a perplexed pen
Tyler Oct 2022
women are like poetry-
they speak profusely profound
in or between their lines,
they can be deep like Hell or
miraculous like Heaven,
and they empower me
greatly to make this love .

my longest poem
titled 'eternity'
has been written
in finding
when to better
understand or to
better surrender
myself to poetry's craft.
and when is it that I would ever find exactly what it is about her that affects me so true ?

in pain
until they found

something else was born-

So he played on til

alone as if we aren't
Tyler Aug 2022
I took a walk with God tonite.
She was as bright and lovely as the streetlights, as misty and ominious as the nightly grass, and as beautiful as the stars.
Sometimes she liked to be like the constellations, sometimes she liked to be like him, but this night- they all had embraced. I never would have to let that go.

I took a drive with God. We sang to the top of our lungs; all of our little love songs. It sounded like death- slashing strings, clashing cymbals, and vicious vocals- but we knew it to be peace. We talked of our horrible driving as we let our hand steer the wheel. The silence between songs was welcomed, *****, and nothing more than yearned for. We filled it with lovely daydream.

I took a chance with God. I looked up and heard the wisdom in their name every day. I cashed in my faith, I let go the err to the air, and I offered and reached for hands in hopes they'd take it too. I followed his lead and weathered his storm and I found calm between. A sailor whistling with each and every wave.

Part of God died what feel like some decade ago.
She my loss, my gain, my grief, my strife, my pain.
My lack of spirit,
my loving endearance.
She- my determination, my heart, my unwavering image.
My mother.
My child.
He- my north star, my guardian angel, my astral shepherd.
My father.
My wild.
It- my compass and my map and my path stained with tears.
My mind.
My truth.
My guide to divine.
Stood alone, I hear it, I taste it, I smell it, I see it, I feel it.
They- my love, my family, my word, my God, my soul-
but entirely,
my self.

my affirmative faith
Tyler Aug 2022
My heart drives me.
My soul guides me.
My mind transmits me-
I am happy.

I have traversed the sailor's swirled depths to walk on water to the land across those seas.

I have gone through darkest tunnel to bask in light.

Trekked through valley and mountain- to hills beyond.

I am an eternal student, a teacher in that own right.

Follow, and I shall lead-
Lead, and I could follow.

I have made peace in hell and fought with love for all brothers and sisters throughout.

And chances are, I will have to traverse the cycle again.
Losing and gaining and keeping and welcoming people throughout;
my heart carries all them inside and
my soul is built from broken pieces of time that
my mind makes lasting stone cloud-castles
out of that dust of ephermal sand.



Once I reach the end of this, that is when the true poetry will begin;
I believe it so.

these spiders in the rafters
don't weave webs,
they just stare with
all 8 legs and 53 eyes.
hark they marking their prey from
high above.
they want me to
save myself by wandering my eyes up
to them camoflauged in the architecture and
play in their mirage of angels that
give like gargoyles.
well, I wonder if they feel the spit
as it lands on the concrete at
my feet.
or miss the kiss of sanctity's sweet.

this sweetness of your lips,
you are saved by your enlightening
love.
even your hate,
come from love.
you flagellate
the heat straight from my
rigid devious bone to bring me up
rather than down.

tear down my vice,
and I would still **** your innocence
within my undeserving needed respite;
like a vampire,
a monster at my own right -a human at best, yet I cursed and blessed to believe in your light.

God designated me as above so below.
so, I crawl to highest mountain with broken body to even capture a fraction of your image.
been listening to a lot of my chemical romance, can ya tell?  lol

that cast light into our hearts
