Traveler Feb 2020
No need for us to be
let go the tourniquet
let us bleed
a dark prayer
no candles flickering
deeper now
slow your dripping
coagulate your heart
release your bowls
and let us part

Now that wasn't so bad...
Your still breathing?!
are you mad!

Did you escape the pain?
defeat the sorrow?
We can always try again tomorrow.

THE LOWEST HELL
Traveler Feb 2020
There is a hell
Beyond the worst
A place where living
Becomes a curse

A restless feeling
Trapped within your gut
When you know your time
Is almost up

Passion dies
In the fear of night
There's no comfort
In the struggle of life

The heart sinks
The mind slips
Even the hand
Can hardly grip

The darkest day of a soul
Shines compared to this lowest low.

HURTING?
Traveler Feb 2020
You're not alone
In your pain
All your understanding
Has been ordained

Open your eyes
Beyond what you see
Forget what you think you know
And just try to breathe

Woven into the fabric of consciousness
Are the assumptions of reality
And the deception of imagination
But mostly a need to survive
Put down the knives
And walk outside

I feel for you...

Only A Mess (not a poem)
Traveler Feb 2020
Over the edge
I quiver to look
there’s no bottom  
only a hook
dead bait
hanging
excuse the smell
this is but a tasteless mess
but what the hell!
No filter to muffle
the parasitical ink
grimmest in the minds nose
metaphorical stinks
But here I'll add
I wish you the best
After all this isn't a poem
it's only a mess

But a dream
Traveler Feb 2020
It's all but a dream
focused upon narrow  
projections of a world
forged by tainted perception.
Scrutiny scrutiny scrutiny
Fear not
For this understanding that repels logic
is slowly disassociated
by continual contemplation
hopefully to wake in the end

Get your hands off me!
Must I be both sober and sound
Get your paws off me!
Will you let me go, my way
out into the freezing snows okay
Get your wicked claws out of me

To you and all your cronies
I am just a phony
so please get your hands off me

Two hafts of one brain
In a hemispheric continuum
Intentional intentions
A relentless creative right arm comforts an intellectually sore left arm
And the soul rolls on

The Last Few Miles
Traveler Jan 2020
I get lost in pleasure
The child playing tag
Running and laughing
I beg to make it last

A place in my dreams
Where I was once free
Wet behind the ears
Innocent and green

Why'd I need to know
Why'd I need to learn
Eyes are watching us
Sin and we will burn

Heavy on our hearts
Parasites in our brains
The lies we were tough
We'll never be the same

Oh please come back
Innocence of youth
Storm clouds of lies
Blinding the truth

Tell not the children
Santa Clause tales
Pretending leaves us
Believing in Hell

Running from devils
Demons inside
Please take it back
All of those lies

Return our innocence
The care free happy child
Let us go outside and play
Let us love ourselves  
These last few miles

Priestess Less Priest
Traveler Jan 2020
Beautifully Broken...

And so
Even a master falls
Down from heaven
To lose it all

Hell is but pain
We hold in our hearts
Pushing our lies
In our grocery carts

Behind my eyes
I see me crawl
No where to fly
Behind these walls

It's only a glitch
In the mind set of fear
In need of control
It's "I" that steers

A human condition
Assigned to a dream
Beautifully Broken
Priestess less Priest

The comfort of sorrow
Darkens our hope
Holding to tight
To the noose of the rope

Let go and fall
Into the void
Somewhere beyond
This life we destroy

Awake the Master
And come back home
Don't believe the lies
For we are never alone!


Dear Priestess
Please come back

Hellopoetry
Traveler Jan 2020
Is there any buddy out there?

Am I the only one?

Could this be the end?

Is this site said and done?

Shall I post 1 million words and read them to myself

Shall I write 1 million poems and place them on a shelf

Within the womb
With in the mother
Have I yet to discover
Light beyond the darkness
Forcing me to breathe
Is there anybody out there
Or am I all alone
Life is but a dream
We cannot control

Attention Artist!
Traveler Jan 2020
Refuse to suffer
For what is not true
The state of heaven
Is lost in false rules
All the fear
Wounds on our hearts
We had no choice
Right from the start
Happiness runs
Far and quite deep
Open your heart
Let your love leak!

LAY THERE LAME
Traveler Dec 2019
Dreaming is for nights
Keeps us sleeping tight
Close your eyes
Don’t try an fight
Dream until it’s light

Can dreams really come true
Perhaps
We’ve all been fooled
Dreaming
Is an unconscious thing
Get on up
Or lay there lame

An enter dimension
Of doubtful rules
Go to bed late
And sleep until noon
Lay there lame
In serotonin stasis
Or get on up
And
Tie yer' laces!

FRESH WINGS
Traveler Dec 2019
My passion ignites
As I read their thought's
Deep in contemplation
Their hearts get tossed
So unaware of their special gift's
And so here I must insist
The nest is high, the fall is far
But your not a nestlings
Your are a rising star
Dear young prodigies
Life is how it ought to be....
Humane stains
Droplets of pain
Mixed in a bucket
Of why oh why's
Post cognition
Hidden behind
Fresh wings
Write it and post it
It's time for you to fly.....

My comments aren't advice
I only say , hay
Roll those dice!

KILL THE BEAST!
Traveler Dec 2019
Untie these hands
Or I'll chew through these ropes
Derail your trains
Stick a stick in your spokes

You've ran your course
Evil Hand of War
You've made our world
Your killing floor

I'll tear you down
I'll spit you out
I am the Traveler
Have no doubt

The muse of peace
Is on the prowl
Changing winds
Moan and howl

**** the beast
**** the beast
**** the gosh ****
CORPORATE BEAST!

Flames Of love
Traveler Dec 2019
My love is non-narcotic
I need something stronger
Kinda' like *******
Opiates when I wrong her

My love is but a fire
That burns me at both ends
Her love is high grade fuel
Burning hot with sin

A yawning neon moon
Whispers to a waking earth
The flames of love burn hot
Still entropy is our curse

Repetitiousness
Traveler Dec 2019
Sometimes I go out my way for a laugh
Sometimes I forget when it's time to come back
Running on overdrive
Faster then Bonnie and Clyde

I like to get lost in the woods
I'd live there if I could
In the pines I like to hide
Near a riverside

I don't need much sleep theses days
My hairs have all turn grey
I get up early and write
And post my poem at first light

Then off to run my farm
To keep my crazy world from harm

Why I Grieve
Traveler Dec 2019
I'm truly not trying to boast
Of my enormous greed
I have all that a human being
Could ever possibly need
No cancer, no dooms day disease
I've a heart of gold
So why do I grieve?

Everywhere I look I see sad eyes
Cutting strait through to my core
So many never make it this far
Did you lose, were you torn?

Her sad eyes were in my care
And then she died...
Now everyone's sadness
Eat's me alive

REAL LOVE
Traveler Dec 2019
I stand for love
For I believe love
Holds the only remedy
After all everyone deserves
To live their live's in
A state of blissful dignity

My weary pen runs dry
As my word's frantically cry
What if it was you or I
Would a Poet love you
Enough to even try

Try and shed light
On your private hell
Even if it were to mean
This soul I must sell
Real love is where I live
Surely I was put here
To give and give
And give

In my callused hands
I grip the dredge
Of humanity
Like a still born
I cradle calamity
I could never let you fall
With real love
I will carry us all

Set Your Ugly Free
Traveler Dec 2019
I have nothing to hide
The door is open take a look inside
I’ve done my bad
Then set things right
Transforming my ugly
Into light
I’m not ashamed of who I am
This is who I want to be
Come on out and take a breath
Set your ugly free!
Traveler Tim
Traveler Dec 2019
Okay all ready!
I feel you all
Suffocating me insane
I'm being drained
My energy flows
Downward
To the lowest of lows
Where lies the pain
That the miserable
Refuse to let go

Empathically
I am cursed
Tethered
To your emotional
Burst
I feel the babies
Crying in the night
My heart spring
Into thoughtless flight
The unrest of the downtrodden
Engulf my weary life

If I could only feel
Without a care
Turn away
And say a prayer
Someone else
I'd surely be
But that's just not
My destiny

P.S.
So please stop thinking so loud!

Meaningless Poetry
Traveler Nov 2019
It's not actually a flower
It's a painting of a flower
No definition beyond
The flower's we see
Out on the lawn
Merely an image
Paint fumes replaced
The charmers scent
That once
"Meaninglessly"
Drew our mates

An orchestrated opus
Of wayward heart
Galaxies of lyric-less
Wayward stars
Glimmering
From who knows
Afar
Meaningless poetry
Is all we are

Why do morning dove
Insist to sing
Meaningless songs
Birds of prey scream
Blinding beams of sunlight
Reflect off mighty seas
Blinding our eyes
Yet still we believe
What meaning has
The giant ancient trees
Majestic mountains
Purple beauties
These impressions
Of nature only define
Meaningless poetry
That beautifully rhymes

somethings sure
to come to light

a rant oh no
nor gripe
deep insight
can free the soul

then you could know
perhaps we met
in a life time past
happiness
wasn't meant last
and yet
we spiral down
and start again
for next time
we are bound to win

NO EXCUSES
Traveler Nov 2019
I don't always mean
These words I say
Nor these things I recklessly do
In the pitch dark of night
I suddenly awake
And frantically reach for you
Somehow you're still here
Then I realize my greatest fear
To be alone in this broken world
A single man without a girl
So I must admit
I need your love
Even though
I abhorred the crutch
Nothing is as it's suppose to be
Thank  god
For cursing me!

A SPARK OF DARK
Traveler Nov 2019
I posses a lust
For things I know
Should never ever be
I hide these feeling
Beneath my smile
As my shameful
Demons flee

I'm sure at this time
You have your doubts
That's why
I wouldn't ever
Want to be found out

  Unlike the man
In the trench coat
I take a completely
Different approach
And so...
This is all that
I'll expose
A shadow of
My lustful soul

It was just a creative rhyme
Yet I get that look

Intolerant Lyrics
Traveler Nov 2019
I'm not going to wait
For you anymore
I'm going to change the locks
On my back door
Push a needle in
Go for a ride
Got to escape
These feelings inside

All I do fades to grey
I can't hear a word
You say
I can't take it anymore
I CANNOT TOLERATE!

I’m not gona' be your fool
Wouldn't give a ****
What you do
Push a needle in
Cause I'm never afraid
I'm gona' make you GO AWAY!

Helplessness In The US
Traveler Nov 2019
In the free world
Our hands are actually tied
We dine on corporatism lies
Manipulated by
The camera eye
We purchase
The blood stain petrol
Our footprint
Digs deep in turmoil
Dark money
In our accounts
That's what freedoms
Here in the US
Is actually about
We oil the jaws
Of the war machine
Then feed it
With our babies
Freedom
Seems to have
Made the free quite crazy

And so I must apologize
For our lack of control
Even our votes
Are bought and sold
Propaganda keeps us blind
These hands are tied
Please keep that in mind

LOST IN LIMBO
Traveler Nov 2019
To and fro I travel
Yet I find no place to rest
My heart is but a shadow
Darkness with a breath

Home is but a memory
As I lay upon hard ground
And dream of ancient glories
When I was once renowned

Now I am forgotten
Demonized by lore
Cast into a hell dimension
Just beyond life's door...

PIECE OF ME
Traveler Nov 2019
Deep inside
I once survived
Restrained within a cell
Living life behind bars
Nothing more precious
As single piece of mail
Waiting on a visit
To ease my prison hell

I love them bigger then life
But I was forced to send them
To live with my wife
A ****** off the streets
Who long ago left me
And so I started to write
Poetry saved my life!

Morbid Whispers
Traveler Nov 2019
The Angel of death
Voicelessly whispered
To the Ill forgotten struggles
Of my unrestrained id
"I am here to recall your soul
So...How do you want to go!"
Perhaps...
A bullet in the head
That's what John F. Kennedy said
You can chose
The hangman's noose
When the bottom drops out
You'll be hanging lose
Chose to drown in a dream
Wake up gasping
Turning green
Oh what hell is planed for me
If we all must pay
For ***** deeds
A fire as hot as eternal death
A burning soul
Is all that's left
Old age is such a bore
You decide
Here some more
Cancer seeps
And creeps within
A mutant growth
For every sin
Radiation your only choice
Speak now your inter voice

Death is beautiful
For the righteous few
An extended dream
But not for you!

Chicken Soup From The Coop
Traveler Nov 2019
Strutting like a rooster
In the hen house of love
Crowing and a pecking
At a pigeon then a dove

Spurs *****
Feathers flying
I struck and stuck
A duck just lying

Fertile are the eggs
My girls tend to lay
Let them hatch
Or eat them
With some bacon
If you crave

My meat no longer tender
Unlike the farmers pig
They won't eat me for dinner
And so I get to live

Strutting in this farm yard
I surely have the life
****-a-do-doe-do
I crow
With all my might!!

Traveler Timi

The neighbors rooster somehow got into our yard which is surrounded by 6 foot fences and is having a good time with all of our hens of course we don’t have roosters because who wants to hear them ******* all day, they fertilize your eggs and besides that when I had them before they spurred me they’re lucky to be alive you know

Importune Poetry
Traveler Nov 2019
Heads up
We're all gonna die
Heart's finally quit
Eye's no longer cry
From our birth
It's one big struggle
Even the rich
Have their troubles
So...gender up
Take that helm
Life's too short
To simply settle
I'm talking to myself
There's no one else
More worth gunning for
Politics and Mother Earth
Will always be at war
We came alone
That's how we leave
Life began form a single seed
And empty vessel
Full of needs
Thirsty, hungry
Selfish greed
That's how we started
You and even me
But what of the other end
Do we lose
Or will we win?

I wish I were
A man of might
I would protect
****** tight
Keep it pure
Fertile seed
I am but
A bad disease
I wish I were
A chimpanzee
I would swing
In every tree
Limb to limb
Between knees
Catch a whiff
Lumbar cheese

Something else

With myself
Traveling alone
Living the life
This time around
Without wife
I wish I were

Let loose your naughty rain
Crash your clouds in thunder
White lightening flash in vain
Hydrate this thirsty dryness
Plaguing my barren glands
Set forth her winds a blowing
From where sweet love began

B­lizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes
and typhoons
The Mother Nature of me
wants to stir the storms of you
My deepest desires dwelling inside my mind
Hitting my heart like thunder and lightning
Sparks intensified
Walking on clouds dreaming of you
Spinning in whirlwinds my teardrops of truth’s
Catch me for I’m falling from heaven above
With the wants of kissing your angel lips of love

Flower of the morning dew
My gods approve of only you
Wisdom of my sins ascend
Guide my wonder to your ends
To where the storms begin

A mighty volcano burning deep down within
Raging passion swirling a cyclone of sins
Drenched in a downpour of lust
An eruption of showers quenching our thirst
Changing the atmosphere as our bodies collide
The binding of our hearts together
forever entwined
Infinite our love boundless by time
For I am Yours and You are mine

Untimely reminders
In the mist of might
My love is to weak
To do what's right
..............................
Believe in thy self
There be no other
Carried on lost wind
Return to your mother
For out of the earth
The seeds of light bloom
Fed by the sun
Crest by the moon
A love that's as real
As a raging typhoon
Reborn refurbished
Destine for doom

No ending
Just beginning again
Tossing and turning
And bleeding to live
How much more
Do we have to give?

SERVITUDE
Traveler Nov 2019
(Just so you know)

I drown in your heavy heart ache
I get intoxicated
On your drunken bourbon blues
We have so much more in common
Then you think
Poor old broken me and the likes of you

Heavenly this Hell among us
Feel the burn of unadulterated lust
For most of us it is a must
Invisible deities we needn't trust

All this sadness giving birth
Was it karma or some sort of curse
Is the sinner less then what he's worth
The Reaper reaps the young of heart
Whilst we grow old waiting to depart

White knuckled we desperately cling
Straining to live whilst we're suffering  
Such an exciting unattainable theme
Life is but a beautiful, beautiful dream

A moments of passion
Paid for in blood
Bleeding to live
In the name of love

One Of Those
Traveler Nov 2019
I had forgotten
The smell of my own
Yet as it squished through my toes
It when rate to my nose

I thought to myself
Oh ya, I'm one of those

MY BAD
Traveler Nov 2019
I embarrassingly admit
As a single parent
I was quite unfit
Unprepared
For the mothers role
When I lost my children
I lost my soul

My truth will never stammer
Nor stutter as I write
I've done both good and evil
Behold a waste of life
Forgive me
Forgive me not
That's just how it is
I hope
Your love
In your next life
Learns to finally give
