The past no longer exist
The future will never be here
We will always be in this moment

Once I past
Into the nigh
Slip through
The shadow
Out of the light

Under world
Of dread
And gloom
I stayed to long
And now
I'm doomed

To surf upon
The lunar tides
In downward
Spirals
Of restless mind

Ever wanting
The passion drives
Unable to quench
This huger for life

And so...
Crash and burn
And live in sin
But don't let the shadow
Grabs a hold
Of you
My friend
...

And so I submit
To the gross qualifications
The abstractions of my relationship
With the dark side of poetry

These ties
In which some sort
Of  heart ache release
Finds definition in ink

Were the hints beyond subtle
As my words progressed?
I was merely describing
The age old mess

And perhaps the deprivations
Placed me in their servitude
Yet I embrace my darkness
In a state of gratitude...

As the storm blows over
The calming effect slowly sets in
Leaving me in a state of disarray
Finally my paths are open
But it's hard to move
I guess that storm
Nearly ran me through

On the wings of angels my love I send
Across the great divide
My message they've written in dust of stars
Which reflect within your eyes

The days shall come, the gods shall smile
And their nectar we shall taste
These doors and locks shall soon fall open
And together we will embrace

So break the chains of loves gone bad
Such clouds get in the way
The source of our power is to let love flow
So believe in us I pray

You are but a snowflake
Who's storm refuse to grow
I am but a bitter wind
Out in your freezing cold
....

Take a moment to consider
The way life feel's
In late September
As the tired mirror
Begins to age
Elegant and wise
You still
  Rule the day...

A single spark
Of a brilliant light
I can feel your bed bugs
Eternal bite
Beneath your covers
Such delight
You are my thirst
My appetite
Oh where are you
Out there
Tonight
....?

Eyes of acceptance
Kind warm smile
As if she's known me
For some while

Familiar spirit within
Sublimable love she sends
Without a thought I move
Not wondering when or who

Now etched in my morning mind
I greet others as sublime
Caused by a single effect
An Angel perhaps once met...

Hope is carried upon subjective words
The manifestation of ideologies
Introduced into our objective realities

Yet I can no longer contain
A hope for what could possibly remain
Under hope's spell
The side effects
Of hope mania
.....

I opened a door
Immoral and vile
Less than the blink of an eye
She embraced her wild
In needles and ******
And bent steel spoons
I left her there
In her anti-social doom

So long ago
When immortality ruled
The rush of madness
That we pursued
Lost like rats
In city walls
Chasing death
Until we fall...

The only evil
that we need to fear
is not over there,
it's over here!

The agendas of fools
who abuse our flag.
The acceptance of military officers in drag.
Weak and weary is become our brigades,
under a leader who can't find his way off a stage.
Mumbling and stumbling
and going to war...
The lesser of two evils
all the way to the core.
There's no reason to be proud,
no not 🚫 anymore.

She’s dancing and spinning in circles
Her arms open wide
The joy of life shining from her eyes
Her mommy and daddy love her so good
All her aspects so well understood

No dysfunctions, no issues
No wars to be won
Just beauty and perfection
And love by the tons

Unfortunately it’s only an illusion
And the truth is very sad
Her mother’s a low-down ******
She had *** with her dad

She may be coming she may be going
She’s not really sure
Her life is been moving so **** quickly
That her memories are a blur...

Depression can be addictive
As we're pulled into the void
A place where we find comfort
In self pities we employ

Before the sun
Before the dawn
I am often
Up and gone
Not a care
Or despair
It's more then just
A mask I wear

But I know
How it is
I was once there
Beware
Depression
Is addictive!

As I awake
Into another dream
Falling free
With broken wings
How many more
For the dread of wonder
How many more
I attempt to scream
I pinch myself
But feel nothing
But the sting
Of being stuck
In slumbering...

"I give" says the quitter
As she throws the ball away
A sigh comes from the one who cares
Cuz there's nothing left to say...

On bleeds the ***** dancer
For she seeks the serpent's kiss
To wash away these stains of time
Held clenched within her fist...

A stone tossed in life's battle
Had drawn her innocent blood
Silenced by the alpha's roar
The game of push and shove...

And so comes the blind one
Who shall led her to her fall
Into that pit, it seems so fit
It's the one that no one saw...

Only then does it come so clear
Don't fear those sticks and stones
It's the lies that consume us
When our hearts start to roam...

I sought an audience of my dreams
Wordless questions in silent themes
Until the chilly days finally warmed
I shed my cocoon of intent
And my plasticity conformed

In the blossoming spring my heart sings
Snow melts away from under my feet
I catching the pace of the permanent waves
Beyond the boundaries of the "finite slaves"
(Those unfortunate's awating the grave)

We all feel the changes being formed
How many more times must we be born?
I'll be taking my stand in this life span
From here to evermore!

It's an all together crash course
In knowing what to perceive
Crazy was a bit more vague
When I was in my teens
Sure, I recall
Deep throats liars
Cheating secrets
Underneath Bill's desks
But nothing quite as obvious
As being partnered
To a genocidal mess
....

I’ve said it before
I’ve written a billion rhymes
And for all my effort,
I never earned a single dime

We have always been
and we will always be
And I shall gladly worship
sometimes you but always me!

I apologize
If I seem removed
From certain subjects
That I find don't amuse

But it's on to the next
A safe choice you bet
Why should I stop to drool
It's not always about
   You know who...

Where do I go from here
My flame is burning low
As of the days of my addiction
And my suicidal soul
Wasted years blur together
Holding out for better weather
But this moment brought despair
The future seems so unclear
Love given but not received
Old wound, still it bleeds
How I long to be free
Free to be me
   Without you...

My life is full of
Ups and downs
I asked my girlfriend
To read my poems
She said that she didn't think so
Unfortunately
She has no poetic soul
Dry inside I die
All my living is but a lie
I seem to have traded
All that matters
For an easy loveless ride

Dear Poetess's
Please
Consider me
Together
Our poetry could
Simply be!

(Romanticized not derogatory)

A bard is a poet
But not all poets are bards
I love to sing
And play my guitar

Dancing comes natural
Spinning on one toe
I take a gracious bow
Into a power pose

I’m more then the rest
My poetry’s the best
I recite the hero’s creed
I lead the chant
In a warrior stance
Into the violent streets

The news of the day
Rolls off of my tongue
Stanzas dressed to please
To the local tavern
The patrons run
To drink and brawl with me

Barmaids to breed
Sweet honey mead
The good life
Yes the good life indeed!
I make a loud toast
A salute to our host
Another round on me!

Here again
Summer's end
The curses
The violence
The stress within
Lunar tides
Of restless souls
Giving in to
Their earthly roles

The subconscious
Longs for stimulation
Romance, adventure
And loving relation
Some crash and burn
But have no concern
   They just need to lower
   Their expectations...

I could see there was nothing left
It was over between us
Yet I must have sat there for years
Staring at the broken pieces
Void of thought and motionless
Disassociation can be
A peaceful place...

Two truths
Affecting the same dreams
Must be considered to be as one
Viewed in the same light
Inconclusive the evidence
Of a heart hidden in plain sight
Far from indifference
Words that speak
Like sharp points in an ear?
Who let all the angry poets
In here!

It hard to be patriotic
While most of our rulers are psychotic
All their crazy has no end
They lock up the poor
Whenever they can

I won't salute their blood stained flag
Nor bow to their angry gods
I'll take a knee with Kaepernick
Now that's a worthy cause!

The lesser evil can fight it out among their selves
Dark money and propaganda are proportionate of their wealth
Corporations of greed destroying our precious planet
A war machine that kills millions to survive
Shall we just take all this for granted?
Our one percent are out of control and underhanded

Standby for a wave of american immigrants
Coming to your shores
"cause it's getting hard to be patriotic anymore.

I'm not going to wait
For you anymore
I'm going to change the locks
On my back door
Push a needle in
Go for a ride
Got to escape
These feelings inside

All I do fades to grey
I can't hear a word
You say
I can't take it anymore
I CANNOT TOLERATE!

I’m not gona' be your fool
Wouldn't give a ****
What you do
Push a needle in
Cause I'm never afraid
I'm gona' make you GO AWAY!

How far and wide
Your many arms
Surround thy followers
Safe from harm
Onto you burns
The candle white
Pure and holy
Protector of life
The grim shall prevail
And all shall sleep
In their sacrifices
Of vanity...

I am a master
Of sloppy guitar
I’ve played the strip clubs
The gutters the bars

I’ve taken the licks
I brandished the scars
My fingers bleed
When I am on fire

Strange
these things
that feed our desires
The traveling shows
Is where I’ll Expire
....

A melody so familiar
I could not place
Heavy on my heart
A memory erased
Perhaps purposefully
Like a slap in the face
Do you really know pain
The kind that drains
It drains the light of day
I run from such pain
Dare it be ordained
Dare you use faith to explain
Really some were made monster
In the sight of the beholders
Why, for your benefit
Yet you haven't got a clue
What I've lived through
What my heart has felt
What my eyes have seen
Still I envy you
And your place in this universe

The depth eludes
The span intrigues
The presence or absence
Of a single human gene
The hand of chance
The toss of bones
A need to write
To ride, to roam
Extroverted instincts
Introverted scares
So many different
Combinations
Of who we are
No end to up
Nor absolute down
The rules of existence
Continue to confound
Protons and electrons
With neutrons we fire
Our vibrations fluctuating
Our hearts full of desires

In stages of growth
In philosophical minds  
In spiritual realms
We are merely
Vibrations in time...

I taught myself
To learn to bend
Upon pure logic
I would depend

But had I known
The end to come
What would I now
Have said and done

In contemplations
I spend my time
Reverse, replay
Rethink, realign

Here in my head
No one else
You see I've come
To trust mainly
Myself

So don't be shy
Go right in
Inside your mind
And back again

And bring with you
A piece of heart
Contemplative
Creative art
.......

A song was playing
In my head
When they came and
Took me away
It beats upon my bones
'Till this very day
But
I refuse to believe
I’m bad
No matter
What most people says

The prosecutor pointed
Till the end of days
The judge slammed
His gavel
And put my *** away
It never was completely over
As if the debt was never paid
Now I wear society’s
Mark of sinner Cain
.....

As he threw the silver at their feet
He could taste his bitter wicked deed
It festered in his immortal soul
His beliefs became his greatest foe

Be careful what you believe
Your soul is always free!

How long can we keep this going
Our leaders are bought and by the establishments stolen
We have no say, we lack the speech$$$
Our lack of money is what they seek
The status quo, evil on earth
Military Complex
Wall street
Big Pharma
The beast gives birth!

That's what I saw on the news
God help the earth!

When my words of love reverberate
over our world of contention
Please know, I’m not trying to trick ya
with fad, meme nor poetic inventions
No, that’s not my intention

I just want to let you know
I know we don’t always agree,
and even though…
I love you just the same!

Moving faster
Than perpetual motion
My awareness  jetlagged  
By cosmic gamma waves
Impure tainted toxic
Environments
A spirrowling array
Of wayward souls
Vibrating really low
Unfortunately

My witness
A sporadic blackhole
Blinking in and out of existence
My spirit a fragmented broken sky
A partial day and a long night


For tonight
I'll drink a beer
And live the lie
That this dream of life
Shall never die

+ t +
              Traveler

I long for
What's to be
Empty still I...
Hell
Let it bleed!
Don't know the words
"And in the end"
Like some Rolling Stone
Or Beatles
Or so many
Extensions
Life is just awesome
And I am indeed free
****
That joint I smoked
Must have cured
My Misery!

I am the circle
From beginning to end
I am the hearth fire
Burning within
There is no taming
The Poetical Mind
I am the words
You're hoping to find


Forces of nature
Connect you to I
I am the shadow
You dare to define

I am the magic
You felt in your youth
I am the poem
You left on the moon

Come home to me
Fall on my breast
I am the words
That you haven't said

So please don't hesitate
Your opus awaits
I am the door
That opens to fate
...

Her elements
I hold dear
In the hemispheres
Of my spirit

The sigh's of the mighty
The vision's of the wise
In the flowering of flesh
She bears her inside's

Aesthetic blooming
The pagan's daydream
Her creation bleeds forth
   Into spirals of inspiring streams

   There shall the artist reside...

100,000 children starved to death in two months. We need to intervene in all genocides. Sudan is the Gaza you haven’t heard about.

Those who peak
Above the clouds
With desertion
Clear and free

Observe the globe
Through rational eyes
And this you just might see

It's not the color of your skin
But a state of mind
That deserves
To live and breed...

Monsters
Bigger than life
Eternally reasoning
The profits of strife
Wars in the badlands
Guns on the streets
So many monsters
Roaming the world free

Cowards
Living in fear
Fighting the monsters
Year after year
On guard all the time
An eye stuck open at night
No sooner we walk
Then run for our life's

A cloud of unrest
Sets on our minds
Because monsters
And cowards
Are one of a kind
.................

Human!

A rain of wonder fell upon
A land of broken dreams
Left its rainbow bright and brilliant
As any dreamer's seen

No sooner did the dreams come true
The cloud returned to gray
And left me in this dream state
   Struggling to awake...

While running amuck
through life's despair's
I read the book of love
and you best beware's

Magic glories
  impossible feats
the breath of new life
enlightened me!

Sort of a firm footing
but more a stumble
my religious heart
caught the ball an fumbled

Sooner then later
We fall down again
Oh you can deny and you can pretend
But the book was corrupted
In the bitter end!

Now may you find God within!

And so it isn't easy
The hardened shadow
Thoughtless stare
That last breath of air
The brush of fate
Painting aimlessly
Across the canvas
Of our last prayer

I need relief
And so I write
Inside my head
It's far to bright
Too **** loud
The voices within
I drain my swamp
Through  keyboard
And pen

Upon the screen
The origins of strife
Worms in my psyche
Crawl into life
Into your mind
Festering thoughts
Ideologies
Where logic gets lost

Only to be replace
With the latest
Headlines
I drain when I can
To keep a clear mind
....

Life is short
You better believe
That in it's self
Is a tragedy
Take the time
Follow the sun
Make life worth
Let passion become

Run with me
Beyond the pines
Leave your heavy
Worlds behind
Don't get caught
In misery
Life is short
You better believe
..............

Colorful words and brilliant metaphors fill the canvas of our soul
Shadows become illuminated to where the heart can see its own reflection Exposing the immortality of our eternal awareness
The words of the timeless Witness shine forth in a breathtaking “Awe!”
And within that brief moment the true face of God is realized
Like a song that speaks to the innermost part of your being
A dream of such wonder that you struggle not to awaken from
This passion for expression, this emotional release
An ascent to heaven
A fall from grace.
All within a word...
