good enough
Tyler Apr 2023
she's afraid he might just be more than everything she could have wanted.
the life, of endearment and comfort,
of excitement, of trouble, and the dreamy star-stuffs of the vision over hills.

but really, he is only just enough for her.
(he consists of only- like, hallmark platitudes)
and she deserves to be within " you are good and better of enough ".

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.

the epitome of transcendental solitude; my ego: the poet's world; contracted from loss. recently kept silent to others; exchanging ignorance for their bliss.

winds of desire
Tyler Oct 2022
she deserves love,
but does she deserve my love ?

my love has been molded by a cruel
world with nursing hands and
blessed by its mystical wandering
quandaries, is it right to allow
her into that tempestuous labyrinth ?
I find that desire is healthy while in the understandment of the desire to let go of everything after that fact

It's like wishing upon a shooting star and not wanting to take away its magic- if it allows me its power I am grateful, if it doesn't allow me it then I let go of its light
and I would always miss its shine

you're just a plot of the heart,
conning my soul to stories you
didn't or couldn't tell better.

subjugatting with pity, all because we believe you to be more than you are.

this is not revenge.
we do still believe.
sadly i can not be led anymore
by a plan so rooted in the pessimistic past.

optimism in the current:
the present of life; surfing the waves of time happy.

believe in its guiding hand with faith unwavered by the destined life we
must lead to death, it being good or bad. Accept your selfs, with love we will all heal.
i can't even put a pin on myself,
you think you could or can?

we constantly evolve

amidst this marsh
Tyler Oct 2021
the song of nature's brilliant notes

leaves brush off their nearest friend
and scrape to each beat of the tree's heart

the birds call to their be-loved
across mirror edged pond that
one bad step would shatter to an infinite well clearly seen as the night sky on this canvas of water
duck gandolas traverse its scape heeding the way for the pack behind
bravely spreading the heavens within their wake

yet the bugs, how they produce sound so freely
serene strings relay a contingence of something familiar
a home of nightlights strung by wings flittering, generating the fire inside for
not only themselves but I.
i hear their tongue again

but it costs as little to all to listen

evanescence
Tyler Oct 2023
the consequences for her were too steep
but they didn't have to be
they didn't have to be

on the other side there was dreaming
it was pretty
and it was sure sweet

I carried you through the rolling windy glades
in a bear-hug hold
clasped firm and hands held tight.
on the mountainous meadow pass,
where there were endless open skies,
I carried you there

but losing you was like the death of a best friend.
so the goodbye was quick,
yet luckier than most-
a kiss on the cheek.
but I turned to be awoken by a series of questionable
wake-ups

was I just dreaming ?
for the wind at the edge of the hill was like rapture,
blowing my body away piecewise;
a dust alike to evanescent starlight

Cosmic Canvas
Tyler Aug 2023
Stars shimmer in the ink-black sky,
A cosmic dance, a lullaby,
Eyes upturned, to heavens we glance,
In the universe's eternal expanse.

They're like dreams in the night's embrace,
Glimmers of hope, a guiding grace,
Diamonds scattered on cosmic thread,
A story of life, when they're overhead.

Oh, the beauty of stars that gleam,
Each a wish, a whispered dream,
Twinkling secrets in the night,
A canvas of wonder, pure and bright.

With constellations as stories told,
Ancient myths in the skies unfold,
They remind us of worlds unknown,
Infinite mysteries, yet to be shown.

A celestial ballet, they perform,
Upon the Earth's edge, they adorn,
like a necklace of pearl or twinkling
stones,
Guiding the sailors, the lovers, and the poets too,
Stars are always there, a connection between me and you.

letting go
Tyler May 2022
you are love to me,
and love is every single thing in this existense.
seriously not unlike to God.
letting go of you.
is letting go of love.
letting go of everything.

it is an extremely difficult thing.
it all, not unlike to death.

yet,
the need of, and the life is there after, it.
not unlike to heaven.
the beauty there, it is awe incarnate.
a land where life and love, they
live after death.
every day,
all in the every single right way.
in the grandest possibility imaginable.

aswell,
love is my nothing.
as everything would entail this,
this nothing.
what comes of it?
but, everything?

Love,
it is eternal.
sleep, it is my nothing.
everything, it is my day.

the nightmares,
you must awake.
I pray there is happiness in your hearts
.

shall I synthesize your imagination ?
electrical impulses,
like singing sparkling stars
or a dive in lush deep green turquoise sea cities.
the complete notes there,
the ground has placed,
all in where we shall play.

the diatribes, in love,
of the framers and constructors
shall build and destroy
upon us the corrections.
do we trust
angel's blueprints
and shepherd's paths?
Well,
no matter,
loving phosphorous
flows in canals of
poetry and marble
aqueducts like our veins.
cathedrals weren't
built on nonsense,
but truth.
yet still the heaven's creator
is just
less than
discernible.
hiding eternally within
the architecture.
and I would not have it any
other way.
Tyler Dec 2021
i could nitpick myself
for hours.

enough to establish bruising,
cuts,
or scrapes.
plucking every hair out of my body.

worry about how good
the language is,
or how pretty the dreamscape.

why beat myself up.
my thoughts are my own.
i only wish to grow into someone that took as much time in this as i do.

and with it someone who sees
and who can fill in all the silence
of the ignorance to my life.
someone who can show me
how I've truely lived.

maybe we could kiss those lacerations
and brandish those scars.
show and tell,
to someone that loves me well.

my heart swims,
it dives;
then it soars,
it flies,
at the mere prospect
of a life lived.
i only guess what words
define that concept
of what I've done.

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.
Tyler Apr 2022

I didn't know how to do right by you.
As you dug the answer beneath every one of my sins, virtues, and charms.

I am now standing amidst dusty dirt,
at this quarry of knowledge, as the vessel I had been made that which had then been unmade to self-standing me.

Unlike any other so close, even after a massacre of my being, I will teach you there's love in everything you know to hate,
and to forgive all you've learned to regret.
Slowly building testiment of integrity
in deadlands that could have once housed a castle.

if you see the worst
in someone
and everyone
you meet,
for so long,
it ruins your model
  in which you struct
     your self.
~

           no wonder,
you are what you read.

pessimistic blood bleeds
purple urch. ylck.

an optimistic heart
leaves blood with
    slivers of silver.
and it, like happiness
that floats of the
River Sanguine.

Hope you get back there.
Something in me
knows you will.

Where everyone's
voices around you
are better than they
are, they say the right
things in between the
blanks where their loving true soul shines through. a heavenly mastery in a godly forgiveness of what
that we are still left, no matter of the matter, somewhat, ignorant.
it's a blessing, as much of a curse.
I couldn't quite put my finger on it,
yet truth and belief are my key to this whole.

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
when we broke,
when it didn't work
itself out,
i left the definition,
the labels that you
constrained me in,
and you kept to
that i left
even when, i said and knew, i
was still there all along.
when i was still the same man.

dangling in front of your face
hidden in plain sight
the same love i had gave
under new names.
you felt none of my gaze,
the heaven's light never
ceased,
i was just the ghost
trying to gift you a way
to the key
of your own head-maze.
