The pie an’t sweet enough
So I’ll have a slice to go
Bag me up some strudel
And a dozen donut holes
We ain’t got no mask
Gloves are hardly free
I’ve been hiding out so
At least stay back 10 feet

Into the pocket a reach
Virus control breached
Keep the change
We’ll take the chance
And hope our courses
Don’t meet

Hours into the first awakening
The freshly thawed swamp
Echoes with new spring life
50 Fahrenheit in the sun
My spirit renewed
Wayton to realign
Setting on a hillside
Feet propped on a tree
Mather earth is so Kind
And this body I’m blessed to be
.........................

I lost him
A while ago
Every now and then
People still greet him
I’m not sure
Who they thank
“I am”

Yet he came around
Just the other day
He took the reins
While I was unaware
He insisted that everybody
Go outside and stare up at the stars
It was a magical moment

Man can he party!
I woke up the next day with a hangover
And he was gone again
So why you’re out there
Stumbling around in your daily life
Go outside look at the sun look at the stars
Don’t wait for Tim to show up.

You ate every last worm
Of my rotted soul
So...
Soullessly is how I roll

Don’t take me out of contest
Don’t take me for granted
What I’m actually conveying
I’m a hero and a bandit
Above the table
I’m quite underhanded
I’m a salesman
Out to land it

As an artist
I architect my story
Crash and burn
Or
Endless glory
I am humbled
Entitled to breathe
I am a rockstar
Down on my knees

Try to keep up please

Just when you think
You’ve reached your goal
Life is full of *** holes
On easy road
..........

What has love done for me?
I can count on one hand,
four maybe five perhaps three
people who actually love me

Sad but true what has love
ever done for you?
Perhaps it’s time to make a move
Just one good lover would be enough
After all these times are getting tough

The little bit of love I have I hold dear
I take the wheel and carefully steer
What more needs to be said?
I need more love before I’m dead
Before I come back to haunt
So come and get some love if you want
Don’t roll over and go to sleep
Spread the love both far and deep
...........

I all ways said
If anyone ever
Put a hand on her
I would **** them
Slowly
I’ve had a long
Painful death
Every years since
.....................

And when they come for me
To put me somewhere I don’t want to be
Somewhere I can never stay
Saying things I could never say
In accordance too
What the devil has in mind
Bodies in refrigeration
It’s Mad Max time
Disease ridden bats
Festering slop of swine
I could hide out here all day
In boxes made of pine 🌲

This is a global advisory

The Traveler has been in contact
With the quantum subatomic
Microscopic level intruder
Like a hungry ape
The virus is in a feeding frenzy
Swinging from molecule to molecule
I hereby
Claim poetic immunity
To any pandemic collection
May you all be safe.

Ghost
prying their way back
into the world of the living
blurs in the dark
shadows blowing in the wind
insisting on getting back in
in my peripheral vision
I catch a glimpse
ghost have gathered
around my quiet place
more than usual
how many more
shall gather
I wonder

How would you like to die
At the end of a pathetic lie
Draining the life out of me!

Chokehold gasping
Memories flashing
Would that set your spirit free

Deep sea diving
Mountain climbing
A swarm of angry bees

Race car driving
Jet air flying
Crash and burn
In misery

Don’t you die
Don’t you die for me!

There I found peace
In the realization
Of synthetic euphoria
Waiting and looking forward
To the end of calamity
Serenity is kind to us
Feel the world slow down
Hear the children yawning
The weary look in the old folks eyes
Knowing too well
That someday maybe soon
We are all be moving on
In peaceful serenity
............

Hello India how’s it going?
Hay out there England what you knowing
And Ireland it’s good to read ya around
All those countries in Africa
Got it going down!
And around the Mediterranean
I love to hear from all of ya!
Oh beautiful Canada
White and cold
and raw
Beautiful Mexico City
Where summer never ends
Japan I can only guess
South Korea north It depends

But where are the Russians
Bold and true
Hey North Korea
We wonder about you
And mighty China
Your borders run deep

Turkey A scuffle
At the
Border of Greece
But dealing with the US
Who can keep the peace
......

I suffer from a surprise left
The never ending fight
All I saw was black  tights
I only loose it late at night
I guess I never got back up
From life's patented upper cut
Year's I've spent in somatic  extreme
I surrendered to my unconsciousness
    Now life is but a dream
Or is it a meme?

My argument
Is legally sound
The evidence
Speaks for itself
I’d bind it over
Capital Hill with it
But of course
Who can one trust?
Our corrupt media
Is quite
Ripe for adjournment

Looking into a mirror
Studying my reflection
I don't know who I am
I can't find a connection
I'm
Not sure how to wear
This hansom blimpish face
As a Traveler I explore
The whole human race
I'm
Hoping but not praying
My soul need not to rest
Memory foam I lay upon
I've forgotten less and less
And I....
Can't find no connection
Studying my reflection
I'm
Not sure if we're all going to make it...

I'm not afraid
That's not why
I'm shaking
I just got off a hard night
of dreaming
I was running....Ya
...I'm unable to recall
Being chased perhaps
Down familiar halls
I can still feel your apathy
For all things life had done to me
My weapons stumble and stall
As hard as I try I can't **** at all
Lucky for you!
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I must confess
Shock value amuses me
I like to watch peoples faces
As I pull their legs
Freak them out
Blow their minds
Pull the wool over their eyes
After all acting is an approved lie
I play the cop sometimes
CAN I SEE SOME ID!!!
I'll shout
The freak in their eyes
Is what I'm all about
I see a way to put a smile on a face
I love joking
Laughing eyes glaring
People dropping their defenses
Strangers connecting
Life is precious
Bull ******* is my special gift
............................................................­

Quiet in solitude
Our boundaries
Are set
The news of the day
More cases, more deaths
We  rise our arms to the sky
Joining the cry what's next!

Grocery stores germs
Symptom showing
Exposure  regrets
Wall Street enjoying
Their own socialism
Politician need
To be put in prison

A cure not available
The antidote lost in trust
Tick-Tock ******
Thermometer!  
    The world is in a rush
Baby wipes undegradable
As society takes a flush!

The muses have turn cynical
Sarcasm breaks our vine
But to keep us safe
They'll attempt
To  divinely reassign

Misery
Wounds
Of coagulated love
Tourniquet made of whiskey
Pills a kiss
And hug

Misery
She hears me
When I rise
Red shall surely I see
‘Crazy owns my mind

Please let me be
Under my breath
I mumble and cuss
This don't need to be
But I must

Living in passions
I know this well
This returning hell
To the surface I fail
It's all to real
This crazy I feel
........................................................

You look at my flaws as if they're special
and they are, uniquely to only me.
And I have a great ego most of the time, you are correct.
You and your pole dancing friend  think I'm a creep, "oh gee"
I get that and it's taken me sometime to figure out why.
I'm afraid your jealousy is quite queer,
you can hardly see far yet alone near.
You seem to have a need to knock me down, down to your level.
I've never felt above you or anybody before now, now that I've seen your true face.
...................................................

Last year’s leaves incapacitated in an icy grave..
Burly cattails poking up through the surface of the icy lake.
With my back  on the dock my feet resting comfortably
on the bright reflective white ice, from here I write.
The air temperature at 40 Fahrenheit seems like summer,
I soak up the beautiful rays while fumbling with my device.
Two Canadian snow geese fly over honking
catching my dog and my attention, our eyes follow their flight.
Green, grey and brown quacking  mallards swim along the melted shore line, it's mating time.
Puffy black squirrels hopping from tree to tree a jungle gym
high above in the forest canape. Over. way over on the other side of the lake I see deer near the shore line. I try to bring them to my dogs nearsighted attention but only my human eye can see.
Today the world looks beautiful from these poetic eyes.

Subatomic particles creatively connecting
In cybernetic- inter-neural-net-space
Observable passions streaming our fate's
Touching these screen of invisibly
Circuits beneath at lighting speed
The barriers between you and me
Words that flow from pleasure zones
How do we know what no others know
Poetic minds breaking the cryptic code
The muse of wonder the gods of thunder
We were born in locus lands asunder
For with these thoughts I breathe
With in these lines I am finally free!

Traveler
Watch Her choke as we burn Her oil
Frack Her in Her fertile soil
Festering life forms
In a enchanted garden
In debt to The Earth
No footprint pardoned..
ryn
Pillage and plunder Her precious rocks
Engorge Her full with artificial stock
Praise Her beauty
yet **** for Her bounty
What careless minds conceived
Our callous hands retrieved

From here
I touch and squeeze
Friction current
Electricity

From here I
***** minds
Smolder in gently
From behind

On your keys
I’m begging please
I can’t get my freak on
These cyber machines

From here
I can taste
Your precious pretty
I can smell your
Nitty gritty

These circuits
Flash with pixel power
Emotional dread
Romantic young flowers
And finally and for most
The connection of
Cyber ghost
...........

A silent star
Of our point of view
The moon
Tugging on the waters
Of youth
The sun
A burning pandemic
Of blistering fun
But we won't be here
When said and done
Not these shells
Of flesh and dung
So Beautifully ugly
This secular tongue
This Earth
Forever more
Eternity a revolving door
We’ve all been here before
.................

At two mice power
my wheel's are'a rolling
Get back jack
I'm a smocking an'a toking
What would you know
'bout that?!
I been down
to the bottom of the bottle
These cliches
are hard to swallow
I 'm ready to lead
if you'ready to follow
right off the bat
Don't mind if your thin
don't care if you're fat
leave a number
I'll hit you back
as a matter of fact!
...............................

Like the last Roman empire
  Our republic is but a facade
Capitalism has sold out to corporatism
  Our establishment has sold out to the highest bidder


I join the quitters..

Let me just say this
you know how
when you were wrong
about everything?
  Well you're still wrong..
<...........................>

The bottom has falling out
Levitation is a must
I collect my abilities
Disability was just a crutch

Retired warrior conditions
A construct of altered cognition
We all grudge the *****
Why else would we put hope
In our metaphysical
Poetic encryption's
  
I assure you
It is all merely mind over matter
Surely a little bit older
And of course a bit fatter
But levitation, I'll have at her!!
..................................................

When suddenly
words come to me
I write them out
I scribble and scratch
separate a batch
turnaround
and reattach
scrapes of paper
scattered about
and somehow
someway
a poem comes out

I waited
and watched
no one came
I applied myself
just the same
There on the horizon
a spark a blur
I never believed
that I deserve

If you can't hold on
you'll lose yourself in stages
parts of you have already fallen behind
Try to gather yourself up
being human can be tough
abusiveness is an ugly thing
don't believe the things that you're saying
At Least Try
..........................

When red is all I see
I **** my pen and let it bleed
woes, curses, miseries
This world is built
on envy, hate and greed

When love I aim to feel
I play guitar
upon my hill
Looking down on
the desperately broken
for someone to put
my last hope in
.................................

Nearer to me then any one lover
My own flesh under these covers
Aches and pains and memories
Shall I anticipate another dream

Below freezing wind on my face
Gotta keep moving no time to waste
Love can turn into a forsaken storm
I gotta keep moving
I gotta stay warm
...........................

These fires
burning
out of control
these fragile empathetic
artistic souls
the table set
pen sharp as a sword
the heart steady
ready for war
it's fairly clear
yet cleverly stoic
conspicuous in nature  
no way to own it

No test
no lesson to behold
life keeps kicking me
lower then low
a snow covered tent
deep in the woods
an old abandon barns
with a caved in roof
the cold follows me
as I aimlessly trek
in search of somewhere
I haven't tread yet

I've had enough
of all these living
breathing distractions
fused to my synaptic reactions
reminding me that I am but one
the leash of realization weighs a ton
in harmonicas hormonal perfection
it's easy to lose an election
It's a beautiful day
I never want it to end
but I lose my balance
when the distractions set in
......................................

none here
Words run straight through me
all my thoughts
they just appear
systematically unruly

It's quickly unfolding
the death of this festering paradigm
reviling the corpse of indifference  
Change come hard
while the opposition sleeps
time is a monster in a dream
wake up!, wake up! is what it screams.

There's this crazy old Veteran
lives in an attic with his dog
You always see them walking
he loves to stop and talk
His dog will rest upon the ground
while he rambles on aimlessly
He's crazy and he's lonely
Hell! I do believe he's me

I run, skip and jive
subconsciously
Still...
the controlling part of myself
won't be deceived
I don't want to server
I don't want to follow
I've sentenced myself
and in dream's dread I wallow
........................................................

Love wears me out
'cause
I have to give it my all
My doubt fears an ending
My shadow is ten feet tall

Worry cripples my passion
For I've lost lovers and friends  
So I love my guitar, I love my dog
With a heart that never mends

Love is an ache in my chest
The memory grows less and less
Of what robbed my life
And left me to grieve
So now
I love my truck and my TV
.................................................

As I'm looking through your eyes
in an attempt to connect,
I can see your expectations have yet to be met.
Peering through digital lens
the differences are blinding.
In broken sentences definitions
are slowly unwinding.

I wonder if you trust your leaders
or is all the world deceived.
Time is a roller coaster
We're at the top of the big hill
    falling free...

It’s as bright as hell
my eyes are squinting
Due-east the sun is rising
The shining snow welcomes
a break from days of overcast
Banshee and I aimlessly walk across
the frozen lake to avoid the traffic of the winding slippery busy roads
Dead critters feathers and fur
cars and trucks slip and swerve
Ice fishers on the horizon
year rounders in summer cottages
Far and few people but hardly alone
So I sit on this ice and write this poem
...............

Suddenly there was a loss of interest,
why do we insist upon gratification.
I suspect we are limited
by our own realities.
We sleep while the dreaming’s good.
Until a force awakens us,
then we sleep walk
through our nightmares.
Until we realize
we were never asleep.
...........

Traveler...
i’d like to begin
with the way i feel
but that's
not as
important
as paying the bills
so i'll do your bidden
write a little song
put you in the sky
where you belong


BeautifullyBroken... 
I will travel with the
Traveler
Let me take you away
where rent is free
allowing
you to be you and
me to be me
Come with me to the sky
you hold my hand and
I'll hold your pain
as you make me laugh as
we dance in the rain

Traveler...
i’d like to simplify
my heavy heart's
intent
but surely that
won't pay
the overdue
rent
so i'll be
dancing on the lawn
laugh at the tube
anything it takes
to satisfy you

Beautifulillybroken...
together we fly
as high as we can
our sacred cloud
where no man dares
not allowed
I'll do anything for you
until you're fully
gratified its true
.........................
