unforgivable actions
Tyler Jul 2023
I put my uncertainty
  into the paper
      but it doesn't make
       it any less true.
God takes me through
        so much falsehood
    shows me there's not anything
       more new.
take the hint,
there must be a purpose
to follow the truth
             you delude.

to see you hurt left me a terrible unease.
cringeworthy..
wrists breaking,
eyes poked,
or
bruised knees.

eughh..
Right to my core.
please be careful
out there Sprout.

Gloria
Tyler Jul 2023
she's a temple named Beautiful,
a star named Bethany,
her heart is a clear cut core
of jasper, jacinth, and an ebony.
she's safety- like a rabbit's hat habit,
she's the magician's secret Sapphic,
and I'm just the poet
looking upon her like Truth
and she is the Faith.
I couldn't, nor can't,
despise my eyes to
take them off of
her

the park of drakes
Tyler Jun 2023
I'm convinced          
   the butterfly hefts
from here to there;          
the duck trusts me enough
to dive his head next to my danger.
webby feet
motor boat
muncy munchs
pulling feathers from my breast
freeing froggy
he let Freddy go
hoppy hoppy
splashing splishes
yoga swatches
power of a thousand winds
picture poses
doggy greetings
grouplove meetings
walk path leadings
like yearbook signatures,
baseball fields,
bike rides.

third wheel
Tyler May 2023
You didn't love me,
you just loved
how it made you feel.
When that dream ended,
so did the deal.
You found another man,
and made your appeal.
With your mistress,
in the distress,
you've went
and made yourself
another wheel.

highway rainfall
Tyler May 2023
the rain
                                 inspires
                                      the land,
                             storms of
                                               deliverance.
th­e rain is upon my skin,
I am the lilac,
                                        the rain is upon my skin.
the clouds the sky the trees the birds the dirt
within my roots: there is everything.
they're spreading through this land
I have sought;
they're spreading through this land
I have found.
Tyler May 2023
I'm sorry,
    I haven't been myself.
But no need to fear, because love is what
   you deserve.
  We want no devils in this house,
       we want the Lord,
          we want everything.
    Serenity, peace; whatever we
          know we need.
        A God dream: A light beam.
  And I'm trying to keep to my faith;
        somewhere I can be safe.
     But I ain't finished, I'm devoted,
        I'm aware I'm a king,
ya, you know it.
     One destined to be a debaser !
   feats of perihelion !
     I am a man !  Cut from the know ! Wrapped in iron lung !
To deathless purgatory !
   Dancing with my eyes and lips !
   I can't stop ! I'm addicted !
I'm an animal !
    Strike me in my distress !
Out of control !
     We're out of control !
   Persecute those whom are weak,
just so we may feel strong !
   Crush those that beg at your feet !
            **** yourself !
       Come on and do us all a favor !
   Show your teeth !
A lover or a fighter !
   The day was come I was to
  mourn you !
A little loaded, steal another breath !
Who knew the other side of you ?!
      Gone too fast !
        Rest in peace !
I'm freaking out on the interstate !
     I feel their stares !
I'll leave this all behind us if we dare !

Annie Anadaze
Tyler May 2023
She's a dreamboat
  in the tunnel of love,
      white lightning like white wine,
  fluorescent lights in purple rain;
a deep crazy,
     an even deeper affection.
  her love is like magic,
      we're enthralled in
             respect.
    She is good, she is better,
      my favorite, and my best.
        my heart; the reason:
             why it beats in my chest.

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 us 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.

closed within your arms
where the strings are attached.

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

Tyler May 2023
you make me feel like a Christmas piano /
your fingers play the way my heart speaks, right down to the beat /

I am the fire, and you are the warmth of my desire /
hold me tight, and never let me go

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.

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.)

loving each boy

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 ?
