Why shout out to the mountain
It's time to fall on me
The sky keeps turning darker
So why pretend to see …

Love so often cast
Like pearls to the swine
The dog returns to his *****
He calls it  holy wine …

There’s a new day on the horizon
As our lungs gasp for air
Existence remains unsolvable
Yet on these fables so many swear

Eternity holds no definites
The equation six feet deeper
Wake up and do some living
Or be an eternal sleeper

Nov 2015

Can you imagine
What I might look like
Have you any idea
Of who I might be
Filled in with pic's
From your minds eye
A poetic soul
Is vividly seen

I can find no need to hide
Behind the silence of the whisper
Blinded by a need to cast a spell
Upon the listeners
The flowing thoughts
That I must convey
I find that I need
To live this way
............

Are you certain
Of the paths beyond
Can you be sure
Before you're gone

Do you believe
There's a time set
Perhaps it just
Hasn't happened yet

Were you passed over
When the miracles
Were rendered
Do you really believe
Or are you a pretender?

Because after all
We read the guide
The how to live
And never die

The call for help
That rarely came
The smiling preacher
Who god ordained

To lead us all
Through our disbelief's
But where will we land
In our free fall leap?

Looking without
You can finally feel
Set in judgment
Forget what's real
Take notes of
Several possibilities
Looking without
You'll never be free

Looking within
The traveling soul
I lost my worry
Forgive my foe
Embraced my demons
In changes of love
Looking within
You'll never give up
.......

Sometimes dreams
Actually come true
The world at your feet
Fresh and brand new

Sometimes you win
Just before you lose
The process of love
The first time through

Sometimes you take
More than they got
Nobody warned you
And now you have not

Sometimes you need
To give it away
Just think of all
The love you could save
...

As the animal nature
Pulls me to your door
A hunger driven
By the sense
Of getting more
I knock a little louder
Let me in!
You know
I like to stop by
Every now and then
Tell him it's your papa
Send him out the back
Tell 'em you need cigarettes
To go get a couple packs
We can go somewhere else
If oh dummy just won't leave
Tell 'em your sister is waiting
Over at your brother Steve's
Cause you know my love
Animals have to feed
...
Inspired by the Animal Nature in me.

In the subtlety of change
Slowly evolving beyond
Those Old Wives Fables
And Big Bangs of god's

In a constant deception
Bringing on the clowns
Clad in white washed
Tie died hippy gowns

Feeding us in withering
Free fall through space

Bound to our legacy
   To be erased...

There shall still
Be you and me
Within the ashes
Of entropy
....................

In league with
The deviant norm
I am merely what
This world formed

Two eyes of lust
In an empty husk
Chasing beauty
As my gender must

No refection
Of imperfections
Could ever change
My connection

Of being
In league with
The deviant norm
A position confirmed
When I was born
...

I was trying
To think of
The words
To convey
To explain
The reason
Why good
Loving
Fades

When up
From chance
A memory dawn
Of her and I
Before we
Went wrong

And there it was
Love's mysterious maze
If we would
Simply turn back
We could surely replay
The love we felt
In our former days
...

In a rhyming
Commentary
Or simply in poem
Anyway to convey
Will you please
Come home
Never leave me
Never die
Lay with me
In an eternal lie
Hold me tighter
Then love can bear
Please come home
Oh thoughtless stare
...

If you thought
That you could
Get away with it
Would you do it again?

Now look in the mirror
And tell your twin
You can only change
The things you can

So get out there and do it!
Before your life depends
...

Love is like a hill
I can't seem to climb
My heart falls down
Almost every time

Love is like a dream
One you can't disrupt
Love can be a nightmare
If you just give up

Love is like an arrow
Pierced  through your soul
If you pull it out
Love will leaves a hole

Love is like a cancer
From black to blue and back
Love can be a cure
But the deck is surely stacked
...

I'm not as it seems
This DNA is not mine
I'm just a sentient being
The traveling kind

I am hardly a "white man"
Or any title you fly
I'm merely a lover
Of the human kind

I don't follow the ways
That were laid down before me
I don't believe out of faith
Logic set my soul free

I'm not as I seem
Yet you have nothing to fear
It was more than just living
That brought us here
...

In the tender parts
Of your naive heart
Footprints where
They went too far
So come to me
My precious friend
And I shall comfort
And help you mend
There's no magic
That cannot cure
So come to me
And have no fear
Trust these words
As true as lies
It gets better
On the other side
...

The poetry was flowing
But not through his poem
It flowed through his eyes
On into her soul
His words they whispered
Tears down her tired cheeks
She bathed in his passion
   And his darkness she reaped...

The Goblins of Gloom do prey
At the borders of safety’s demise
This passageway frequently opens
A blessing yet curse despised

Passion for fury
****** out of control
Hell's fiery embers blister
As the burn of lust
Consumes the soul

Innocence caught in a vacuum
****** up, used and discarded
A fuel that feeds
The demonic machine
The evil eye lids have parted

Nightmares and spells
Conjured in hell
The righteous and wicked do ponder
Through evil doors
The wickedness soars
How many left open I wonder?

There was an old man
Still young in soul
So he left his body
And just let go

With spirit free
He took to wings
He flew to where
The angels sing

But there he realized
He was all alone
That and he'd stumbled
Into a no fly zone...

...

Do you know that feeling
When unexpectedly
A friend or family member
Exposes their bigotry?
Well, I can be very out spoken
Bigotry after all is
A cognizant distortion

I recall last summer
In the marketplace
The sun rays
Blessing the day
Children laughing
Parents smiling
My voice welcomes all
Some of the kindest people
I have ever met
Mexican migrant workers
Such a pleasure to appease
Used tables, chairs and dressers
And used shoes on their children's feet
A Muslim man his wife and daughters
All greet me with kind words
The gleam within their shopping eyes
While on guard to be reserved
Native Americans I do respect
Their culture and their lands
For after all upon their blood
Is where America stands

And with this beautiful tapestry
Hanging upon my days
I'll stand against the hatred
America's oldest plague.

Paint it, craft it
Invent it as if
Pretend the interior
Doesn't actually exist
Create a back drop
Of reason and rhyme
Initiate aesthetics
Present it sublime
Imagine a new world
Where circles entwine
Let it originate
From your own mind

...

Did you ever wonder
Why the caterpillar
Was blessed
To be a butterfly
And not the rest
Did the Earth Mother
Love that worm best?

Celestial Beings
Gathering
Wayward spirits
Wicked dreams
High tides
Unpredictable
Waves
Yet our Spirits
Refuse to stay
In some earthen
Terrestrial grave

Perhaps that's why
We walk on
The earth this way
...

(Warning)

Some of my best writings
Were written while
Squeezing one off
I never suffer
From constipation
Or writer's block

Sometimes
When I'm alone
I feel a strange desire
Thinking about
Something you said
That set my soul on fire


Some of my thoughts
I will never share
Deeper than madness
Lost in despair
Where there's
Too much info
To disclose
Beyond my simple
Bowel movement
Prose...

The dogs can't seem
To hear the hum
A sound as if
Machinery runs
Beneath the ground
Maybe in the air
Secret compounds
Are being prepared
Facilities of alien races
Reptilian beings with
Human-masked faces
Government founded
And set abroad
Are we really safe
In our resolve

Tall white beings
Area 51
Can't you feel it
You're being pulled
Beneath the sub-spectrum
You have in part
Already succumbed
...

Are such narratives abrasive
Such as the condition of our racists
Like our cops who fear black faces
Perhaps you find such dialog tasteless

Would you rather read of love
Higher powers from above
Blinded souls that now can see
Angelic intervention when we bleed

Are you afraid to know
Or uncomfortable
Surely you must have a care
The establishment
Has taken the power
While we were unaware...

I've seen so many Poets
Come and then go
Who you really where
Guess I'll never know

A thousand avatars
Penned to my soul
Tell me why do Poets
Fade from there roles

Will you be here tomorrow
Or will you be on your way
Don't you have anything left
That you feel you want to say

Truth is
We never really
Knew each other
Anyways...

A Travel Alert
Has been issued
For the Travelers
Of The Earth

Quite unfriendly
The world views
These inhabitants
Have given birth

Condition High
All Travelers hide
Take shelter
From the storm

Our children rest
In weary arms
As fear becomes
Their norm
...

Don't pretend
These words are to you
Do you really think
I watch
Everything you do?

Do you believe despair
Is yours
And your's alone
I realize
You mean no harm
You just want to roam

We all have needs
Wants and woes
If you're going to roam
Leave your pain home
Just bring your heart
And your soul
.....

Caught in the cross hairs
Of Death's Sights
We are merely bullets
Traveling at the speed of life

A big bang of eternal flight
Endless days, countless nights
A straight shot to the end
A loaded clips of original sin

So get out there and aim to win
Take another shot and shoot again
So many bullets gone astray
Life is a gun at the end of the day

They ascended
Left me
Earth bound
The world
Ended
Yet
I'm still
Around

Flesh
Eating
Monsters
Hunt
Where
I sleep
Still I own
This
Soul
That
You
Seek
...

If it could be
I'd live another
Drawn out mystery

Written like
A timeless novel
Infused in love
Let misery follow

Passionate life
With dreams alive
No need to wait
For the other side

Right there and then
Just like here and now
No need to live
Up in a cloud

If it could be
I'd set you free
And teach you
How to fly

To a place
Just out of reach
Where no one
Has to die
...

Dreadful experiences
The weary heart holds
Traumatic memories
Cling to the soul
Holding them in
Who can let go?

I come not
Seeking empathy
My pain has
No room for grief

This constant
Emotional turmoil
Bleeding me
Flooding my thoughts
Disturbing my dreams
Leave me be plural
In this singular scheme
....


Traveler Tim

My sequence
Seems to be
Weaving in and out
Of time
My past, present
And future tens
Remain undefined
I can't say what happened
Then right now later down
The line
I'm sure they remain before
In a later former rhyme

My mind's eye squints
As I wonder where
I placed
My next previous line
Somewhere
Out in space
And surely out of time
...

The causation
Of war
Is a world view
Implicitly drived
From a commonality
  Of righteousness...

Yet in the event
Of such realization
Of our oversight
And in that moment
When we happen to
Think twice

Any way we
Contemplate war
Death and suffering
Will always want more
..................................

If I were as convincing
As true love on display
I'd speak without merit
As loud as I may

But...
I'm but a whisper
A voice in the dark
Speaking directly
To subconscious parts

Disturbed and forgotten
These thoughts left alone
I am the whisper
That comforts you soul

And if you believe
The whisperer's rhymes
You too shall travel
Beyond your own mind
...

Worthless words
In wasted ink
Nowhere thoughts
Are all I think

Shall I map
This living mess
From death to birth
To cursed from blessed

Shall I write of love
Slipped through my hands
With every word
This heartbeat ******

To relive the past
In a flowery array
What worthless words
Would I convey ...

It's

Not

That

Far

Beyond

Human

Comprehension

.............­....

There was a line
Of word design
I had in mind
To write

When open wide
My four o'clock eyes
In the slumbering side
Of night

In the clear of dawn
The words of songs
Quickly pass on
To rain

Where do epiphanies go
When energy flows
Off on down
Dreamy drains
...

Deleted from the mind

The opposite
Of positive
Is negative
All opposites
Share this
Relationship
And we are
All individual
Batteries
We are living
Electrolytes
...

Would I
Should I
Could I be
The kind of spirit
That you can see
In your life
In your face
Or would you
Leave me
Out in space?

All the gods
live in a zoo
In the heavens
On display for you
...

Could love be a valley
Where greener grass grows
Where time stands still
In hearts of gold?

Where dreamers await
Those unable to believe
A hundred years
Drifting at sea?

Is there love
Down there
Down deep
In your soul
Down there
On your knees
That you're
Begging for?

Is that love
Is that love
Anymore?

Dear mother father
Please don't fall down
Don't fumble the ball
Don't break your crown

Dear mother father
Please stand up tall
What will I become
If stability stalls

Why are you crying
And holding your head
Please mother father
Get out of bed
Stay in your lane
Pass that **** joint
Dear mother father
What was the point?

It's a war torn reality
Over there
Crazy world rebels
Blind religious fear

Inhumane atrocities
Caught in the camera's eye
Look how quick
A hundred humans
Are no longer left alive

I'd say we're blessed
We're over here
And freedom is the norm
'Cause crazy world
Could creep up
And take us like a storm
...........

Their words
Speak of love
Exceptence
And tolerance
But by their action's
My soul has Been
Set free

I wasn't the only one
Perhaps you've seen it too
Or felt the vacuum void
Of life that's been
Consumed

Or even heard
The voices moan
Woven in time lapse
Without ever a warning
Compass or a map

Shadows gather
Black and grey
The place where
Entropy itself decays

Approaching  
The netherworld
My vision
Starts to fade
Have you ever
Caught a glimpse
Of what's
Beyond the grave?

The poetic mind
Can only be studied
In an observational
Capacity

Any attempt
Of measurement
Would surely
Effect the out come
Resulting in a chaotic
Reaction

It appears
Sub poetic particles
Prefer to remain
Unobserved
In their natural order
...

Your Earthly
Myths and fears
Fall *******
Traveler's ears
(Yes there's many of us)
You bound yourselves
To earth
Where your
Superstition has giving birth
But if you truly seek
The real deal
Fear not to breach
A greater free will
Come with us
To another dimension
Where being of light
Need no inventions
Be a master, not a slave
We were never created
To be trapped in a maze!

"Cné"
Desperately
I long to go
Where creativity flows
No fear of the unknown
Or of some maze that is shown
By light, warm and unburning
Star littered night skies
Observing
hair blowing in the wind
Bright eyes shining with a glint
Unbound by time or place
Before the lost of innocence, faced
I'll give my hand, in trust
to another dimension, or bust...

"Temporal Fugue"
Through the mirror
Traveling the unknown maze
Gazing on, site's unseen
And setting them, ablaze
Through the universe
Pausing to explore
Perusing the next, traverse
And wanting, so much more
Masters of discovery
Trust, holding out her hand
Knowing forever and a day
Just a woman, just a man.

(Was that a yes or no?)

Dreaming
Is for sleeper
I dreamt of you and I

I should have been
Your angel
But I was
Too afraid to fly

Back then when
I met you
We were
Running
With the rapture

Too many
Tasty nuggets
Now our children
Are all *******

Breached the
Gates of Eden
Where love
Is quite unfair

Grasping
To hold the one
Whose love
Was never there
...

According to
The science of the unknown
Random samples of emptiness
Can only scratch the surface of nothingness
Depleting the distortions of invisibility
While examining the possibility of
The non-existent state
Leaving only what appears to be
Worthless ashes of eternal entropy
...
And in another related stories...

Through spirit realms
Through lover's eyes
Invisible doorways
Where secrets hide

I seek the unknown
As chill bumps rise
I seek the truth
Of her and I

The points in time
We leave behind
The keys
To love unknown
By the brilliance
Of the poetic mind
Envisioning streets
Of gold

Holding on tight
To the breath of life
To sustain me
one more mile
Beyond this darkness
Into her light
If only
For a while...

I realize the ketchup
Is not where it belongs
And while the tooth picks
You counted are pretty much Gone
Relax my friends
HP will carry on
...
