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.

love is a pool,

love is a pool,

predetermined will.

love is a lake.
in which at times your lungs burn,
to which a breath is needed,
and a break delivered.

i have some eternal longing.
questions for nature
thankful for the hydra that is
a question.
there has to be no answer.
anguished traversal,
i am weary for this
  there is no release
   no relief.
    no ends to this mean.
besides the
     beyond and this line in between
  i question why i live
    yet the answer lives in death


~~ am i really a monster?
these arms sewn by sewer stunk sinue
  soaked by one's false sense of savant
these eyes flit to blue and brown,
from  
 pointed to round,
  ears stiffened yet drowned
  who hears strangers say hes the
   talk of the town
    all of it tends to incredulous noun .
   a seed of some doubt,
   covered in honey,
   placed as my heart.
   i only wish that i and it, drift apart
   because when i rest
   i try to take my legs off;
   one at a time, i hope it hurts
   rip off my face;
   as thin as it may be
   snap myself out of my craze;
   you know you cant dream
   lift the ball-chain of my soul;
   and place it on your chest
   and die to live some other day:
because you cant love to my own behest

i dont know if its good to try to do better; or only one's best

Night
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.

Sun Cancer
Tyler Sep 2021
My soul is wavering on my form. Fit to boil.
This soul simmering, on leaf silhouted sun's heat.
A past night's sleep that caught an errant plight amongst twilight's cloud topped 'delight'.
A dream to be clear, the one's to wake up, as told at beginning.
I dont quite translate well what it is I am trying to say, without my painted words. But I will try to do so without a sense of denying dignity.
I feel this seed planted in self-denial that I question who planted, but know who watered.
I am relieved from you.
I may have your voice in my head that I call my dreaded disease.
But I am relieved from you.
You fueled all of my seeds, the passion grew anew from you.
You mused me.
Amusing to say now, at the least, that you still had to abuse me through the
wicked lines I'd find, that you'd only
deny,
all in my stifled cries, painful times, wicked loaded lies, and all of accord to your  so  called, caring crimes.
Do not worry too much.
The amount of pain is nothing new. And nothing short.
You just, if I may: childlishly, scratch at the wavering clouds of my soul,
wilting away the pedals of the light of the sun that the steam catches in golden brilliance watching delightfully as it falls and disintegrates in a puff plume to dust.
My reality falters to a closer gross sum.
Each fleck of life you pick off me fills my seeds with even more anguish.
I am at peace.
Calm.
I know your process all too well.
I refuse to look.

i feel better after writing this, poetic justice?
who knows, its just cathartic.

I suppose this warmth coming
out of this wooly tiger
could be nothing but
a warm heart.

He made up the rules
as he went along.
A game that was wild
and so fun,
but needed a good
time. Arguments, with no referee,
it could be no fair
to those that were involved.

Hard times make good games
and better players,
he knew well.
He loved to death the monster;
he slept soundly within its den.
Snoring profusely like he part of its pride.

there was something or another
lovely and lonely
that was shared for a brother

that you could have called it his and yours

it was, a boring hiss,
a submissive kiss,
like a leering lisp;
and there he sat,
and there he missed
missing with his last
goodbye wish-
for you ran,
you ran,
until you were

Maybe I mean confusion,
