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...

WAKE UP
Traveler Jan 2018
Running from the thunder
Hiding in the trees
Superstitious people
Your will is hardly free
Casting the unlikeliness
Of a loving killing god
Stolen from the pagans
By a crucifying mob

It's time to wake up
WAKE UP

Worshipped on the mountain
Forsaken down below
Superstitious people
Fearing for their soul
Casting their inventions
Making holy war
Pretending not to notice
The ****** killing floor

It's time to wake up
WAKE UP

DARK SECRETS
Traveler Aug 2016
I have a few
Debilitating, condemning
I've lost my way
More than once

My dignity
Blowing in the wind
My morals
Off to the witch

I shutter the memories
Would flow through my pen
And that I would revisit
A single dark memory
  Ever again...

Held in place in perpetual glide

DESCENDING
Traveler Aug 2019
You could never believe
Reality as I perceive
Waves of my realm
Flow like an angry sea
I gasp to hold on
As my shadow bleeds
But inside its calm
Where air flows strong
I gasp to hold on

On the shore of my isle
Reality crashes
Deep in my sleep
Frightening flashes
Perhaps these moments
Never existed at all
Reality is a state of mind
An interpretation of cause

I gasp to hold on
Hold on to my *****
.........................
Sorry
Babel of a mad man....

SEDUCED
Traveler Dec 2018
If you fell into depression
Would I leave you there to die?
In a world where no one's listening
When your praying to the sky
On behalf of my belonging
To this silly human race
I'd very much like to **** you
But I've chose a different pace

When your eyes become so distant
That they blend in with the rest
When you lose focus on the subject
When we fail the final test
The light of day is dying
We grow near a time to sleep
So I guess It's only fair to warn you
There is no soul to keep!

WHITE AS RAIN
Traveler Oct 2017
Good friends
Don't always see things the same
Certain amounts of animosities
Interactively remain
Politics and religion
A measurement of wits
Constantly clashing
Good friends are the ****
Although sometimes
Bigotry comes into play
Cleverly crafted subliminal displays
An elephant in the pathway of justice
A mindset politically seasoned
Can easily corrupt us

Oh how harsh the voice of my reason
Us Liberals are always up to our treason
Watch their eyes roll to the right
As their fascist-ism
Peeks through their white
Hold on to that gun
With all your might
Wealthy people
Love to fight

True Science
Traveler Jan 2022
Okay
I admit it
I am a regurgitating lecturer
I love us all!
So you should know…
Big Pharma
Is indeed
married to the FDA
And
our CDC is trying
to take our rights away!
with fake science!!!

Look into it
call it out
and most of all
kindly ask them to stop
forgive them
remember
they don’t realize
the severity of their actions
Real scientist can be found in the science labs of our college’s and university’s.
Not the back room of a pharmaceutical company.

Dear New Poets
asking advice on writing poetry.

You already know how!
Remember your first nursery rhymes,
that was the creative seed planted by the universe, water it and grow!

STATUS CHECK
Traveler Jul 2016
I find such words
So empty and meaningless
They possess no special gift
Nor do they craft
A love as a perilous journey
Or dream aloud in bliss

So freely we fly
Unpredictable skies
Crash indeed we may
On poetic wings
We express our falls
And fly again
  Just the same...

BEYOND INTENT
Traveler Dec 2020
All is vanity
The meanings of passion
The aesthetic expression
The lines we draw and stay within
Even love is beyond intent
Vanity transcends
Flowing from our pens
And so we breathe again

Heart Beat
Traveler Sep 2023
How dare they should determine what come next?
Chaos agreed upon then pardoned when there nothing left.
Daily I retreat to my wisdom’s core, calmly deep in nature I can breathe once more.
In this matrix I feel less than complete, everyone I know seems fast asleep.
With eyes wide open I can hear our heart beat, I push forward in the beauty of finally flying free!

BEHIND A SMILE
Traveler Nov 2016
Dread is alive
Roaming the earth

Feeds on low vibes
Oppression gives birth

Without a warning
Beyond a clue

Dread is a cold night
   Waiting for you...

Run and play now
Poetic child

But beware the dread
   Behind a smile...

Subject’s
Traveler Jul 2021
Politics are enraging
a running with the bulls
I use to follow reverently
My anger rarely cooled

Math is but patterns
repeating through our lives
love doesn’t adds up
equity with our strife

Science is quite random
our awareness of measurements
try to rap your mind around
an abyss of happenstance

History forlorn
a past of cultural lies
beware the tellers of the truth
for the end is always nigh

Psychology interesting
‘til ya figure it out for yourself
Freud would have us all
living in a state of doubt

Quantum Physics
a subject that takes me home
to the matrix
of my soul
where I'm subject to be
never alone!

Untitled Poem
Traveler Mar 2020
From here
I touch and squeeze
Friction current
Electricity

From here I
***** minds
Smolder in gently
From behind

On your keys
I’m begging please
I can’t get my freak on
These cyber machines

From here
I can taste
Your precious pretty
I can smell your
Nitty gritty

These circuits
Flash with pixel power
Emotional dread
Romantic young flowers
And finally and for most
The connection of
Cyber ghost

TWO HEARTED EVIL
Traveler Apr 15
Choose a side
that fits you best.
Because obviously the other side caused this fracking mess.
And the fools that left
and the fools that followed
in a deep swap of tyranny their oligarchs wallow..
This hegemonic presence is a fierce flame to keep.
Could’ve been, should’ve been careful of all the evil that they’ve heaped..
Traveler 🧳 Tim

So many distractions to keep us from paying attention to the elephant in the room, genocide wars in the Middle East.
Big bad Trump, crazy old Biden, but not a word of Gaza or Yemen on our wonderful news media.
That’s the power of western hegemony!

Learn To Levitate
Traveler Mar 2020
The bottom has falling out
Levitation is a must
I collect my abilities
Disability was just a crutch

Retired warrior conditions
A construct of altered cognition
We all grudge the *****
Why else would we put hope
In our metaphysical
Poetic encryption's
  
I assure you
It is all merely mind over matter
Surely a little bit older
And of course a bit fatter
But levitation, I'll have at her!!

RESOLUTION
Traveler Dec 2016
When finally you meet
The darkness of soul
There a shallow heart beats

Alone in your sphere
The echoes implode
Chasms between you
And your dreams

Reluctant and resentful
Life lingers longer
And the heart
Hungers for more

Thankful and mindful
Now you are strong
So get out there
     And stop being a bore...(-:

Thomas W Case's
Tom Waits Challenge


She doesn’t represent me anymore
She’s agonizingly apathetic to the core
I live by myself out back in her barn
She can no longer do me any harm

Bedbugs and scratching mice
The bare necessities will suffice
I have no need for greed or misery
I have but one ex-wife

The old windmill has frozen gears
I haven’t tilled these grounds in years
I drink and drive my old beat up truck
To the bar to try my luck

Oh those gals
With sweet love swells
All a man can use
Drunken blind
And feeling fine
And I'm not afraid to lose!

Keep Out Sign
Traveler Apr 2024
Greedy rich neighbors
and their “keep out signs”
no hunting, no trespassing,
no solicitors of any kind!

100 acres is not enough
for greedy rich people
who have a lot of stuff.
I reckon it’s all in case
their going gets rough.
Of course the rest of us
would just be out of luck.

If I had their money,
I would give it away,
you can’t take it with you
at the end of the day.
People simply gets old and broken
with all the wealth they have
put their hopes in.

Eye of the needle open wide
I’ll be broke as hell when I die!

As the food hits the bowl

Hungry hounds
Twice a day
When the meal
Goes down

Hungry dogs
Hanging around

Dogs on my mind,
I run a popular dog kennel
Some dogs only get one cup of dog food
Their owners keep them on a diet
They are the ones that eat the fastest

BROKEN TRUST
Traveler Dec 2018
Warning!
Not a poem for
The squeamish!
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"How it works"
Boundary lines are breached
Pain is arbitrarily served
Nerves placed on a torture rack
Love stretched in opposing directions
A new vocabulary of meaningless words
Punishing piercing looks of content
In a mindless separation
Needs remain unfulfilled
Fractured realities
Something to share
A second chances of lies
And somehow
Broken trust survives..
Traveler Tim

A walk through madness
That bleeds the soul
Careful
The seeds your Karma sows

HIGHER CALL
Traveler Feb 2018
There were times
When I too believed
I felt the freedom
Euphoric relief
The wings of protection
I surely had
Enough to keep me
From going mad
The silence of faith
I let it ****
My mind and life
Was never safe
Patients evolve
The riddles
We’re solved
No need for any
Solid
Physical law
While
Trusting in that

For me
Love is so hard to hold
And you, you burn like a
Red hot blistering coal
Truths get in my way
***** deeds I've done
Refuse to simply
Just fade...
Even I've hurt someone
While lost in life's maze
But now my guilt weighs a ton
Yet if I could
If I had it in me
You would be the one!

Thank you for being my friend!

Testosterone
Traveler Apr 2021
Early every morning
when my mind is one
my body is drawn
towards the sun

I take to my feet
across the lawn
into the woods
life can't go wrong

down through the swamp
I move real swift
up the rocky ridge
to the eastern cliff

I reach my goal
in solitude
I stretch my body
and the energy rules

in an even flow
with all that is
and so...
every morning
I experience bliss!

BABY STATUE
Traveler Jun 2018
Whisk me away oh Devil
To a land of precious lies
Where sleeping beauties dream
In falsehoods synchronized

To where
Creatures clad in dark attire
Cater to our dark desires
These beasts who bleed
Our burden dry
Underneath a wicked sky

Cemetery sunrise gathering gloom
Pine away in tomorrow's tomb
Baby statues with broken wings
Frozen postures, silent screams

Burning at the stake of wrath
Hell is but a well worn path
Leading to a putrid end
   Broken wings of human sin...
I was setting on a cemetery bench
when I wrote this,

He was labeled
The one corrupt

Don't wonder why
Leave Tim alone
And say goodbye

Madrigal
Traveler Nov 2020
$A song by a Canadian band$

When the dragons grow too mighty
To slay with pen or sword
I grow weary of the battle
And the storm I walk toward

When all around is madness
And there's no safe port in view
I long to turn my path homeward
To stop a while with you

When life becomes as barren
And as cold as winter skies
There's a beacon in the darkness
In a distant pair of eyes

In vain to search for honor
And in vain to search for truth
But these things can still be given
Your love has shown me proof

I’m not gonna
Wait for you
I know you been seeing someone new

Go for a ride
I’m not gonna let it get me this time

Just let you fade away
All the words you say
Turn the music up go for a ride
I’m not gonna let it get me this time

I don’t wanna be
Somebody’s fool
I’m not gonna beat up your new tool
I’m not gonna get drunk in spite of myself
I’m going to simply move on
To someone else.

Pregnancy

Is it moral
being the gate keeper
deciding when life shall emerge?
If not the best timing
shall new life be purged?

swarming with new birth
Did god appoint me caretaker
of a piece of his earth?

If all of these wombs
were actually placed in my charge
my world would become
far to large!

SAINT POETRY
Traveler Jan 2019
Please, oh please I mean no offence
And I promise not to try and leave some kind of hints
But can anyone really knows
The personality of god?
Pure and holy
Or is that a façade?
Stern and always angry
A war that never ends
Loving others despite the fact that we never can
Is he the beginning or are we the end
How can anyone win?
Justifying true sin
Over and over tempted again?

Sexual Orientation
Traveler Jan 2021
I have had it with other people
Assigning my gender association
I can’t be identified
by mere ****** sensations
I’m a reject in normal relations
Yet only on special occasions
I like it both soft and hard
Steamy widows
Backs of cars
Poetically ******
Venus’s Mars
I’ll turn it on
My android charm
I swear my sexuality
Will do you no harm!

Especially in extended proximity
So mind your own beeswax

THE WORLD I KNOW
Traveler Jul 2017
An old family of friends of mine
They still live the religious life
Tethered to a state of mind
An enigmatic moral plight
Separate from all others
Outside their chosen vale
They call each other
Sister and Brother
And believe that we're in
Hell

Forty hours a week at work
The rest of their lives devoted to church

Desensitized their children
Escape through the shadows and cracks
The woman server the master
It was written, somewhere in the past

And once I lived among them
In the passage of my soul
Until my third eye opened
Unto this world I know

many have staked their claim

No longer there

Deep in the night

And all we read
Are lost spirit words
Burning in his
Just deserves
For spreading lust
Upon his page
Sharing with us
His passive
Aggressive rage
Unfortunately
It was merely a
Temporary stage

Eternally
Leading us in laughter

Something or...
Somebody put me here
So I could take his place
Whoever this poet was
I don't recognize my face
I would never write
Such self indulgent words
From the old Traveler
Seems like
That's all we ever heard
No one needs to know
Where I go or...
Where I live
I'm still at the age where
I love to get and give
But who ever put me here
In this old fellas boots
At least you could have left me
With a hint of why or...
Who!

Do you ever wonder where my head is while writing these?
