Bring’er Down
Traveler Dec 2020
Please don’t call the thought police
I meant to say that underneath
Impeccable words I yet to own
When I’m getting really ******

Bring it down
Bring ‘er on down now!

Put the power trip to rest
We were all born with the best
Although I was hatched by a beast
You don’t need call a priest

Bring it down
Bring’er on down now

Let your blue hair down
Let that blue hair down now
Don’t be wearing no scowl
Just let your blue hair down now!

BLACK
Traveler Nov 2018
How dose it really feel
To just get up and go....?
Perhaps you subsequently already know
Perhaps you left, maybe even yesterday
Could you explain how true love
Could possibly, suddenly decay
How long where you planing to never come back?
When did your devious heart turn black?
Turning my world upside down
Even my smile
Hooks like a frown.....

NO NEED TO THINK SO HARD
Traveler Sep 2019
Ya but what if....
What if it's much more complicated
The distance to truth
What if it's equal to eternity
How long shall one search
Didn't all the paths lead here!

WILDFIRE
Traveler Nov 2018
Your kind of love
Has limitless bounds
Spreading like wildfire
When you come around
Your kind of flames
Ignite my soul
Passionately burning
Out of control
A single spark
I'm easily fed
Come and consume me
Upon my bed

SIMILARITIES
Traveler Sep 2015
Greed
The consumer of life
The hungry be ******
Gold brings gold
The Poet bleeds
With hourglass sand

Time's direction
Is no return
All the stages
Of live and learn
A blink of an eye
For what we deny
A sigh runs deep
For every white lie

Yet still we turn
In perpetual motion
Collective souls
In similar oceans ...

PERILOUS JOURNEY
Traveler Aug 2014
Passages of madness
Engraved on the wall
Eccentric the poets
Who use their claws

All rest in peace
The tombstone read
Was it a message from god
Or merely a marker of death

Bleed into nothing
Break into song
One way or another
The world goes on..

SEX SENSES
Traveler Aug 2017
Raw passion so intense it intoxicates
Captured in a moment of no escape
Two lovers erupt in heated naked bliss
One spark from her eyes and the fuse is lit

Brush of skin and an electric charge ignites
******* *****, chill bumps take flight
The scent of pheromone impairs the senses
The fulfillment of desires, the unspoken consensus

Take in deep, that driving heat
Perspiration flows, dampened sheets
Saturated in lust and no regrets
Life is awesome I must confess...

When white lies trickle
into my speech

pressed against my teeth

I take a deep breath
and tell the truth
I can’t live this life

A FORCED POEM
Traveler Jul 2016
I hold my thoughts
In linear form
Until my eyes let lose
   The page...
A simple cure
For writer's-block
I use to get stuck
   For days...
Words would stick
In self conflict
   Distractions and dismay...
Yet still the need
To push the pen
Would help me
   Find my way...
Yet
What would I say
If a matter of gray
Could channel
   The Poets of Old...
Surely the fountain
Would soon run dryer
Than these words
That I've squeezed
   From my soul...

DEAD SEA ROLES
Traveler Feb 2016
Who shall share the martyr's pain
Which bleeding heart's shall ordain
Dare sing their last will's refrain
And so hold on tight in vain
Bad stories always remain
Like Job or even poor Cain
Time can leave a wicked stain...

LUST
Traveler Jul 2014
We long to touch, to embrace the night
Where sin is hidden from the light
The taste of flesh, such forbidden fruit
We falls far from the vine of truth

Beauty feeds the beast that must
Consume the fire of burning lust
One gives, one takes, one heart shall bleed
One takes more pleasure in ***** deeds...
Traveler Jun 2013
I thought I had caught a glimpse of the master plan but now my enlightenment has faded into shades of gray
It seems to be concealed from my sight, camouflaged by emptiness, endless nothing
So now I quietly carry on, pretending to understand, so ashamed of my inner dimness, such numbness this complete lack of insight
I wear this mask, walk alone and keep to myself on this ever-changing road
I would find serenity in believing that the more we know the less we understand
For I once believed I knew the answers of that great mystery of God and humankind
But isn’t that the goal of so many of us, to achieve faith beyond a doubt, beyond reason?
Yet to strive to go beyond belief and to become all knowing is a road less traveled
One that leads to an awakening of pure common sense, logic that embraces reality
That is to understand that there was not meant to be an answer
No, not in this realm of being

DEVOURED
Traveler Feb 2018
When a word is wise
Energy flows
It’s nice to hear
More of those
Words of kindness
So simply put
Love is an energy
Humanity it’s roots
Angry words
You may not fear
But I have seen
A million tears
Heartache and misery
Written in stone
Negative energy
Can follow you home
And you may not believe
That poetry has such power
Until my friends
Your hearts are devoured

MY POETRY
Traveler Jun 2019
Dear revolving doors
Like so many before
I could go
  Leave this sight...
Hell, I turn it off
Every night...
I can't support us
The way HP need be
Don't get me wrong
I can almost
   Take care of me...
  Of course that is....
As long as I have
My Poetry!

NEGATIVITY ON THE HORIZON
Traveler Jun 2014
When bad things happen
The world won’t pause
Or give you time to breathe
The pain just lingers
The heart weighs heavy
The storm that just won’t seize

When bad things happen
You look for a reason
But the answer’s just not there
If all else fails
You point your finger
And blame someone who cares

When bad things happen
I’ll still love you
And I’ll love you forever more
So take my hand
And we’ll be ready
‘Cause the worst is still in store

Confusing Myths
Traveler Jan 2021
A myth is but an image
An image is a representation
My words are but Cupid’s arrows
My quiver desperation

Subatomic particles
Are but a myth of our existence
The patterns are repeating
Invisibly but consistent

You are the uniqueness
Of your own story
Your mythology is your glory
Save your own soul
At the altar of your own delusion
I hope there’s not too much confusion!
Traveler Tim

Misapprehension is but white noise
tripping on some really strong LSD
That’s the spirit this world needs!

Why I Grieve
Traveler Dec 2019
I'm truly not trying to boast
Of my enormous greed
I have all that a human being
Could ever possibly need
No cancer, no dooms day disease
I've a heart of gold
So why do I grieve?

Everywhere I look I see sad eyes
Cutting strait through to my core
So many never make it this far
Did you lose, were you torn?

Her sad eyes were in my care
And then she died...
Now everyone's sadness
Eat's me alive

I'M NOT AS IT SEEMS
Traveler May 2017
I'm not as it seems
This DNA is not mine
I'm just a sentient being
The traveling kind

I am hardly a "white man"
Or any title you fly
I'm merely a lover
Of the human kind

I don't follow the ways
That were laid down before me
I don't believe out of faith
Logic set my soul free

I'm not as I seem
Yet you have nothing to fear
It was more than just living
That brought us here

GENUINE IMITATION BAD APPLE
Traveler Jul 2014
Bleed, he loves to bleed
Woe is me, his creed
Dreams, he lives in dreams
Hooray for our team

Darkness, he adheres to death
Contemplating his last breath
The wind blows calmly nigh
Why does he tell such lies ...

Descriptions of blood and guts
He played with life and got cut
Words of violence and gore
He believes love is war...

Truth blinds his innocent eyes
Mere shadows in which he hides
What is the measure of cool
He looks to SlipKnot and drools ...

Bang goes the gun, smash goes the mirror
Slam goes his fist to hide his fear
Day after day, year after year
Perhaps in time he'll learn to steer...

Still I watch and wonder when
Shall the breeze become a wind ...

EAT

EAT
Perhaps a man
Has more then he needs
His hunger for love
His need, his greed

Outside the stream
Impersonally
We hear the screams
Of the strong
Devouring the weak

We all must
Eat our meat
It is eternal
What we seek

Relax
And just breathe

Going to leave
Tomorrows come
And love forgives
Besides, I have no
Where else to live
And in these days
Of reasonable doubts
Of who we are
Despite ourselves
I'll still be here
In words that rhyme
Trying my hardest
To make you mine

THANKSGIVING FOR POETS

Don't give up so **** easy!
Try and find a common ground
Don't be that same old stubborn ***
Put away your
Know it all crowns

Those loving eye's
With the judgmental squint
Here's a tool to not get bent
Write a poem
While taking a ****
Do flush
But let your words set
Near the stool
So all can read
Don't be cruel
Let your poetry
Read!

Share the love!
It’s a gifted of the Divine....

POETRY MAGIC 101
Traveler Jun 2024
Solomon indulged
In the witchcraft of poetry
The magical rites of nature
He broke the yoke
Of wasted hopes
And became a woman chaser

Words form spells
The seeds of dreams
Dark verse light
The earliest memes
Songs of songs
Building grace
Magic is attainable
In the Poet's case

UNABLE TO MOURN
Traveler Jan 2014
I touched her sadness, I felt to cry
A mere spark of empathy remains
If only tears would fill my weary eyes
Yet short is my emotional pain...

I dreamt a dream that broke my heart
And cried like the pouring rain
But when I awoke my pillow was dry
In darkness my sorrow remains...

STARS
Traveler May 2015
Raw and wild
A  rollercoaster mile
Tails of flames
Shining stars untamed

Across dark sky
Shooting stars descend
Even the brightest stars
Burn out in the end

But burnt out stars
They burn so bright
In the peaceful calming  
Starlit nights...
"Burnt out stars
they burn so bright"
Borrowed from

The dogs of doom
Are on my ***

GRIMACING INK
Traveler Jan 2015
May the dark days of the soul
Swiftly come and go
And the fall out
Of your pain descend
And the rough edges
Be hidden well
As you hold the memories
Of your personal hell
Within

Why admit your deepest sin
Your personal Judas kiss
Why expose your secret soul
Those cuts upon your wrist

Memories we gather
Turn to ink upon the page
Perhaps for the eccentric
It's a means of escape

Regurgitated
By our unconscious
Dissected
By our intellect
Haunting us
In our dreams
Blessed are those
Who no longer
Wake up in scream

I am here to let you know
You are not alone
Fear not the mark
Those stains on our soul
Write them down
Then perhaps
We can start
To be whole

Although
There's so much to love
In the aesthetics of existence
There's no stopping the heart
From being resistant

So easy to squeeze
Carry it upon your shoulder
Wear it upon your sleeve
But here is
A simple little clue
The weight of the world
Is not just for you

Lost in the shadows
Are the building blocks
Of the dark poets

Pre-operational
Innocence
Trying to fit in
But the dysfunctions
Left wounds
And walls within

The ignorance of societies
Left its mark
Condemning
Then branding
The misguided heart

Subconscious reaction
Ideologies that captivate
And disturb the measure
Of normal
Thus
The Dark Poet
Was born...

LOST IN CAVES
Traveler Feb 2017
When I was lost
It often rained
The Sound of Silence
Magnified my pain

So I lit the map

The heart beats stronger
When panic sets in
I found the cave of destitute
But I couldn't find Zen

KEY WORDS
Traveler Jun 2018
Words
Free to be spoken
Written down
Bent or broken
Encouraging
Feelings inside
Endorphin release
With a twist of the mind

Expressed
But seldom explained
Maps and mazes
Through the poetic brain
Meditatively rewarding
Each creation creates
But do beware
Words are but keys
That open floodgates

TRIBUTE TO YOU

Beneath every fallen star
There's a flickering light
Behind every wandering eye
There's a will to fight
Between you and I
The poetry flows
Bled from our pens
Forged in our souls

Your's are the words
That stir the soul
Rhymes and riddles
Beautiful flows
The heart beats with passion
The mind's eye travels deep
And as we power down
Our new friends
We pledge to keep...

Shamelessness
Cannot be
Contained

looking for peace
Teach them well
Or feed the beast

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

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

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!

Try not to hate me

To expose my hand

Yet my mind is open

To take this burden
And stop this bleed
Then perhaps
I could just be me!

Until those shadows fade

That are not aligned
With the separatist mind
Or a people no longer free...

DEAR CHEYENNE
Traveler Sep 2018
Did you ever wonder
Who I really am?
Look how easily
You left me and your memory of me behind
A shameful picture trapped
Way, way back in your inner child's mind
Secondhand narratives are all you've ever heard of me
You see, the law...
They put me away when you where only three
Not the way it was meant to be
But second chances can heal
Not the red, the blue pill
No one can know how they're gonna feel

Hay there big pharma!
It's prime time that you quit
Quit pushing all your deadly drugs

Discontinue use if you break out in a mad rash
Or if you start bleeding from your eyes or unfortunately
