No, what is life without fear?

Yes, what is growth without seed?

You have been an impostor to yourself,

and the mirror is opaque.

Tremors loom faceless choirs,

bellowing runes of disjoint.

Subconsciousness cradles reality,

and awakens the false soul.

Fate Is Very Uncool.
Tyler S Anderson Aug 2015
As it seems to be,
The days connect
In make believe.
The summer’s eve
Won’t sing to me
And as we sigh,
So foolishly,
We’ll feel regret
For everything.
For nothing ever
Truly ends.
No letters written
Ever send.
Our words will lurch
At every turn,
In hopes to reach,
Or to return,
To whom it always
did concern.
A love you’d always
dreamt to earn.
A whisper fated
- To adjourn.

Forlorn La(57)Gusto
Tyler S Anderson Sep 2015
As wasted sunlight drops upon the skin of atoms,
I sigh limpid ghosts along hell’s diamond eyes.
Out they shake with gusts of dubiety.

Ouch!

The glow ignites my wintered skin.
The rarest turns to pain again,
Yet, I am safe in lush calm sin.
I wish to saunter home again.
- I wish to feel at home again.

She is my home,
But she is not where home is.
When will home wander to me?

We’ll set the breadth aflame
And expose what lies in the ashes between us.
Dancing,
Until our flesh turns white.
Tyler S Anderson Apr 2015
I have seen a lot, yet I've -
not seen enough.
It’s all been gone for so long now,
And time has forgotten us.

Mangled, crude, palettes of motion,
dizzying the senses;
All trying to deactivate,
and acknowledge the moment.

… You are eternal in thought.

I haven’t seen enough. You still
tell me, a lot.
Our faces will change in the night,
but yore memories will not.

Melodious, compulsive, silences in rhythm,
enrapturing harmonics;
Desperate to inseminate,
in which, we are broken.

… You are eternal in me.
Tyler S Anderson Apr 2015
They move as lace
through the discarnate night;
Soft, volitional footsteps along disturbing corridors,
with outstretched
scalpel-esque appendages,
******* five, adjacent, stimulating patterns-

getting deeper-

 
Deeper.


And flashing their leer
of quivering needles.
Lullabying odiums to Johnny-*****;
Drinking his breath in the night.

O, for an exposed ripe?
Seeing only a diced-fraction of hell?
Will you not rest in the light?
Or wisp away in the rigid winds of reality?

The dawn is riding forward-

As the last tree in the forest falls with a whisper.
Tyler S Anderson Mar 2015
She let the wave come around her legs.

… A soft, and welcoming trail.

What wonderful murmurs the sun had spoke!

The spirits, who carried them over the neon haze,

made his eyes become pale.


He let his hand press against her own.

… But sadly, he felt no affection.

His nerves began to cringe at the beauty.

Severed, he trudged with the smells of sweat and spray.

Drenched in a pensive reflection.


He dropped to the sand and screamed in mute.

… I was adrift, abandoned, coy.

We dreamed of picking the broken glass from the swell, for you.

Doused, and wistfully crawling through the foam -

Never assuming her guilt, sat the clueless boy.


Torn between child, and God’s own courier.

… I began to surface, floating aimlessly.

The man in the sand, and the boy lost at sea -

Are one in the same.

Just like him.

Just like me.

We laughed.
She smiled.
But the sea wept  -
For what could never be.
Tyler S Anderson Apr 2015
If only you realized
what you do to me.

My yolk drips from
the ruined shell, and
evaporates in the sun.
All yellow to yellow.

As if the ovate would
smudge your lipstick,
and fill the cracks in-
between your ribs.

A sunflower smile.
A sunflower smile.
Fulvous and Stoic.
A crocus never cries.

Push me to the back,
'cause all the others
are intact, whoa, just
push me to the back.

And leave your lemon-
peels at the door, all
tawny from the souls.
Flaxen stains on the shoe.

A split libido.
A peeled banana.
With no-one to slip.
Makes me wanna laugh.

Love me nots in mounds,
until the nucleus is barren.
Oxeye's odds in hell.
I'll leave it up to chance.

Lachrymose, My Darling.
Tyler S Anderson Jan 2016
A brash and destructive rage pulls the petals of life
from a sun-drenched flower.
How the tears and rain have nothing to grow,
but brash and destructive rage.

For The Animal.
Tyler S Anderson Apr 2015
To be in New York at the hour of your resolve
would be to contribute a tear with a titan
whom realized your misery,
and revelations.
To see your reflection in every mourner;
A kaleidoscope of what the head
could not surmise.
The downtrodder's voice
speaking out once more, for us.
Smirking,
and rushing through the streets;
The pallbearer of your own passage.

The gutters have lost their rat-king.
The utterance lost their laureate,
and I have lost a friend, to which,
our existence was never known.
To you, Lou.
Tyler S Anderson Mar 2015
Heavenly dew lay -

Dreams from daunting desires,

Across the night sky.

A Wish To Dream.
Tyler S Anderson Jul 2015
I wish to be held
in the fluttering midst of your lashes.
To dream and lie
in soft gardens of green and dismissal.
I wish to be sunk
deep through the enclosing of your gashes.
A stream drank dry,
with decayed skeletons of sweet thistle.

I dare not divulge
How I loathe,
How I want.
I dare not indulge
In my breath,
Nor my heart.

I wish to be drunk!
How the merlot might rain onto my earth!
To fit and cry!
The tortured soil in pleasure and respite.
Oh, I am compelled,
To curse all monickers shared unto worth!
Now dreams must die!
Drowned amongst wretched ripples of moonlight!

I will not become
Who I loathe,
Who I want.
I will abstain from
My own breath,
My own heart.

Who’s In Your Skin?
Tyler S Anderson Jul 2015
Slumped and grumpy.
Soft and ugly.
God’s at the end of my bed.
I rolled around
And lost my head.
God’s at the end of my bed.
The farthest I could be.

They fake *******:
Dust’s collecting in a box.
All alone
I ******* teeth.
Lonely tongue
Itching sores
On the back of your neck,
Surfacing amongst silk
Far, far way.

Entangled comings
That spread through static
I hope are lost.
I hope you’re lost
Running over follicles,
Allowing them to breathe
And drip.

God is at the end of my bed.
I lose my head.
God is at the end of my bed.
I take his head.
The closest we could be.
Tyler S Anderson May 2015
The air matches the forest deep.
Its Auburn glow weaves congestion into thick dimensions.
The grass, and leaves, and trees coexist in this moment of surreality.
A sepia trim around a coordinated portrait -
The eye cannot adjust to a moment irreplaceable.
A melting slathered teardrop falls slowly.
The tree's push this far into the sky -
Not pushing, but holding, rather.
As a weeping mother catches her child and slowly descends them.
She cannot hold forever,
and the red of scars, disaster, and reflection advents.

She let’s the child wander;
Developing.
Enveloping.
And black does become the night.
Delicate, and sluggish, this darkness falls.
Her arms can bear no more,
as the sunset-soul consumes an arcane definite.
Droning below the lake,
of which no hills sit near.
Charcoal weighing down the once prepossessing light -
of nature’s *****.

A soft whisper,
And death.

Dreams…
And guilt.

"Free us of his torment!”
Cried the leaves: post-wilted.

"He’ll devour us by his own light!”
Shrieked the trees: un-guilted.

"Why entwine such sedulous melancholia?”
Squealed the breeze: pre-juilted.

Oh! Do despair in blessedness!

Oh! Does the flora mourn for her exaltation!

But…

Oh,

Does his darkness revile the ***** soul -

In impassioned ecstasy.

Unrequited Tenderness
Tyler S Anderson Jun 2017
I've written a thousand words
I've dreamt a thousand dreams
Oh, how bleak
Oh, the dread
Of knowing what to say
And saying what you know
To only be misread
Not knowing how to show

I've decayed to my bones
I've rotted to my roots
Oh, this death
Oh, my brain
From being who you are
And showing my whole core
To only be misread
Not knowing what it's for.

I Wish I Could.
Tyler S Anderson Mar 2015
I saw him again.

He chuckled at my presence.

Please love her for me.
Tyler S Anderson Apr 2017
This distaste for life,
It beckons me.
it ruins me.
Severing my aching nerves
to those who love me.

This sopping wet-hearted life.
I’m wasting it.
I’m washing away.
squeezing what’s left from within
For a reason quite unburdened.

This dead man’s life.
I can’t become it.
I relinquish it,
for those who seek impurity
you have my blessing.

This artist’s imprisonment.
My abysmal life.
My intimate fantasy.
secretes from the ducts
of the one who bears none.

Our Small Cups
Tyler S Anderson Apr 2017
Our small cups will fill
Our small cups will overflow
Like graves on a plot
A rivulet to the soil
Pouring till the end of time

— The End —
