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..
Traveler 🧳 Tim

Fatherless
Traveler Dec 2020
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.

Epigenetic Reboot
Traveler Apr 2021
Don't hold out for recess
The daunting pressure builds
Pick up your mettlesome
Impose your loving will!

The target is your nature
Imprinted in your code
An epigenetic explanation
Is about to unfold

So get yourself together
You cyborg by default
Your appendages are contagious
Your inflammation is your fault

Still... we can do much better
Then waiting around to parish...

When I was a little boy
I fell for a young girl so promiscuous

She taught me a thing or two
I thought to be ridiculous

Looking back I clench my fist
It seems I was so **** naïve

I’ve never met a girl since then
   So open and eager to please...

Blessing
Traveler Mar 2021
The plants
Are conscious
Every tree, every ****
Every wildflowers and shrub
All share our power of love

So as you’re passing by unaware
Remember the plants know you’re there
Give them a nod, blessed be their days
And don’t ignore the blessings
Of our natural sun rays!

HEY YOU!
Traveler May 2018
Don't you have something better to do?
I mean come on now!
Really!
Another post?

I'm sure your floor needs sweeping
And
There's a pile of clothes at the end of your bed
Your under arms are a bit stinky
Brush your teeth and comb your head!

My goodness...
There's a forest growing
Where your lawn used to be!
And the oil light is on
In your 2003
Ya, time to get a new Jeep

This week's ***** dishes have grown green
The trashcan smells like rotten meat
The world stands still awaiting your care...
And here you are
Wasting away with me right here!

SMELL HER
Traveler Sep 2019
Can you smell her ***
As I shake your hand
I didn’t have time to wash
Her off my skin
Can you smell her ***
When you lean in
I seen you
Sniff your hand again
Sorry but I got to go
Her smell is in my nose
And I love her smell
As a Poet
I always kiss
  Then tell...

GIVING UP ON BELIEFS
Traveler Jun 2016
I've given up on science
I've given upon beliefs
I've given up on mankind
The earth's biggest thief

All your clout
All maxed out
I've given up without a doubt

I've given up on quitting
I've given up on the meek
I've given up my righteousness
I've given up on beliefs.
I've giving up on science trying to solve climate change alone.

RESIST?
Traveler Jul 2019
The funny thing
When she walked in
I glimpsed an average
Lady of my age
Well surely
A few years younger
Then my slave master
#1 Girlfriend! (abusive care taker)
Yet as I took this nice lady for a tour
Of our Dog friendly kennel
As she spoke
Her words touched
Like massaging hands
Her eyes shined
As they peered through my soul
With her heart exposed
Her heart a mirror reflection
Of what I forgot could exist
I wondered...
Why do I resist?
Traveler Tim
Just yesterday I met someone special
I've been a shut in this past year due to my memory lost....

2021 Farm Fest
Traveler Aug 2021
Out of the
wretchedness
of a superficial
social set
of decencies
Wrings out
an open hearted
family of hippies

Those of us
who remain
unrecognized
the ones deemed
the wishy-washy
    kind….

But…
annually my people
the creatives
get together
rockabilly, blues
folk, jazz and soul
tie dye and feathers
the goddess so loved
the grove this year
she showered us
in sweet summer’s
sunny starry weather

Arms open wide
as wide as our minds
wider then the sky
creatives
lovers of life
music magic
free of strife

Artist mirrors
a larger truth
allowing
the aesthetics
of all souls
to renew!

I sang my songs
and cast my spells
I basked in the love
that heals all hell!

I bid farewell
my closest kin
until our flames
shall gather again!

Unconscious slaves
Traveler Nov 2023
It’s moving ever faster now,
this reckless refusal til the end.
Still not a single choice is offered that stand a chance to win.

How on this did we agree?
We’ve been comfortably asleep in our greed.

We were but children when the programming set,
now unconscious slaves
on to our deaths.

SHADOWS PASSING
Traveler Sep 2017
Infinite parts of the whole
That can never absolutely know

Pulling away from the swarm

Carrying with you

What awaits you
In the shadows of passing
In the darkness of everlasting

GOD NEEDS ?
Traveler Dec 2020
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?

LIVING EULOGY
Traveler Dec 2018
My Dear Child
I realize you've pledged
To hate me forever
Engraved upon my heart
Our rope has been severed

But a man without his daughter
Is like a lame leg without a cane
I can feel your ill will towards me
As the cold creeps through my vanes

Perhaps your not my offspring
In this crazy world of chance
But I was still prepared
To be your one loving dad

Perhaps you'll never read this
And you may someday wonder why
Someone called the Traveler
Could never say goodbye

YOUR NOT ALONE
Traveler Nov 2017
Magic knows
No conclusion
Secrets are hidden
In the desperation
Of disillusion

Spiritual spikes
So excitedly
Are redefined
By every worldview
That has humankind

Every map
Drawn to dust
Every soul
Drawn to lust
Deciphered
To fit a spiritual need
A simple tourniquet
When the heart bleeds

In the oneness
Of the all
"Unknowing"
Faint is the light
The penal gland
Is glowing...

PENEAL GLAND
Traveler Apr 2017
I wasn't the only one
Perhaps you've seen it too
Or felt the vacuum void
Of life that's been
Consumed

Or even heard
The voices moan
Woven in time lapse
Without ever a warning
Compass or a map

Shadows gather
Black and grey
The place where
Entropy itself decays

Approaching  
The netherworld
My vision
Starts to fade
Have you ever
Caught a glimpse
Of what's
Beyond the grave?

LAST NIGHT
Traveler Sep 2019
In an empty state of being
I walked along alone
The small town streets
My girl bereft of me
Quietly I bled
At Ma and Pa's Country Store
I'm always greeted
With a smile
Cheap pint of ***
Lottery tickets
Then In she comes
Beautiful stranger
I've never seen before
My heart insist to explore
I start small talk at the door
I see her eyes are as bright as mine
Where are you going
I demand her time

She say:
Tim I'm going to my house
You've been there three times
You still have amnesia don't you?

Somewhere in the night
She disappeared...
I woke up home
In a state of fear

OH Hi!
Traveler Oct 2016
I get it now
Those were the hard realities
I could never understand
How you could be so cold

No please
I don't like hugs...

You were right
I wouldn't let go
Of all the loss
Oh what a load

But one day
I realized
I was either going to live
And be happy
Or **** myself


So I just shut it all off
My feeling's
Like a light switch

Ya I heard he died
I don't go to funerals...

If you ever catch
What mine eyes see

Don't build a wall
Or separate
And please

LIFE ON A POEM SIGHT
Traveler Oct 2017
Each of us
Merely players upon a page
Hidden beneath avatars
Our silly human ways

Limited by circuit
The passions of real life
Nobody is actually
Looking for a wife

Still we dream
And our passion flows
Reaching out
Our dreams
Utterly exposed

Silly humans
What do they know?

All these words
I say and throw
May they never
Hurt your soul...

DID IT WORK FOR YOU?
Traveler Oct 2014
Spoke to Jesus yesterday
To a loss of hope I am a slave
Did it work, was the magic true
Or like me, are you broken too

Brush with fate, now it’s too late
To prove my love to my soul mate
There was a time when I believed
That love like that could set us free

The curse of life is this evil half
Tried to cry but had to laugh
‘Cause it’s not so far from there to here
This mark of Cain I’m forced to wear

Half my secret I don’t dare to tell
Like in that dreams you just can’t yell
You awake to silence ashamed to know
Deep inside there’s a thought so low

I believed in a god who ruled by fear
But all those delusions have disappeared...

I need to be going now
That's what Travelers do
Stay long enough to break
And bend all the rules
Transmittal received
Please call home
Somewhere from beyond
The danger zone...

Here the shadows hide
In the stressful darkness of wandering thoughts
When ever I'm here and where ever I get lost
It's not my fault
That's what lovers do
  I never meant for this to happen

Sad for only a brief second

If I were a monster

A blood ******* vampire
Perhaps a hungry zombie
If I were but Frankenstein

More like Lizzie Borden

This monster within
In the basement
I would keep me
Locked in a cage
Writing my poetry
Alone in my rage

WORDLESS
Traveler Apr 2016
So many years ago, how the words would flow
Blood-red anger, peaceful blue skies
Staring star-struck teary eyes
Words of passion, words of pride
Vivid truths and far-out lies
Pain and pleasures, secret treasures
So many words beyond measure…

Yet here I sit with writer’s block
Listening as my demons mock
Where is my passion, where is my precision
Has it turned to dimness and indecision
How the words would flow
So many years ago…

A DAY IN THE MARKETPLACE
Traveler Jul 2023
Sweet eyes aglow
So kindly she smiles
My heart's been ridden
A million miles

In unison with time
The dust of day descends
Somewhere inside
We could all use a friend

In shadows of thought
Our psyche embraces
In the pulse of a smile
A glimpse of true faces

One last smile
Of pleasant farewell
So subtle the mind
As the heart is fulfilled...

THE UNFORGOTTEN
Traveler Nov 2016
By a breach of trust
A now lost soul
You can't get back
What the Devil stole

I long to right
The wrongs of time
To be forgiven
For my worst crime

Yet for every moment
Every memory stained
No matter how apologetic
The blemish remains

Forgiven but not forgotten
The injured heart still grieves
No matter how long you spend
  Down on your knees...

THAT NAIVE
Traveler Dec 2016
Do not assumed I can wait
This journey is always
Through the next gate
Oh it goes on
Unlike a dying storm
Life is the last to calm

Should we throw our hands in
Re-deal the stack of chance
It'd still be my lyrics
In an entirely different dance

Shall we play the cards forgotten
Or leave fate up our sleeves
The game is never over
Surely I'm that naive

Traveler Aug 2016
The breaking point where one snaps

The world seems so red out here

A freight train running through my head

I’ve been here before, beyond pain

Your wall is blocking me out

I can’t taste you anymore

My body is shaking violently

Hyperventilation is keeping me

From crying out

“Please don’t go”
Then I wake up and it's not so bad..

My love has no limits

My soul is silent
It hardly makes a peep
It is out there in the shadows
With the darkness that it keeps

Forward motion
This inertia of time
One more gravity field
Holding me inside

Touch and go
My emotional flow
I look to the stars
To find my way home

You wonder why
I look to the sky
There's something
Way more beautiful
   On the other side...

So I decided to move onward
And wrote my final letter

I’ll be here with arms wide open

The pain is only temporary
So never fear the sting

She was one of the
Mountain Raven People
Who ruled the days of old
Messengers of the spirit realm
Who had taken corporeal form
And bound themselves to the
Laws of our natural world
These beautiful beings lived
High upon the mountain where
No human being had ever climbed
Humans worshipped them and
Called them gods
She's always been with me
She has always been mine
In and out of time, every time
I live she lives with me
There can be no end to us…
A recurring dream...

And quickly swallow?

So they still live in the darkness
Continually producing oxygen

That survive the Ice Age
Brought about this new world order
And together we thrive
On gods green earth
