NATION LESS ISM'S
Traveler Dec 2017
Behold the legislation
That falls upon the heads
Of anyone who's fortune
Has yet to be read
Any down trodden
Gentle sober soul
Up against the wall
It's all been done before
Beware the eyes that follow
And silently understand
I will not be party to any
Nationalism!

THE ONE PERCENT
Traveler Dec 2017
Tunnel vision
The camera eye lens
Blind sighted
The directions
We're in
Manipulation
Of the press
Who's point of view
Do you like best?
What do you
Suffer from less
Social or economical
Unrest?

Blindfolded
But never blind
The one percent
Are on my mind

GRAVITY
Traveler Dec 2017
You can twist
My heartstrings
In a somersault display
Spiral through my being
Fill me with your rays

You can flood my soul
Hold me in your beam
I am but a shooting star
In your gravity

I want nothing more
I am waiting
At your door....

MESSAGES HOME
Traveler Nov 2017
Dear Home
I have arrived at my destiny
The water here is blue
Yet the skies reflect
A deeper depth of truth
Fields, forest and hills of green
Imagine a reality
With sentient beings
And after a summer rain
The ions are charged
In the sentience brain
Life, how precious is this thing

Oh but  here
Suffering remains
And I long for the love
On the ethereal plains  
In the material-less existence
I held with you
I send you this message
From the human zoo...

GIVE 'EM BACK
Traveler Nov 2017
I ask you
Have I conveyed
A word you thought
I'd never say?
Have you read
Between my lines
A hidden thought
Sarcastic rhyme?
Well
Give 'en back!
They
Belong to me
All the crazy
**** you read
All the endless
Take's on life
Give 'em back
But take my wife!

LOVE POEM
Traveler Nov 2017
I will love you
From here now on
Unconditionally
Right or wrong
I will share
Your secret pain
I will ride
Your hell bound train
Down and out
Out of work
I will love you
Beyond your worth
I will love it
When you smile
I will love you
For a while
'Til the end
Where love flies free
I will love
Both you and me!

SIGN ON THE DOTS
Traveler Nov 2017
(Dear Poetess)

What is your
Greatest desire?
Pitch me now
Your unbridled plea
I can give you
Anything you want
If you give me
What I please

No worries
No limits
No depth to deep
Awake or dreaming
Or while you sleep
Oh the sins
We shall heap
When
Your soul
Become
Mine to keep

Oh dear Poetess
Just sign here
I will lead you
Beyond despair
In to a world
Of whips and chains
Be my lover
In burning flames
Together we shall
Rule beneath
Emerged in the passion
  Of your most wicked beliefs...

THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE
Traveler Nov 2017
Who is actually legit
Who pretends to fits in
Have you challenged
The authorities
Have you given
Into sin
Have you stuck
To the high road
Proven to be a light
Bared the soul
Bled the fool
Have you given
All your might?

Have you hidden
The darkest part of you
Never mentioning wounds nor plight
Do you write behind
The eyes of shame
And shiver through your night
Do you wear a face
Of happy eye's
Taking comfort
Below your foolish pride  
Would it matter to you
If I were
The Devil in disguise
???
Traveler Tim
Yes, I am a dark Poet
I don't sleep with the light on...

YOUR NOT ALONE
Traveler Nov 2017
Magic knows
No conclusion
Secrets are hidden
In the desperation
Of disillusion

Spiritual spikes
So excitedly
Are redefined
By every worldview
That has humankind

Every map
Drawn to dust
Every soul
Drawn to lust
Deciphered
To fit a spiritual need
A simple tourniquet
When the heart bleeds

In the oneness
Of the all
"Unknowing"
Faint is the light
The penal gland
Is glowing...

THE YEARNIN
Traveler Nov 2017
Her eyes are kind her heart is warm
She is a Rose, I am a Thorn
We catch and ride the wild steed
I’m so alive and she’s so free

In the gazebo we dance until early dawn
Our bodies lay naked out on the lawn
Completely fulfilled and finally whole
I have no intention of letting her go

Wheels are turning my heart is yearning
A lust for life subconsciously burning
I breathe too deep and the dream is lost
I start the day with a secret thought

Perhaps she was fictional beyond conclusion
A kaleidoscope of colors, a beautiful delusion
If only to awake and find her near
Instead I sleep and gasp for air...

AGEISM
Traveler Nov 2017
Can you really trust me
Within this old dead skin
Crow-eyed and wrinkled
Hair graying thin

Moving forward
Ever nearing
The wickedness
  Of that bitter end...

Is it casual or systematic
When age becomes a sin?
Traveler Tim
Ageism is an American thing?

SUBJECTIVE OBJECTIVITY
Traveler Nov 2017
Truth is merely an objection to reality
It cannot be subjectively consigned
In actuality...
Reality holds your only truth
Where it is subliminally applied

MIXED BELIEFS
Traveler Nov 2017
Superstitious
Impairments
Form
The foundation
Of the desperate heart...

Holding on too tight
To certain types
Of supernatural belief
Can seem quite polite

With that said
I wish you luck
May you be blessed
And I'll see you in the next world!

ALL WE NEED
Traveler Nov 2017
In the passing
Of innocence
As the operations
Of knowing engaged
A part of her was lost
To that brittle stage...
Through her eyes
I could blindly see
How to set
Her trust at ease
....
In playgrounds
Of callused fools
Desensitized
To moral rules
I find myself
Easily pleased
'Cause all we have
Is all we need

MODULATIONS
Traveler Nov 2017
Once I attempted
To compose
The greatest songs of all
That crescendos
Up the scales of life
Modulations
That evolve...
But in these
Staggered stanzas
Where memories
Together bleed
The music
Changes minds
As drama changes keys
And so a broken opus
Is the only song I leave

LOTTERY OF CRAZY
Traveler Nov 2017
Can any part of life
Be larger then life
We are clearly limited
By the fires of our own soul's
Burning at their hottest
In passion's driven glow

Can anything bigger
Actually be shown
Death, suffering
Blood shed at home
Is any killer
Worth more than their cause
The tears of love
Have little time to pause
As the lottery of crazy
Extends it's odds
To a place near you
Your home and job...
...
Traveler Tim

POETRY MAN
Traveler Nov 2017
As my Sundays
Begin to unfold
Coffee, poetry
And away I go
Just like tomorrow
And the days before
Got to get myself
Into that zone

Moments between
The struggles of life
Balancing friends
Family and wifes
Work and fun go
Hand in hand
I am but
A Poetry Man

Some of us thrive

STUMBLING THROUGH LIVES
Traveler Nov 2017
Coming on the clouds
Your reward arrives
You made yourself pure
You made yourself wise
Beyond reproach
You held to your faith
Stuck to the path
Your death is now safe!

Invisible spirit creature
Made it alright
Reincarnate and repete
Stumbling through lives

Maybe for this reason
I was wounded like that...

THE DNA OF LOVE
Traveler Nov 2017
And here my blood is blackened upon the page
The loss of love extinguishes both passion and rage
Even RNA could never physically mend
The DNA of love that dies within...

He stopped loving her today...

PATTERNS
Traveler Nov 2017
The shadows flashed
Blurry in the darkness
Spewing black matter
As the universe started
Time set forth
In linear strides
Fiery hot sparks
Bursting new life
Chunks of rocks
In spiraling patterns
Gravitational pulls
From Suns to Saturn's
And so our existence
Became one big pattern

WICKED POETRY
Traveler Nov 2017
I hate to read
I love to write
Still I stopped to read
Your poem last night
It gave me quivers
It gave me fright
Flesh and blood
A window of sight
Into your visions
Subliminal crimes
Oh how wicked
Your moment in time

I hate to read
I love to write
But who will survive
On this poetry sight

EGO COST
Traveler Nov 2017
If I where known
By my famous poems
Would not the world
Be at my feet?
Sacred halls
Gathering all
Of the words
That I speak
Special days
For my praise
As they repost
My every thought
But instead
I struggle
To make one trend
As my ego
Pays the cost...

L SEABIRD
Traveler Oct 2017
Raddled by my rhyming words
Her rusted cage I shook
I'm quite sure it struck a nerve
Underneath she left a book
Bla, bla, bla she made no sence
As she frantically spoke her gripe
Some times you have to flush
When there's far to much to wipe...

PROVERB OF THE DAY
Traveler Oct 2017
What wondrous power
a word possess'.
To start a war
or to clean up
messes

Threatening letters
in your alpha message,
will only lead
to sudden regresses
in your numbers
and friends - even your bestest.  
So try to be kind even if counter-intuitive
For the words you weaponize affect how you will be digested

ECHO
Traveler Oct 2017
I have no voice
I am an echo
In the frequency
Of the soul
No need for ear
Or even breath
That breathe
The truth of old
Simple sound
Bounced around
As it fades
And reappears
Hear me not
In the physical
Repeat and leave
Me here

SLUGS
Traveler Oct 2017
Once I drowned
In worms of madness
A slithering slimy mess
Burrowing under
I often wondered
Why I'm festering
In these regrets
The appeal of filthy
Somewhat smelly
Deteriorating flesh
Thick and gooey
Soft and chewy
Warm and sticky wet
Although I love you
As bad as I need you
I wish we'd never met
Still we're steady moving
Slow and sluggish
As wormy as it gets!

EARTHLY CONNECTED
Traveler Oct 2017
I can only deduct
It is not our's to keep
Provided by the sun
The particles of the meek

I can only conclude
I'm riding on a wave
Paddling in different directions
Sifting through the haze

I can only decipher
My thoughts in simple words
Weaving through this emptiness
Connected to this earth

We can only dream of
That which we cannot be
Free from these stages
Of human suffering

WHITE AS RAIN
Traveler Oct 2017
Good friends
Don't always see things the same
Certain amounts of animosities
Interactively remain
Politics and religion
A measurement of wits
Constantly clashing
Good friends are the ****
Although sometimes
Bigotry comes into play
Cleverly crafted subliminal displays
An elephant in the pathway of justice
A mindset politically seasoned
Can easily corrupt us

Oh how harsh the voice of my reason
Us Liberals are always up to our treason
Watch their eyes roll to the right
As their fascist-ism
Peeks through their white
Hold on to that gun
With all your might
Wealthy people
Love to fight

THE RACE

Quickly glancing
Towards the clock
How much time
Before I'm not
So much more

Green and red
What is
This big hurry
To be dead?

Old spells shall
Finally pass
Witches curses
Melted wax
Wicked intent
Set in black

Unspoken rhymes
Formless words
Fan the fires
Of swift returns
Cast to the witches
Their just deserves

TORCHES
Traveler Oct 2017
Larger than life
The paths we make
The voices we follow
The positions we take

Politics and religion
Impact our minds
Poetic prisons
Hearts on the line

Coming and going
Haunting like ghosts
So many issues
We dare to approach

Each of us
A means to an end
Blinding lights
Burning dim

On into tomorrow
These torches we pass
Surely these fires
Were not meant to last...

POETRY MAGIC
Traveler Oct 2017
I cannot explain
The presence of magic
With mere mortal words
Or even prove it's eternal existence
Without sounding quite absurd

Ancient secrets lay benign
Within the Poet's rhymes
There lies the powers
Of love and hate sublime

In a slight of hand the eyes react
Under written messages
Slip through the cracks
Suddenly we're caught up in
A spinning spiritual trance
Raised arms
Voicing strange hypnotic chants
We dance through the gardens
Of lost hopes, mingled with romance
And we're never coming back!

Writing site English Professor's
This is a poetical community
And not a writing class
I am sure you're educated
Hell
I would surely bet your ***!
But you see
Here's the thing
You're not one of us
No not yet...
And the higher intelligence
You're trying to hold over us
Is seeming less and less...
So when you're done
Pointing out
All our writing flaws
Uneven syllables
And broken poetical laws
Maybe read the thoughts
Of talented creative minds
And try to leave your arrogance
In your sublime...

UNDER LIFE
Traveler Oct 2017
Once I past
Into the nigh
Slip through
The shadow
Out of the light

Under world
Of dread
And gloom
I stayed to long
And now
I'm doomed

To surf upon
The lunar tides
In downward
Spirals
Of restless mind

Ever wanting
The passion drives
Unable to quench
This huger for life

And so...
Crash and burn
And live in sin
But don't let the shadow
Grabs a hold
Of you
My friend

PREPARATION
Traveler Oct 2017
Here, in the far north
It's time to plan for snow
What ever is left on bare ground
For the season will be froze
The birds of fowl
Within their coops
No longer to be noticed
'Til the nights of long
Have come and gone
On the flip side of the Solis

In a darken state
Of the Poetic mind

Abilities are frozen
To reason and rhyme

Frostbitten thoughts
Creeping sublime

Oh how we'll long
For sweet spring
Sunshine

COMFORT ABILITIES
Traveler Oct 2017
We are only
Limited by our own
Comfort-ability
Procrastination
Is an adjustable reality
Going nowhere
Really fracking slow
With no urge to get
  Where ever we go...
But ya got to eat
Before you can sleep!
'Cause we all have needs
It takes time to breed!
So...
Wake up and get 'er done
While your still partially
Motivated and young
Don't get to comfortable
When procrastination
Becomes
Affordable!

ALLEGATIONS
Traveler Oct 2017
Conspiracies of the rich
Who can jump that wide of ditch?
These government cover ups

Where people are mere pawns
Every ****** black square
They shove us on
The camera eye of shame
Records the destruction
Of the very line of Cain
Yet so many of us still remain?

THIRTY YEAR AGO
Traveler Oct 2017
I came home
That evening
The doors were locked
She took the key
Stashed under the rock
I fell over my bags
She'd strewn across the lawn
As I saw my broken guitar
I knew right then
    I had to move on...

Sad little eyes
Glared out the window at me
I loaded my truck
With a harsh reality
Into the latter years
The fall out spread
Not one of my children
Have ever been wed

With no children to break
In the broken bonds of trust
Here my seed shall die
Seems this life was a bust
....

All True!
Two boys and a girl in there late 20s
Still no weddings or grandchildren.

NO, NOT NO GHETTO
Traveler Oct 2017
Where do they go
Those rats in the alley
Up into cracks and holes
On into hungry bellies
Cockroach infested
The walls are at war
Damp musty mildew
Deep black mold spores
Down in the basement
A noise never heard
Perhaps a snake, lizard
Frog or some type
  Of ***** bird...

Whatever I heard
Where ever rats go
You won't find me
hanging out
In the old ghetto
No, not no more!

ACCOUNT OF A SHADOW
Traveler Oct 2017
A shadow blocked
My creative sunshine

Intentions of madness
In codes of rhyme

Safe and secure
Comforting vibes

The shadows creep
Below the lights

All deceieved
By what we believed

Who has set
Their shadow free?
