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!
(and off your page)

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!
Traveler 🧳
Truth
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.
There is peace and harmony under the dirt!

12 bar blues

I’m forced to add

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!

Leave The Lights On
Traveler Aug 2021
Behold..
as I transmit
an impending
thought
I often think
aloud!
When
my words
turn to rhythms
there strikes
a tuning fork
on the surface
of my human cells
a place where
tiny antennas
pick up signals
from somewhere
beyond!
That why I
leave the lights on!

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!

The Healing Heart

Change needs
our attention
Love needs
constant retention

Rubber bounces
plasticity bends
Emotional wounds
!we’re meant to mend

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!

Death Of A Friendship

With heavy heart
I grieved the death
Of who you pretended to be...

And now I shall enjoy a brand new

Our unfortunate
dearly departed friendship'

A sweet eulogy ya see!
Funeral's need not be sad!
I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them fall into place!

Mind Full Of Freak
Traveler Jul 2021
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
you can call me a shut in
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!

Sorry, my adult children spend their free time on devices and it frustrates me!

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!

AMEN!

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!

Love You Just The Same

over our world of contention
Please know, I’m not trying to trick ya

I know we don’t always agree,
and even though…
I love you just the same!

Correlations Or Causation
Traveler Jul 2021
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,

on HP!

A HOLY REWRITE
Traveler Jul 2021
In the rewrite of the holy scriptures'
That all religions shall obey
Adam and Eve
Shall live forever
In the garden where they were made...

Cain shall complete Able
At the carnivore vegan feast!
The Witch Of Endor shall be welcome
Along with the soothsayer of Beelzebuby

Moses shall have no need to leave
All humans shall be equally free
Love shall engulf the Egyptians
All shall get along according to the inscriptions
  
The patriarch shall be forgotten
Jude shall not be boughtten  
Noah shall need no ark
Job shall posses a pair
Satan shall posses a heart
Jesus shall not be so rare

The Psychedelic Mushroom shall replace
The trees of Eden
You shall meet up with God
Every time your eaten

Certain Heavens shall be open to cheaters
In fact to them and all sin repeaters

And in my favorite book
The Book Of I-say-so
I may change my mind
And even though
I will always love
All my foes
I assure you
No one shall ever grow old!

Titanic Brine
Traveler Jul 2021

Beneath the water line

Deep rust on the hole

And we all Sail on!

THE BOOK
Traveler Jul 2021
While running amuck
through life's despair's
I read the book of love
and you best beware's

Magic glories
  impossible feats
the breath of new life
enlightened me!

Sort of a firm footing
but more a stumble
my religious heart
caught the ball an fumbled

Sooner then later
We fall down again
Oh you can deny and you can pretend
But the book was corrupted
In the bitter end!

Now may you find God within!

Why Ask
Traveler Jul 2021
Actually I don't contemplate
Who is or isn’t a real poet
Like the old cliché
You’ll already know it!

I’ve never taken poetry 101
I don’t give a ****
How some teacher says it’s done

But as far as my living loving sum
I’ll create and display my art
Until all that’s left
Is none!

The Deepest Blues
Traveler Jul 2021
I've seen what hell can do
As for dark nights of the soul

As for empathy
Indeed I feel ya
But that little ache
Could never **** ya!

I have no time for sorrow
Nor to drown in empathy
Going it alone sets my spirit free!

The Shaman Of Fire

I am the one
The one who goes fourth
I find the fire
Then bring it back on a torch

The tribe gets annoyed
Because they like things dim

This enlightenment within

I feed their fires slowly
With sparks of brilliant stars
Know that I'm not holly
I'm The Shaman of The Fire!

SETS MY SOUL FREE
Traveler Jul 2021
A bird of prey went soaring by
Oh so free and oh so very high

Through the airways undisturbed
Cringing worthy are the screams I heard

Morning sun breaking over the trees
Across my farm of duck's and geese's

Dewdrops from heaven linger upon my crops
A soil undisturbed, a regenerate of rot

Well water safe from the Crystal Mountain spring
This little piece of paradise is all I need
To set my soul free!

$$Trillion Dollar Poem$$
Traveler Jul 2021
This is the most expensive poem I will ever write
It cost more than you know to burn this bright
I’ll be using abstract character and archetypes
Bits and pieces of brilliant bright lights
You’ll get your monies worth
Of rhymes and rhythms
You’ll tell your family and friends a new muse has risen
Treasures will fill the coffers of your spirit’s journey
A golden key twisting within your heart eternally turning!!!

Now that you’ve been paid….
Keep the change and have a beautiful day!

And eventually come to live
In the sanitary of the caretakers
In eternal mindful bliss!

I’m the rubber man
My plasticity allows me to expand
Change has dulled my edge
Hell, I can kick a ***** habit
In a single solitary pledge!

I can bounce back
When love blows me over

And manage to stay sober

I never dreamed I'd become
Free of life’s meddlesome's
Yet here I am

Rich Man Disease
Traveler Jun 2021
What value shall we place
Upon the human race
What effort shall we give
So other people may live
In dignity and in peace
Who shall love the least?

What reason do we give
For having far to much
I give to Saint Jude's Hospital
But that is just a crutch
A sainthood moment
It feels good to ease
My bursting store house
Of this white man disease!

KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME!
Traveler Jun 2021
Fear can be quite loud
Indecently proud
But when the smoke clears from rage
There stands a fool
The loser of cool
Vibrating low upon the stage

A rabid dog cannot be tamed
So I meditate as a way to train
My self-control build really slow
I hold my tongue until it flows

Cortisol levels are my default
When I punched myself square in the jaw
Whistling *** of steaming fumes
Let me alone or you'll be doomed!

Don't get me wrong
I don't like to lose my place
This disconnection from the human race
I strive to change, to love us all
But I'm easily enraged by all life's flaws!

A Letter To A Theft
Traveler Jun 2021
Plagiarize if you like
Hell, tell them these are your writes
Copy and paste them from my page
I've written of love and I've written of rage
Take your choice it all conveys...
And...
If and when you claim my words
Perhaps you'll start a trending curve
My typos need no disclaimers
Likes and comments from complete strangers
Oh yes!
The same way Traveler Tim gets his jollies
You too will be living the life of Riley!

Mid June Wanderer
Traveler Jun 2021
The ferns have taken over
most of the forest floor
you can barely see your feet
through the bushy flora moor

Early spring flowers
have come and gone
and now replaced
by summer song
Butterfly bushes
bussing with bees
New life singing
high in the trees

Regrowth of mind
as your nature unwinds
hart waxing fatter
as you take in what matters!

Uncountable species
and we are but one
lunar submissive
in our paradise
under our life giving
Goldilocks Sun

Life has just begun

I been tainted with such beliefs
Death is but a ***** thief
Sins are redeemable in blood and sweat
Hurry, we haven’t got much time left

Heavy handed the hierarchy hicks
Church leaders were some of the biggest ******
Fear of hell fueled by shameful dread
But that’s not how the real Jesus lead

Let keep this vague
Lets keep this soft
When life is over
It’s time to get off

At the moment of rebirth
We’re in debt to the earth
The sky cannot lie
Clouds are but dreams passing by

And so my spirits gently sighs
All these unanswered questions
Yet I seem to be doing just fine!

My Love Is...

Well it's kind of like Dracula
You know... no longer a big deal
There's just too many flat spots

Beneath fallen stars

Yet actually my love grows
But only god need know
The faces that we wear
To rise above life’s despair!
