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?

Human First
Traveler Mar 2022
I can’t be sorry
for my state of being..
I am the centre
of my own universe!
All else is outside
of my physical powers..
I shall take my pleasure’s
I shall bear my curse…
I am god
but I am human first!

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 ******!

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...

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.

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
...

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?

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 just let you die...

Beyond despair
In the morning
I'll still be here!

Existential Freedom
Traveler Feb 2024

I am no longer online to be snagged by lure,

Deep in nature is where I seek my cures,

Traveler Sep 2018
Find yourself falling free
In love's magical flight
  Perception is but an open door
Trust is a mighty plight

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

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

SECRET OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS
Traveler Dec 2013
Although it seems we're merely trapped spirits
Clinging to this material objective reality
There is a deeper truth we hold in our subconscious
   It's good to feel good!

Give it a chance!

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?

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...

Are you ready to win!

Well…
Let’s get this done!
Have no fear
of being wrong..
The current system is simply
corrupt!
The furnace is just about
to erupt!
Good shall manifest

A final extinction
is absolutely
not the case.
So get ready

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...

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

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...

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...

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!

Out of Chaos

My journey finally came to its bitter end
I fell to the ground and deteriorated

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

In those obscure places

Why would I hate you

A heart's allowed to grieve

Even overcome
You were once as close
As Jesus to the sun
I sill love you

And now it's said and done.

To hear the hum
A sound as if
Machinery runs

Maybe in the air

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

You're being pulled
Beneath the sub-spectrum
You have in part
Already succumbed

TOO MUCH INFO
Traveler May 2017
(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

WHEN REALITY SET IN
Traveler Dec 2015
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 alone
That and he'd stumbled
Into a no fly zone...

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!

I love pleasure
I can deal with pain
Freezing freaking snow
Sunshine after rain  

I’m not afraid to live
I’m not scared of death

Til’ there’s absolutely nothing left!

I’m not afraid of my shadow
As discussing as I’ve been
I can still embrace
My foolishness within!

it stretches to the sky

of good living pass me by.

Had a chance to bloom
Or any star could set

Never assumed

Turn, turn my aura green

Hidden behind the silence
Of brushstrokes whispering
Shivers in darkness
Silent shallow screams

As shadow images await

GLORY DAYS
Traveler Feb 2014
Where were we headed
When we left it all behind
The thunder of our youth
The hormones of our prime

Freely we roamed, ages so high
Scoffing at the idea of norm
Repetitive nuclear existence
Meaning grow up and conform

Wearing the blissfulness of denial
We disavowed the pure to defile
We refused the road of integrity
And shun the ways of longevity

And so we pay
As our bodies ailing age
Yet
How glorious were those days!

THE CATCH OF ONENESS

Layers of rolling hills
As far as the eye can see
I am honored to be one
With this landscape
Rolling free...

Quite nurturing
Mother earth
revives my weary mind

Begin to realign

Shall I resurrect as a tree
And struggle for the Sun
Tis the simple ties to suffering
Until the pleasure done...

NOW THAT DIDN'T HURT MUCH
Traveler Mar 2017
One of the greatest gift
Bestowed upon us
Is emotional pain
To embrace it
Is to finally live again

Sweet pretty Sandy Brown
She introduced me
To my first heartache
It felt as if I would die
To numb the pain
Was my first mistake

One cold day
I embraced the pain within
Only then did the pain dull
Enough to move on
To live, love
And even lose again

Life can be a painful experience
There's no avoiding it
There's no other road to take
Only cliffs

No matter how safe
You think you are
It's pain that makes us
Who we really are

Has only just begun
