Tyler Cooley Poems

One final look at your reflection
An image blurred, what can you see?
A ripple barely breaks the surface
Your life a stone cast to the stream
...

Try not to think too hard now
Don't let the past come to the front
In the end it's what you wanted
The same desire in different font
...

Is anything real?
Are we truly alive?
Is free an expression?
Just a thought in our minds?
...

Searching for a better reason
Why she's coming as you're leaving
With a hollow heart you're watching
As all care goes with the seasons
...

The mother dressed in white
Her wrappings carried through the night
This weight upon the world
Imperfection far from sight
...

This is the beginning
The beginning of an end
Upon a concrete throne
Foundations built on sins
...

I have known pain
The prick of a needle
And the ache of a tooth
I have known pain
...

We might walk, we might run,
Or just stay where we are
And speak of our dreams,
How we'll make it so far
...

Tyler Cooley Biography

Most call me Tyler. My writing stems from personal experiences, and an ever-evolving outlook on the world. I am a musician, art enthusiast, writer, and at times the definition of controversy. Tread lightly in the world that my words create. Otherwise, you might find yourself in a place you never thought you could understand, nor would ever want to.)

The Best Poem Of Tyler Cooley

The Waters

One final look at your reflection
An image blurred, what can you see?
A ripple barely breaks the surface
Your life a stone cast to the stream

When could you ever matter?
Like the stone, your mark is small
What could you ever offer?
Where's the meaning in it all?

Stand before a raging river
Try to see where it begins
Then take a look a little closer
You just might see where you fit in

We're all just ripples in the waters
Each so meaningless and weak
Yet when the ripples come together
We finally find the strength to speak

This world we'll call the river
Us, the stones thrown from the bridge
Becoming one within the waters
You're not alone in all of this
