Not Everything Is Made Up

Not Everything Is Made Up

By: Tyler Ross

Umm… I’m sort of at a loss.

The moment you feel hindered

distance between a being you really dig

I pay the cost

too big to be lost.

When connection buzzes high,

I don’t want to walk on by

or smother its wings

when wanting to fly.

But embrace its beauty,

a vibing powerhouse

full of stellar continuity.

Naturally sparked on its own,

uniquely grown

and a bonus of happy tones.

Gravitating.

Magnifying.

Reflecting time.

Give me a sign!

A logical piece of mind.

When you get too close to a friend,

somehow its bad

these days

and you scare them in the end.

Fuck!

Damn.

I’m aware. 

Feeling annoyed.

Instincts must be broken

because I became outspoken 

decided to bend

and extend 

my interests beyond

this unique bond

and now I feel like I did wrong

when all I did was flow.

Please know

I really liked our flow.

As You Are

As You Are

By: Tyler Ross

I’ll take you for a drive.

Like raindrops fall from raincoats;

like whispers leaving lips,

slowly away from fear of expectations.

I’ll be your guiding light,

a heartbeat to keep you safe at night.

Trust me as we lead,

to that place we used to meet

full of smiles filled with clarity.

To the rocket ship painted in dreams,

that was left for just you and me.

So come with me I’ll buy you the ticket.

Don’t sweat it,
it’s more than a visit.

I need you

like the Earth needs the moon.

I need you to come home soon.

Even if life could, I would never let you go, so

Please come with me I’ll buy you the ticket.
Don’t sweat it,

it’s more than a commitment.

I need you

to stay with me not just visit.

I need you more this time.

Your happy crystal eyes

like hypnotic melodies mesmerize,

like waterfalls draped in greens,

soothing, bringing out the best in me.

Don’t take your precious time.

Life won’t wait, it’s such a crime

to be without water, when you’re the sunshine.

And even deeper, you’re always on my mind.

So journey with me to our place

where distractions don’t have what it takes

and the road is open wide.

I need you most in my life.

So,

come with me I’ll buy you the ticket.

Don’t sweat it,
it’s more than a visit.

I need you

like the Earth needs the moon.

I need you to come home soon.

Please come with me I’ll buy you the ticket.
Don’t sweat it,

it’s more than a commitment.

I need you

to stay with me not just visit.

I love you, it’s our time.

Camera Shy

Camera Shy
By: Tyler Ross

An excuse is the Photoshop 

to photography, 

which only covers up reality.

When you felt guilty, 

you presented me with these pictures
to help justify 

your reason 

for leaving out the truthful image 

which is killing you 

inside.

Unofficial Agenda

She 

always kept him safe

in that place when she was all alone.

She loved two,
even when 

she called one her home.

Pause For Ten To Twenty, Maybe Thirty Minutes

Pause For Ten To Twenty, Maybe Thirty Minutes
By: Tyler Ross

Something about a warm shower

where I tend to reflect

and

wish

the most.

Never feel completely

cleansed,

but

something about being 

alone with 

the water's

drizzling sounds,

complete human 

silence

that makes

me

feel hopeful,

alive

and feeling

it’s worth

living at least one

more

day.

A Swiss Cheese Story With Deceiving Hormones

A Swiss Cheese Story With Deceiving Hormones
By: Tyler Ross

A true brain-melting discovery,

seeping its nonfunctioning ooze inside me.

Numb.
Hanging my head at the misdirection

that just snapped my neck.

Autumn is here or is it there?
Summer is beginning.
I no longer care.

Let go from the bowl of soul.

Stupidity wins again,

as I sit disillusioned to the news.

Unemployed with some feelings I’d like to lose.

My boss, my old boss can’t spill the truth.

So we broke the register, together... 

Now you want to treat me like a youth?

I thought this was Australia?

No night shifts,
but a place so laid back that the holes in your story

regurgitate too, cutting you more slack

then, severing my source of income

a month before I head home.
This was all that I had.

Ultimate

Ultimate

Focus your love

into my pillowed eyes.

And embrace my hands,

while I kiss your heart

forever.

Melt me again with another infectious smile.

I’m ready

for the world

we imagine

and discuss

everyday

to sweep us up

into fruition.

Buzz Kill?

Buzz Kill?

By: Tyler Ross

It was another late night

but it started to rain.

This night was something different

when it ended so insane.

I can't believe such dumb luck

then I realized

I'm not supposed to be happy

when you're seeing those other guys.

I hate to be so selfish

when we're out on a date.

But don't you find it funny

when things are going great?

That feeling of excitement

where you truly fucking care.

That's why it was surprising,

with your sex motive there.

Do you even care?

Is this a date or you just out to fuck me?

I can't relate when truth turns to nothing.

You smiled so bright. 

I liked you right on site

I wish you'd just grow up

and you'll see you're doing it right.

You've got me so miserable

reflecting on myself.

Feeling my accomplishment

is negative to your health.

Let's get something straight

you're afraid of a good thing.

But don't you tell me

I'm the one being mean.

You're misunderstood.

Is this a date or you just out to fuck me?

I can't relate when truth turns to nothing.

You smiled so bright. 

I liked you right on site

I wish you'd just grow up

and you'll see you're doing it right.
