And ignore
My fears

As worlds

Sub Poetic Particles
Traveler Apr 2017
The poetic mind
Can only be studied
In an observational
Capacity

Any attempt
Of measurement
Would surely
Effect the out come
Resulting in a chaotic
Reaction

It appears
Sub poetic particles
Prefer to remain
Unobserved
In their natural order

Not Another Book
Traveler Jun 2024
I don’t pretend to be a writer
I am not hidden behind my words
I can’t complicate my expressions
I won’t embrace my lower fears

I will not be writing a book
only a handful of songs
Life is full of beautiful music
I invite you to sing along!

SLOWLY THOUGH
Traveler Apr 2018
A Long,
Long time ago
When I was raring
And eager to go...
I took it every way
But slow...

But now it's later
And I'm feeling rather high
Actually, I would slowly
Like to rock you
Into to my sky

Reaction fulfill
Performance and thrills
Selfishly given in flight
There's no hurry
Perhaps a flurry
I'll be driving tonight

And therefore
You shall be deemed
One of those
Of that wicked team
Suffer now forevermore
Inscribed upon
The Devil's door
Your wicked deeds
Your demon bites
You dare to hide
Your wicked light...

But Uncle Tim

Then I realize
My attention gets
Fragmented

Paralyzed
From the implicit
Yet more then obvious
Genocide

CNN
Clever Fox
Propaganda
Hides a lot
They back the burglars
Celebrate the thief’s
Manufacture consent
Without relief
Without regret
Same as MSNBC

THINKING DOUBLE
Traveler Sep 2019
Hello
This phone call may sound
A little on the strange side
Please bare with me
As I attempt to convey
A sort of phenomenon

Tim was angry with me
When he realize you called
And I just couldn't answer
So I must apologize
For my action
Tim has forgotten
How you turned your back on him
And left him to rot in prison
But then again
I'm not him right now
And I remember

FOX HOLE SPEECH
Traveler Aug 2016
Onto a new day rising
In the eyes of the gods
Who lay their grace
Upon the downtrodden
Let mercy not be forgotten

In the golden heart
That holds forever
Cast into a stellar wind
And set a sail
The light that travels
Between our worlds
Be mindful of our paths
   In all directions...

TO YOU AND I
Traveler Mar 2017
Never fall
In love again
                       Embrace the tears                    
And hold'em in

The empty life
That longs to live
The heart of gold
That longs to give

In coffin madness
Buried alive
Embrace your fate
And don't ask why

Why does love
Sometimes die
What ever happen
To you and I

An Invitation To Happiness
Traveler Apr 2021
Within the embrace of love and grace
When breath and heart do merge
The genetic codes of God engage
A disenchanted spirit is purge

Heaven awaits your awaking
From this slumbering dream of chance
Life has so much more to offer
So when you hear the music play
Please... take some time to dance!


And so…
I composed your invitation
Within a rhyme of poetry
You're already halfway there
If you’re healthy and you’re free!

DESPAIRING
Traveler Aug 2014
I grow old waiting and all I can do is dream
Of all the beautiful things only love can bring
Trapped in this outer limit, suspended from life
Stuck in this lucid coma I call out to my wife

But she never seemed to hear or even care
The memory of her touch has long since disappeared
And my daughter, whom above all I have wronged
Becomes the theme of my saddest poems and songs

There are so many reasons for this heart’s demise
All of the broken pieces I try to hide
All of these regrets are a thorn in my pride
All stuffed way down deep inside...

Flames Of love
Traveler Dec 2019
My love is non-narcotic
I need something stronger
Kinda' like *******
Opiates when I wrong her

My love is but a fire
That burns me at both ends
Her love is high grade fuel
Burning hot with sin

A yawning neon moon
Whispers to a waking earth
The flames of love burn hot
Still entropy is our curse

Perhaps I'd fade
From myself run
Giving no excuse
Of what
I've done
Roadblocks
Distorted mind
Hope gets lost
In design
I wait
I wish
But can't seem
To bury

These parts
Float aloft
Perhaps

UNTIL THEN MY FRIEND
Traveler Oct 2014
Firmly established in dreamy splendor
Our streets dissipate in recap blender
These faded faces remain as gold
Springing forth with renewed soul

Can you feel my heart go thump
Within my throat I bear a lump
Of you and I when time stood still
Protruding wounds you helped to heal

Now good time - laughter echoes pass
A bridge of friendship fills the gap
Of worlds we charter by spirit will
To taste anew these cosmic meals

And so I bid you well my friend
May magic stand, reality bend...

VICTORY POEM
Traveler Jun 2018
There’s many ways to say
What’s already been said
Thousands of poems
Have been wrote and read
Still I would be your brother
Or I could be your dad
I would be the best friend
You have ever had
Our love would last forever
And ever never ends
If we could get together
We’d all be bound to win

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE
Traveler Nov 2016
It's so hard to say goodbye
Hearts get broken
Tears get cried
It's been that way a billion years
There's just no way
To stop those tears

I'm so tired of letting go
Of all the dreams
We'll never know
I wonder why the hurt lasts so long
It's been years
Since you've been gone

It's not so easy to find new love
That special someone
That fits you like a glove
I guess my heart just won't be tamed
It always pours
Whenever it rains

It feels so good when things are fine
Two people treating
Each other so kind
Drawn like moths into a burning flame
A billion years
   And nothing ever changed...

MASTERS
Traveler Jun 2016
Even the masters
Shall suffer with the rest
It's the dysfunction
Of reality
It's the evolutionary catch

I try not to be at a loss
When the words get stuck
In my brain
But it's hard to think of one
As a master when
So much dysfunction remains

Over many trials and errors
I have managed to change
   My unwanted reactions

Allowing for
The thankfulness of life
To fill my heart
With satisfaction

Is there anything more
That needs to be achieved
Perhaps a master
Must learn how to grieve
Or learn how to face
The demons of youth
And thereby admit
Their deepest dark truths

We all have our reasons
We all have are drags
'Cause real masters
  Were raised by bearded hags...

GOING DOWN
Traveler Jul 2019
I get it
I'm broken inside
Most of me would like to die...

Impair my sight

I'm but a burden
That needs to go!

BEHIND REASON
Traveler Nov 2016
Behind reason
Fear resides
Under an illusion of control
We walk tall into nights

Where entropy awaits
The ashes of stars
I fear a new existence
Means less than we are

And so here I try to imagine
What more there could be
In the end of all I know
Fear resides within me...

DEAR JUDAS
Traveler Sep 2019
Dear Judas
I forgave you
So why are you
Still doing time
How could we just
Sacrifice you
With out our souls
Going blind

The coins you threw
Back at their feet
Was repentance
Enough for me
You did your time
So please move on
Go now
And live your life free!

And pray
The hypocrite
Do the same for me!

Signed...

OLD MAN WINTER
Traveler Jan 2018
Again he came and froze the world
His eyes as white as snow
Stubbornly refusing to leave
His frost at zeros below

No wisdom does he offer
Under his frozen tundra Breath
Blowing and wailing  
'Til not a sign of life is left

Our muses all have gathered
On a tropic island beach
Even magic while he's here
Is simply out of reach

Thawing on my alter
A poem of warmer days
I shall keep a fire lit
'Til he is on his way

DEALS
Traveler May 2018
Hell hounds
The buying of souls
I once met the Devil
Down at the cross roads
Deals were struck
In poetic prose
I rhymed myself
In to Hell's hold

And now whips of flames
Await my last breath
Mere songs and word
The demons all laugh
Eternal flesh laid to waste
Beware
The Devil wears
   A friendly face...

If I were as convincing
As true love on display
I'd speak without merit
As loud as I may

But...
I'm but a whisper
A voice in the dark
Speaking directly
To subconscious parts

Disturbed and forgotten
These thoughts left alone
I am the whisper
That comforts you soul

And if you believe
The whisperer's rhymes
You too shall travel
Beyond your own mind

THE PARABLE OF MISERY
Traveler Oct 2016
Rabid dog attempts to bite
Rodent wakes me in the night
Pain lays dormant in my veins
Too much living leaves a stain
Bottomless, this pit in which I fall
Shadows crawl upon my walls
I was whole, now I'm half
The sands of time are falling fast

Oh but if I were young again
In a time before that knew no end
And you were there with eyes still blue
In flames of magic we once knew
To burn forever in passion's bliss
To embrace the eternal one last kiss
How could love have fallen behind
Replaced with feeble forgotten mind

Now this rabid hound latches on
To a night that's lasted far too long
My blanket has worn ever so thin
A chill of forgotten regretful wind
Blown cold into my restless dreams
Oh what misery life can bring ...

I need to tell you a little something...
Evolution is an illusion
And time and space

And we are but programs
Deep within the mainframe
Of a super computer
Capable of extreme pain
And absolute bliss...

Thank you for listening!

Traveler Mar 2022
I don’t hate the nazis
nor their innocent children
I insist to confess..
And...
If you were led astray
I’d love you none the less!

I wouldn't want to see
a single Ukrainian nor Russian fall..
I hold no socially planted belief about the Chinese
I’m not afraid to love us all!

Look through my eyes
and see the world with love
Separation and hate
we can surely rise above!!!
To be consumed by hate is to be consumed by one's own inherit evil nature

The Art Of Reading Poets
Traveler Feb 10
For some of us
abstractions
can flow too far apart
to gather together
Still we navigate
through poems caught
in stormy weather
Then there those
whose desires gets tossed
into a word salad
of creative thought
Pour on some dressing
romantically obscure
express your victim hood
your poetical fears!
Page after page
line after line
recording
the history of
the Poet kind!

Memory
Isn’t all it’s cracked up to be
Just think if you could forget
Everything that has ever
Made you grieve
Wouldn’t you want to be free
But what if you forgot
Something you did wrong
But in the sound of her voice
The pain still lives on
Would you want to know
Oh please let it die
All I want to know is
Can I have another try

LOTTERY OF CRAZY
Traveler Nov 2017
Can any part of life
Be larger then life
We are clearly limited
By the fires of our own soul's
Burning at their hottest
In passion's driven glow

Can anything bigger
Actually be shown
Death, suffering
Blood shed at home
Is any killer
Worth more than their cause
The tears of love
Have little time to pause
As the lottery of crazy
Extends it's odds
To a place near you
Your home and job...

BY THE WAYSIDE
Traveler Sep 2019
I remember now
It seems like it...
Was just like yesterday
They shut me in..
Into this endless maze
They locked a door
Suddenly there was me!
My heart is older now
  Still longing to be free...

I am with you at
Every single turn
Set a fire and
Set and watch it burn
Someone to see you through
Until the darkness settles
Share in my deep
Raging passion
For death fracking metal
Amen!!

True! I do like a bit of the hard stuff!

The Grandest Illusion
Traveler Nov 2024
Be not trapped between
the great illusions.
Your fear will drive you
to righteous solutions.

Our spirit is above our gender.
Above the ethnicity our souls render.
A dream of type enslaves the mind,
a dream of fear and hate,
we must decline.

The spinning wheel of madness
is spinning out of control..
Believe the lies play your role.
Or..
Learn not to hate and your love will grow.
That's the only spiritual practice we really need to know.
Traveler Tim

Don't take things personal and don't assume things.
People do things because that's who they are, not because they are trying to harm you.

It is a struggle
trying to spread this light.
Win or lose
I shall stand and fight.
Causation come
from the spirits realm,
to touch the sky
we often fail.
We can reach for limits
of human birth
or spread our wings
for all we’re worth.
I do the latter
with my heart on fire.
Cause I am the road
and not the tire.

LET IT BLEED
Traveler Feb 2016
Within a subliminal realm
The subtlety of words compel
A shove to the left and sometimes right
Words can calm our urge to fight

When we refuse
To let it bleed..

How slippery they slide
All around the U.S.

Turn on your body camera
And get in line...
With all due respect
If you're covering up for your cause, you're a mobster.

DRAFTY
Traveler Mar 17
Oh blind me now
To the ways of sin
So that I may hide
Myself within
Rip it out
This heart of lust
Take away
My conditional trust
Deafen my senses
To unaware
Cage my guilt
In the dungeons
Of despair

Take away all I've sown
Place a limit on my cares
But you better close the door
Because there's a draft in here
A wind of change
That longs to blow
Into your life
To fill your soul
With the words of peace
Of tolerance that's fair
Allow us to breathe
  A little more fresh air..

I can’t seem to show them
The things they can’t seem to see
My Fathering reputation at stake
Few were the tricks up my sleeves

Listen now my children
Take heed the words of love
Put on your thinking caps
Take off your boxing gloves

Open sesame oh heart I plead!
A solution has to be...
Teach them how to break them down
Their walls of misery

Oh Father how have you forsaken me?

Juthro Tull  "Thick As A Brick"

Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
My words but a whisper, your deafness a SHOUT.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
Your *****'s in the gutter, your love's in the sink.

So you ride yourselves over the fields and
you make all your animal deals and
your wise men don't know how it feels
to be thick as a brick.

And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
In the tidal destruction the moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way.
