ETERNAL GREED
Traveler May 2018
Here and now lies the realm
The comings and goings
Of the mysterious soul

From the agony  
Of a primal birth
Into the ignorance
Of an exciting fleshly role

Speculations manifest
Reason evolves into mysteries
'Til all that's left
Is a superstitious guess
To ease our eternal goal
......

Death a door
We all must pass through
Yet I enjoyed this

ALL I CAN
Traveler May 2018
Somewhere out there
Beyond my point of view
The unknown lingers
Bound by golden rules

Just below the horizon
Out of my line of sight
How many times before
I finally get it right

Open up and let us in
Or condemn us to be ******
But please be aware
Whoever's out there
I am doing all I can

DROP MY BALLS
Traveler May 2018
Once I found
The greatest love
The greatest love of them all!
I swerved and I curved
I stumbled and I stalled
I embraced merely the essence
The goal of it all
But then I lost my grip
And I dropped the **** ball...

LIVE A LIE
Traveler May 2018
If you could feel
Certain thing I've done
The rush in my desires...
I assure you most
Would cut and run
From the lake
That burns like fire

Dancing to a primal beat
Where life is trampled
Under feet
To feed the furnace
Of evermore
No time for love
Or even war

If you could see
Through shell shocked eyes
You'd know just why
I live a lie

EXISTENTIAL DOUBTS
Traveler May 2018
After exploring
Many alternate routes
With an ambitions to alleviate
All my existential doubts
The questions in the deeper depths
Beyond the endless spans...
I'm afraid it appears
We've all been tricked
Or somehow even ******
To a state of uncertainties
Where we temporally survive
And think the distant darkness
That by some chance we're still alive....

ANOTHER ROUND
Traveler May 2018
Subconsciously
It's already known
Enlightenment comes
When we're out getting ******

Yet for some reason
We insist on freewill
Rolling our own bones
Chasing those thrills

Eternally expanding
Entropy bound
Forever ordering
Another round!!!

NEGOTIABLE
Traveler May 2018
It is only fair that
I should warn you...
In person
I am quite out spoken
Stern and sure in my
Liberal values

With a smile
And a wink in my caring eye
I would love to sell you
Your greatest passions
Your greatest pleasures
If you can't afford
We can negotiate
Trust me
I aim to accommodate

So...
If you are curious
Roll those bones
Award yourself
Answer the phone
Or
Take the blue pill
And
Wake up in bed
Fearing I maybe
A dealer of dread

But my name is my word
Integrity bound
And I have
The best stuff to sell around...

THE DaVinci TRIVIA
Traveler May 2018
That dad-blamed Darwin and his evolution
We got molesting priests and civil retribution
We got a lady on a beast committing prostitution
Oh no man...

We got holy rollers with their ***** money
They rule this land of milk and honey
They pray to god through their Easter Bunny
Was that the sun god or god's only son?
Oh no man
I'm not the one

We got the DaVinci code and mother Magdalene
Look out now there's another goddess on the scene
911... was it just a bad dream
Oh no man
I'm not the one
This is actually the intro to another song!
Called "Wake Up"

THE END OF DAYS
Traveler May 2018
Once upon a midnight sky
the ice begin to melt
old and gray the end of days
I finally lost myself
I embraced a spark
of love and hope
a dream of you and I
a momentary lapse of reason
beneath a midnight sky

DRAIN MY SWAMP
Traveler May 2018
I need relief
And so I write
Inside my head
It's far to bright
Too **** loud
The voices within
I drain my swamp
Through  keyboard
And pen

Upon the screen
The origins of strife
Worms in my psyche
Crawl into life
Into your mind
Festering thoughts
Ideologies
Where logic gets lost

Only to be replace
With the latest
Headlines
I drain when I can
To keep a clear mind

GRAVES
Traveler May 2018
And what about the lairs
Who whisper in our ears
Shadows in the corridors
Envy in their stare's
Evil eyes awatching
Wishing wicked things
I can feel them
Crawling across
The dirt of all our
Graves




An exercise in creativity....

NEVER DIE
Traveler May 2018
Shall we dine
On wine and flesh?
There seems to be
Plenty left!
So pass around
The possum pie
Wine made out
Of dandelions

Lazy days
Of summer sun
Sleeping in
Like we're still young
Falling free
Blue ocean skies
Let our hearts
Never die...

IN LONGING
Traveler Apr 2018
Oh sea of madness
Oh ocean of fools
This water between us
Is but a drowning-pool

Tomorrows is out of focus
In the dimness of foresight
Sticks and stones in pockets
This involuntary fight

No shelter from the tempest
The storms that never end
Just a longing to return
To embrace your love again....

STARVED
Traveler Apr 2018
Deep in my psyche
There's a poetry thirst
Dry are my thoughts
In wind storms of words

My heart is a desert
Of blistering heat
My mind is crawling
Towards a salty sea

And there at the edge
Of an ink-less abyss
I so hunger
And thirst
Just to write
And to live

MONSTERS AND COWARDS
Traveler Apr 2018
Monsters
Bigger than life
Eternally reasoning
The profits of strife
Wars in the badlands
Guns on the streets
So many monsters
Roaming the world free

Cowards
Living in fear
Fighting the monsters
Year after year
On guard all the time
An eye stuck open at night
No sooner we walk
Then run for our life's

A cloud of unrest
Sets on our minds
Because monsters
And cowards
Are one of a kind

Human!

GLITCHES
Traveler Apr 2018
Actually??
Well yes!
I do believe...
You were suppose to be mine  
But somewhere, somehow
Some skipped over moment
We were lost to a hiccup in time

Now you're so
So far away from me
Leaving my soul behind
Trying to shine silver
In grey clouds of rhyms
All because of a glitch
A glitch we can't rewind

MORAL DEPLETION'S
Traveler Apr 2018
(Immigration)

And now
To top it all off
The loveless fake news stations
Are completely out of touch
With reality...

It seems the obvious
Normal reactions of humanity
(Love, mercy and compassion)
Are somehow over shadowed
By some type
Of logical human bigotry...

Sadly even our highest courts
At the highest of our thinking
Have decided
To allow such
Moral depletion

Where will they go
Where will they stay
How can we turn
Their children away?

.
.
.
.
.
.If you watch the news
You know
It's our own children
Mass murdering
Daily, non stop
Youth killing youth
And ya, every
Now and then the immigrants
Snap also, but not nearly as often...

No easy answer
Just take cover!!!

DEAR BIG PHARMA
Traveler Apr 2018
Hay there big pharma!
It's prime time that you quit
Quit pushing all your deadly drugs
In our face while we're just trying to relax and live
Using sublime advertisement
Putting thoughts of cancer in our heads
Anxieties needing your special antidepressant meds

Discontinue use if you break out in a mad rash
Or if you start bleeding from your eyes or unfortunately
Your ***...

No thank you
Big Pharma
We will take a pass!

UNSAFE PLACE
Traveler Apr 2018
I am the deafening
In the calming
Of their careless whispering
Echoing from the safe places
Of parallel universities

Mine are more
Than mere protagonist words
More than words that have less meaning
Than the eggshells
Walked upon
These are my words
  Right or wrong
And still going strong!

And I will love you all to death
You victims
You snowflakes
Young hearts of unrest
Say what you will
Let it all out
Take a big chance
Stand in your safe place and shout!

Then you will know
What free speech
Is really about!!

SHADY SHOOTY
Traveler Apr 2018
There was a certain genral
As shady as can be
His army and his
Assets
He turned upon me
The fight
Drew long
The arrows unkind
Battlefields
Of morals
The crossing of lines
I’m still alive
Trying to break free
Chipping at the wall
They built around me

POET ENTROPY
Traveler Apr 2018
And when my mind
Is finally gone
No recall
Of what went wrong
Memories blurred
No longer cursed
Judged and blessed
Of all my worth

I will set quietly
In happy thoughts
Awaiting the stages
Where death is lost
Where you and I
Shall meet again
Hearts in minds
Behind our pens

No need to believe
In promises made
Entropy is
An eternal phase

EARTH’S DAY (And Beyond)
Traveler Apr 2018
Not unlike the rest of you
I was placed here
From beyond
Set adrift into this realm
Forced to be as one

The wreckage of my landing
The misery of my birth
We can never hope to be
More than what comes first

Holding on to misery
Somewhere deep within
It finds it's way up to the suffice  
Every now and then

Beyond the realm
Of gravitational pull
We shall break away
From the natural rules
Until then
Keep our Mother safe
After all
We are all together in this
Twirling through
Outer space

HOPEFULLY ME
Traveler Apr 2018
Sometimes it feels
Like we're just holding on
Biding our time
To the end of our songs

Somehow I know
There's much more in store
So many more paths
So many more wars

Somewhere awaits
A peaceful reprieve
For all of the Poets
And hopefully me

SHADOW COMING ROUND

Lingering like gray clouds
A nagging dread
Seen in red
Through tired weary eyes
I can feel it in my bones
Shadows are passing by

VAGUE INSINUATIONS
Traveler Apr 2018
The magic of the moment, appeals to the heart
The essence of self-expression, portrays in fine art
Denounced of all logic, abstract with precision
Her image appears to lack her heart's intuition
Taunted like bees shaken in a jar
The artist offends her emotional scars
A nerve twitches the soul, excites the old
A mind so wise yet feebly slow
Love as a game extinguishes the flame
A pretty girl in my picture, I’ve forgotten her name
The ways of creativity feeds a fire
Her innocence is lost in my desire
Beauty and passion, a lust to stay young
The heart beats of wonder, before the guilt comes
The wink of an angel, the cast of a spell
The adolescent fear of kiss and tell
Broken like glass, then falls to the ground
A tender young heart lost and never found
And so the artist hides behind his creation
Only to expose such vague insinuations

Genocide In Yemen
Traveler Apr 2018
It's an all together crash course
In knowing what to perceive
Crazy was a bit more vague
When I was in my teens
Sure, I recall
Deep throats liars
Cheating secrets
Underneath Bill's desks
But nothing quite as obvious
As being partnered
To a genocidal mess

NEARING AN END
Traveler Apr 2018
When it's finally over
Despite some new big bang
Desensitized to algorithms
I'll still be writing
Passionately in vain

The Poetic pen
Can never ceases
The heart that feels
The eyes that bleed

I will always share
My love with you
My misery
My shocking truths

Vibration within a listening ear
My voice is but a breath of air
Caught within the winds of change
Nearing the end of sound's domain

THE HUNGER
Traveler Apr 2018
It had been brought to my attention
Such feelings are not our inventions
The hunger is actually what we are
In degree of unconscious decisions
Made with reptilian brain stems
It's a wonder we got this far

Still I want more
More than the hungry poor
More like a hungry lions roar
Posed to pounce
Upon the prey
I would love
To touch
Your pretty face
And share my hungry heart
With you
After all
Aren't you hungry too?

SLOWLY THOUGH
Traveler Apr 2018
A Long,
Long time ago
When I was raring
And eager to go...
I took it every way
But slow...

But now it's later
And I'm feeling rather high
Actually, I would slowly
Like to rock you
Into to my sky

Reaction fulfill
Performance and thrills
Selfishly given in flight
There's no hurry
Perhaps a flurry
I'll be driving tonight

AGAIN
Traveler Apr 2018
I dreamt of you again last night
As so many times before
Again I held you oh so tight
I could have never loved you more

Again I tried to make you stay
I was never quite that strong
Again you turned and walked away
I often wondered what went wrong

Together we made a commitment
To death do us part
But again I lost you before dawn
And again you broke my heart...

Ode to Santita
Traveler Apr 2018
Sifted through those old writings
Left alone upon your page
You were but a starlight
In limelight
A magical, musical mage

Cobwebs of memories
Now hanging in the dark
Black widows of emptiness
Slowly devour
My weary heart

Oh how I miss you
Sweet shadow of words
Dreamer of dreams
Daughter of earth
You were like no other
Fresh quickening wind
We shall meet in ever
When ever we can

Miss you Sofia!

NO RESOLVE
Traveler Apr 2018
And when I'm finally
Forced to fade
Slight of minds
No longer vague
Inconclusively
Placed on trial
Paradoxically wearing
  A black tooth smile...

Hear no evidence
Of my rebellious heart
Encipher not
My darkest art
For I have loved
And lost it all
Forgive my words
And my resolve

This was written with lies of truth

LIFE SO FAR
Traveler Apr 2018
I read a stack of psychology books
When my mind went off the tracks
Now I’m but a therapist
With a knapsack on my back

I’ve gone my way a wandering
Through the depths of misery
I come from Babylonia
With a Bible Belt
Whipping me

Borne of milk and honey
The hungry heart is doomed
Ate my cake and ice cream
Everything I could consume

Now I’m old and thirsty
Setting at this ***** bar
Looking for a meaning
Of life as yet so far

ILLUSTRIOUS
Traveler Apr 2018
Her state of imperfection
sustains my desire's
Exploited are her curves
in scanty attire
Exaggerated are her depths
such invigorating designs
Dancing in a dreamscape
of intoxicating lines...

No other thought
can penetrate this trance
My heart beats a rhythmic
meditative chant
Enlightened brush strokes
of excited flesh
Rembrandt yet Van Gogh
Traditional abstract mesh...

Bought then sold
like Faustus Soul
We consult the Devil
   And the moment grows...

NOT YET HERE
Traveler Apr 2018
This is but a small sad token
Of a promise that has been broken
Spring was but a lie
All her magic has gone awry
There'll be no thawing
Only a frozen heart cringing, clawing
Through the ice of hardship
Left to bare
There'll be no warming
No, not yet here!

CHAINS
Traveler Mar 2018
Can you feel my presence
When I come to you in dreams
Are your memories of me as pleasant
As the songs we used to sing

Do you know that much about me
I used to know you pretty well
You were the angel in my heaven
Until that day I fell

Do you look at those old pictures
Of when you were a child
I only wanted to be with you
Only wanted you to smile

Do you hate the things I’ve done
Do you blame me for your pain
It’s the fact that I still love you
That keeps me in these chains

WHISPER OF US
Traveler Mar 2018
Using time as an indication
I measure the distance
   Between you and I...
From light years away
Somewhere out there
In the darkness
On the edge
Of forgetful mind...

It's not so painless
To write about us
Our endless poem
Of tragedies
In broken worlds
No longer tethered
In a place where
Lost lovers flee

It's not so simple
To hold these words together
In the waning of my whispering voice
Yet until the pen shall meets the paper
My heart shall have no other choice

WALLOW (To our leaders)

If you feed me the truth
I will swallow
If you carry the torch
I will follow
But if you fall on your knees
At the wall of deceit
I will leave you right there
Where you wallow

Traveler Mar 2018
I watched it bending, breaking
Blowing in the wind
Every time I turned around

Before the last breath comes

Lustful passions
Lacking rules

SPRING HAS SPRUNG
Traveler Mar 2018
Differently
This time around
The roots of tomorrow
Are no longer bound
No debt can ever
Truly be paid
No reward last forever
And even less than a day

Differently now
Don't lose heart
Begin again
This marks the start
Spring has sprung
The days of new
The power to change
Is within you...

Projecting outwards
There's a lot of silly fools
We've all been bent or broken
Branded by the rules

Looking inward

Forever searching
Worlds apart
I miss myself the most

Gathering it all together
Spread out before my eyes
It all come a bit more clear now
It's great to be alive!

TRANSITIONS
Traveler Mar 2018
Transitions
Forced upon our psyche's
From treading water
To riding lightning
The changes can be
Somewhat frightening

Spent my days
In a cage
Fighting off a world of rage
Stronger and stronger
I became
Desensitized and now I'm lame
Smote I did to survive
Just to live another life
Where truth is hidden
In despair
I can never truly be free
From there...

THEORETICAL
Traveler Mar 2018
Within the coming moons
While the universe parades
The stars which were once in line
Shall all become misplaced

Leading to the transfer
Of heart and soul to mind
The universe we know
Shall no longer leave us blind

The rapture of our being
Free to open wide
No more in between
No more other side

All the multiverses
Converging into one
All a sudden knowing
Where we all come from

Yet perhaps endless knowing
Is more than just a drag
And that's why over and over
We all keep coming back

DREAM LOVE
Traveler Mar 2018
I fell in love within a dream
It’s the damnedest thing!
A lady I’ve never ever even seen
Somehow I knew we were meant to be
And somehow I’m sure
She’s somewhere out there, looking for me

Of course infatuation plays the biggest part in this
I wouldn’t believe that she exists but my heart insists
She’s so deliciously wild yet elegantly tame
Her beautiful eyes drive me madly insane

All these emotions emerge from this lucid dream
Yet I can hardly describe what this most lovely lady really means
In my heart she’s hope in a world grown cold
In my passion she flames igniting my soul
In my mind’s eye she’s perfect, pure, and free
She’s obviously the fulfillment of all that I need
....

P.S.
She's a Poetess also!

WHY DO THEY SHOOT?
Traveler Mar 2018
How do we change
Societal's day
When a sloppy hug
Well... seems a bit gay
Could it be as simple
As a smile or a wave?
How do we change
What will it take...

Perhaps
A kind word with eye contact
Let the little things go
Quickly forgive a mistake
Now you're on a role...
Calmly relax
Think the little thing through
The reality is
It's not just our's
This world is their's too

Take a deep breath
And know in your soul
Every out burst, every bit of road rage
Adds to the whole

We all play a roll...
