untitled / us holy gods
Tyler May 2023
Heaven is like a green tree
   that blossoms,
in the Sun,
  it's the warmth of Spring
     but sitting in its shade.

     it's like a cool breeze on
       a chilly river-side
         that sways her branches
             and eases her spines;
            relieves her leaves.

it'll never leave-
       if we believe it to be true.
it continues-
       even after our end.
if you know, you know.
🤍🤍🤍

believe, maybe.
Tyler May 2023
for here I am in your perfect memory,
closed within your arms
where the strings are attached.
it's conditional.
Faith,
admiration,
our loyalty,
together in eternity.

Wherever we may be
or whom we might have
the chance to see,
I hope you'll
be right
there next
to me.

hug
Tyler May 2023
hug
if I'm sorry
let's be sorry
together.
a weak embrace
is as
strong as
we hold it.

so hold tight,
we still have
the heavens to
soar in.

relax | jazz
Tyler May 2023
you make me feel like a Christmas piano /
your fingers play the way my heart speaks, right down to the beat /
fireside of crackling hewn timbers and smokey embers /
I am the fire, and you are the warmth of my desire /
hold me tight, and never let me go

dreams
Tyler May 2023
dream catchers,
  dream makers,
    and children of the nation,
enable me to create more - please.
there are fireflies in July, wet grass by May,
  where the monkeys sway in the sky.
Samson and Ezekiel,
    Mary is a daughter,
Moses has his pain.
  Give thanks,
     to everyone and everything;
   especially everywhere.
         Love your neighbors,
   respect their wills, and
respect their testimonies.
I'll love you forever,
   even after I will die.
For dreams- they never stray;
   they won't ever go away,
but they change,
they change in the light of day.

just to
care for

i'll tile the ladders
and build the scales
all for you
my sweet Jacob !
candy constellates
and cherry terrors,
liquorice anastasis
and
all her perveyors.

piano ensembles.
an orchestrated tragedy.
I cried today,
God has taken
another life
into his mysterious
glory.
Tyler Apr 2023
read my poems upon death
and that's where I'll be.
searching for light
through
sanctifiying flames.
and just when I'm going,
I'll be guided by my mother's
merciful grace.
the sorrow and compassion
shall come of the accidents'
victims and perpetrators
in forgiveness.

Dear May
Tyler Apr 2023
In May, may we ?
Don't say nothing- no,
don't say no.
Do you know you are the one that I
would write for ? So there
in May, may I ? So I may have every of my page have your name ?
For I feel this consent,
yes- I do. so please, don't say no-
for then I may not,
even when I can;
and maybe even
when we should.
Tyler Apr 2023
if you feel not in control-

you are the paintbrush and
the world is the canvas in
which you paint.
with words, with actions
with thoughts, with everything.
if I am the paintbrush,
then who or what is the artist
painting ?
is it me ?
is it you ?
is it us ?
could it be everyone ?
do I allow you to use me ?
to write what it is
the audience so pleases ?
and are we all paintbrushes ?
and, if so, is each to a collection
of which is the art ?

where is the source of your ink ?
for a pen is like a brush.
and what pictures are drawn from it ?

and how do you love ?
is it so openly a suggestion
you breath it out like air ?
you breath it in like perfume ?

well, the woods are starting to burn again,
and I can not deny that it smells fantastic.
(God is good.)

expressions of Mary
Tyler Apr 2023
She's always around
loving each boy
that need it
most.
She's an expression
of Mary,
the mother of Creation.
Tyler Apr 2023
I feel she's letting go,
I'm still a part of her drift.
she's been watching and
hoping for me-
another angel of my guard;
she will find me in someone
else lovely,
and he will
be her
reminder.

hold me in your arms-
as tender if we were
to leave tomorrow evening.
for i want to know the future,
but we always die so
suddenly.
please understand,
you deserve it just as
well.
find me;
where I am
within any other.

ambient delusions
Tyler Apr 2023
when my mom passed
i used to listen to the
ambient wildernesses
while i was off to sleeping.
crickets and windscapes,
ocean waves and raining water.
echoes from somewhere else.
it filled the room, and i drifted
to lands away where it was
calm as i could be, and i slept
soundly.

Bring me back to safety,
bring me back to my
sanctuary.

you are my sunshine
Tyler Apr 2023
the other day, dear,
the tears came from
your sunshine.

for as I lay sleeping,
I dreamed of us dancing melodies
and you tenderly gazing across my eyes.

but when I awoke dear, I was mistaken.
yet I had faith,
so I prayed
you not stay
from my side.

I'll always love you
and make you happy
if only that you would do the same.
I hope that we not regret it all
some day.

You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

depth of horizons
Tyler Apr 2023
depth of horizons
hands climb higher
hands wary lower

There are hilly horizons.
Hazy, smooth.
Pine- hard prickly foliages.
Barrens and fields. Endless lungs
                             spread for multitudes.

   Rich pink wind castle staircases
   Lush blue water ballet pool
Our heavens are leaking. Our chase is like a spiral. like a dance. like a dive. like an ascent.
we sink deeper.
we float lighter.
which of any of this is just
our own wonderland ?
who's to take credit for
all this love ?

Tyler Apr 2023
the love flows like water today,
can you feel it ?
i'm leaking into the wind.
the car windows are down.
it's flowing new;
cusping of old.

a motorbike turbo.
an anthem of courage.
resonant dynamos.
canted sliding streets.

the tower fell and now
we speak in so many
different ways.
so many different languages
more than even spoken by the mouth.

flash your brush
on every secret
we could hold to keep,
you lover.

of the medium
Tyler Apr 2023
I don't know if
            you know how
     much you mean to the worth.
   I'm immersed by you.
So please, sing, dance, work,
write. Whatever it takes.
Become the median, and
bear your realizations.
Smell the seas or feel the wind.
  And whatever they may be,
  your beauty is the integrity;
      integral to our love.

in a big pond,
have this rock.
the ground willn't

where will you see ?
will seas and seasons
be what time is to me ?

i want to have faith in you
but i want you like i want air.
raspy gasps
of
repulsions
and hasps.
unlock your
potential.
break free from
referential.
inhibitions are
limiting conditions.
reenvision the unreedeming.

Oh yes,
you are an angel of light.
like gold, like sight.

mindless abandon
Tyler Apr 2023
The thoughts come out like
   a stream into my words. I don't mind them.
They mean whatever they do.
Whatever the semblance your eyes
come across.
           I'm yours in that way.
       I wish I could change
    that reality,
          but I have no desire
        to change what has already been beautifully
        made.
               I'll keep at it.
              Even if in there everyone would
                  darken my shine.   Just
          Like an unlit candle in
               a room of only shadow,
               we could find the use out of you -
                                                          but you
            won't turn the lights on for me, and
          I refuse to burn your wicker if
            that your case.

The Writer
Tyler Apr 2023
the best poems that have been
made haven't been fully written
down with just words.
little pieces ?
  sure.
     Our memory can
      only really keep
              so much.

      But to see the
          poems flow
like the crowds of the multitudes
       that are a part of city streets,
             it is there that I feel
                everything;

              it is all fully written
                      down.

              Presently, I watch the
         Writer writing unrivaled opus.
                            the waves of wind.
                                   honking horns.
                                 the steps of feet.

                                    a child laughs.

good enough
Tyler Apr 2023
she's afraid he might just be more than everything she could have wanted.
the life, of endearment and comfort,
of excitement, of trouble, and the dreamy star-stuffs of the vision over hills.

but really, he is only just enough for her.
(he consists of only- like, hallmark platitudes)
and she deserves to be within " you are good and better of enough ".

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.
Tyler Mar 2023
make your muse the poet
and you shall be the muse.
make your poet the muse
and you shall be the poet.

are we clashing when I pull you thus ?
closer to my beating chest.
the spirit of
spinning our bodies,
but we're also making our
mind.
