TEACH THEM WELL
Traveler Apr 2017
Obscure eyes of
Shameless sin

Subconscious
Evolution
Stalls again

Conjured myths
Bringing
Hopeless fears

Superstition
Fallen upon
Mindless ears

Love in a name
War in the same

Shamelessness
Cannot be
Contained

Next generation
looking for peace
Teach them well
Or feed the beast

Wholly Memory’s
Traveler Sep 16
I can hardly recall less than 90% of my life. Bits and dramatic pieces, death and traumatic strife. I remember the good time in a hazy fuzzy blur, I recall the way it felt when my wife was giving birth.
Yet I can’t actually recall all the years between,
between the time I was a pauper til the time I was the king.

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...

Traveler Nov 2018
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....

EAT
Traveler Oct 2019
EAT
Perhaps a man
Has more then he needs
His hunger for love
His need, his greed
Surely life exist
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

Slay The Beast
Traveler Mar 2024
(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!

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...

HUNGRY BEAR
Traveler Jun 2018
I'm not
Burning bridges
Or trying
To ***** walls
I've no time
For grudges
Against people
For no cause

I won't be bought or sold
I've just one simple rule
Never feed a hungry bear
Or
The next meal maybe you...

WOMEN
Traveler Feb 2015
So emotionally receptive is the perception of a woman
To see her eyes light up with intense caring
In the presence of a child
To hear a flutter in her voice
As it echoes from her heart
The warm greetings of her touch
She can read the eyes of the ones she loves
And feel the pain of a suffering stranger

And it is very true that there is no fury
As the woman scorned
And that is a lesson
Best not empirically learned

The loving spell of a woman has power
Over the leaders of great nations
And can cause a good man to fall from grace
I landed on my knees once
When I was young and naïve

The beauty of a woman, the contours of her womanhood
Can be so alluringly addictive
That even a glimpse can take the breath away
Yet despite all her powerfully dangerous compelling properties
I’ll take my chances

Dear reality
Where have you been
Haven't seen you

Could have used you
At the helm
But here you are
Again at last
And...
The dogs of doom
Are on my ***

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

Got turned around
Couldn't find the path
It started getting dark
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

Thank You For Your Soul
Traveler May 2024
Proud to serve
such empty words
The war machine
is quite absurd
No glory of service
as innocents dies
Sign over your soul
on dotted lines.
Pledge allegiance
close your mind
Thank you for your service
But we must warn you..
Don’t you dare step out of line.

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

WESTERN HEMISPHERE
Traveler May 2015
It's far beyond perception
Or even resolve
Enticed by redemption
Their parasitical call

We draw less conclusions
Blind in duress
The bloodshed solution
Another day in the west...
The majority of Americans follow their mindset and not their hearts.

DEAR BIG PHARMA
Traveler Apr 2018
Hay there big pharma!
It's prime time that you quit
Quit pushing all your deadly drugs
In our face while we're just trying to relax and live
Using sublime advertisement
Putting thoughts of cancer in our heads
Anxieties needing your special antidepressant meds

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

No thank you
Big Pharma
We will take a pass!

INDIGNATITOUS SUM
Traveler Apr 2017
Forgotten now
She's no longer young
I can taste
Her name on
The tip of my tongue
I see her face
So elegant yet tired
We once shared
Her deepest
Darkest desires
Oh how I miss
That kind of fire

Dust settles in empty spaces
Caterpillars morph while lost in stasis
Stuffy moths need butterfly ***
To spread their wings
To retrieve their hum
Oh what have I become
With my indignatious sum

A SUMMARY OF MY EXISTENCE
Traveler Aug 2014
Twelve billion years, I’m still here
Existing beyond the void of love and fear
Where nowhere becomes somewhere
And emptiness becomes me
Bound by the hierarchies
And called of spirit to be free

Subjectively pursuing the objective life’s best
My soul ever fighting this simple-minded quest
Still I proceed and the vanity never ends
As fast as I can put it down, I pick it up again

A god that ascends or a god that descends
It makes me no never mind
I probably worshipped one or the other
In a better vanished time

Time in a moment disintegrates
Love like a molecule evaporates
Thoughts are like clouds passing over real loud
On into this world they penetrate
Solutions with new problems that complicate

Blinded by neuroses my desires run wild
I turn over control to my inner lost child
Developmental damage on the ladder of my soul
Pretending not to notice my issues become my foes

Twelve billion years, somehow I’m still here

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

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

HARD WIRED
Traveler Dec 2020
To imagine the imagination
Is to be drawn into the fire
For those
Creative experience’s
Are hard wired

Enchanted escalade
Up the mountain of archetypes
There your gift of expression widens
In a poetic array of wonder
Together WE
Rain down on the weary world
And a spark of light so blindingly bright
Brings sight to the busy ants

The hole dug today
Was just for tonight
Dear rabbits it’s time to dig another one!
Traveler Tim

“Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don’t sit down, it’s time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave…”
— Pink Floyd, “Breathe”

Dark Script
Traveler Jun 2024
Sure, there is scripture that backs genocide.
Do us all a favor,
close that book and throw it away!
Traveler 🧳 Tim

Where in scrip you ask, in the book of Samuel who anointed Saul as Israel's first king. But Saul proved unworthy
I read it at least seven times when I was young and impressionable.
(Saul wouldn’t complete the genocide correctly)
P.s Don’t throw god away with the book!
Or the baby with the bathwater.

CALIBRATIONS
Traveler Nov 2015
Run with the wild
Oh inner lost child
Flee 'till your heart's on the brink

Travel the stars
From the dash of cars
Hold your breath not to blink

Stellar waves of rhymes
Crashing through time
Abandoning ships once we sync

The eye within our minds
So bloodshot sublime
On the thin ice of a galactic ice rink...

INFINITE
Traveler Apr 2015
Passing through this illusion of reality
Far beyond the perception of logic and past
The barrier that limits knowing
I can see my quantum soul
Here the emptiness is no longer empty
The nothingness is actually something-ness
Here the building blocks of objectivity
Spring forth from subjectivity, holding no conclusion
Just endless whole parts expanding eternally!
God is a never-ending creation...

SHADOW OF DISMAY
Traveler Mar 2016
Shall I deny
The shadows inside
Until those shadows fade

Or bleed them out

Define my heart's dismay

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

TRIBUTE TO YOU
Traveler Oct 2015
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...

At the quantum levels

WASTED ON MY KNEES
Traveler Dec 2018
Try not to hate me
If you can
I never meant
To expose my hand
Yes it's true
I just don't believe
Yet my mind is open
To all I see!

And that don't mean
That I can't love
Hell!
I wish there was
Someone above!
To take this burden
And stop this bleed
Then perhaps
I could just be me!

FEAR NOT TO QUESTION
Traveler Jan 9
These are the passages
of eternity
A translation beyond
right versus wrong
The questions of life
bear no relief
nor answer
While the raging heart

Inherit the burden
of forgiveness
Your belonging
has tied your hands
Join your heart
to the universe
Heed the true call
of human.

DISENCHANTING
Traveler Mar 2018
Imagine the illogical
A common sense that lacks
Parasitic phenomenon
Clinging to ones back
Involuntary commitment
To a shadow haunted state
Just behind the unconsciousness
  Unable to feel safe

I hate to sleep alone
When one eyes opened wide
When the shadows go a swirling
Up the walls and down my spine
But I've felt too many things
In the journey of my soul
I'll take them to the grave
When the shadows lay me low
..................................................
All those children from war torn worlds
Will suffer PTSD much worse than I do.
I can't imagine their hell.

A SUPPORT LETTER
Traveler Mar 2017
Are you awake
Enough to be
An overseer
Of liberty

Do you see
Both far and wide
Out beyond
Some foolish pride

To tolerate
To liberate
To inspire
Another
Human's fate

And if so
And I know if you really know
You have been here before
In this humanistic role
Don't stop believing
You're nearing your goal

HEAVENLY HEARTS
Traveler Dec 2014
The Moon and her stars
The Sun and his rays
In lover's pursuit
For all of their days
A Star is born
In eternal light
Flickering dreams
Strive to take flight

In proximity of
The Giver of Life
She spins in dark skies
The goddess of night
In the absence of
Her lover's smile
The howls of doom
Greet the wild

The promise of heaven
Was not his to give
Two hearts lost forever
And so shall we live...
Ode to... The Moon of course!.

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

An abundance of stars
Displayed in the sky

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

THE MESS I'D LEAVE BEHIND
Traveler Feb 2016
If only I could empty
The pangs of my mind
Upon these pages
What a mess you'd find
In words of rage
In staggering truths
In broken memories
Of my unsettling youth

Instead I write
In a vague dim light
My heart, it cringes
On a cold dark night
So many things
That are never right
Stuffed deep in despair
Where memories blur
A place where forgiveness
Never gave birth

And there upon the page
The tragedy I label mine
Never again a part of me
The mess I'd leave behind...
