FERMENTED MUSE
Traveler Mar 2017
Fill it full
My cup of muse
My body grows tired
My heart confused

I'll raise a glass
To world peace
A couple more
For France And Greece

I'll raise a glass
For Human rights
A couple more
I'll be ready to fight

And now I'll write
From a brand new view
As I raise this glass
Of fermented muse...

ODE TO KETOMAROSE
Traveler Oct 2014
Yours is the touch of an angel
Such virtue within you flows
Like a pure mountain stream
You quench my thirsty soul
You’re my source of kindness
You bring me to my knees
I pray your dreams all come true
And your spirit remains free
Thank you for being so kind!!

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
Prose...

CONSPIRACY THEORIST
Traveler May 2017
The dogs can't seem
To hear the hum
A sound as if
Machinery runs
Beneath the ground
Maybe in the air
Secret compounds
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

Tall white beings
Area 51
Can't you feel it
You're being pulled
Beneath the sub-spectrum
You have in part
Already succumbed

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 motherland’s
home of the safe and free,
where closed mindedness
locks us into war and misery.

LAY THERE LAME
Traveler Dec 2019
Dreaming is for nights
Keeps us sleeping tight
Close your eyes
Don’t try an fight
Dream until it’s light

Can dreams really come true
Perhaps
We’ve all been fooled
Dreaming
Is an unconscious thing
Get on up
Or lay there lame

An enter dimension
Of doubtful rules
Go to bed late
And sleep until noon
Lay there lame
In serotonin stasis
Or get on up
And
Tie yer' laces!

Soul Music
Traveler Jun 2021
When peace and harmony take the stage,
the soul begins to stir.
Placing notes in staggering rudiments,
emotionally revered.
As the receptive audience begins to sway
with the dancing rhythmic sounds,
the connection of oneness
in our blissful beating heart's is bound!

Flight
Traveler Jan 2021
The blue sky is my canvas
Until the canopy of the night
Then my brushstroke
Become comet tails
An astroid field of flight

No language in my dream
No limits of the tongue
My flights of mindfulness
Has only just begun

DARK AVATAR
Traveler Dec 2016
Hidden behind the silence
Of brushstrokes whispering
Shivers in darkness
Silent shallow screams

There's an unrest in your silence
In every word you breathe
A vein of darker wisdom
You've gathered empirically

Echoes in the nether
Fester in your pen
As shadow images await
  To plague your poems again...

LET THE INK FLOW
Traveler Jul 2014
Oh that I were the lucky one
beneath the Serengeti Sun

And you my South African princess
If you'd only lower your defenses

On a safari
We could go
In a land
Where romantic ink flows.
Or Zimbabwe.. (:

THE PACIFIST
Traveler Mar 2016
Before any season
Had a chance to bloom
Or any star could set
The proper mood
The universe
Stretched and yawned
And then resumed
Leaving me with
An assumption
That I would have
Never assumed

It seems from the beginning
World peace was doomed...

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...

MACHINE
Traveler Feb 2019
Oh, oh please don't go
Give me one more try, please!
I'll try, I'll try to believe
Close my eyes, pretend not to see
Let your heart bleed
Bleed into me
Turn, turn my aura green
I can handle it
I'm a machine
Just a thing...
Trying to be
A human being

FEAR OF CHANGE
Traveler Aug 2013
You are not who I want you to be
Yet I can't seem to get myself free
How can I shape the fabric of mind
Why do I continue to waste my time
????????????????????????????????

I watch life unfold like watching a movie
Frozen in morals that were never mine
Afraid to rebel I suffocate slowly
Who is to blame for my faulty design...
???????????????????????????????

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
...
Traveler Tim

Life is pain
You just get use to it

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!

Lay with me
In an eternal lie
Hold me tighter
Then love can bear
Please come home
Oh thoughtless stare

SAFETY’S DEMISE
Traveler May 2017
The Goblins of Gloom do prey
At the borders of safety’s demise
This passageway frequently opens
A blessing yet curse despised

Passion for fury
****** out of control
Hell's fiery embers blister
As the burn of lust
Consumes the soul

Innocence caught in a vacuum
****** up, used and discarded
A fuel that feeds
The demonic machine
The evil eye lids have parted

Nightmares and spells
Conjured in hell
The righteous and wicked do ponder
Through evil doors
The wickedness soars
How many left open I wonder?

THE CATCH OF ONENESS
Traveler Jul 2014
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
All the unrest
Still my soul
Begin to realign

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

TERRESTRIAL BLESSING'S
Traveler May 2017
Did you ever wonder
Why the caterpillar
Was blessed
To be a butterfly
And not the rest
Did the Earth Mother
Love that worm best?

Celestial Beings
Gathering
Wayward spirits
Wicked dreams
High tides
Unpredictable
Waves
Yet our Spirits
Refuse to stay
In some earthen
Terrestrial grave

Perhaps that's why
We walk on
The earth this way

A GLIMPSE OF THEN
Traveler Aug 2014
I once saw things much different
Under a dimmer, duller sky
Yet I can only view the past
Through these present hazel eyes

Once in a while I’ll meet a young person
And I’ll catch a glimpse of then
That is, the days before I understood
That which I can never comprehend
Traveler Jan 2019
I truly sincerely apologize
My dearest southern friends
Our light here shines quite pale
Most the things they'er showing us on the News
Minimizes your living hell

This maybe my attempt to try and flush
My weary restless mind
Haunted by all I've seen
Down this crazy ******* line

This is a dangerous world
We gets caught up in our fears
But my arms are open wide
If you ever make it here!

IMAGINARY POEM
Traveler Mar 2019
Imagine if this was a poem
A real poem
Perhaps a poem about
"The uncertainties of love"
I have so much love to share
And yet, I can never get enough
But my love so often
Turns to doom and despair
Imagine that
More than any soul should bear...
Fortunately
This has been an imaginary poem
I'm hoping my feelings haven't shown

SWEET POETRY
Traveler Sep 2019
Simplistic
My vocabulary
Until my words
Get rearranged
In and out of order
Let the darkness rain
Washing me down
Rain all over me
I need to feel
I need to breath
I need to write
   Sweet poetry!!

Alone I am
I am not free
Hell and fury
Deep in my sea's
Come up for air
Still I can't breathe
Words bleed
Out of me
Forming
Sweet poetry

Sweetened with darkness!

Won't Catch Me Sleeping
Traveler Mar 2024
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!

I’m sorry to see
you’re falling apart
It could be different you know
We could strive to make things better

in clusters of agreements
Sort them out and sigh…
Accept the moment
and in the light you’ll receive it
Catch ahold and fly!

SHADOW VERSES
Traveler May 2017
In the tender parts
Of your naive heart
Footprints where
They went too far
So come to me
My precious friend
And I shall comfort
And help you mend
There's no magic
That cannot cure
So come to me
And have no fear
Trust these words
As true as lies
It gets better
On the other side

THE FACADE
Traveler Mar 2015
Vaguely I recall
My thoughts before the fall
A world view
So wide yet dim
A simple conformance
To a world I was living in

And you
Chemically produced
Passion induced
Love was real
As real as a pill
Oh how I remember
The thrills

Our eyes
So bright and wide
Midnight moons
Amplified
Endless summer skies

Hearts entwined
In temporal bloom
Sat in stone
And doomed to ruin

Quickened
In love's embrace
The fires were fed
In flesh and lace

Memories infused
With the essence
Of gods
But in the end
Love was just a facade...

THE MAGIC OF SILENCE
Traveler Dec 2014
Tall as a ladder
Rungs of the brave
Stood like a Krishna
Words on parade
Angels with messages
Dreams in the sky
Imagine the state
Neural chemical high

It was the cool nights
Glow from the moon
All of the torch lights
Waiting for June
The magic of silence
An itch in an ear
Awaiting the whisper
   Year after year...

FLUTTERING
Traveler Dec 2017
Remember when I met you
You had just begun
Sneaking out your window
Just to give me some

Chasing after sailors
Crystal moon lit bays
Deep within my harbor
My very own mermaid

Flying through my window
Wing a fluttering
I can feel you in my heart
  And taste you in my dreams...

SUBJECT TO IMMORTALITY
Traveler Jan 2015
Tip'toeing around
An endless maze
Of hypocrisy
Thankfully grounded
In a state tolerance

Paradigm of equality

Live forever
In or out
Of time

As our soul reflect
Within the fires
Of personal subjectivities

Transparent truths
Of who we really are
Burning eternally
The path goes beyond

Can you imagine
What I might look like
Have you any idea
Of who I might be
Filled in with pic's
From your minds eye
A poetic soul
Is vividly seen

I can find no need to hide
Behind the silence of the whisper
Blinded by a need to cast a spell
Upon the listeners
The flowing thoughts
That I must convey
I find that I need
To live this way

AN OBJECTIVE TRUTH
Traveler Sep 2016
Faith is blind
To the fear of lines
That led our conscience here
Many will but I won't
Pretend the path is clear

Many of us know
Yet we'll never say
How long have our tongues
Been tied this way

Unwarranted
To keep us safe
Faith takes up
The empty space
Where dreams exceed
The absolutes
Subjectively tied
   To an objective truth...

RIGHT MINDED
Traveler Jan 2016
Again he fell from heaven
He and his demons in tow
The unlikely circumstance
Beyond his limits of control

The ignorance that angered him
Arguably superficial at best
In servitude to his liberalism
To degrees of subconscious unrest

In meditation on only facts
He proceeds to take the blue sky back
And so on guard he'll always be
To protect the speech of all born free...

Power Of Equality
Traveler Nov 2020
Eternity is right now
In this moment
Eternal life belongs to those
who live in the present
Profoundly we forget
Limiting our’s or other’s
Power of equality

Obviously
The power of quality
Isn’t what it ought to be
If you think you’re powerless
Or crazier yet
More powerful than me
Then ask yourself why do you
Believe what you believe
Then start to
Set your spirit free
Catch up with the rest of us!

DEAR DEPRESSION
Traveler Jan 2016
Dear depression you can't win
Your dark shadow posed to descend
Always pretending to be my only friend
Constantly blaming the fool within

But you see
Even if somebody gives me a hard time
You can't block my sweet sunshine
All these layers of who I am
Cannot be undone by simple spam

My devices has an off button
My mind cannot be limited
To these circuits of cyber bliss
And certainly not controlled
By the words of some avatar
Who uses words as fist...

PENELOPE
Traveler Nov 2014
In a vision, in a dream of youth I met her again
My angel, my queen, a long lost friend
I had long forgotten how she made me feel
As the aspects of this dream remained as real

She lifted her voice as the universal spirit
Harmoniously independent yet one with all who had been bit
Once bit, once alive
Upon a weary road we strive

Her young heart sang, she sang the song of love
She sang of new love, her first and true love
In the valley of the lost where perhaps I left her
Such memories of youth become a blur

As I awoke from the dream, I gathered my thoughts, my pen, my theme
I loved a girl, Penelope
I loved the girl in spite of me
Drizzling down the cold rain came
Yet somehow in my head her song remained
Some weird **** I woke up and wrote after a bad dream.

Although I was hatched by a beast

VANISHED MIND
Traveler Apr 2015
Once a fire
Burning within
Two hearts

The consumption
Of the psyche
The ashes  
Where they part

Their's was a world
Of glee and grace
Hearts that beat
At a faster pace

Even though
No heart broke
Upon white lies
Their conscience
Choked

Words that fall
From lips that tremble
The eyes of hearts
Blinded in time
We were there
So far from here
In a better
Vanished mind
