Channeling
Traveler Sep 2021
An open mind?
is not enough
let our heart’s
  search out love…

the lower self
advocates fear
our egos vibrates
  low down here…

how we serve
is our choice
let our divinity
   be our voice…

there is always
more to learn
enlightenment is not
the final term…

songs can be sung
in any key
in a scale of notes
of war and peace…
Traveler 🧳 Tim

The guides say…
We sing your song for you
until you learn the words!

Hyperbolic
Traveler Sep 2021
This may read
something like a rant
I wouldn’t talk in rhymes
but you know I can’t…
I can’t move my eyes
until the end of the maze
what’s happening over there
always happens that way…
you can’t hurry
the expressionism
poetry isn’t based
in professionalism…
so take your time
try to make since
exaggeration can help
makes your lyrics intense
………..
Traveler 🧳 Tim

This will not trend
that’s not my intent
take what you may
and apply it
and save
save the muse
save the draft
don’t bother
posting a rant!

Unbridled Opinions
Traveler Sep 2021
Somewhere there has to be
a window left ajar
an unlocked door
a spaceship bound for Mars

beyond these crystallized values
these ceilings of sophistication
beyond these solid grounds
of miss interpretations

I can not fit in
these ranks reject my views
no one wants to know
the reality I can prove
no…
not within this human zoo

Ode To The Weeping One
Traveler Sep 2021
Let the Weeping Willow weep
there can be no resolve
in her swinging swaying feats
your words may falter
so just let her sleep
her rest will come
when Her Maker shall she meet
within my heart
she shall always skip a beat
so let the Weeping Willow weep
……………………

Weeping Willow was on my mind this morning,
Wonderful kind beautifully written Poetess!

Illusion Of Stats
Traveler Sep 2021
The truth is…
I am penniless
I live in a small barn
in my girlfriends back yard
no running water
she lets me use her hose
I run her farm for my stay
I do own a F-150 2010 truck
she keep insurance on it for me
I spent most of my adult life in prison
people fear ex-convicts
so I have limited friends

I am the less of us
I can’t afford to donate money to Hellopoetry

Did you think differently?
well I am rich
I have love
it is all I care about
I am 59 in great health
I lift weights, run and study daily

I love my life
Do you?
Traveler 🧳 Tim

Bigger truth is I could easily go work for the man and be fat and greasy.
But what happiness would be found in such a time consuming endeavor?

SMALL TALK
Traveler Sep 2021
When white lies trickle
into my speech
I hold my tongue
pressed against my teeth

I take a deep breath
and tell the truth
I can’t live this life
any better then you!

Freedom will come

NOT A BOOK!
Traveler Sep 2021
I am not my story
the narrator past
obviously his suffering
was never mean to last

no one bullied me
they helped me forged a man
into a lover of life
a healer of the land

I have no regrets
no blame to invest
I’d actually like to thank
the universe for this test

we didn’t come from our parents
we were only passing through
I’d like to thank them both
for the hell that they once knew

I am not a story
trapped within a book
I am a poet
the past is what it took!

SOUL CONVEYER
Traveler Sep 2021
My body's getting older
I'm timeless trapped inside
the voices in my mind
I'm beginning to recognize

a balance in my nature
flipped upon my path
bridging troubled waters
freeclimbing broken backs

wishes are forgotten
in the changing turning tides
wonders wearily settle
on a blind and tired ride

lovers move on, the connect stays
I know her there, beyond the matrix stage

travelers fall from nowhere
drawn by bright parades
textures faith provides
an sole my soul conveys

Sedentary Worries
Traveler Sep 2021
My soul’s
running raw
tonight
my love’s
an open sore
I’m drowning
in these depths
despite
my buoyant heart
needs more

She here to share
this world with me
our momentary
dream
she here
to fill my emptiness
she’s my one
and only
queen

I hold her tight
all through the night
a sedentary sigh
I’ll rise at light
to be the one
who's worries
carries
on my mind

An Okay Read ✅
Traveler Aug 2021
Okay!
I agree
the earth is in
dire need
scared and blemishes
from sea to sea
a major facelift
would set the earth free
from the likes
of you and me!
Save the whales
save the trees
bring back paradise
bring back the bees
okay
I agree!

Bar Wisdom
Traveler Aug 2021
Drunken philosophers
cannot be educated
simply hold your tongue
while their intoxicated
tomorrow morning
they’ll be momentarily wise
wondering why
they feel dead inside!
to many drink
and we’re on the brinks
trying to tell
the world what to think
oh how

Cold Hearted Gold
Traveler Aug 2021
I follow not
the rainbows end
the *** of gold
that wares men thin
such are the riches
that turn to stone
loss of reasons
lazy prone
and so I strive
to remain unknown!

Traveler
is not my real name
in the poetry world
I shall never know fame
few will listen
Fewer will read
the need to be heard
is but a social disease

I write for an outlet
for these words in my head
I can never abandon
my lover in red
easing my burdens
massaging my soul
life is but a dream
then we wake up and go!

The Cold Night
Traveler Aug 2021
Her night
wasn’t what
I imagined…
her darkness
was dreary
void of compassion…
cold and sleepy
she held me under…
in a spell
of dreamy dread
I wandered…
restless I awoke
sweaty and soaked
her tentacle clinging
of unresolved hopes..

The beautiful day
was well under way
as I left the night behind
so I let it all go
and took to the road
following the one way sign

Trust Our Heart’s
Traveler Aug 2021
How can one trust
the voice of a poet
speaking in rhymes
metaphoric?

How can one know
the creative soul
Do you so love this world
nature composed?

Can we be sure
our words are pure?
did they come from the heart
emotionally stirred.

What guides these courses
of runaway horses?
these stallions on parade
I do believe we’re special
being chosen as vessel’s
forging a better new way!

Night In The Slammer

About My Love
Traveler Aug 2021
My love is quite attractive
I gather new friends like flies
don’t try an shoo them off of me
it would only make me cry.

My love has no limits
no hate can make it die.
I’ve already forgiven you
for punching me in that eye.

My love come from nowhere
invisible to short sights..
I know the hell you're going through,
I pray you find the light!

2021 Farm Fest
Traveler Aug 2021
Out of the
wretchedness
of a superficial
social set
of decencies
Wrings out
an open hearted
family of hippies

Those of us
who remain
unrecognized
the ones deemed
the wishy-washy
    kind….

But…
annually my people
the creatives
get together
rockabilly, blues
folk, jazz and soul
tie dye and feathers
the goddess so loved
the grove this year
she showered us
in sweet summer’s
sunny starry weather

Arms open wide
as wide as our minds
wider then the sky
creatives
lovers of life
music magic
free of strife

Artist mirrors
a larger truth
allowing
the aesthetics
of all souls
to renew!

I sang my songs
and cast my spells
I basked in the love
that heals all hell!

I bid farewell
my closest kin
until our flames
shall gather again!

Over Thinking
Traveler Aug 2021
My spirituality clashes
with my logic
my intellect rendered
me eternally agnostic

Soulfully
my logic allowed some relief
From the mind set of atheism
life’s greatest thief!

Mostly I believe
that love is all we will ever need!
to know of god’s plans
for a mindful over thinking
Humanity!

About My Rage
Traveler Aug 2021
I don't get along
with my own rage
mostly I disassociate
rather then engage

Still my rage is in here
looking for a breach
of all my multi intelligence
rage is the hardest to teach!

Let me take a moment
to navigate this maze
there's so much more to living
than some festering heated rage

No one need reminding
rage can be quite blinding
but I am not a complete slave
I will keep my rage
caged!

Love By Biome
Traveler Aug 2021
It would be divine
if we could meet
face to face on the streets
or sitting down
to share a meal
nothing could be
a bigger thrill!

In the comfort of our homes
we exchange experiences
all alone
lost
in a wi-Fi zone

Close proximity
would better serve
so all the memory
could be observed

To know and share
a loving infection
has always taken
the biome connection!

The Divine Plant
Traveler Aug 2021
There once grew
a plant of great pleasures
The gardener
GMO’ed it
beyond measures!

He feared the potency
may be a bit to potent
even for a biblical god
wearing a Trojan

And so..
he crafted two humans
whom he proceeded to
vicariously
live within…

And so you know
what happened next
an endless lie
a slithering slice
of heavenly pie!

Amen
pass the ammunition!!

Follow The Rules?
Traveler Aug 2021
Eerily in the morning
I tend to follow rules
But...
rhyming in good timing
lack a certain cool!

When evening passion flows
my soul resumes it’s journey
my word in hot pursuit
to express a primal yearning

Stings of my guitar
bend from black to *****
connecting all the patterns
fast fret rockabilly groves!
And…
I’ve been known to play a bit
of jazzed soak blues…

The days are long
for a bard such as me
For…
I come from Traverse City
with a guitar on my knee!

Fear By The Heaps!
Traveler Aug 2021
I experience fear
it's quite motivating!
(I don't externalize it!)
my biggest fear
is the act of hating...

I let the water wash me over
I clinch my stones
and remain quite sober

There's no shame
in being afraid
fear is the reward
of love and pain

And so I've grown
kinder and braver
since giving up on
my only savior

One eye open
shall eventually sleep
fear it but a state
our tired mind's keep

So remember...
your not alone
I have fear by the heaps!

Pregnancy
Traveler Aug 2021
Is it moral
being the gate keeper
deciding when life shall emerge?
If not the best timing
shall new life be purged?

I speak of my farm
swarming with new birth
Did god appoint me caretaker
of a piece of his earth?

If all of these wombs
were actually placed in my charge
my world would become
far to large!

Dirt Farming
Traveler Aug 2021
I get my information
from the dirt…
While running my hands
through the fertile earths…
My mucus membranes
collect the biome beneath..
ancient mycelium filaments
feed my primal needs!

There is a fungi that lives just beneath the soil called mycelium, it is known to grow up to 2250 acres. It sustains all the trees in its reach.

Jimi Hendrix
Red House

1]
There's a red house over yonder
That's where my baby stays
Lord, there's a red house over yonder
Lord, that's where my baby stays
I ain't been home to see my baby
In ninety nine and one half days

[Verse 2]
Wait a minute, something's wrong here
The key won't unlock this door
Wait a minute, something's wrong
Lord have mercy, this key won't unlock this door
Somethings goin' on here
I have a bad, bad feeling
That my baby don't live here no more
(That's alright I still got my guitar, look out now!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well I might as well go on over yonder
Way back up on the hill
(I got something to do)
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder 'cross the hill
'Cause if my baby don't love me no more
I know her sister will!

an impending

I often think
aloud!
When

a place where
tiny antennas
pick up signals
from somewhere

That why I

Subject’s
Traveler Jul 2021
Politics are enraging
a running with the bulls
I use to follow reverently
My anger rarely cooled

Math is but patterns
repeating through our lives
love doesn’t adds up
equity with our strife

Science is quite random
our awareness of measurements
try to rap your mind around
an abyss of happenstance

History forlorn
a past of cultural lies
beware the tellers of the truth
for the end is always nigh

Psychology interesting
‘til ya figure it out for yourself
Freud would have us all
living in a state of doubt

Quantum Physics
a subject that takes me home
to the matrix
of my soul
where I'm subject to be
never alone!

Rubber bounces

Don’t just set there all alone
set your wolf free
let your spirit roam!!

Don’t assume things
Don’t take things personal
All those bad thing from your past
It’s time to let them go!

You are acceptable
here and in the end
even if you don’t believe it
your heart will heal again!

I don't get distracted
apart from this reality
Social networking communities  
is but a gamming fatality
I've low tolerance for such mentality

I leave my device's in airplane mold

a hermit or a hobo
I don't need google on the go!

My dopamine is in pursuit
of a better me...
Accordingly
I am one of those mindful type freaks!

Inertia
Traveler Jul 2021
I am a stallion
Beyond the bridal
I possess the spirit
Of never unravel

Round about
To and fro
Back and forth
I'm never slow

I'm prone to travel
To haunt these ruins
I am Anubis
No need of tomb

Unrest flows throw the ether
My good friend is the Grim Reaper
Opening vortex into parallel universe's
Karmic roles in complete reverses'

My covenant open ended
Try to keep up if you can
For those who lose momentum
Shall die as simple men!

Ceilings
Traveler Jul 2021
She insist that you look
through her eye's of sight!
Down dim lit corridors
where mazes take flights

I love the smells that surround her
the fragrance of higher expectation
She wears a crown of flowers
in her kingdom of anticipation

She always smile at me
I like staring up at her ceiling
knowing the sky behind
is wider than any thought or feeling

I wish she could see through my eyes
past the ceiling's of those belief  
but enlightenment needs a back burner
while the passion’s of life are released

Arbitrarily
Traveler Jul 2021
These abstraction aren't my own
I was written in a poem

A muse of wonder delivered me
From the dregs of the ordinary

Wading through my encrypted jargon
Being subtlety construed beyond my margins

Behind the curtain
Oz stares on
As his creation fills the hollowed halls

Projecting larger then actual size
A poem can write us in to light!

Resilient
The poets heart
Words we use
Turning pain to art

Chronic stress
A syndrome no less
Our muses behold
The Mother's breast

Fight or flight
Sympathetic states
We resolve upon
Our creative slates

Breaking through
Rising above
Poetry becomes our strongest drug

When the fever flares
Word are but aspirin
And the poem becomes our cure
An observation I made while
living here,
