,
the angels still sing:

still, neglect;
in this cold chafed face.

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.

for us to understand your power.

Tyler Dec 2021
I am a predator.
i will dig into each of your every weaknesses.
down to the ****** core.
below even the lines we could ever hope to know in ourselves or eachother.

and there, i will alleviate it with what you need.
Sharpened shaved tooth.
Fire in the eyes and venom on the breath.
This power of love, of hate,
and the strength of our soul's softer skin.
I will **** your demons.

battle that depression that weighs so heavily on the heart and one's desire;
and in this unity
hands held
blood on our lips
a kiss shall make us shine.
As your golden honey has all along.

That serendipidous sweetness.
I could never take off my tongue.

"i lost my angels"
starry nights
the last semblance
of heaven i find

twinkling
pinholes of dreamy glory;
for what lies behind the nightly veil
but light.


nightly bright
silent sights
brightly night

like a quiet drifting kite
a falling star wishes despite
i think i could cry forever

the children of chance
Tyler Dec 2021
we are lonesome
but never alone
a tragic laugh
for us,
as we are
all involved.

their hands hold many voices
through that cultivated labor that is their love.


in harmony with silence and sound.
a council of family amend the enivitable loss in, and of, reality.
an astral scale,
a platinum hourglass,
dancing at its funeral.

their beloved lineages of those chosen for them,
and for those whom they chose.
time really is of no essense in our shared eternity.
and we the leaders bestown
from those gifts of above.

tender kisses and touch prickle the skin.
some memories past:
a special treat. pure sweetness; taste gracious even in defeat.
bubble gum wrapped in black peppered licorice.


blessed with courage
they wait.
eternal patience.
unstoppable greatness.
in hopeful good.
as in their faith reveals,
the child of chance
in us all.
i miss you ana sofia and sofia

you will forever be the hands on my shoulders.
and sorry you fell in love with a poet

lonely
Tyler Dec 2021
i would take centuries to understand
the woman in you,
the woman in me.

would you take a day to understand the man in me?
the man in you?


the silence of it.


a torrental battle.
this highest casuality.


atleast the dead could rest.
i tire of these demands
from some one I can't
quite point to.

through it all you were never wrong.

thats why you failed.

truth or false.

captain
Tyler Dec 2021
god how i miss you.
the floor practically stands up to hit me as i slam myself to it.

hoping you're watching from above
my crippled fallen mess
with a warm hand to hold me.
to embrace this cold form.
my safety only in this blanket to caress my bruised and battered form.
It was all okay right?
Will only God say it was all okay?

A million pieces of shattered glass
that reflect back a broken man.
As the darkness still consumes him.
But no longer surrounds.

Leaving this mist to be cleared.
A leader endeared.
A lighthouse of home is his heart
and with it,
his mind finds nothing to be feared.
And at the helm he steers.
As the wisp of the sea pushes him onward.

Tyler Dec 2021
truth will sucker punch you in places you never knew could be hit.

a venomous green toothed grin,
poisoning you from the taste of its mere visage.

it,
this ego of reality reeling back, as it knows itself,
filled with the sour vile poison of home it steals.

all while caressing the lonesome form constructed by no one but merely yourself.

i stand as its champion in the belly of this rancid bubbling ichored cave.

knowing myself to lie.

knowing myself alone.

but filled to the brim with hope.

spitting fire that eats past the armor of skin or scale.

Tyler Dec 2021
its quite time to
rid myself of others egos
the mesh of it, like a marketplace.
A case of copycat conundrums.
of little offense,
we are all trying our best.

i will love myself
as this person beneath
, as i know myself to have done
to each and every other person,
ive only ever really just seen,
but finally i will do it to me.

not the construction of me
you see.
but the one i know myself to be.
the human we all find ourselves to see.

and other ways to feel
Tyler Dec 2021
ive been so lonesome,
a weak movement will illicit
a pair of twitches
just to shame me in knowing im alone.

my body center
scratching vinyl
burrowing questions
all stabbing in to me
pitting cycles of noise
rhytmically cutting my form
in periodic rest
toying on what you expect

with no relief
feel just as scathed
the burns have left
my form shaken

craving
Tyler Dec 2021
forms crack from the Craving.
sunkissed sea stone, solid but weakened.
the curse outside can't match the ones inside.
angst gifted by nature's euphoria,
dark core evolved into a white magnolia.
wicked spinstress: an honored misfit.
here in these dreams is a focused image.
the reality, no protection; neglect from a timid god.

lessons from dog
Tyler Nov 2021
She would bark at me when wanting love.
I would come close she would run away.
the nature of us all, sometimes she'd try biting me.
Fight or flight, i looked to calm, yet no way around another's fear
(the opposite of love)
but maybe through it?
I figured to bond, she saw what I saw as her potential,
She fought for the attention that was accepted from another (that acceptance key to a heaven indeed). Attacking her brother, her eyes said, "was i right ? was i wrong? Should i try another?".
Trying to show you its acceptable to be on her level.
"Sure ill come" i said with poised humility,
Because i still loved you the same, always as equals. again
Id come, youd run, id throw you a bone,
I had loved to see you as you had grown, love not lacked, brought it back(look she knew how to do that!), pride's layers overlapped of every sense of touch, god I loved that, as I pet your hair back.
Never expressed how much i was impressed,
But still then after, id love in my way to show you it made my day, you would run.
you wanted to still be in my focus, for i think it made you stronger, you were the enemy, reflected that hurt me as I'd hurt another.
i had made a vow to never try to harm another.
Our possible deeds natured in weeds. Possible age of love to still be seen. And when you fought me itd hurt me, and id leave in defeat; you, barking behind me. And maybe one day you wont see me the monster you see me. Maybe one day we could love so freely. But for now it seems we both are on matural's leave.
I just wish i could communicate for you to comprehend, and im sorry my heart feels too heavy for anything to rend.

I used to deny myself death
as i was learned inflicting it
  would send me to hell.

I guess it saved me

I still bathe in that wish.
counting as they slowly wilt away,
  my white pedals of ash.
   the reward of risking the whole flower.

, that i have to forcibly neglect,
to tell you, you never failed.

cosmic
Tyler Nov 2021
The more you understand love, others, and its power connecting with others,
the more they see the
part of themselves they still hate.
And they will hate you for it.
Cracking unseen decadance in a deep cave blessed by a pond, inside
(or rather itself), a mirror of
fire anger and pity;
pain abuse and loneliness;
loss death and destruction.
dipping into decades of refractions of
faces, and what lied beyond their eyes,
even more sullen than thine.
I've always known how I feel.
Love always reigned in my life.
The Touched, a community,
at this time plagued;
curse themselves to sleep.
A line of misfortune.
and with it all I still bask
in all of the cosmic confluence,
reaping its infinite knowledge of light.

breathe easy
Tyler Nov 2021
love is a pool,
in which to drink through hardship.
bathed in warmth.
sweet weightlessness.

love is a pool,
that can be drown in, as false pretense   of depth tends to weigh tons with a
predetermined will.

love is a lake.
in which at times your lungs burn,
to which a breath is needed,
and a break delivered.
be wary of the safety of the surface.
the monsters lurk beneath.
some look through a mirror.
and i still intend to find every one.
for old friends.

deep within
a discordant tone
stirs my mind
vibrates the glass
of my body
but never shatters;
this essense,
a storm in the bottle.

i don't want to know
what happens when it breaks
but i need to know, and
ive known that to be: life is long
Tyler Nov 2021
how could i lose these "days" of some mystery.
eternity awaits all of us with its smile aglow.
and til then our times can stray.
so live happily,
so i can live free

heaven's
Tyler Nov 2021
errant skies, orange like sherbert
clouds of grey slowly move by unfettering my ear,
lost times i couldnt heal,
i break free on the taste of ice cream on my tongue
as the clouds around where i fly form a pond
in which i soak in.
the stillness of water. calm wave
in the shallows.
whisked to a burling bastion of a blue school of fish their
scales shining the new found suns light reflecting off my eyes as sparkles
that happen to fall and turn to purple soda and land on my tongue.
whisking around in my form of glee, a new scape of snow and snow
covered grass and snow
falling amid twirling streetlighted paths.
As I fall and I land too and then stand in an old jacket and in my old fleece hat.

The cold of those nights.
Like taking a breath mint but it always stayed somewhere placed within your head. The core, i guess. If you placed yourself right, snugged yourself tight, you'd be an unstoppable machine against the cold.
And with it came the power of being in that ubiquitous beauty.
Every single snowflake.
A present.
I bask in it
It might be bad right now i think to say at THIS moment in THIS time,
That it tastes a little like you
But I don't deny the truth
Yes, i am in fact a gooby goober
