REFLECTED

Traveler Apr 2016

The realization
Of the gods
Is the limitation
Of humanity
Reflected in the frustration
Of ones heart
Truly we need not be
Worlds apart...

HOCUS POCUS

Traveler Jul 2017

HOCUS POCUS

A deeper inquiry
Is a priority
To catch
And identify
The complexities
   Of our reality...

Pay attention
To the nuances
Perhaps keep a tally
Apples and oranges
Are far from
    Jams and jellies...

Narrow views
Are often
Ordinary
Surely
We are more
   Than extraordinary ...

Try to keep
In mind
There must
Be more
To all this
Hocus Pocus
Then simply
What's literately
In our focus
...

12 bar blues

Traveler Aug 2021

12 bar blues

Twelve bars
is barely enough
for my blues!
I’m forced to add
a measure or two..

Traveler 🧳

Jimi Hendrix
Red House

1]
There's a red house over yonder
That's where my baby stays
Lord, there's a red house over yonder
Lord, that's where my baby stays
I ain't been home to see my baby
In ninety nine and one half days

[Verse 2]
Wait a minute, something's wrong here
The key won't unlock this door
Wait a minute, something's wrong
Lord have mercy, this key won't unlock this door
Somethings goin' on here
I have a bad, bad feeling
That my baby don't live here no more
(That's alright I still got my guitar, look out now!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well I might as well go on over yonder
Way back up on the hill
(I got something to do)
Lord, I might as well go back over yonder
Way back yonder 'cross the hill
'Cause if my baby don't love me no more
I know her sister will!

DEAR JUDAS

Traveler Sep 2019

DEAR JUDAS

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...

POETRY MAGIC

Traveler Oct 2017

POETRY MAGIC

I cannot explain
The presence of magic
With mere mortal words
Or even prove it's eternal existence
Without sounding quite absurd

Ancient secrets lay benign
Within the Poet's rhymes
There lies the powers
Of love and hate sublime

In a slight of hand the eyes react
Under written messages
Slip through the cracks
Suddenly we're caught up in
A spinning spiritual trance
Raised arms
Voicing strange hypnotic chants
We dance through the gardens
Of lost hopes, mingled with romance
And we're never coming back!

WAKE UP AND DO SOME LIVING

Traveler Jun 2017

WAKE UP AND DO SOME LIVING

Why shout out to the mountain
It's time to fall on me
The sky keeps turning darker
So why pretend to see …

Love so often cast
Like pearls to the swine
The dog returns to his *****
He calls it holy wine …

There’s a new day on the horizon
As our lungs gasp for air
Existence remains unsolvable
Yet on these fables so many swear

Eternity holds no definites
The equation six feet deeper
Wake up and do some living
Or be an eternal sleeper

Blemishless

Traveler Sep 2020

Blemishless

You have one of the most beautiful soul I have ever come across.
Not a single blemish on your body could represent your eternal self.
With eyes that see through, I look upon the beauty of your eternal youth.
See what you may of my surface and wonder of my underneath,
I am but the spring of passions and countless quantum leaps.

Traveler Tim

Blimishless is a new word somewhere
Right?

THE ESTABLISHMENT

Traveler May 2018

THE ESTABLISHMENT

At all times
I'm forced to hold it
In the front of my mind
The fact that
I am separate from them...

The war mongering neocons
Wall-Street, Big Pharma
The Military Industrial Complex
The Establishment of our two social parties
Mutated into an ugly
Form of legal corruption
Sanctioned by our own
Supreme Court's ignorance

It's time to take the power back!
The Constitution
(It's not just about guns)
When will we stop voting
For the same old choice
"The Establishment"

Traveler Tim
Slingshot, burning tires
Kites.... Really?
Murdering innocent people
With our money
in our name
Hell no
I am separate from the them!

As he threw the silver at their feet

20/20 Sight

Traveler May 28

20/20 Sight

I seen God
and then that’s all I could see!
Fun he’s having indeed
Pretending that he’s suffering
Pretending that he’s poor
Pretending that he needs a state of peace and war
And so we rest upon our thrown
And dream until we turn to stone

LUCK OF THE DRAW

Traveler Sep 2016

LUCK OF THE DRAW

What were you believing
A mere five years ago
Have you moved on from there
Or did it soothe your soul?

Perhaps it makes more difference
Than anyone would care to know
   But it seems the human mind
Was designed to grow...

Surely the test of life awaits
Beyond this world a deferral fate
Into an abyss of eternal bliss
   If you make some sort of list...

Thanks to the
Luck of the draw
Forty six and 2
  This is something
I already clawed through..

Life can get quite messy
As lovers weave their webs

NURTURERS

Traveler Jul 2017

NURTURERS

Timelessly
Transcendent
These states of passion
A brief encounter
A natural reaction
Emotional chemicals
No ones to blame
Hard hot wiring
Shot down in flames

When I was still young
And unwilling to fall
You were but naive
Behind subdivided walls
Hidden from your passion
By overbearing arms
Believe me when I tell you
I would never do you harm

Constraints?

Traveler Jul 29

Constraints?

Your beliefs have placed you in a particular position. Think about it!
That’s why my beliefs are open ended.
The intentions of this simulation puzzle me, still my portion of the matrix is full of purpose. I proceed with caution and enjoy the experience.

ALL WE NEED

Traveler Nov 2017

ALL WE NEED

In the passing
Of innocence
As the operations
Of knowing engaged
A part of her was lost
To that brittle stage...
Through her eyes
I could blindly see
How to set
Her trust at ease
....
In playgrounds
Of callused fools
Desensitized
To moral rules
I find myself
Easily pleased
'Cause all we have
Is all we need

GIVING IN TO NEW WAYS

Traveler Dec 2013

GIVING IN TO NEW WAYS

I wore the mark of Cain
Like a stain upon my soul
How I dreaded to return
To my former family role

Trust is but the air we breathe
Betrayal a choke in our lies
Days I have prayed to be forgiven
More often I had prayed to die

Now I prefer to ride the winds of change
With a guitar upon my knee
Giving in to new ways
I have no time for grief...

MASTERS

Traveler Jun 2016

MASTERS

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...

In Madness Lies Sanity

Traveler Nov 2020

In Madness Lies Sanity

I give my love
To get it back
Oh what ethics
My morals lack

In a war against apathy
Empathy is rampart

The walls of paradise
Blackout the sun

Without the shadow
There cannot be the substance

What madness this all is!
This ridiculous order of chaos

EXTENDED BREATH

Traveler Mar 2019

EXTENDED BREATH

What was it
That finally broke my soul?
Perhaps I was suppose to die
Many years ago
I made amends
To set thing right
But it seemed that was just
A wasted flight
Somehow I'm still alive
Suffering as I survive
I have no words
Left to say
No warnings
To convey
Believe as you may
I wasn't suppose to write
These words today
Instead I should be sleeping
In a younger me's grave....

EXISTENTIAL DOUBTS

Traveler May 2018

EXISTENTIAL DOUBTS

After exploring
Many alternate routes
With an ambitions to alleviate
All my existential doubts
The questions in the deeper depths
Beyond the endless spans...
I'm afraid it appears
We've all been tricked
Or somehow even ******
To a state of uncertainties
Where we temporally survive
And think the distant darkness
That by some chance we're still alive....

LESSONS LEARNED

If you've never
Been as far
Thank your
Blessed or
Lucky stars
That you
Don't know
How it feels
To face the darkness
That consumes
At will
To take the devil
By his horns
To crown
Your lust
With prickly thorns
To hold the fire
Embrace the burn
To hide the scares
Of lessons learned

SLOWLY THOUGH

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

Oh Invisible

Traveler Jan 20

Oh Invisible

Oh invisible entity
My heart glows dear
Muse of my deepest darkness
Music in my excitable ear…

You took my weary
and weave it truth
You woke me from
a programmed youth

It’s never over
until it’s begun
I am the singer
You are my drum!

This peaceful existence
Outside of wars
Shall we live a thousand
Perhaps a million more!

It’s been an interesting trip so far..

SELF PERSPECTIVE

How many times
Did you fall down
Before you learn
To walk away
How many times
Did you fall in love
How many hearts
Did you break

How many loved ones
Have you let down
How many promises
Did you forsake
How many more
Lives will you touch
With the selfish
Battles you wage?

WHICH ONE AM I

We embrace evil
Be ****** oh fools
Eyes forget to blink
Shadows rule
Out of our way
This path is strong
Feels so right
Embracing wrong

Which one am I
That deserves to burn
Who are we
Who never learn
Wicked winds
In darkened skies
Evil thrives
Which one am I

Anti Politic’s

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

ON THE DOWN

So many years pass before my eyes
Love lost, humiliations
All these wounds I must hide

A constant flow of tragedies
Have formed this fool within
And those I long to be near
Will never be again

Time is but a wave
Which wears the surface smooth
All the footprints get blown away
With those dreams of me and you...

THE CLIMB

Traveler Jun 2017

THE CLIMB

On the edge of consciousness
Were slumbering creeps
I climb out the tunnel
Up from a deep sleep

Layers of unrest
Madness and fears
On the outskirts of bad dreams
And all my nightmares

A flash in gray matter
The heart starts to race
Thoughts try to trap me
In fits of dream rage

When my eyes finally open
I shake it all off
Pushing back into forgetfulness
All the battles I've lost

Fatherless

Traveler Dec 2020

Fatherless

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?

Traveler Tim

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.

What is your
Greatest desire?

Your unbridled plea

Anything you want

Or while you sleep

Mine to keep

Beyond despair
In to a world
Of whips and chains

Rule beneath
Emerged in the passion
Of your most wicked beliefs...

DESPAIRING

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...

An Invitation To Happiness

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!

What’s already been said
Thousands of poems
Have been wrote and read

Our love would last forever
And ever never ends
If we could get together
We’d all be bound to win

Flames Of love

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

GOD NEEDS ?

Traveler Dec 2020

GOD NEEDS ?

What does God need?
Surely I’m thankful for all I have
Perhaps God needs our obedience
A 10th of all our cash
But what would God
do with all of that?

Does he own our minds and souls
The worldly knowledge that we hold
Does he want his blue skies back
Another big bang it all turns black

God what could you possibly want
A leap of faith into your swamp
Of
People suffering
Battles Cries
Searching for truth in piles of lies
Trust in the invisible
Trust in man
Numbered with the grains of sand
But here I stand
Alone in my folly
Wondering why
What’s up with this God guy?

LOVELESS POEM II

Traveler May 2017

LOVELESS POEM II

Love is like a hill
I can't seem to climb
My heart falls down
Almost every time

Love is like a dream
One you can't disrupt
Love can be a nightmare
If you just give up

Love is like an arrow
Pierced through your soul
If you pull it out
Love will leaves a hole

Love is like a cancer
From black to blue and back
Love can be a cure
But the deck is surely stacked
...
