the moon
casts
a brilliant
white mirror
of sunrise
splendor.
cold morning,
sobering deep
blues, and
with treats
of cotton candy
horizons.

Sometimes you wake up dancing
Knowing we have eternity to sing
Love is eternal
Faith above
Im going to name my daughter faith

she showed her eyes in the skies.

The crescendo lifts
Lifts my heart and soars away
Maybe it were my peak?

The rests of the music of my life
Ring louder than the notes
Tyler Feb 2019
"The rests of the music of my life
Ring louder than the notes"

So what if the rests resonate loudly than the notes?!
I say let them ring!

Let them halt the loudness of the chorus,
or the orchestra,
or the band.
Show everyone silence is a sound too!

Music isn't all about triumphant horns or beating drums,
And neither is life!

The beauty of silence in music goes largely unrecognized.

And the same thing goes for the music of life.

And you might be waiting for your next note,
Sitting, waiting; as you read the music.
And when the rest ends,
You will know it was needed to magnify the note.
So let the rests ring.
Tyler Feb 2019
Weak for a week,
Because of no eye for an eye.
We both saw the truth,
But I'm so far from the sky.
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.
The cycle of healing
Tyler Sep 2021
i think i see the nightmare now
i am better off gone
i always knew
-slowly i fade-
the words can't produce.
a maelstrom of mixed false and true.
too much to explain,
too little proof.
i earned that title of untrust
but feel unworth
(with my own known general worth)
of its definition.
~drifting through my trees~
i am more
than what others
mark me
but
i am less
than what others
brand me
i know what i believe
i am less than good,
but i am trying to do right.
i am more than bad,
i hope to understand.
i believe what i see
i still feel the need to be alone
a half of my life was given,
that now feels taken.
i am unbelievable
i hope one day
it'll be good.
i can never know what to do
but i search in vain
i don't know if its right to follow
but i still would love company
i hope you're okay .
Tyler May 2023
I'm a killer.
a western shooter.
my triggers
mark your
final punctuation,
and six shots
are your
final sentence.
a lifetime taken
to justice.
gunpowder
is your kind of
a last meal.
Tyler Oct 2021
is it vain to retrain the brain; to refrain from blame through thoughts of when, and which, was yesterday's sane?

to retrace, my steps, although im minor, not for hire and one's worth not sweet; some his words first taste couldn't be drier.
(and i feel at times, adept).

sworn words that dont taste of scorn
sorrid horns i beautifully adorn
halo in the high-lows, it never did go
cracked virtuoso, china wears thin

so life's machine i take some heed
enough to see my wishes in tow
hope makes me see life in between
,the space of my words i can see  
magic intervenes
Tyler Mar 2023
I would love to fall to love and love to love to fall again.
for,
my heart it beats.
my life it weeps.
forfeit: it is cease.
my soul
it is been wholey
yours.
and there is nevermore but to surrender
to yours.
Tyler May 2023
the clouds span above me
yet the horizon mountains
are in the sun
Tyler May 2022
in between the leaves
i see your face
as clear
as the day.
its whisper is as silent
as silence.
and quite clearly,
your noise settles through
the waters.
but this song is not about you.
i've proven this dream can drive without you.
streadily peddling up and down
mountains of rage,
in cool winds through the blades,
and some solace in a heavenous shade.
that i aim to engage,
entirely by my own two legs.


you tag along.
through the trees
and the frogs.
and i thank
you seriously
for my heart that has
evolved.

the ruin of something grandiose.

deny false disgrace.
but sharpen your ego.
don't harm your body,

Tyler Jan 2022
do you see me in a star?
a tree?
the ground touching your feet?
that wonderful picture you drew for the entire world to see?

a cloud?
a stick found?
an animal with a silly sense of the profound?

a little treat?
one to pop into one's mouth while in defeat?
a kiss?
a wish?
a tender lovesick?

a place far?
it a one far from bizarre;
a home built without arms?
a dead end?
a pool side tend?;
lost act of babtism in a man-made lake:
fenced in by my scars?

a whole head of lead;
one that gets a little too upset?
someone so far too in their dread;
to help?

a savant, a fool said, trail blazing by his own design?
but still one who found himself equal, amidst all of people; and loved them above their, and in turn, his own value?
all to the tune of a rhythmic soul's belt?


one could never truely know.
i only grasp at the collective human primordial seed.
to understand this waking world.
Tyler Jul 2021
Rest easy amidst the darkness
soaking in the shadow
A heart beats so shallow
the sweeping obsidian in the soul
a monumental metronome's shade looms as it
swings back to forth above
The spiritual vice that crushes ribs
that has yet to sunder
It carries weight, the more 'others'
the abyssal tides of nightmare's hive
It pulls my heart to earth
it fuels my soul with ink
It poisons my will
gives me reasons to leave.

around the chilly moon,
and its blizzarding blaze,
were pinhole stars that
slept soundly within its waves.

a moving milky daze.
crescive cloud's march
into moon's light-
it was a blessing in the haze.
Tyler Aug 2022
the dead body
lays still
as flies

impenetrable
tranquility.

never lose hope.
it will always have your back,
whether you know it or not.
it solely reimburses
complete faith.
confidence: determination: love: happiness.
it could light any dark room.

always pitting yourself
or using your position

against a lesser abled human

will always lead you to realizing you
are nothing
against a greater one

equality
will lead you to your greatest value

i have and had to find my own truth
before i ever help someone else
get to their's.
writing my answers
does not mean they
are yours
nor do i wish them to be.

"let me be your king
among slaves."
"all I will gift would have
been free from me.
every downtrod
I will take
in favor of every of your own
development I so wish to build."
But watch what you do of him,
for our sake,
he is not playing to win,
and we felt him leave too.

the season of forgiveness
is like the cold bite of snow
that now slides down your
stinging smiling face.

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.

~Share your mind~
and they might read it
Share your heart
and they might steal it
Share your thoughts
maybe they'll accept them
Share your words
~and hope they'll eat them~
Tyler Oct 2021
you saw the parts of what you hated
  in yourself in me
while i saw the parts i loved about myself
  in you.

times again it tends to switch
truth hurts
Tyler Mar 2022
I keep getting
waves of angst,
I've heard before,
that tie teasing ribbons
around my roots.
my heart runs rampant
for when you caress my soul
in my pursuit of love
in a scape of lust
I feel quite confounded
with your touch.
Tyler Aug 2023
you were only once,
now you're never again.
Tyler Jun 2024
you're on my mind
almost all of the time.

that's it.

my past might follow me,
chase up and catch me.
but atleast i will be in a wilder place-
lost again to be found.
driving down that road that is my path.

even if this is untrue.

my job as this poet
is to minimize pain
and to maximize healing.

minimizing the words
while maximizing the
heart's thump.
Tyler May 2022
the concepts are like objects,
like mirrors.
whatever you see
is in some part
your ownself.
focusing within,
we are all trapped
within our own mind
treating others outwardly how
we wish to be treated or it
a cry for help.

when i look in the mirror,
i love what i see.
i hope to not let it hurt me as i accept my own image,
only-
but if i see a little truth in
what others do
that i hadn't before.
then, its time to channel it more to good.
Tyler Aug 2021
Our silvered tongues dance

A serpentining elopement, unholy matromony of us devil's scraping symphony. Slashing swords, daggers strike embers into a kindling of deep desire. Stab into me, this poison that knows home in my soul and only makes bedding elsewhere when it needs rest.

The flesh of virgined neck defines my tongue and teeth's path; a malignant manifestation of a trail of rash and hive that marks us monsters.

It embeds me. I rest in my nest in their head
Tyler Mar 2022
the weaker side of you
that i saw
i loved too harshly.
enough to make
it want to hide away.
i loved you when you were
strong too- when big brother came to shield you and when you were
like a mountain i could
eface with time-
and now on normal grounds
i hold honor for the fragments both of your whole; the capitulating growth in the found strength in your weaknesses and the found weaknesses of your strengths.
for knowing when one is
weak they are strong
and when one is strong
that they are weak.
im hoping the same respect from you.
Tyler Apr 2022
i never forget friends
and
what is lost is something
that has yet to be found
again.
Tyler May 2022
rightful justice will come
for my heart full of health
and bountiful love.
i will live in the woods, i hope
you would join me;
if not for just a little.

second pair of eyes

Tyler Oct 2021
i mainly use blue
it is my #1.
my true natured ego.
i love using red.
it is my #2.
and while ultimately its color
rings just not as true,
i serve, my egos; it a pallet of colors.
many to see
many to look out for:
#73 pairs well with my #84
#7 i've seen only from long distance
#10 hates me dearly
#5 would make you weep sincerely
#18 you could look through clearly
#229 matches the wind blowing past the chimes
and #35 leaves me out of breath
these
oranges with blues
some have purplish tones too!
reddish green, mixed
in its hest i agreed.
a mix of them all,
swirling to keep my servitude
because these colors are i,
as much as they are them
honoring all makes
it all anything, but none


rainbow of this love,
how could one choose,
looking out for only #1
is a life ill continue choosing to lose
arbitary numbers

walking along the way
how many would slowly **** you

on their road to salvation

a freedom fighter
lasting in his family name

too just, to throw him in a cage
my chains befit as weapons
Tyler Jan 2024
ive looked different every season
a new face with a changed reason
picked up a new scar, that was once a lesion

it's hard to keep it straight
like a new task that im returning late
some will call it karma, some would call it fate

my past is a lesson, my past is a weight
it's golden, it's a blur
only some would relate

Tyler Aug 2022
I've been doing eye surgery.
I can finally begin to see the world
as I used to.

Blueberry soda
and orange sherbert ice cream.
Strolls with cousins and
little rhymes within mom's
metaphors.
She had eyes in the back of her head
that cast light into our hearts
that she had birthed from nothing.
