Blindness
Traveler Mar 5
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...
Traveler Tim

A creative observation.

BEHIND EYES
Traveler Apr 2017
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...

LABELS
Traveler Jan 2017
Branded deeply
Our hearts beliefs
All the labels
Society heaps
*******, *****
Prodigal Son
Know you're not
The only one

These labels need
Little proven
Psychologically
Scarlet woven
Anxieties and depression
Are certainly fixed
As long as these labels
Upon us stick
...

Be back soon.

NICE DREAMS
Traveler Dec 2014
Everything is beautiful, as far as I can see
Everything is wonderful when my eyes bleed

Everyone is casual, sifting stems and seeds
Everyone is pleasant, spirits soaring free

Everything is peaceful when life is but a dream
Everyone is kicking back, hear the eagle scream

Roll another dream, smoke rings fill the sky
Pass it to the left,  never pass it by

Everything is kosher, watch the children climb
Everything returns to sources in it’s own time

Everything is beautiful, as far as I can see
Everything is wonderful when my eyes bleed

WRITTEN WHILE IN ROME
Traveler Nov 2016
And these bottom lines
I so vaguely define
Full of missing spaces
Vanished in time
Perhaps too much of me
On these pages to bear
My ink pen desperately
Pleading for air
Still my heart
Revisits despair

And where is the empathy
You said was missing
After a cold hard look
At my dispositions
Shall we still pretend
That a heart can truly mend
I'd love to embrace
Such a beautiful end

For my falsehood
I'd surely atone
But these unfinished poems
Get written in Rome...
Traveler Tim

I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!
Traveler Mar 2019
So strong
My need to define
Meaning get lost
Within vague lines

What I try to express
In a poetic displays
Is as a Traveler
I realize
I can never stay

But I'll visit you
From time to time
From line to line
I'll try to rhyme

But reading you
Has been my greatest pleasure
I appreciate you all
Beyond poetic measure!

CALM DOWN HERE
Traveler Oct 2015
How shall we contend
With emotional unrest at large
Leading us down
Roads of  madness
Coupled with delusions
Of grandeur
Holding on to beliefs
Worth dying for...

It is a very unstable world
Yet as Neil Peart once wrote
The city seems calm
In this violent sea...

QUEST FOR REDEMPTION
Traveler Jul 2016
The attempted
Redemption began
The brooding
The shadows within

Words unspoken
Forever unsung
In to the abyss
Of all you have done

But the redemption
Never really takes
And after all the living
You forsake
The quest for redemption
   Was but a mere taste
Of the suffering
You caused!


Moving on now!

Dear Sir
Traveler Oct 2020
Please don’t block me
For what I’m about to write
You need to know the truth
About me and your poetic wife...

Oh! it was just an innocent poem
Well, maybe more then a few
Nothing personal
Nor ****** in nature
Nor poetically lewd
It's just...
Her aesthetic covering
I can see right through!

Her words
So soft, sweet and sensual
I crave her lasting continuity
Into my being into my soul
She flows so fluently!

Forgive me Sir
For my part in hellopoetry’s role
If she were mine I would take it real slow!


Sincerely Traveler Tim
Sarita Aditya Verma Inspired this writing!
Dedicated to all you  married Poetess.

HALLOWEEN LOVE STORY
Traveler Oct 2016
It was
In the deepest depths
Of fiery hell
That I met
My Sweetest Jezebel

It may seem lost
To common reason
But you see demons
Where indeed in season

Can you imagine
How I came to grips
With a chick with horns
Wearing a **** red slip

And those eyes
That glowed green
Demon goddess
Dark shadow Queen

   No reason
To be concern
Into the depths
She did return
   As for me...
I lived and learnt
I'm no longer
   Getting burnt...

Spiritual Intelligence
Traveler Aug 25
The programming of social ethnicity is ingrained in religion. It helps the child in making moral decisions. Amen!
Unfortunately it puts a cap on logic, it no longer fits those who are wise minded.
In order to break the mold and embrace new truths, one must overcome the brainwashing of youth.
New evidence must be integrated into our spiritual intelligence. Do not disassociate from the obvious truths before you.
There is comfort and truths in magic and mythology yet spiritual intelligence does not end there.

Dear Liz

When my ear is what you seek
When your voice
Is softly spoke
I don't mind

I'll be here again today
Cause you take my breath away

THE GHOST WALKER
Traveler Jan 2015
As I walk this world alone
I search for love
I search for home
Familiar spirits
That I once knew
Pass on by without a clue
Passion dreams of life's I lived
How much more can my soul give

I try to follow her
The Queen of Night
Amazed of all
Her splined light
To see in all direction known
Yet the ghost of me still walks alone

THE END OF DAYS
Traveler May 2018
Once upon a midnight sky
the ice begin to melt
old and gray the end of days
I finally lost myself
I embraced a spark
of love and hope
a dream of you and I
a momentary lapse of reason
beneath a midnight sky

A Letter To Druzzayne
Traveler Apr 2017
(A collaboration)

Dear Druzzayne
I see you don't remember
The lives we lived before
Oh how I adored you
The Fair Lady that you wore
In France before the Nazis
Toulon in the spring
We tied our souls in Menton
Your name was Chantelle
I do believe...


Dear Traveler
I am deprived of all those memories
and those enchanting sceneries
That you seem to carry
I was born in this birth
With a clean slate
So this life again ,
we have new memories to make

SHORTCUTS
Traveler May 2016
Shortcuts
And illegal turns
Sooner or later
We all get burned
The bleeding heart
Refuses to wait
Busts right through
Those pearly gates
And out pours pleasure
(Of course)
Beyond measure
But behold in the end
  Lives greatest treasures
  Is a good friend...
A shortcut poem
Pleasure
Measure
Treasure
And off I go
Where maybe
I'll take some time out
And write a proper poem.

FRESH WINGS
Traveler Dec 2019
My passion ignites
As I read their thought's
Deep in contemplation
Their hearts get tossed
So unaware of their special gift's
And so here I must insist
The nest is high, the fall is far
But your not a nestlings
Your are a rising star
Dear young prodigies
Life is how it ought to be....
Humane stains
Droplets of pain
Mixed in a bucket
Of why oh why's
Post cognition
Hidden behind
Fresh wings
Write it and post it
It's time for you to fly.....

My comments aren't advice
I only say , hay
Roll those dice!

Don't Let Go The Coat
Traveler Oct 2019
Sometimes
Promises get broken
Subconsciously unspoken
After all
You can always say
You were only joking

I'm not afraid anymore
If you're going to leave
Close the cellar door
I've been in your chains
For far too many years
It's prime time for a cure

I peeped the light
Things can only get better
You can keep my coat
Just let go my sweater

MY THERAPEUTIC GUITAR
Traveler Sep 2019
Frustratingly
My use to knows
Are somewhere lost
In nothingness
I blindly navigate
Using mussel memory
In syntactical frenzy
Sampling residue of
Forgotten stale grey matter
Until finally
A rogue cluster of poetical
Muse cells submerge
Fingers form familiar patterns
Hands grips tight the neck
The cords surface in mind
And matter of fact
Magnetically draws
The remaining missing piece
Into the healing soul
    Of the guitarist.....

Poetry and Music
Are my saving grace
  Thank you Universe!!!

Pardon me my feelings are showing...

LOW DOWN TRODDEN
Traveler Feb 2016
Ode to those condemned
Whose hearts are marked with sin
Who craved the light that blinds
Those poor soul's tricked by mind

From towns too small move on
From the mount to high leap off
From the world so cruel
Where hypocrites rule
Change your name
And let your heart be lost


Ode to the Lost and Forgotten
Abandon and labeled as rotten
In their hearts disappear
In their rear view mirrors
Condemned to the low down trodden...

PEACE ON MY MIND
Traveler Nov 2014
Caravan of infidel's
Show me
What I've missed
I tip my hat
Raise my glass
And await
The gypsy kiss

Burry now
Those hatches
Stained in blood
Of old
I lost my reason
To live in hate
Many years ago

But have you?

POETIC SOULS
Traveler Dec 2017
Did you enjoy your life
This time through?
Perhaps next time
I could come with you
Into a world
Of love and peace
The two of us as
Sentient beings
Living and loving
Never a regret
Surely an existence
  We haven't had yet...
Holding on forever
To a familiar role
Connected by a spirit
Of poetic souls

And Action!
Traveler May 1
This limited control
takes it tow
as we survey these paths
of all we know.

Circumstantial accidents
did you catch the subtle hint?

Did your thinking
leave you sinking
in a states of hell?
Smoking and drinking
old habits creeping
around the wishing well

This karmic wheel
is going to hold us fast,
if that’s the way
we’re going to act..

TO OUR CHILDREN
Traveler Oct 2014
Our hopes for you may fall short
Of the dangers of life’s desires
And although you may not see it now
This world is a consuming fire

Yet we will always have room for you
In our hearts and in our home
A place for you to stop and rest
From the long and weary road

GIVE A DAMN
Traveler Oct 2014
Have we forgotten how to care
And how to give a ****
Our people go without
There's hunger in our land

The haves have excessively much
And hold on to it tight
The have-nots have so little
That they can’t afford to fight

The winds of change are blowing cold
On humanity's naked face
We just blew 800 billion dollars
To bail out problematic banks

Watch as children starve
A lack of interest takes the stage
Women still lack equality
Another black man killed today

But we can't afford such mercy
'Cause were financing another war
Have we forgotten how to care
And what this life is for?

Human First
Traveler Mar 2022
I can’t be sorry
for my state of being..

I shall bear my curse…
I am god
but I am human first!

Out of Chaos
Traveler Nov 2020
My journey finally came to its bitter end
I fell to the ground and deteriorated
I slipped deep into restfulness of soul
Surprisingly up from my after pile
A beautiful fungus forms
My wormed over residual self
From the ashes reborn
This is my new breath!
Order out of my Chaos

Find yourself falling free
In love's magical flight

Now our planets have aligned
Stand by to receive the cocoordinates
Do you prefer the physical
Or sublime?

STONED SOBER
Traveler Sep 2019
I 'm bravely fearful
The bitter end
Is still quite far away
That's why I live
So lowly
Buried in outer space
Counting the blessings
Of every curse
It seemed better
When things were worst

This final oxymoron
Makes perfect sense
I'm fearfully confident
At my own expense
It freely cost
More then I own
That's why I stay sober
Cause I'm trying to get ******!

THE DEVIANT NORM
Traveler May 2017
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

SECRET OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS

OVERSHADOWS
Traveler Mar 2016
The magnificence of knowledge
Is like a heavy pile of shiny gold
That can strain your mental back
As you're gracefully growing old

So spend your pile wisely
And teach your people well
Overshadowed by your light
Is the presence of their hell
...
WINNERS AND LOSERS

Winners and losers, turn the pages of my life
We're beggars and choosers, with all the struggles and the strife
I got no reason to turn my head and look the other way
We're good and we're evil, which one will I be today?

There's saints and sinners
Life's a gamble and you might lose
There's cowards and heroes
Both have been known now to break the rules
There's lovers and haters
The strong and the weak will all have their day
We're devils and angels
Which one will I be today?

Chorus:
Are you happy now with all the choices you've made?
Are there times in life when you know you should've stayed?
Will you compromise and then realize the price is too much to pay?
Winners and losers, which one will you be today?

There's a light and a dark side
Standing at the crossroads, there we'll meet
There's prophets and fools there
The lies and the truth, will be at our feet
I got a reason to turn my head and look the other way
Its heaven and hell here, which one will I live today?

THOUGHT TEST
Traveler Jul 2018
If I could catch
And ride the night
What shadows would I leave
Upon an unsuspecting world
Of hungry heart's and thief's

If I were but a silhouette
Of envy hate and greed
I'd cast myself upon the rich
And let my darkness breathe

If I were but a devil
Burning in disguise
I would catch and pull the wool
Over every weary eye

But I am but a Poet
And I wish the world the best
Creatively curious
Giving every thought a test

NEW GODS
Traveler Feb 2017
And on to thee I ask
Could you worship me
If I were a burning bush
And not just any deity

Before a flood can drown your mind
Before a wrath can end all time
Would you take a knee

If I were washed in putrid muck
To set your spirit free
If I could give you meaning
A reason just to be
If I were nicknamed Wisdom
Or King of all the Kings
Would you bow down holy
And come and join my team

Would you believe in me
If I came to you in a dream
Walking on the surface
Of a clear running stream
Or if I were but a Star
Who fell from heaven
To where you are...
Would you at least
Come sit by my fire
No need to bow down
   Unless you desire...

No Answer Necessary
Traveler Dec 2014
I defied the principles laid down before our race
I chose to bring about change at a considerably faster pace
By searching beyond these limits of our terrestrial bounds
I dared to seek out the place where gods could be found

I questioned those who believed without surety
This was surely a path of reverse polarity
With such questions posed they became predisposed
With that familiar look of un-clarity...

The higher you reach, you begin to fall
The farther you fall you become out of reach
This may sound absurd but it's not written in words
That can only be deciphered by the meek...

The answers are not what's important to know
The questions you put forth can free your soul
From a world of fear and superstitious ties
Piece and clarity are waiting inside...

DON'T WAKE ME
Traveler Nov 2014
You come home late in your short skirt
You're such a flirt, that's what really hurt
I pretend to be asleep as you enter
You see at this game I'm a beginner
In my universe you've become the center
I'm never sure what to say or do
When I get the blues
So I act a fool

Under your breath you start to giggle
You crawl in bed and start to wiggle
My emotions get so fickled
  Inside I start to cringe
Cuz you need to make amends
Fast asleep I still pretend
Yet I guess you have your plan
And it's all that I can stand
When you whisper "You're my man!"

Don't wake me from this dream
It's not a bad dream
Hell I don't know what it means
First I start to waste away
Then you feel the need to play
Perhaps I'll figure life out someday...

Why would I hate you

As Jesus to the sun

JUSTIFICATIONS
Traveler Dec 2017
It appears that there
Are lonely hearts on here
Strangers that long to greet
Worlds apart prepared to meet

To extend friendly word
Across lines and boarders
To dry their subtle tears
On a friendly strange freeloader

It appears that life
Is getting older
Colder and bolder
And so I share
With all my lovers
My busy hungry shoulders!

Are far from my mirror
She touches my heart
Whenever she near
Take her down deep
And hold her inside

And travel to worlds
That exist in my soul
Engulfed in her love
And never let go...

FEARS IN TOW
Traveler Feb 2016
Take comfort
In the love of life
Stand fast
In the face of strife
Be bold
'Til the end be near
Climb aboard
Let your intuition steer

If we could peer
To the end from near
Would we see our fears decline
And know for sure
That our existence endures
Beyond scientific confines

I would believe
Yet even the mind deceives
A heart that cannot know
So shall we
Rest in peace
Beyond the grief
Of these fears we have in tow...
