THE REAL WALL
Traveler Dec 2015
When a wall in our mind exists
Between intellect and spirituality
It tends to be a dangerous wall...
Intellect; The faculty of reasoning  and understanding objectivity...

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

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...

SPLIT ENDINGS
Traveler Jul 2016
Where are you now
My reckless desire
Come share my warnth
You sweet ***** liar
Tell us not of
The truth of souls
Burn the bridges
   When you go...

Who are you now
Slight of my dreams
Long gypsy nights
Shrill banshee screams
Follow me down
The path of split ends
Into the shadows
   Of all that has been...

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

ONE LAST TIME
Traveler Aug 2019
I know it to be true
The gods have chosen
Me to be blue
I know it to be real
The blessings of the gods
  Is the hell I feel...
I travel through time
What a lapse
Upon ones mind
But I’ll remember
In due time
The love that we shared
That is
If the gods would let me
One last time
Come up for air....

Rough around the edges
Emotional scars run deep
I have a million ***** secrets
That I'm not afraid to leak

Poetic heart
To turn her pain

Directed at me
Even broken hearts
Need to feed....

SORRY TO SAY
Traveler Jun 2016
Please bear with me
'Til my words be read
I am not your enemy
No matter what I said

Relax now
Don't draw a mob
As I said before
I have no problem with your god

Blessed be the light
Of your darkest day
For I would never
   Ever turn you away

But sometimes
there are just somethings
I am compelled to say
Like for instance
  Even though you label me
I love you anyways...
Infidel, atheists, gnostic, sorcerer, I'm all  these things and so much more! (-;

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...

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!.

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

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 LIFE
Traveler Aug 2019
Haven’t you beat me down enough for one existence?
This time even my soul is tired!
I’ve been found a million times
But still I get lost in rhythms
Dreaming about a better place
Where angels no longer hide
Please let me become Divine...

Found and lost in rhyme
Repeating line after line...  Someone call me a shrink!!! (-;

I’m sorry to see
you’re falling apart
It could be different you know
We could strive to make things better
  Reimagine our roles…
These dreams manifest themselves
in clusters of agreements
Sort them out and sigh…
Accept the moment
and in the light you’ll receive it
Catch ahold and fly!

OUTSIDE OF CHRISTMAS
Traveler Aug 2013
There was magic in the air
And a gleam in every eye
As they sang aloud in harmony
In good cheer and good pride
But there was nothing there for me
I was just passing by

The wonders of all ages
The highest of all heights
A baby in a manger
Come to turn their wrong to right
Me I was outside getting ******
Wouldn’t even answer my phone

As if an angel down from heaven
Come to bless this holy night
An outreach to sick and blind
And all poor in sight
And so I hid my eyes
And pretended not to see
For there’s nothing I could relate to
My gift is being free…
Stay away from from the purple acid... The loud speakers warned!
The music cast a spell and shaped me in its form.

THE EVIL FREE
Traveler Nov 2016
Within a paradox
Behind misguided thoughts
A rational mind
Can get twisted and caught

What would the world be
If freedom wasn't large?
Dictators and oppressor
Leaving historical scars

Yet it seems freedom
Has failed humanities test
Perhaps the evil free
Are too **** blesses!

WHAT I’M ABOUT

Shaped by years of worry
My heart is always in a hurry
I can’t help but eat you whole...

Composed of emotions and thunder
My poems will make you wonder
Before they take their toll

But that’s not what I’m about
I’ll never leave a bad taste
In your mouth
Or your soul

LADDERS
Traveler Jun 2014
Time, love, happiness all are relevant to this unresolved conclusion
Positive energy is pursue like the chasing after a ghost through an endless maze
These hedges hide the guides we follow, this way, this way
A voice echoes from the other side

My dreams are filled with broken images, flashes of lost loves
Deaths I died, places I played as a child
Parts and pieces of my soul’s journey spread thin across this universe
And dissolve into the fabric of my existence...

Good karma and bad karma off-balancing aspects
Of our rebirths and growth
Yet blinded we climb this ladder of evolution
Here the goal shall be achieved
The ancient road-map is only a symbol, the road itself is reality
And so our gods smiles and says hold your course...

ONLY THE LONELY
Traveler Feb 2018
Could I touch you deeper
With words that have
No end
Everybody has a hungry heart
There’s no shame
In needing friends
It’s true, it’s true
We all have needs
Where else would
All these words lead
Transparent are our pleas
Please, please come read me
Take me away across the sea
There’s no shame
In being lonely

ABUNDANCES
Traveler Jun 2018
An abundance of life
In a cycle of death
How much living
Could we have left?

An abundance of stars
Displayed in the sky
Endless pleasures
On a summer's night
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

A Broken Rhyme Nobody Knows
Traveler Dec 2018
Once upon a time

And how it all went wrong

TO YOU
Traveler Dec 2014
Velvety roses so pleasing to the senses
Convey such messages as apologies and love
The aroma of angels in blue blurry skies
Stardust, rainbows and dreams from above

To brighten your new day
With magic and laughter
A spectrum of colors
So brilliantly captured

A life refreshed
Each moment within
May the blessings of new days
On this day begin
Sorry I've been gone so long!

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

SO MUCH TO FEAR
Traveler Apr 2015
Fear forged from experience
Like the memory of a burn
Worthy to avoid the lesson learned

But fear of the unknown
Is but a stranger on the phone
Chill bumps climb up the back
Of the child home alone

Candidates for sainthood
Caught up in god's test
Open up your heart
And you'll fear less and less

Rewards are here and now
When you ease a child's pain
Tear down the walls of self-righteousness
Or cast your love in vain...

Sure, there is scripture that backs genocide.
Do us all a favor,

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.

BITTER WINE
Traveler Jul 2018
"Compromise"
Superimposed to make it fit

Callously tired my heart grows numb
Her intolerance ringing in my ear
I drink my wine and disappear....

DEAR SWEET POETESS
Traveler Jan 2017
Those sweet small words
Warm my blood to ink
Yours are like cold fingertips
Underneath my sheets

Daring maze
That pretty face
Impressions of beauty
Tender gender Grace
Poetically positioned
Upon the vague venue
Of your HP page

Short burst
Of Interrupted trust
Built our walls
As it must

Yet
Before you leave
If I could insist
I would beg the words
That describe your kiss
That fills my heart
With silent moans
Sweet lovely creature
Where do you roam

OUT OF PHASE AND ADRIFT
Traveler Aug 2014
Breathe the world in, then let it out
As we contemplate what life is really about
Perhaps it’s a mark upon the world we’re meant to leave
Or some final truth we’re supposed to perceive

Then again maybe we allow ourselves
To be deceived
By the views of science and these religions
We feel compelled to believe
Yet what is it, as sentient beings that we really need?

I observed two lovers blemished by hard life and circumstance
Yet they held tight to true romance
The radiance of their love for each other shone
With the brilliance and beauty of the Kosmos

Two parts come together and on into infinity as a greater whole
Yet I am but a fragment broken and adrift
Out of phase and in no position to repair the rift
So allow me to impart to you these words
Find love before the meaning becomes a blur...

HER TIME
Traveler Jan 2015
High in my sky
She shines divine
I smile knowing
This day is mine

Her ray of hope
Devoured the night
Releasing me from
The perpetual fight

Blessed are my shadows
They're clearly a sign
Out of the wilderness
A new piece of mind

In the coldest of days
In the darkest of nights
A simple display
A new breath on life

Aesthetics visualized
Dissected and processed

In unfathomable patterns
Disappearing, reappearing

In biographic memory
And finally set free
Onto the canvas

Spiritual Rhyme
Traveler Sep 2023
They take me a fool
because of my morals compass.
And still I fear their paths.
I don’t need to search any further to know the cosmic math!
I use to pretend that all was real, I’ve taken my spin on the karmic wheel.
Comfortably the wheel has slowed and now my heart beats strong with all I know.
With all I’ve learned but not enough, I gather my strength when life gets rough.
See through my eyes, open your mind, dig a little deeper in this spiritual rhyme..

Passing through this illusion of reality
Far beyond the perception of logic and past
The barrier that limits knowing

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...

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.

As so many times before
Again I held you oh so tight
I could have never loved you more

Again I tried to make you stay
I was never quite that strong
Again you turned and walked away
I often wondered what went wrong

Together we made a commitment
To death do us part
But again I lost you before dawn
And again you broke my heart...
