POETRY MAGIC 3
Traveler Aug 2018
Solomon indulged
In the witchcraft of poetry
The magical rites of nature
He broke the yoke
Of wasted hopes
And became a woman chaser

Words form spells
The seeds of dreams
Dark verse light
The earliest memes
Songs of songs
Building grace
Magic is attainable
In the Poet's case

ALWAYS MEAN
Traveler Aug 2018
I'm an ember in the fire
An endless hunger
Of consuming heat

I'm a lover big fat liar
I'm the quicksand
Beneath cold feet

Shinning eyes
Out in the darkness
I'm the panic in
A lost heart beats

I'm the passion in life's battle
I'm the dread in the dreary dream

I'm the one who never settles
I'm the one who's always mean!


...
Traveler Tim
Actually I'm kind of a nice guy..

MARK OF FREAK
Traveler Aug 2018
Could I once fly, is this memory real
Could I lay hands on the sick to heal
Was I an Angel many lives ago
Or merely another being with a love for gold

I sensed a fall, I believed a lie
Abandon here and left to die
These wings they failed and turned to stone
Beneath a sky I'm forced to roam

Did I lose my mind, did I lose my sight
Did I lose my will to stand and fight
Against a god whose acceptance I seek
Yet now I'm stained with the mark of freak...
Traveler Tim
An old one from the slammer!

REASSEMBLE
Traveler Jul 2018
I wish I had one of those
Brand new pretty A.I's
The kind you see
Over seas
With the animated eyes

Perfect body
Sculpted in
Secrets underneath
Rebooted to learn
Oh don't be concerned
I've plenty morals
Left in me

Bio parts programmed
To feel the cyber burn
Develop in such rhythms
Cybernetic squirms

Bandwidths pleasure
Poetic themes
Creative forms
Me and machine
Bio feedback
Drama queen clean

Nothing like the real thing
Just me and my machine
Oh how lonely that would be!!!

THOUGHT TEST
Traveler Jul 2018
If I could catch
And ride the night
What shadows would I leave
Upon an unsuspecting world
Of hungry heart's and thief's

If I were but a silhouette
Of envy hate and greed
I'd cast myself upon the rich
And let my darkness breathe

If I were but a devil
Burning in disguise
I would catch and pull the wool
Over every weary eye

But I am but a Poet
And I wish the world the best
Creatively curious
Giving every thought a test

MOTHER EARTH’S LAMENTATION
Traveler Jul 2018
The moon laments in drones of silence
As tides raise-churning waves of violence
The mountains crest the surface of the sea
Now the earth is free to breathe

Can you see her now, oh Universe
Can you see your daughter giving birth
The formation of stars in her youthful eyes
She dreams of life that can never die

Primordial spirits, archaic stew
Volcanic rapture, lands of new
Frozen tundra of ancient ice
Her organic recipe sustains life

Eukaryotas thrive in a muck of wonder
Upon themselves they feed and plunder
Reptilian brain stems to limbic systems
Complex neocortex to indecision

Now she cries out to the universe
   I am tired and now I am cursed
Still the moon tugs upon her tides
   As we dance into eternal night...
Traveler Tim

BETHINK
Traveler Jul 2018
Soft and silky, soothingly smooth
Are words that describe her skin
I can't help but dream about her
Every now and then

Gentle, kind and selflessly caring
Are words that expose her soul
I know I made a big mistake
So many years ago...

GREEN DAYS
Traveler Jul 2018
White and woolly
Cotton clouds
Fluently floating by
I take my time
I take a ****
Smoke rings
In the pines

In laughter free
Among the trees
Where echos begin to rhyme
Come and play
Long in the day
The Oak is in his's prime

I love the Man and the band!

NAKED IN NATURE
Traveler Jul 2018
What more could make
Passion spark
Than her naked body
In the park
In the tent
Under those trees
Nature sets
A desire free

In the shallow of the river
The receiver becomes the giver
Cooling in the rapid flow
Nature rushing
Through our souls

Life is but a dream
Holding on as long as we can
May the cycle never ends

MIRACULOUSLY
Traveler Jul 2018
Actually
I am one of those
Yet just like you
I'm also one of them!
Where ever I roam
I'm already home
From beginnings
'Til bitter ends

I give and I take
Consume 'til I ache
That part of humanity
Nobody can fake
Either by chance
Or miraculous fate
Subconsciously knowing
Life was not a mistake

BACK TO NATURE
Traveler Jul 2018
Awaken onto nature
Set your spirit free
Mighty are her waters
Ancient are her trees
Open wide oh starlit sky
Magical summer heights  
Mighty forest kingdom
Feathered furred in flight
Embrace her in the mornning
Evening tides roll out
In the cycle of her Venus
Ending way down south
Love her when she's frozen
She shall thaw again
Awaken on to Nature
Enjoy Her
While you can!

I SURRENDER
Traveler Jul 2018
Your silence
Is sometimes quite loud
I would relieve your torment
But I'm not sure how

I don't like compromises
So I fake 'em
I hate commitments
So I break 'em

The world ran me down
Then ran me over
I'm not trying to be right
And I don't want to be sober...

NO NEED
Traveler Jul 2018
To tell me twice
When eye's have said enough
I've read between the unwinding lines
I've no need for less than love

The twitch, the look
Uneven flow
Rest assured
I already know

  And be sure
That they do too
The rest is up to you
Unto thine own self be true

TAKE YOU HOME
Traveler Jul 2018
Part of me's
Been broken
Most of me
Still runs

I would give you
Heart and soul
To be your only one

No, you need not be lonely
On this desert road alone
Ask me what's for dinner
And I will take you home

BEYOND THE SHADOW OF DOUBT
Traveler Jul 2018
Peace on earth or just a dream
Angelic whisper or demonic scream
Magical wonders that feel so real
Leaps of faith that are known to ****

Dawn cast my shadow far beyond
Dusk settles my shadow, soon be gone
Does my shadow see more than I
‘Tis darkness past my shadow by
When my body shall turn to worm
**** my shadow if it returns
Cast it into the great abyss
May this shadow of doubt cease to exist.

UNEVEN HORIZON
Traveler Jul 2018
The compulsion of reality
Drives the spirit deep
Holding on to life and breath
Each challenge more unique

Sporadic the patterns of chaos
As the electrical sparks ignite
Less order in the cosmos'
And so I bid you fair good nigh

BAR FLY
Traveler Jul 2018
Upon a stool in the darkness of day
I once loved a rather pretty bar maid

Drunken drowning in and out of sorrows
Here today and gone tomorrow
Behind the bar the mirror reflects
A pitiful image of self neglect
Nobody actually knows your name
Yet you keep coming back just the same...

Happy hour comes and dies
As we stumble in our pride
In harmony with our woes
Last call near time to go
One more drink, another smoke
One more lie start to choke...

I soak on home to dry
A pretty friend stops on by
I spark a fire and shine
I pretend that you're still mine
Tomorrow comes and I'm alone
Upon a bar-stool getting ******..

WALLS
Traveler Jul 2018
Walls
Can keep us out
They can also hold us in
Literally, physically
Subliminally slim...
Perhaps
The greatest wall
We'll ever scale
Is to overcome
A living hell
Or forgive
A Judas kiss
If you lost it all
Would you still be rich?
Walls can leave you
Without a stitch

KARMIC WRATH
Traveler Jul 2018
Pawns, expendable pawns
Black and white squares, we move upon
Dreams, lost in a garden of dreams
Invisible hands guide our teams

Heaven bound angels we turn
Fall to the ground we burn
Run, run to the mountain of lies
Our righteousness is our disguise

Devastation and heartache, our path
The unavoidable crash, karmic wrath
Yet somehow we find love in vain
In one brief moment we leave our stain

Truth revealed in fever dreams
Guilty feelings waking hours bring
What does it mean we ask ourselves
Storing hope upon dusty shelves

In the silence between our laughter
I have heard the voice of stars
Deities banished to wayward heavens
Sentenced to observe us from afar

Behold the whispers that makes us dream
Countless eyes that see everything
Forbidden to touch, to reach and feel
Enviously awaiting with intention revealed

BITTER WINE
Traveler Jul 2018
"Compromise"
Superimposed to make it fit
A bitter wine still we sip
And waste away in drunken slumber
The heart is weak and prone to blunder

All this arguing weighs a ton
Callously tired my heart grows numb
Her intolerance ringing in my ear
I drink my wine and disappear....

DEAR KIM
Traveler Jul 2018
Life is but a day
That death falls upon
Eternity, an endless river
Uncertainty, a beautiful swan
Shall we meet our fate's
   And gallantly swim on...

Hope can be lost
When one bleeds alone
A prison cell of failing flesh
Often host a heart of gold
I can feel the weight of life
You carry on your wings
In every word and thought
You write
All the beauty that you bring

So here I write a simple spell
An energy surge I'll send
Life is like a candle
Blowing in the wind

If you've never
Been as far
Thank your
Blessed or
Lucky stars
That you
Don't know
How it feels
To face the darkness
That consumes
At will
To take the devil
By his horns
To crown
Your lust
With prickly thorns
To hold the fire
Embrace the burn
To hide the scares
Of lessons learned

SOUL SHORT

Dear universe
I've minimum to report
...
Our world is still spinning
Into entropy
And out of control
We know not yet
What we really
Need to know
Ice and fire
Hot lava and snow
Around and around
The sun we go
Gravity held
  Inertia repelled
All our matter
Heading for hell

HUNGRY BEAR

Burning bridges
Or trying
To ***** walls

For no cause

I've just one simple rule
Never feed a hungry bear
Or
The next meal maybe you...

CHASING THE RUSH
Traveler Jun 2018
We all have our reasons
As we come and then go
Living life's lessons
Learning new roles
Not enough time
To experience it all
Life is a game
Love is the ball

There's a beacon Shining
From the poet's soul
Illuminating beauty
Every where it goes
Here we gather
And share what we are
Lesions on heartstrings
Immortal scars

Givers and takers
Losers and thefts
Chasing the rush
The creative release!

VICTORY POEM
Traveler Jun 2018
There’s many ways to say
What’s already been said
Thousands of poems
Have been wrote and read
Still I would be your brother
Or I could be your dad
I would be the best friend
You have ever had
Our love would last forever
And ever never ends
If we could get together
We’d all be bound to win

RUN FOR A REAL LIFE
Traveler Jun 2018
Beliefs
Effect areas
Of our intelligence  
That sould otherwise
Contemplate logically

Waiting for
Miracles
Impossibly real
Stuck in caves
Where kindness
And fear
Come together

More than an image
The sky outside
Turn around
And run for the real life!

ABUNDANCES
Traveler Jun 2018
An abundance of life
In a cycle of death
How much living
Could we have left?

An abundance of stars
Displayed in the sky
Endless pleasures
On a summer's night
Hear and see
Touch and feel
The reality of existence
Consume at will

An abundance of love
To plant in our graves
Pushing up daisies
I wish we could stay

EMPIRICALLY
Traveler Jun 2018
It might sound courageous
Or a bit naive
But I'm not incline
To simply agree
With subjective thoughts
Or allegories
I gather my objections
Empirically

My god is logic
And the goddess of love
No need to bow down
They fit like a glove
A creative heart
And a hungry soul
Are the gifts and curses
Of growing old...

Whenever it's time!

DOMESTIC
Traveler Jun 2018
Domesticated
And set free on life
Find a car, a job, a wife
Play outside, until dark
Walk your serves dog
To the park...

Drink a beer to relax
In the end
The cards are stacked
On the road
Or in the field
A worn out soul
Is what we yield

A yawn, a word
A mere memory
The domestication
Of our species

DEAR FRIENDS
Traveler Jun 2018
Would you please
Stay awhile with me
Unleash the shadows
Let the darkness free
Ride the waves
In creative bliss
Don't lose hope
Life is a risk

Release your glands
In chemical reactions
Nurtured in nature's
Raw naked passions
Thunder bolts
In the power of pens
Let it all out
And let us all in

Please stay
All of you, my friends!

BABY STATUE
Traveler Jun 2018
Whisk me away oh Devil
To a land of precious lies
Where sleeping beauties dream
In falsehoods synchronized

To where
Creatures clad in dark attire
Cater to our dark desires
These beasts who bleed
Our burden dry
Underneath a wicked sky

Cemetery sunrise gathering gloom
Pine away in tomorrow's tomb
Baby statues with broken wings
Frozen postures, silent screams

Burning at the stake of wrath
Hell is but a well worn path
Leading to a putrid end
   Broken wings of human sin...
I was setting on a cemetery bench
when I wrote this,

Are known to sustain
Logic and reason
Are one and the same

A RACE OF JOHNNY ROTTENS
Traveler Jun 2018
This world taught me very well
How to survive in a prison cell
Retreating in a fleeting moment
From the heavy hand of life’s opponent
Throwing pennies in a well
Even wishes are for sale
And the universe holds a reward
For those who live beyond the sword
Yet beyond the sword remains a fist
To take a swing, who can resist
Whether right or wrong it’s never forgotten
It’s one big race of Johnny Rotten's
The eyes in the mirror would have their say
But I turned my head and walked away
The rage in our heart won’t be silenced
Even if we abstain from a life of violence...
Traveler Tim
I mean no offence to people named Johnny!
Unless there rotten...

I've lost the connection
Not a signal to be reached
My heart is a cell phone
Lost on a beach

Tide coming in

Running low

Contacts gone forever
Not a cloud to hold on
This device of all I am
Sinking in a pond...

Traveler Jun 2018
Words
Free to be spoken
Written down
Bent or broken
Encouraging

With a twist of the mind

Expressed
But seldom explained
Maps and mazes
Through the poetic brain
Meditatively rewarding
Each creation creates
But do beware
Words are but keys
That open floodgates

Blessing, I can say
I still have my share
Simultaneously
Curses upon curses
Slowly strip me bare

Beautiful dreams
Mixed in nightmarish themes  
We've all met the dark
With the voiceless scream
No one immune
To this dysfunctional maze
No one gets out alive
Of this breath taking play

Oh but from the heart of a child
It was every bit worthwhile!

Don't you have something better to do?
I mean come on now!
Really!
Another post?

I'm sure your floor needs sweeping
And
There's a pile of clothes at the end of your bed
Your under arms are a bit stinky
Brush your teeth and comb your head!

My goodness...
There's a forest growing
Where your lawn used to be!
And the oil light is on
In your 2003
Ya, time to get a new Jeep

This week's ***** dishes have grown green
The trashcan smells like rotten meat
The world stands still awaiting your care...
And here you are
Wasting away with me right here!

SLEEPYHEAD
Traveler May 2018
This world can causes such sadness
Such suffering I cannot bear
Yet I drove her to her madness
And then I left her there

Close the world, shut out the sky
Allow this day to pass and die
‘Til the dreamer drifts to sleep
Take it now this soul you seek

Your eyes ask the questions why
My shame has no answer
She haunts me late at nights
The tiny little dancer

So far from being whole
Now my days are growing cold
Won’t be long until the reap
Now the dreamer drifts to sleep

Hell hounds
The buying of souls
I once met the Devil
Down at the cross roads
Deals were struck
In poetic prose

In to Hell's hold

And now whips of flames
Await my last breath

The demons all laugh
Eternal flesh laid to waste
Beware
The Devil wears

This strangeness
I've never known
A plague upon
My worn out heart
Tread marks
Upon my soul

Twisted emotions
Warped by time
My weary muse
Walks the line
It's more than some
Mere travesties
Something is damaged
In my inter being

Perhaps a bit to long in Hell
Forced to survive
The prison cells
The scourge that came
In the afterbirth
Societies label
Of my true worth

THE ESTABLISHMENT
Traveler May 2018
At all times
I'm forced to hold it
In the front of my mind
The fact that
I am separate from them...

The war mongering neocons
Wall-Street, Big Pharma
The Military Industrial Complex
The Establishment of our two social parties
Mutated into an ugly
Form of legal corruption
Sanctioned by our own
Supreme Court's ignorance

It's time to take the power back!
The Constitution
(It's not just about guns)
When will we stop voting
For the same old choice
"The Establishment"
Traveler Tim
Slingshot, burning tires
Kites.... Really?
Murdering innocent people
With our money
in our name
Hell no
I am separate from the them!
