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..

DAMN BLESSED
Traveler Sep 2019
It will always appear
Confusing
To most quite amusing
So I will attempt
To confess
How I can be
Both
So **** cursed
And yet very
**** blessed

The hang man
Isn't hanging
Death defying
Flaying
Upon the cliff
I'm scaling
The crowd
Neither haling
Nor for me rallying
I'm a star
Yet a hellion
Because
Higher thinking
In their eyes
Is rebellion
But then again
The hell with them!
'Cause I'm **** blessed
The end!

Resettled
Traveler Jun 2021
I been tainted with such beliefs
Death is but a ***** thief
Sins are redeemable in blood and sweat
Hurry, we haven’t got much time left

Heavy handed the hierarchy hicks
Church leaders were some of the biggest ******
Fear of hell fueled by shameful dread
But that’s not how the real Jesus lead

Let keep this vague
Lets keep this soft
When life is over
It’s time to get off

At the moment of rebirth
We’re in debt to the earth
The sky cannot lie
Clouds are but dreams passing by

And so my spirits gently sighs
All these unanswered questions
Yet I seem to be doing just fine!

WHAT LOVE IS FOR
Traveler Sep 2016
I wish you were mine
Captured in time
Fast asleep forevermore
Gathering stars
From worlds afar
Teaching us well
What love is for...

Two dreamers dreaming
When two worlds collides
Yet who shall stray
To the other side...
Where sunshine
Shines strange
Familiarity changes
On unknown waves
Yet still we ride...

PUSH AND SHOVE
Traveler Aug 2016
It's not as bad
As it would seem
I've lived a hundred
Broken dreams
Slaps in the face
Of life and love
I've lost the battle

In the moment
Safe from the hardened heart of time
The past try’s to keep up
The future gets left behind
While
Simultaneously in this moment
I’ve arrive!

HUMANOIDS
Traveler Aug 2017
Superstitious impairments
Tolerance gone extinct
Dark matter apathy
Evolution on the brinks
Extreme suffering
Existing in a void
Famine, torture, disease
Western bomb deployed
Somewhere in this existence
There must still be humanoids

MY MATRIX
Traveler Sep 2017
I left you alive
For a reason
Despite all your
Hatred and treason
Alone in a world
To bleed in
Free to fight
And beat 'em
I will return
Someday
But for now
I'm leaving!!

I have not a deaf ear
I'm simply not there
Be not confused
By my rhetoric
As my mystery
Unfolds
Let truth be known
You're destined to fuel
My matrix

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
Traveler Aug 2019
Picked up my guitar
I forgot I could play
I brushed the dust back
Back from my grave
No more, no way
Will I be death's slave!

I started to jam
Wining again
Pick myself up
I can even play
Van Helan
Where the hell have I been?
I've been keeping all of me in
I'd rather live
Live to the end!

And all who suffer
The ignorance of man
I play my guitar
As tied are my hands
Yet free is our voices
So let us be heard
Giving up
It just seems absurd!
Traveler Tim

BREATHE (Desperately)
Traveler Sep 2019
I will say this once again
If you are lonely
That’s a sin
My heart longs
My love
It runs beside me
Please

Come free me
Together we will
Finally breathe

I save people all day long
Someone save me

Circulation
Traveler Jan 2021
The opposite of repentance
Is rebellion
The opposite of resignation
Is reincarnation
A child feels something amazing
So he does it again
And there for
The opposite of righteousness
Is a struggle within!

Versus of Venus
Traveler Jan 2021
Pristine in her posturing
She's The Mighty Phoenix
She's the elegance Swan
She's the Verses of Venus
She's the Daughter of Dawn

Remotes in her proximity
Across a dreamy grassy pond
I am the song of her destiny
I am the Lily her lotus rest upon

Dear Verses of Venus
Poetess...
You ruffled my drake feather!

HOPE IN
Traveler Mar 2020
When red is all I see
I **** my pen and let it bleed
woes, curses, miseries
This world is built
on envy, hate and greed

When love I aim to feel
I play guitar
upon my hill
Looking down on
the desperately broken
for someone to put
my last hope in

Universal Chaos
Traveler Jun 1
Now I see, there it is..
The universal chaotic kiss.
Crazy has returned
in full bloom,
peace and harmony
are surely doomed…
I hope we’ve studied
for the final exam..
2025 is on the lamb,
on the prowl,
endless rain from toxic clouds..

Soothsayers and prophesy
caught in a landslide..
From here on
let tyranny be our guide!

My Experience Here
Traveler Jul 2024
You can’t see the light
when you’re hiding in darkness
I’ve had my share of
chaotic recurrence.
The path of peace
leads to the light.
I’m not afraid that I might
be missing something
out of my sight.
No big deal
my life is still a thrill!

EMPIRICALLY
Traveler Jun 2018
It might sound courageous
Or a bit naive
But I'm not incline
To simply agree
With subjective thoughts
Or allegories
I gather my objections
Empirically

My god is logic
And the goddess of love
No need to bow down
They fit like a glove
A creative heart
And a hungry soul
Are the gifts and curses
Of growing old...

I SLUMBER AND FORGET
Traveler Aug 2019
Dreams I no longer
Second guess
I leave this reality
This present mess
I slumber and forget

Older than dirt
I crack A smile
I hold on to love
Mile after mile
In a cesspool
Of regret
I slumber and forget

In poetic thoughts
I get lost
On my bed I get tossed
Listening to music
I dance
I give life
One more chance
Running from my regrets
I slumber and forget

POETRY DISORDER
Traveler Dec 2017
Am I crazy, no doubt
Crazy until the poetry
Finally spills out
Onto the page
Realities maze
Struggling to find
A reason in vain

Am I sane, I must be
My poetry sets
My busy mind at ease
Until I need, again to write
In the disorder
Of this poetry flight
...




RX< Take two poems
And write one in the morning...

DON'T COUNT ME OUT

Love is the only Lady

WORDS SO BRIGHT☀️
Traveler Sep 2019
Hay youngsters
With your words so bright
Help her save
The world tonight
Clean water
Perhaps
Clean air?
Hay stop ✋ what
You’re writing there!

Let Greta Thunberg
Touch thy muse
One last chance
Light the last fuse
Take to the streets
Actively
Write it in words
  And set your soul free!!!!

LOST AND LATE
Traveler Sep 2016
I wait
Time passes
That's my fate
I wonder what happened
To my beautiful date

I care
My emotions wear
Sometimes I wonder
If I even have a pair

I bleed
You don't see
I am ashamed
Of that part of me

Who takes it
On the cheek
Do you know
What anger does
Way down deep?

I hide
Press my pen
And lie
I won't
Let you see
  My deepest darkest side...

FIRE THAT REMAINS
Traveler Oct 2017
As the fabric of reality
Slowly comes undone
In these nightmares of society
There's no place left to run

Pitch black winged phantoms  
Filled a furious fiery sky
With howls and horrid raging screams
Screeching down in descending dives
Swooping, snatching every soul
Those unfortunately marked to die

Carrying existence
Spirals spinning swirling
Through suns, stars, fires
Into the smothering coals of our
Deepest darkest deadly desires

No resistance from
The slumbering slaves
Of supernatural heat
The flame of all domains
Dominions of all asleep
Burning drastically on eternally
The gathering entropies
....

SYMMETRY
Traveler Oct 2017
When the curse was finally lifted
My eyes would finally break free
For so many spellbound years
She was all that I could see

My soul wander long and lonely
My heart aimlessly
Never again would I be blinded
By the shallow's of symmetry
....
Traveler Tim
Traveler Jan 2021
When you say racism
I understand
But
What do you mean by
Systemic?
The school system?
The system of government?
I got a great sound system in my house
Subwoofer surround sound

Actually
Systematic is all the above
Which there’s
Distortion in the corruption of!

HOPE HELPS TO COPE
Traveler Feb 2019
Woke up this morn
Everything felt right
Oh how I wish
With all my might
To leave behind
The burdens in tow
All that disturbs me
Let it all go
But then again
I've been here before
Running from demons
That cling to my core

Every Day
Traveler May 2021
I caught a fleeting glimpse
A spark of the Devine!
Now a repeating pattern of light
Flashes through my rhymes

The forces for good
We follow
Shielded us from the heat
I come to bring a breath of hope
With words that you can breathe!

At the opening of our minds
An emotion of gratitude awaits
Love is the key
To reverse our fatal fates.

And so I write of love every day!

UNLIKELY CONCLUSION
Traveler Jun 26
Beneath the tears
That bleed fools dry
The eye of Ares dwells
Peering into eternal night
The darkest blackest hell
There be found
The wretched bound
Trapped within their dream
Whispers of madness
Within their ears
All shall be redeemed

THE SECRET
Traveler Jun 2014
If I opened up, could you stand
The secret side of who I am?
To express the way I truly feel
To admit that all your fears are real

Or shall I remain behind this cloak of bliss?
And someday you'll claim, "How could I've missed"
Or perhaps my poison arrows is but a kiss
Are you prepared my love to take such risk?

Shall I live a lie that's never known?
The purest truth, shall it not be shown?
To give and take, to live and die
Can such love survive within a lie?

20/20 Sight
Traveler May 28
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

MISS YOU
Traveler Apr 2019
Solid metal
Becomes my mental box's
PTSD
Can be hard to keep locked
It holds irrational fears
Residues of yesteryear's
Clinching onto the grim
Realities of past sorrows
But of course I'll be back
This way again tomorrow!

KITCHEN BITCHES
Traveler Jul 2022
I was turned on by a Toaster, she tanned my bread to gold
In time she ejected me, it was her natural Toaster role...
I fell for her sister, a Deep Fryer in despair, my lust began to boil
I had to come up for some air...
I ran off with a Can Opener, she could even sharpen knives,
She opened up a can of *** whip, she could never be my wife!
I met a **** Freezer, but her heart was cold as ice, I was bitten by her frosty ways
Once bitten, never twice...
I made my way across the tile to an Oven quite unique
All her features were well displayed, on this EZ Baking Freak!
She cooked me on the surface, yet burnt me deep within
I guess my culinary skills were lacking in the end...
So now I date a Spatula safely from the heat
She flips a mean burger and french fries by the heap!
Truth is I'm a Poet
Who simply likes to eat!

MY RUNAWAY BRIDE
Traveler Jul 2017
Did you ever leave
Your lover
Hungry and cold
Like leaving
A dog
On the side
Of the road

Did you ever
Get it back
All the year
That you missed
All the parties
And reunions
All that fun ****

By cutting ties
With your husband
And three little kids
Well my twenty
Year old wife
That's what she did

--Moral of the write--
Seventeen years old
Is far to young to be a bride
You see, It was my fault
For starting a family
Before it was time

Of Love and Fear
Traveler Aug 2016
I felt the sting
As the first shot rang out
Oh what a need
Living brings about
As the door cracked open
And the light crept through
I could no longer follow
The likes of you
So shall I sleep
A million years
In slumbering states
   Of love and fear...

MIRACULOUSLY
Traveler Jul 2018
Actually
I am one of those
Yet just like you
I'm also one of them!
Where ever I roam
I'm already home
From beginnings
'Til bitter ends

I give and I take
Consume 'til I ache
That part of humanity
Nobody can fake
Either by chance
Or miraculous fate
Subconsciously knowing
Life was not a mistake

DRAWN
Traveler Feb 2018
Oh there’s no doubt!
We are drawn to familiar roles
I believe you may recognize
The contours of my soul
I won’t back down
From the gates of Hell
I can’t be broken
By a prison cell
No other heart
Could ever Rhyme
The words that touch
You deep in mind
Somehow you already know
We were always here before

MORAL MATES
Traveler Dec 2017
How very blessed you must be
If you can truly relate
To being with your eternal mate
With not a thought of being free
Isn't that how it was meant to be?

While the rest of us are not so blessed
In fact our lives are quite the mess
Eternal mates lost to fate
Have you ever really felt
The emptiness of such a place

So please
Quash the grimmest face
And give us cheaters
Just a little
Break!

Where Love Resides
Traveler Mar 2021
It was possible
So I became
The one who
Loves through pain

I refuse depression
And all that ails
I’m bullet proof
And happy still

Ever learned
Ever-growing
Mindfulness
Poetry flowing

I never minded carrying you
I would never leave you behind
Come with me to a peaceful shore
In a state where love resides!
Traveler 🧳 Tim

Try to live in the state of love
and acceptance
see if you can.
It’s the key to longevity.

The janitor
Traveler Feb 2020
Suddenly there was a loss of interest,
why do we insist upon gratification.
I suspect we are limited
by our own realities.
We sleep while the dreaming’s good.
Until a force awakens us,
then we sleep walk
through our nightmares.
Until we realize
we were never asleep.

No One Gets Out Alive
Traveler Jun 19
Herbicide rich farm lands..
Pesticides on every lawn..
Long live the American dream!
Capitalism is a long lost song..

Roundup sprayed ski slopes and golf course turfs!
Bucket list of old rich folks dying of cancers..
City water that stinks..
The ink of our receipts..
Testosterone levels,
rapidly deplete..
Year’s of no regulation,
Aluminum in the sky..
They obviously want to make sure…

LONG WINDS
Traveler Apr 2017
Two accounts?
I have thought of doing the same thing
I feel restrained at times
I don't like to offend the religious
Or like minded friends of any kind
Although perhaps I do...
I like writing all different styles
From inspirational to very dark
From philosophical 2 fantasy
From spiritual to atheists and in between
What I've noticed quickly in writing circles
Is a lot of people think that you can only write dark or light.
Yet my definition of creativity has a larger wider span
And a bottomless depth....

WASTE YOUR TIME
Traveler Sep 2017
Don't go questioning
What you think you know
Don't go searching
For some obscure truth
The love of God
Will save your soul
When you have no
Will left to choose
Find him in the foxholes
Slayed in his design
Stress can cause a miracle
Chill bumps down your spine
Ain't nobody's business
How you waste your time!!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
Traveler Jul 2023
I've seen so many Poets come and then they go. Who you really where
I guess I'll never know.

A thousand avatars penned to my soul. Tell me why do Poets
seem to fade from there roles?

Will you be here tomorrow or will you also fade…
Do you have anything left that I can feel you say?

Truth is
we’ll probably never get to know each other anyways...
