Morning Minded
Traveler 20h
Pardon these mind
racing thoughts
wandering about.

I'll attempt to real them in.

This sometimes happens
to my poetry
every now and then.

A few more rhymes
and then I'll begin.

Begin a new day
shaking off the night.

My soul is still out there,
but here I'll set and write.

These wandering racing thoughts
of the early morning light.

Black Robe
I'm not willing to chance it,
casting judgements through my eyes.
I hold my observations
so as to keep my heart alive.
Sure,
I've been through hell and back,
as much as I could take.
Still I refuse to let hell take from me
the reason I escaped.

I won't condemn the blind,
nor the folly's of the meek.
Besides..
Casting judgement is an indication
that karma will repeat.

Forward
Home is where I started,
on my way is where I've been.
Now that I'm here I shudder,
to go back that way again.

Home is where you make it,
get there before dusk,
love it there awaiting,
with people that you trust.

Let it last forever,
the music that we make.
May we always be moving forward
on the roads we chose to take.

Mumbling And Stumbling
Traveler Mar 18
The only evil
that we need to fear
is not over there,
it's over here!

The agendas of fools
who abuse our flag.
The acceptance of military officers in drag.
Weak and weary is become our brigades,
under a leader who can't find his way off a stage.
Mumbling and stumbling
and going to war...
The lesser of two evils
all the way to the core.
There's no reason to be proud,
no not šŸš« anymore.
Traveler Tim

I had proudly served during the Carter and Reagan administr. But now they have ruined the honor.

Invisibly Here
Traveler Mar 15
I need not identify to any gender
nor ethnic group to know myself.
I am exactly like you,
a spirit being having
a human experience.
Mostly invisible.

By the way...
It's good to be here with you.

Won't Catch Me Sleeping
Traveler Mar 14
You can't catch me sleeping,
I keep myself awake.
I balance myself
in this unstable world
with every breath I take.

With every evil deception
of the powers that seem to be,
I won't stop shining on
from sea to distant sea.
I won't stop loving my fellow beings
nor deny the Divine in everything I'm seeing.
Oh no..
You won't catch me sleeping!

The Broken Oscars
Traveler Mar 12
What gender ties can creativity
possibly hold?
Aesthetics are of the wise, the weary and the bold.
The masculinity of my words have a feminine side.
I'd rather shoot straight then wobble in my minds eye.

So I no longer follow Hollywood's great endeavor,
I don't consider Oprah or Ellen in any matter clever.
Hooray for our side is lost on me,
my poetry has set my spirit free.

ONE WITH NATURE
Traveler Mar 11
The mycelium network seems to be connected
to my corpus callosum
just beneath my cerebral cortex.
I lay naked on bare ground to recharge and revitalize!  
I am one with Gaia!

Bless The Poor
Traveler Mar 5
If they give me a bag of money,
I might be willing to participate.
Imagine..
Six digits for my soul!
I could live the life of royalty
and corrupt the kingdom more.

But instead I believe I'm
blessed to be poor...

Slay The Beast
Traveler Mar 1
(censored)
It don't matter if you chop the head off the beast, the head keeps growing back. Changing from blue to red now back to blue, evil is clearly on track.
Yet how many more heads do we need to chop, to **** the beast and make this stop?

No need to censor the sword,
it's simply a gift from the Lord!

A Message From The Dark
Traveler Feb 26
You scraped me from your heart
and throw me in the dark.
Only so many life times remain.
But...
My love is real,
it can't be killed
in hatred
I could never sustain.
And so...
(The unfolding)
I shall not **** you back,
I release you from the darkness!
I have come to realize,
I am but a spirit in a human body,
identical to you, having a human experience.
May you be blessed!

Friends And Family
Traveler Feb 25
My dear zombies,
being beyond contempt,
I merely pity you.
I've tried to revive you
from your slumbering grief.
Surely universal truth
would give you relief.
How bothersome the factors on which we depend.
I shall not hide my contentment
nor bridle my intent.

I no longer give my consent
nor do I agree,
to this world that we've created
in the hunger of our greed.
Traveler Tim
Traveler Feb 23
Shall you hold me accountable
For the weather too **** cold
The dying children suffering
And all the war torn souls

Shall you bow down to me
On broken stones of law
All those chosen by me
All others shall be lost

Shall you gather onto me
In humility as you cower
I shall surely comfort you
As the war machines devours
...
Please pray for world peace šŸ™

Existential Freedom
Traveler Feb 16
Dear friends, I miss you all!

I am no longer online to be snagged by lure,
AI no longer has a spell on me.
Deep in nature is where I seek my cures,
off the grid I'm finally free.

Bard For Hire
Traveler Dec 2023
(Romanticized not derogatory)

A bard is a poet
But not all poets are bards
I love to sing
And play my guitar

Dancing comes natural
Spinning on one toe
I take a gracious bow
Into a power pose

Iā€™m more then the rest
My poetryā€™s the best
I recite the heroā€™s creed
I lead the chant
In a warrior stance
Into the violent streets

The news of the day
Rolls off of my tongue
Stanzas dressed to please
To the local tavern
The patrons run
To drink and brawl with me

Barmaids to breed
Sweet honey mead
The good life
Yes the good life indeed!
I make a loud toast
A salute to our host
Another round on me!

Safely Free
Traveler Nov 2023
I know you are a seeker of both love and enter peace
but I also know the blindness of an over burdened beast.
Shackled to the motherlandā€™s
home of the safe and free,
where closed mindedness
locks us into war and misery.

Unconscious slaves
Traveler Nov 2023
Itā€™s moving ever faster now,
this reckless refusal til the end.
Still not a single choice is offered that stand a chance to win.

How on this did we agree?
Weā€™ve been comfortably asleep in our greed.

We were but children when the programming set,
now unconscious slaves
on to our deaths.

FORGET GLOBAL WARMING
Traveler Sep 2023
Okay
Let us take a moment
And break this down
If you don't believe  
In global warming
By now
You're probably not
Going to come round

But perhaps
We could take a step back
To when pollution was indeed
A matter of fact
Such as
The black factory smoke
And runoff waste
That fills our water ways
Coal soot that fills our lungs and skies
Sewage that fills our bays

Poisonous smog
Settling over our industrial cities
Toxic chemicals giving birth
Have you no empathy nor pity
"As our"
Emissions are ever choking
Scorching the earth

Can we start over
Sure it's no big deal
Can we at least agree
That pollution is real?

Heart Beat
Traveler Sep 2023
How dare they should determine what come next?
Chaos agreed upon then pardonedĀ when there nothing left.
Daily I retreat to my wisdomā€™s core, calmly deep in nature I can breathe once more.
In this matrix I feel less than complete, everyone I know seems fast asleep.
With eyes wide open I can hear our heart beat, I push forward in the beauty of finally flying free!

Spiritual Rhyme
Traveler Sep 2023
They take me a fool
because of my morals compass.
And still I fear their paths.
I donā€™t need to search any further to know the cosmic math!
I use to pretend that all was real, Iā€™ve taken my spin on the karmic wheel.
Comfortably the wheel has slowed and now my heart beats strong with all I know.
With all Iā€™ve learned but not enough, I gather my strength when life gets rough.
See through my eyes, open your mind, dig a little deeper in this spiritual rhyme..

Conscious Glue
Traveler Aug 2023
At the biological level
We are made up of
58% microbiome
And 42% human tissue

At the quantum level
We are made up of
a hundred trillion cells
And each cells has
a hundred trillion atoms


Perhaps consciousness is the glue
That holds us together!

Mojo Missing
Traveler Aug 2023
When I repost
an old poem
I feel like a con.
It easily trends
like when it begun.
Same poets read
Similar comments repeat
causing my creative force
to feel incomplete.
Lazily I write
uneasy I flow
I lost my only muse
and now my mojo!

Separate From Truth
Traveler Aug 2023
I got things all wrong, I do confess. Propaganda lies until there no truth left.
Blame it on the imperialistic west. Fall in line youā€™ll pass their test.

Spirit creatures, fiery hells, even my own parents were blinded as well!
Manufacturing consent for foreign wars, our media led us straight to evilā€™s door.

Think God now I can clearly see,
hate and separation are a deadly disease!

THE GIFT OF POETRY

MY DEAR POETESS


Before the Night
Placed the moon in your hair
The Sun it shined your beauty

Into my words
Dividing the seas
Drawn by Nature's
Heart felt need's
The gift of Poetry
Set my soul free

P.S. Come be with me....

AESTHETICALLY IMPAIRED
Traveler Jul 2023
My wall are covered with
Beautiful things
Dream catchers
Suns and planets
Loki and Zeus  
  The mark of Cain...
I love my
Statues of Buddha
Figures of Christ
Paintings of ships at sea
Guitars and amps
Keyboards and drums
  More than I could ever need...
Outside my windows
Lives the Trees
Sweet sounds
Of birds and bees
My aesthetic impairment
Has set me free

Unyielding Roads
Traveler Jul 2023
It is a struggle
trying to spread this light.
Win or lose
I shall stand and fight.
Causation come
from the spirits realm,
to touch the sky
we often fail.
We can reach for limits
of human birth
or spread our wings
for all weā€™re worth.
I do the latter
with my heart on fire.
Cause I am the road
and not the tire.

ABUNDANCES
Traveler Jul 2023
An abundance of life
In a cycle of death
How much living
Could we have left?

An abundance of stars
Displayed in the sky
Endless pleasures
On a summer's night
Hear and see
Touch and feel
The reality of existence
Consume at will

An abundance of love
To plant in our graves
Pushing up daisies
I wish we could stay

Alive Out Here
Traveler Jul 2023
Please donā€™t fall back to sleep,
I pray the gods this road to keep.
I travel on through a life of snow,
the heavens shines the moon aglow.
There beneath my weary aging feet
the crush of snow two foot deep.
A racing breath of frozen air
itā€™s so good to be
alive out here!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
Traveler Jul 2023
I've seen so many Poets come and then they go. Who you really where
I guess I'll never know.

A thousand avatars penned to my soul. Tell me why do Poets
seem to fade from there roles?

Will you be here tomorrow or will you also fadeā€¦
Do you have anything left that I can feel you say?

Truth is
weā€™ll probably never get to know each other anyways...

Shall you hold me accountable
For the weather too **** cold

And all the war torn souls

Shall you gather onto me
In humility as you cower
I shall surely comfort you
As the war machines devours

CONVINCE ME MORE
Traveler Jul 2023
What if I could believed
all those impossible stories,
all those brilliant miracles,
majestic in their glories!
The proverbs
you teach your children,
the comfort of your gift.
What if it were true
that destinies were some how fixed?

Where is this place
where truth is hidden
for only the chosen few?
The gathering of angels,
the conversion to a Jew?
Where are your invisible deities,
the miracles of their love?
If theyā€™re real, then no big deal
they can stop the wars
from aboveā€¦

Sea of gold,
trees of knowledge and life,
a ****** heart
becomes god's wife.
Bowing down
forever more
before the judgmental
blood stained floor.
Answering questions like
did you support the war.
I'm afraid you'll need
to convince me more...

Useful Rhymes
Traveler Jul 2023
Itā€™s hard to hold on
to good health and spirit
when everyone around you
have thrown in the towel.
I reckon there was just too many
painful weary miles.

In this world of adrenal rush
eat drink but donā€™t be a lush.
Come up for air while you can.
Donā€™t wear out your only hand.

**** no one and hold to your course.
Donā€™t get caught up in
a state of remorse.

Live in the moment
not in the past.
Such a heavy burden
a victim has had..

I'll put no one into darkness
for their experience in living.
Not while I muster the strength
for my love to keep winning.

Finality has no place in our soul's,
for those who continue on
and steadily grow.

Who whisper in our ears

The dirt of all our
Graves

A DAY IN THE MARKETPLACE
Traveler Jul 2023
Sweet eyes aglow
So kindly she smiles
My heart's been ridden
A million miles

In unison with time
The dust of day descends
Somewhere inside
We could all use a friend

In shadows of thought
Our psyche embraces
In the pulse of a smile
A glimpse of true faces

One last smile
Of pleasant farewell
So subtle the mind
As the heart is fulfilled...

Caged Rage
Traveler Jul 2023
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)
Traveler Tim
Traveler Jul 2023
In that time of our lives
When spirit seeks out truth
Let us not become the victims
Of our lazy minded youth

But rather be thorough
And do this on your own
Check behind each parable
Cleverly crafted, carved in stone

Beware the Old Wives Fables
Let the pictorial language paint
The kingdoms of the garden
Full of sinners, lacking saints

Cast out into the deserts
False believers would surely die
Yet it's more than superstition
Keeping us alive

KITCHEN BITCHES
Traveler Jul 2022
I was turned on by a Toaster, she tanned my bread to gold
In time she ejected me, it was her natural Toaster role...
I fell for her sister, a Deep Fryer in despair, my lust began to boil
I had to come up for some air...
I ran off with a Can Opener, she could even sharpen knives,
She opened up a can of *** whip, she could never be my wife!
I met a **** Freezer, but her heart was cold as ice, I was bitten by her frosty ways
Once bitten, never twice...
I made my way across the tile to an Oven quite unique
All her features were well displayed, on this EZ Baking Freak!
She cooked me on the surface, yet burnt me deep within
I guess my culinary skills were lacking in the end...
So now I date a Spatula safely from the heat
She flips a mean burger and french fries by the heap!
Truth is I'm a Poet
Who simply likes to eat!

We got drunk on 70ā€™s media
Deep in suburbia mind states..

I hold no socially planted belief about the Chinese
Iā€™m not afraid to love us all!

Look through my eyes
and see the world with love
Separation and hate
we can surely rise above!!!
To be consumed by hate is to be consumed by one's own inherit evil nature
