LIFE ON A POEM SIGHT
Traveler Oct 2017
Each of us
Merely players upon a page
Hidden beneath avatars
Our silly human ways

Limited by circuit
The passions of real life
Nobody is actually
Looking for a wife

Still we dream
And our passion flows
Reaching out
Our dreams
Utterly exposed

Silly humans
What do they know?

All these words
I say and throw
May they never
Hurt your soul...

BURNT BREAD
Traveler Oct 2017
She seemed quite happy
In a talkative sort of way
She knew things about everyone
The who of who that were
On the HP stage
Crossed lovers downed in flames
Jealous, envious, childish games
Enlightening the addictive dirt    
I followed along for all it's worth
Guess I must have wanted to know
As I read her book
She exposed even my soul
So what does that make me
Seems my morals can be a bit lazy
And a bigger lesson yet
I told her stuff about myself
Has she told you yet?
Traveler Tim


What's it been about four years now?

Pari Materia
Traveler Oct 2017
Two truths
Affecting the same dreams
Must be considered to be as one
Viewed in the same light
Inconclusive the evidence
Of a heart hidden in plain sight
Far from indifference
Words that speak
Like sharp points in an ear?
Who let all the angry poets
In here!
Traveler Tim

Oh, and this is crafted.

FIRE THAT REMAINS
Traveler Oct 2017
As the fabric of reality
Slowly comes undone
In these nightmares of society
There's no place left to run

Pitch black winged phantoms  
Filled a furious fiery sky
With howls and horrid raging screams
Screeching down in descending dives
Swooping, snatching every soul
Those unfortunately marked to die

Carrying existence
Spirals spinning swirling
Through suns, stars, fires
Into the smothering coals of our
Deepest darkest deadly desires

No resistance from
The slumbering slaves
Of supernatural heat
The flame of all domains
Dominions of all asleep
Burning drastically on eternally
The gathering entropies
....

THE FAILURE OF GOOD
Traveler Oct 2017
A failure to observe
So quickly to judge...
A failure to integrate
The ways of true love...
A failure to embrace
A true nature inside...

These are the commonalities
Of the unspoken white lie...

SYMMETRY
Traveler Oct 2017
When the curse was finally lifted
My eyes would finally break free
For so many spellbound years
She was all that I could see

My soul wander long and lonely
My heart aimlessly
Never again would I be blinded
By the shallow's of symmetry

HUNGRY HOUNDS
Traveler Sep 2017
Salivating
Reliving that rush
As the food hits the bowl
It's never fast enough
Tunnel vision
'Till completely gone
Lick it out
Sniff around
Crack smoking
Sensation
Hungry hounds
Twice a day
When the meal
Goes down
'Til then
Hungry dogs
Hanging around
.....
Traveler Tim

Dogs on my mind,
I run a popular dog kennel
Some dogs only get one cup of dog food
Their owners keep them on a diet
They are the ones that eat the fastest

EVERY ONE'S DIVINE
Traveler Sep 2017
I've argued with delusion
I've argued 'til eye's green
I've wrestled with my fear of hell
While on the winning teams

I carried those delusions
In every measurable way
And so I know that you're not
     Going to like the things I think....

We are all eternal beings
Bound to natural lives
So take yourself a husband
Steal somebodies wife

Find yourself a fortress
A proper gender cave
Never live in fear
Of sickness nor the grave

I arrived at these conclusions
But they can change at anytime
No beginning nor ending and
These patterns aren't confined

Does it bother you
That every one is Divine
Or for some holly reason
Must you have the only line

The keepers have no gates
There's no end to these matters
There's just another maze
At the top of the ladders

ABSTRACT DISTRACTIONS
Traveler Sep 2017
In spirit shine
Indulgence
In divine
Subconnected
Yet confined

In flesh burn
Distracted
By the comforts
We confide in
In our absence
As we travel
In the questions
Beneath our
Unquestionable minds


The difference
Is provided
Changing culture
Tunnel sighted
We dance
In synchronicity
But separate waves
Excited us
We bleed
In emotional contrast
Different areas in our brains
No we are not the same
Traveler Tim
Who can resist a double negative!

SUN SCRIPT
Traveler Sep 2017
Who can escape
The mighty wrath
Of "The Sun God"
Isayso 1:01 to last

In hyper focused view
The eyes of the Sun
Are hot upon you

Tanning the flesh that's bare
Bleaching every body hair
Wrinkled in the end
Crows feet
Dried out leather skin
Every bare naked
Man and **** woman
Exposed to the Sun
The Burning ONE!
Traveler Tim
Sun follower beware!

WASTE YOUR TIME
Traveler Sep 2017
Don't go questioning
What you think you know
Don't go searching
For some obscure truth
The love of God
Will save your soul
When you have no
Will left to choose
Find him in the foxholes
Slayed in his design
Stress can cause a miracle
Chill bumps down your spine
Ain't nobody's business
How you waste your time!!

UNATTAINABLE
Traveler Sep 2017
I dreamt about true love
So deep I cried
So beautiful and unattainable
Yet still I tried
I tried to hold on
As long as I could
Yet my words are so often
Misunderstood...

MY MATRIX
Traveler Sep 2017
I left you alive
For a reason
Despite all your
Hatred and treason
Alone in a world
To bleed in
Free to fight
And beat 'em
I will return
Someday
But for now
I'm leaving!!

I have not a deaf ear
I'm simply not there
Be not confused
By my rhetoric
As my mystery
Unfolds
Let truth be known
You're destined to fuel
My matrix

HEAVY
Traveler Sep 2017
Although
There's so much to love
In the aesthetics of existence
There's no stopping the heart
From being resistant

We all have a soul
So easy to squeeze
Carry it upon your shoulder
Wear it upon your sleeve
But here is
A simple little clue
The weight of the world
Is not just for you

OTHER SIDE
Traveler Sep 2017
My soul is silent
It hardly makes a peep
It is out there in the shadows
With the darkness that it keeps

Forward motion
This inertia of time
One more gravity field
Holding me inside

Touch and go
My emotional flow
I look to the stars
To find my way home

You wonder why
I look to the sky
There's something
Way more beautiful
   On the other side...

SHADOWS PASSING
Traveler Sep 2017
Infinite parts of the whole
That can never absolutely know
Wandering in human forms
Pulling away from the swarm

Where is it next that you shall go
Carrying with you
Your Poetic Soul
What awaits you
In the shadows of passing
In the darkness of everlasting

BROKEN CONTACT
Traveler Sep 2017
Broken in the long night
Her sad eyes turn away
Hidden in the shadows
Her phantoms of dismay
I would not pretend
To know where
She has been
Womanized
By lovers
Her scares
Deep within
But I seen her eyes
When I made her smile
And so I'll stay
For a little while

RUNNING BLIND
Traveler Sep 2017
Plain to see
In all we read
Just who we are
And what we believe
Worldviews of the mighty and wise
Spiritual leader of the slumbering kind
Followers in a perpetual maze  
Running blindly
    All our days...

All in the hopes
Of getting it right
For a ghost of a chance
On an eternal flight!

EXISTENTIAL WARNING
Traveler Sep 2017
Beware
A serious search for truths
Of deeper existential matters
Can change the way you believe and think.

Unfortunately
Most shall never
Reach their roof
In the shadows of facts
And lack of proofs

In the cave that's given
Surrendered to roles
Sheltered in comforted
Feeble to old

Coming back around
To repeat life again
Judging, labeling
Assigning sin
Limiting love
To the circles within

We bind ourselves
By our beliefs
Only a traveling
Mind is truly free

TONIGHT
Traveler Sep 2017
Take a moment to consider
The way life feel's
In late September
As the tired mirror
Begins to age
Elegant and wise
You still
  Rule the day...

A single spark
Of a brilliant light
I can feel your bed bugs
Eternal bite
Beneath your covers
Such delight
You are my thirst
My appetite
Oh where are you
Out there
Tonight

You know who you are...

Coffee hot

In your face
Take your *** to work

Can never hold
The opus of
The living soul...

The restless heart
A reverse polarity
When poetry's written
At a quarter to three

And so....
No thank you

Don't let the algorithms

OLD WOUNDS
Traveler Sep 2017
In an effort to sustain
The wounds of time
I restored an old poem
Ingrained in rhyme
Of happy thoughts lost
Years of searching for home
I had written everything
At the time
That I had known

In the restoration
Of all my words
I was never meant to serve
The self seeking doubts
   Indeed a lot of it about...
Yet good thoughts
Were meant to manifest
As these wounds of time
Slowly matter less and less...

VISIBILITY
Traveler Sep 2017
Transparently composed
Secret thoughts boldly exposed
Indiscriminately absurd
The heart remains undisturbed
Opened to new wonders
The mind travels asunder
To and fro
The mysteries slowly unfold
Visible now
Your weary
Restless
Invisible soul

GONE OUTSIDE
Traveler Sep 2017
And when the sun
finally shined
All the creatures
Were doing fine
The dark had retreated
With moon on display
There, on the horizon
A brilliant maze
Of mirrors and colors
Reflections of life
There I left behind
The blindness of strife
There the thankfulness
Planted a seed
To be alive
I am
Happy indeed!

RELIGIOUS SOULS
Traveler Sep 2017
My heart goes out
To the blind of soul
Trapped within
The religious roles
Closed in mind
Barricaded in heart
Rampart to keep
The worlds apart

Come with me
Travel within
The innocent
Child's mind
Your god condemned
No matter what you say
You just can't win
Doing nothing
Is the greatest sin!

All those suffering
Would be
Finally blessed

FASCINATING
Traveler Sep 2017
Fascinating how we can live
Holding on tightly to the past
If our memories serve us well
Perhaps it profits us to make them last
Memories of love and laughter
Some of tragedies and fear
All collected by our senses
The things we see, feel and hear

Driven by a common motivation
We seek relationships unending
The love of parents for their children
Is far beyond comprehending
And so the joy we share today
Are memories I'll hold forevermore
Cause the memories I have of you
Are the ones I most adore
To all my children.

LIVING HER RHYMES
Traveler Sep 2017
Thankful to be alive
I am drawn to Nature's side
Fully aware of my decline
Pining away
In a beautiful rhyme

Holding tight in Her embrace
  Spiral ride through outer space
Smiles and laughter, seldom I cry
Living out Her beautiful rhymes

Caress by her soft air
Blown by her winds
Rain pouring down
Let Her ascend
All but a beautiful
Rainbow in mind
Blessed be the Pagan's
Living Her rhymes

SEPARATION
Traveler Sep 2017
It occurs to me
We see life's matters
Simultaneously
The same yet
Somewhat very differently...
Copious
The information available
There's no need
For anyone to believe
They are infallible
Myself?
Just when
I think I know
Truth come
And then I'm sold
I've seen the light
Turn to dark
I've felt such evil
Break my heart
To consider peoples lives
Expendable
Without a question
The lowest low
So
Don't pretend
That separation
Can somehow mend
Concidering
We are all together
   On this planet
      Until it's bitter end...

FEARS WITHIN
Traveler Sep 2017
Do you fear
The stalkers stare
Watching you quietly sitting there
On your comfy couch all alone
He knows no one else is home
Do you fear
All that you can't see
Perhaps there's a killer
Creeping down your street
Or a rapper
***** as a toad
Leaving warts
Up and down the road

I say
Fear not
It's only fate
Close your eyes
And don't be late
Unlock that door
And let me in
I will protect you
  From your fears within...

REALITY OF LOVE
Traveler Sep 2017
How can thoughts be real
They're not solid enough to touch
So how can someone manifest
A feeling such as love?
Can you
Hold it
Breathe it
Squeeze it in your hands
It's forcing us to trust
In the invisible
Once again

Because although you can't see it
  It can still disappear
Love is the sad song
That left you crying in your beer

Blind sided
It can hit you
And you best believe it's true
Love is as real
As the way I feel for you
....
Traveler Tim
Dedicated to:
Everyone in the known universe!
Traveler Aug 2017
Pry not the third eye open
In desperation of your wits
Hold not your answers in solitude
  Surely that's not being hip...
Share your wisdom
Long before we all get somehow lost
But mostly be yourself
  It doesn't matter what we thought..
Try not to be rude, yet
Hide not your point of view
Knowing many eyes
Are watching what you do!

Simplicity is best
when applying demand for speed
understanding all the important words
and just what the listener's, need
caring for the multitudes
be they little and/or small
answering the greater questions
not just for one, but all!

While consciousness restricts
Say what you may

Before you get it right?

Traveler Aug 2017
It occurs to me
I don't belong here
As I laughed aloud
And look Beyond
I can barely remember
But we go way back
To a place where
Travelers are from

There is no lesson
To be learnt here
Clearly I see
My every flaw
I know you're out there
Watching
Waiting
I know I broke
The golden law

I'm not like those other Travelers
The ones who came
And touched them all
I lost my nerve
I lost my way
I lost the world
In one big fall

Yes I'm ready to go now
As I await
The Traveler's call...

As a mere rhymer
I have nothing to prove
To the editorial readers
Nor even their muse
No need for their "ahs"

My rhymes are aimed
At the poetical crew

Creativity is a savory drug

On and on I read and rhyme
With folks I've never met

ALREADY HERE
Traveler Aug 2017
There are things
That can only be seen
In the reflections
Of mirrors and dreams
A sneak peak deeper
Then the mind can go
Shadows and voices
   Lurking below...
In between spaces
Phantoms dwell
Clawing, scratching
Tearing the veil
Demonic angles
Fleeing their Hells

But fear not my friends
It's only a rhyme
Written to warn you
Against the sublime
Avoid doorways
Shadows and stairs
Leading you down
Hallways
Into nightmares
But do believe
They're
Already here!

Where we hide

Traveler Warning
Traveler Aug 2017
Depression can be addictive
As we're pulled into the void
A place where we find comfort
In self pities we employ

Before the sun
Before the dawn
I am often
Up and gone
Not a care
Or despair
It's more then just
A mask I wear

But I know
How it is
I was once there
Beware
Depression
Is addictive!

Don't aim those bombs at Michigan
O Canada ant gonna Stand Idly by
Just saying, if that's your mission
I guess the nukes are gonna fly

Good to remember Red October
Forget Custard's Wounded Knee
Surely a stepping stone
In line with broken statues
Like The Fallen General Lee

Who just said everything
We know is wrong
Don't believe we come in peace
You know we're not that strong

Project your poetic words
In line with shooting stars

Or bend a knee

Hadn't I'd learnt

THE ART OF ARGUING
Traveler Aug 2017
Her apology
Defused my anger
She'd never been
Forgiven so fast
I've been trying
To teach her
Why arguments
Aren't meant to last

But what do I know
About relationships
Compromising
Letting go
Holding on
For good measure
Placing trust
In another soul

I never speak
Of our forever
I never worry
What tomorrow
Will bring
The here and now
Our greatest treasure
But I won't be
Arguing

Has turn to air
An invisible avatar
No longer there
Perhaps he passed
Deep in the night
Leaving his eulogy
Left to right

And all we read
Are lost spirit words
Burning in his
Just deserves
For spreading lust
Upon his page
Sharing with us
His passive
Aggressive rage
Unfortunately
It was merely a
Temporary stage

Eternally
Leading us in laughter
RIP

I wonder if Temporal Fatigue realizes he is invisible.
