Resistance Is Futile
Traveler Aug 2020
Why change ways now
Let the devil take a bow

Like when we were young
Getting high and having fun

Scrub the paradigm shift
All this foolishness is bliss
Perhaps
A one-way road to the abyss

Don’t concern yourself with bigger things
Being right is preordained
After all
The Mountain is going to catch you
When you fall
Just stand tall

It’s them or someone else
Your victim knows it well
Come and join the party
Propaganda sales

The stock markets doing great Wall Street is having a feast
Pay no attention to the millions in the street
.............
Voting blue will not save you
Voting blue will not save you
Voting blue will not save you
Resistance is futile

PREPARATION
Traveler Oct 2017
Here, in the far north
It's time to plan for snow
What ever is left on bare ground
For the season will be froze
The birds of fowl
Within their coops
No longer to be noticed
'Til the nights of long
Have come and gone
On the flip side of the Solis

In a darken state
Of the Poetic mind

Abilities are frozen
To reason and rhyme

Frostbitten thoughts
Creeping sublime

Oh how we'll long
For sweet spring
Sunshine

REMEMBRANCE
Traveler Aug 2014
Fascinating how we can live
Holding on tightly to the past
If our memories serve us well
Perhaps it profits us to make them last

Memories of love and laughter
Some of tragedies and fear
All collected by our senses
The things we see, feel and hear

Driven by a common motivation
We seek relationships unending
The love of parents for their children
Is far beyond comprehending

And so the joy we share today
Shall I keep forevermore
All the memories I have of you
Are the ones I most adore...

THE LOOKING
Traveler May 2017
Looking without
You can finally feel
Set in judgment
Forget what's real
Take notes of
Several possibilities
Looking without
You'll never be free

Looking within
The traveling soul
I lost my worry
Forgive my foe
Embraced my demons
In changes of love
Looking within
You'll never give up

WAYS
Traveler Nov 2018
You can tell 'em that I was crazy
But I was just a harmless nut
My pathways are all corrupted

Committed to survival
White knuckled through this maze
Holding on can get really tough
When a Traveler tries to stay

LIFE NEVER DIES

life’s jagged ledge
I lost hold and fell

THE TIGHTEST BANDAGES
Traveler Jan 2019
Why would anybody
Actually
Gives a ****
About the misfiring
Neurons
Within some worn out
Poetic man?

So if you are...
Struggling to be normal
Striving to be sane
Remember
The tightest bandages
Tighten tight
Still life
Slowly drains

So loosen up
Let your words
Pour down
In poetical rain!

CHASING THE RUSH
Traveler Jun 2018
We all have our reasons
As we come and then go
Living life's lessons
Learning new roles
Not enough time
To experience it all
Life is a game
Love is the ball

There's a beacon Shining
From the poet's soul
Illuminating beauty
Every where it goes
Here we gather
And share what we are
Lesions on heartstrings
Immortal scars

Givers and takers
Losers and thefts
Chasing the rush
The creative release!

Note 57.1:DISTRACTIONS
Traveler Mar 2020
I've had enough
of all these living
breathing distractions
fused to my synaptic reactions
reminding me that I am but one
the leash of realization weighs a ton
in harmonicas hormonal perfection
it's easy to lose an election
It's a beautiful day
I never want it to end
but I lose my balance
when the distractions set in

LAZY DANCER #3
Traveler Jan 2018
Forgive me
My friends
For running behind
All this poetry
Gets blurred
In my mind
The stories
I buy, beg
Borrow and sell
Heaven bound
  Enchanted
The trickery of spells  
Mesmerizing
And captivating
As if time stands still
I'll try to catch up
    After I chill...

Climber
Traveler Sep 2021
I sorely perceived
my past miss deeds
unsteadily I crawled
up off of bent knees
the road was hard
gravity strong
pulling me down
where I believed
I belonged

addictions still lingers
truth’s a higher place
living the victim role
is a detour to grace
the shadow of death
beckon the weak
life is to treacherous
go back to sleep

I’ve come to far
to throw in the towel
I’ll get this right
and help you tomorrow!

OUR SPIRITS
Traveler Dec 2020
I can’t take hate personally
For those who hate
Evolution came late
A mere push or shove
Cannot discourage true love

Behind walls
Difference is contained
Where privilege and pleasure
Allows for no pain

I dream in the clouds
I exist in the rain
Our spirits
Are exactly the same!

AI Verses My Muse
Traveler May 9
AI is the limitation’s of the lost.
Those trying to create a poem at any cost.
Files and files of poetic info to chose from but all that stuff has all been done!
Recreated to fit your form, smoke and mirrors of a storm.
But a true poet knows,
the muse and the memes are connected to the soul!

The worms and vultures will have at the dead, let’s all hide from our fears!
Leave these politicians to fester and rot

I once was a Bernie bro when he was
Ralph Nader

I am no longer a liberal nut
Nor a right wing hater

WHY DO THEY SHOOT?
Traveler Mar 2018
How do we change
Societal's day
When a sloppy hug
Well... seems a bit gay
Could it be as simple
As a smile or a wave?
How do we change
What will it take...

Perhaps
A kind word with eye contact
Let the little things go
Quickly forgive a mistake
Now you're on a role...
Calmly relax
Think the little thing through
The reality is
It's not just our's
This world is their's too

Take a deep breath
And know in your soul
Every out burst, every bit of road rage
Adds to the whole

We all play a roll...

NO RETURN
Traveler Sep 2016
Do we cross a point of no return
Do we step beyond to live and learn
If evil’s tempted by all that’s good
Perhaps the scheme is misunderstood
Our demons fights for love within
It’s a consuming flame that never ends

POETS PATH
Traveler Sep 2019
In the waist lands
Of wandering hearts
Love is lost
In unseen art
Unread poetry
Unfinished
****** of parts
Overgrown gardens
Meditate by
Statues of children
  That never die...
Tilted birdbaths
List in once mind
I never meant
To leave you behind
Another piece
Of mine
Guitars need new strings
The dusty shelf
Once an amp
Aching bones
Worn out mat
Yet still
A poet walks
  A poetic path!

Wide Worldview
Traveler Oct 2020
See through my eyes
Beyond ethnic ends
Concentrated empathy
Through camera lens

Good dreams I’ve lived
In darkness of soul

This is the only world I know!

RELIGIOUS SOULS
Traveler Sep 2017
My heart goes out
To the blind of soul
Trapped within
The religious roles
Closed in mind
Barricaded in heart
Rampart to keep
The worlds apart

Come with me
Travel within
The innocent
Child's mind
Your god condemned
No matter what you say
You just can't win
Doing nothing
Is the greatest sin!

Rats Of A Kind
Traveler Oct 2020
A couple of rats laughing
In the height of rodent prime
Just inside the walls
In the panelling confines

Sour milk and cheese
The sent of rotten meat
It’s freezing in the alley
Behind the trash pile heaps

Dwellings made of boxes
House the forgotten meek
Closed face and forbidden
As we pass them on the streets

A polite yet impaired man
Stays deep in the forest down the road
I gave him a ride from his tent
In the woods to the store
Behind his eyes he was broken
As he spoke of happy things
He asked me to come back and join him
But I had to run away
Traveler Tim

It’s true
rats laugh proven and a science lab.

I Q UNTESTED
Traveler Jan 2021
So you claim you're highly
"intelligent"
In which category would that be?
There's "cognitive" and "emotive" intelligents,
I'm sure your in the driver seat!

Or perhaps your
crystallise intel
is crystallised
Somewhere
Between heaven and hell
We can be
Influentials when fluency dwells


Surely
"Kinaesthetics" is poetical flow
This intelligence come and goes.

But obviously "linguistic"
is our intellectual clutch
Along with high "aesthetics"
But you may still be out to lunch!
Because
"Spiritual" intelligence
can leave us drunk!

"Interpersonally" where are you
That and "artistical" intelligence rules!

"Spatially" we navigate
this "mathematical" understanding
of our universe.

No one possess all
11 intelligents I have mention
So if you believe your above
You've pathologically decended!
Traveler Tim

Part of the lecture I give to a think tank society in my area

Humans have up to a dozen intelligence
Some of yours are higher then mine!

DEAR BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN
Traveler Oct 2019
Dear Julie
How do I convey
My heart dances
In child's play

Are you young?
Are you old?
Are you warm
Or fat and cold?

Where do you live?
Besides in my heart
You are an invisible
Beautiful art

I'm not looking for ***
I'm not trying to own
It's just my heart
Exist here alone

Dear sweet poetess
I need not know
In my heart
You're all ready home

SAVE THE LOVE
Traveler May 2017
Sometimes dreams
Actually come true
The world at your feet
Fresh and brand new

Sometimes you win
Just before you lose
The process of love
The first time through

Sometimes you take
More than they got
Nobody warned you
And now you have not

Sometimes you need
To give it away
Just think of all
The love you could save

TORCHES
Traveler Oct 2017
Larger than life
The paths we make
The voices we follow
The positions we take

Politics and religion
Impact our minds
Poetic prisons
Hearts on the line

Coming and going
Haunting like ghosts
So many issues
We dare to approach

Each of us
A means to an end
Blinding lights
Burning dim

On into tomorrow
These torches we pass
Surely these fires
Were not meant to last...

TAKE A DEITY ON A DATE
Traveler Jun 2017
If you happen to meet
The Buddha
On the side of the road
Please hold off from kicking his ***!
It could be just me coming back from yoga
Sporting my new toga walking fast
I've been working on this gut
I really need to get laid
Take a deity on a date!
Traveler Tim
It gets lonely in these caves
Traveler Aug 2017
Pry not the third eye open
In desperation of your wits
Hold not your answers in solitude
  Surely that's not being hip...
Share your wisdom
Long before we all get somehow lost
But mostly be yourself
  It doesn't matter what we thought..
Try not to be rude, yet
Hide not your point of view
Knowing many eyes
Are watching what you do!

Simplicity is best
when applying demand for speed
understanding all the important words
and just what the listener's, need
caring for the multitudes
be they little and/or small
answering the greater questions
not just for one, but all!

THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
Traveler May 2014
I cursed the devil to please my god
Such pleasure is merely a carnal facade
Behind my heart true evil stood
Behind the part of me that’s good
Do you believe you’re different
Do you believe you’re free
I believe there’s more
Than the eye can see..

The spiritual eye
Do you trust in sight
Believing in things
With all your might
I went blind
And woke in the dark
No longer believing
In Noah's Ark...
I still believe.

Needs to die!

There’s no running from it

Sight
Traveler Oct 2019
I wish she shared my sight
To see beyond the veil
To share my outrage
To recognize our hell

Global are my views
But she just sits at home
Watching CNN
In the propaganda zone

Evil is our government
An American has no say
All the wars abroad
Are illegal on their face

The deep state runs the president
The one percent renowned
There’s dark money in our politics
Our politicians are but clowns

This is not a conspiracy theory
This is all our fates
Close your eyes turn on Fox News
And pretend America's great

A Look From Here
Traveler Feb 2020
It’s as bright as hell
my eyes are squinting
Due-east the sun is rising
The shining snow welcomes
a break from days of overcast
Banshee and I aimlessly walk across
the frozen lake to avoid the traffic of the winding slippery busy roads
Dead critters feathers and fur
cars and trucks slip and swerve
Ice fishers on the horizon
year rounders in summer cottages
Far and few people but hardly alone
So I sit on this ice and write this poem

In a sudden
Burst of
Synaptic re-uptake
My euphoric
Feelings stall!
Flipping
My switch
Bewilder
Bewitched
‘And so I build
My wall's...

Nagging lies
I close my eyes
And search
My memories
I grasp for love
And drown in grief
Alone I bleed in peace

I read your mind
Your star struck eyes
This crazy man
Is f...king high!
My words they flow
From a worn out soul
Yet it's my goal
To love you
Even tho
You may never
Love me!

Your reward arrives

Stumbling through lives

We got drunk on 70’s media
Deep in suburbia mind states..

All that was once hidden beneath our hunting gathering greed..
Right in front of us, the evil we let be..

PLAYING FOR MY DINNER
Traveler Sep 2019
So After my early morning chores
I go in the house for my second cup of coffee
And my girl is getting up
She sets down in her living room easy chair
Hot herbal tea in hand, device in the other
I pick up my guitar and magic flows out
I played my magnum opus's
One after another bleeding through my fingers
Tears come to my eyes
I play like I'm playing for my dinner
I'm starving for that connection
The bond that music brings
At the ****** I look up and see her
Still staring down at her device
Then I realize
I played for dinner
And left hungry...

Rich Man Disease
Traveler Jun 2021
What value shall we place
Upon the human race
What effort shall we give
So other people may live
In dignity and in peace
Who shall love the least?

What reason do we give
For having far to much
I give to Saint Jude's Hospital
But that is just a crutch
A sainthood moment
It feels good to ease
My bursting store house
Of this white man disease!

SUNDAY THOUGHTS
Traveler May 2017
Are you certain
Of the paths beyond
Can you be sure
Before you're gone

Do you believe
There's a time set
Perhaps it just
Hasn't happened yet

Were you passed over
When the miracles
Were rendered
Do you really believe
Or are you a pretender?

Because after all
We read the guide
The how to live
And never die

The call for help
That rarely came
The smiling preacher
Who god ordained

To lead us all
Through our disbelief's
But where will we land
In our free fall leap?

Giants in the land
A hint of the blood
Of an Englishman
Footprints on
The battle grounds
Death and destruction
Make another round
An eye for a blind eye
No one gets out alive

And more at five
How can our
Morals survive
Feeding a war machine
With innocent
Lives
Our silence
Lights up the night!

RHYME AND SHINE
Traveler Jan 13
When you’re all knowing
You need not a thought
No eyes to stare
No feet to walk

While we’re still in this form
Limitations distort our paths
Seems we’re burdened by beliefs
Or victims of some god’s wrath

But I can assure you,
My heart will always shine
Keeping my goals in focus
With each and every rhyme..
