Traveler Apr 2020
Hello India how’s it going?
Hay out there England what you knowing
And Ireland it’s good to read ya around
All those countries in Africa
Got it going down!
And around the Mediterranean
I love to hear from all of ya!
Oh beautiful Canada
White and cold
and raw
Beautiful Mexico City
Where summer never ends
Japan I can only guess
South Korea north It depends

But where are the Russians
Bold and true
Hey North Korea
We wonder about you
And mighty China
Your borders run deep

Turkey A scuffle
At the
Border of Greece
But dealing with the US
Who can keep the peace

THE BREAKING
Traveler Oct 2017
Old spells shall
Finally pass
Witches curses
Melted wax
Wicked intent
Set in black
Voodoo dolls
Back in bags
Unburnt herbs
Ancient oils
Cast it down
The Witches toil
Unspoken rhymes
Formless words
Fan the fires
Of swift returns
Cast to the witches
Their just deserves

Served with a heart of gold
Traveler Oct 2024
What if we don’t choose sides
of each political and social situation being presented in these end times?

Can we just witness these atrocities without reacting or allowing ourselves to be pulled into the drama?

How about a call to peace instead of revenge?

The experience of childhood is the richest gift life has to offer.
The gift every child on earth deserves served with a heart of gold.
TT
Everyone on earth deserves dignity.

When I Die
Traveler Nov 2020
I don't ever want to die
But if I had to choose
   Which way to go.....

Perhaps a hungry coyote
Would share me with it's pack
Tear my flesh limb from limb
And chew my bones to plaque  

Perhaps a poison lizard
Green with a yellow streak
Come crawling up from a stool
And bite me on the meat

Perhaps a giant boulder
At a famous mountain range
Could crash upon my head
And squish out all my brains

Like Bonnie and Clyde
Or a Challenger Astronaut
I want to go
Where the cameras have not
Screaming at the burning stake
Freezing in the artic waist
High falling
Last gasp drawing
Deep sea drowning
Ear ringing gunfire
Bomb blowing
Blast
KABOOM!

At the end my days
‘Cause
It’s better to go out with a bang
Then it is to quietly fade
Away.............
Traveler Tim

Wouldn't be anything left of me to box up if it were up to me. Fortunately it isn't!

Note 57
Traveler Feb 2020
It's quickly unfolding
the death of this festering paradigm
reviling the corpse of indifference  
Change come hard
while the opposition sleeps
time is a monster in a dream
wake up!, wake up! is what it screams.

Dear To My Heart
Traveler Nov 2019
For the third time
I'm going down

Near or around

Which makes me a fool
I am a cancer

Treat me how
Ever you need
I am but a wiping boy
Down on my knees

World Unkind
Traveler Jan 2021
I dreamt you were an angel
in a world so unkind
A light shone all around you
suspending you in time
You come to heal the people
of their sickness and disease
But you turned away in sorrow
‘cause your touch could not heal me
It all felt so familiar
like it happened yesterday
You left me in the ruins
and slowly walked away

ETERNAL GREED
Traveler May 2018
Here and now lies the realm
The comings and goings
Of the mysterious soul

From the agony  
Of a primal birth
Into the ignorance
Of an exciting fleshly role

Speculations manifest
Reason evolves into mysteries
'Til all that's left
Is a superstitious guess
To ease our eternal goal

SETS MY SOUL FREE
Traveler Jul 2021
A bird of prey went soaring by
Oh so free and oh so very high

Through the airways undisturbed
Cringing worthy are the screams I heard

Morning sun breaking over the trees
Across my farm of duck's and geese's

Dewdrops from heaven linger upon my crops
A soil undisturbed, a regenerate of rot

Well water safe from the Crystal Mountain spring
This little piece of paradise is all I need
To set my soul free!

Old calendar
Numbers an squares
Years passing
Leaving us here

Appointments made
Birthday’s go by

Ghost of way back then
Place’s we once held
I’m still dreaming
Of true love
My soul I could not sell

HOLLOW
Traveler Nov 2019
Deceitfully innocent
She runs the show
Cordially manipulative
You'd never know

I do her bidding
To secure our roof's
All my worth
Wasted in youth
She holds my deed
She knows my truth
She hides my keys
My only proof

In paths of duality
I follow her down
I am her shadow
I make no sound
I am the hollow
Inside her shell
I am the fire
Burning like hell

Emptily I ride
And somehow get by
She tolls the rope
I never ask why

NOT A HERO
Traveler Sep 2019
I keep no medals
Nor pictures of back then
I'm no longer a warrior
I have no wish to defend...
In fact, I'm forced to run
Unable to hide
Cameras and drones
Fill my minds eye’s

(Truth is)
I once saved my ship
From sinking
I found a hole
And stopped it from leaking
Somebody up on deck
Got the credit
Even the ships new paper
Refuse to edit

I never needed
A notch in my gun
When the cops yell stop
I'm the first to run
I've done more time
Then I care to claim
I've always been innocent
I just keep getting framed

And still
My love is as big
As the setting sun
If you cry out
Here I come
Yet I no longer feed
On excitement
And speed
A warrior
I no longer wish to be!

Love By Biome
Traveler Aug 2021
It would be divine
if we could meet
face to face on the streets
or sitting down
to share a meal
nothing could be
a bigger thrill!

In the comfort of our homes
we exchange experiences
all alone
lost
in a wi-Fi zone

Close proximity
would better serve
so all the memory
could be observed

To know and share
a loving infection
has always taken
the biome connection!

ONCE UPON A TIME
Traveler Feb 2018
Down and ***** wishing you were dead
Lying, cheating, gun against your head
Remember when I took you to the show
You were someone else, so many years ago...

Drugs and alcohol, feeling so blue
**** them dreams that never come true
Sing those songs that we use to sing
Once upon a time when you were my queen...

I’m In My Own Way
Traveler Nov 2020
The realization of being here has
Put me in my own way

I could never hear my ears before
Now I can’t hear through the ringing

I could never see my eyes before
Now they obstruct my vision

My sinuses have taken up
Allergies

My hair is thinning and gray
Nothing is here to stay

That is once you start
Getting in your own way!



I would carry-on but it almost seems depressing becoming self aware
So I’ll end this here.

THE ART OF ARGUING
Traveler Aug 2017
Her apology
Defused my anger
She'd never been
Forgiven so fast
I've been trying
To teach her
Why arguments
Aren't meant to last

But what do I know
About relationships
Compromising
Letting go
Holding on
For good measure
Placing trust
In another soul

I never speak
Of our forever
I never worry
What tomorrow
Will bring
The here and now
Our greatest treasure
But I won't be
Arguing

Dream Analysis
Traveler Jun 2024
Who needs dreams to tell us
what we already known
A bunch of big fat loser
with big fat pots of gold

We are either living in some past
or waiting on some future
Addicted to destruction
Mother Earth abusers

Dreams are the confession of the soul,
now just let them go!

NATION LESS ISM'S
Traveler Dec 2017
Behold the legislation
That falls upon the heads
Of anyone who's fortune
Has yet to be read

Gentle sober soul
Up against the wall

Beware the eyes that follow
And silently understand
I will not be party to any

RATIONALITY
Traveler Aug 2017
I can see
From right to wrong
I make those choices
Everyday
A glass of water or a six pack
Shake it off
Or chase those blues away

I fled the cave
Of voiceless shadows
To know the other side
The path beyond
The supernatural
A light shining
From an objective sky

The superstitious mind
Will often wanders
Like a rat
Trapped in a maze
Chewing through
The fabrications
As rationality
Finds it's way

MEANING

There’s no mystery
Love is why I’m here
To truly love myself
Becomes so very clear

I love my family

I love music and poetry
Aesthetics set my spirit free

Still that’s not why I’m here..
I’m here to learn to let my love steer

Ugly Scares
Traveler Oct 2019
I don't mean to be rude
But after all
That was yesterday
Moods get altered
And therefor
Feelings can change

But to be fair

But there's nothing there
I just stare in the air
It's safer not to care

We assume many things
that are often incorrect...

We take things personal
when it isn’t intentional...

Broken contacts in an emotional construct
it's a wonder we fine love...

Life is a dream!
We are artist of our own reality
So why do we dream about suffering?
It's nobodies fault we're alive
I dream my love is as big as the sky!

Student Debt
Traveler May 4
I didn’t see the gorilla
who just walked through
There was to much information
where my eyes were glued

While the copious lecture
I ride along
At memorising manual
I’m not that strong.

Community college was such a breeze. I still owe money for their worthless degree.

In America, that’s how we roll!!
Paying for our education
while we’re growing old.

To expose themselves
Too a deep
Dark Hell
Who Would dare to let

Nightmares dwell
Who could hold
Their voice
So as not to scream aloud!

Your chance

You can always bail
In my chambers
Where I lie
Howls of doom
Come alive
Specters roam
The cobweb halls
My closets full
Of bones I've sawed
Under these coves
I shake, shiver and toss
Weary of
The next lover lost

THIRTY YEAR AGO
Traveler Oct 2017
I came home
That evening
The doors were locked
She took the key
Stashed under the rock
I fell over my bags
She'd strewn across the lawn
As I saw my broken guitar
I knew right then
    I had to move on...

Sad little eyes
Glared out the window at me
I loaded my truck
With a harsh reality
Into the latter years
The fall out spread
Not one of my children
Have ever been wed

With no children to break
In the broken bonds of trust
Here my seed shall die
Seems this life was a bust

Where I Fit In
Traveler May 24
My fears are bold and brave
To the system, I’m no slave
To the meek, I’m but a freak
I refuse to let them
Make me sickly or weak

My device knows when to quit
I leave it at home unlike you kids
Unlike the masses trying to fit in
I will break long before I bend.

I am a loser a winner a slob
I don’t have a blue-collar job
I’m not trying to get rich
Alone in nature is where I fit!

Complications
Traveler Sep 2020
Nothing is how it’s supposed to be
Yet it’s perfect how it is
The paradox is plain to see
There’s pleasure in suffering to live

Love an irresistible irritation
A hungry heart of complications
Time refuses to standstill
Innocence was never real

From the moment we’re born
We tread on life
We catch and ride
This purposeful flight

In the end
Perhaps we all ascend
So
Devour to survive
If you can!

Do You Believe
Traveler Oct 2020
If I were to believe in God
I know who I’d become
A servant and a slave
Equivalent to God’s son

Obeying all commandments
Fearing eternal fire
Never giving in
To forbidden desires

They say they believe
But what prof do they have
Living their lives
Like mice in a lab

The mazes we weave
Of our own beliefs
Eternal prostration
For the sleepwalking elite

If we were all-things and nothing less
There would be no reason to fear our deaths
What faith, what hope, what reasoning
Would we have left?

But yes
I do believe
We’ll be here tomorrow
To dream of happy or simple sorrow
To appreciate all We can
Living, loving
And being
Human!

I must confess
I keep pictures of slave-owners
Well more or less
In my wallet
Sea-foam green
Fine frog hairs
Cash I mean
Picture printed on the backs of hemp
Were they heroes or merely slave owning wimps?

Even my coins are incline
They shine the barbarism of our kind
Every penny, quarter, nickel and dime
Somehow they spend just fine

Smash the statues
Change their names
From your cultural war
I will abstain

Yet I need my money just the same!

Pharmaceutically Free
Traveler Jul 22
So much energy is spent attempting to explain the nature of depression.
Anxiety and anger can negatively affect family members. The outcome is a dysfunctional relationship.
We can’t thrive tiptoeing around these problems.

The solution is simple.
You are what you eat. An intermittent fasting diet consisting of only meat, dairy and vegetables.
Long walks, leave your device behind.
I guarantee you, your depression will go away within weeks and never return, when you change your lifestyle.
Traveler Tim

Until you try my prescription, you probably shouldn’t tell me that it won’t work for most people. Or you can keep prescribing pills and claim I’m wrong. Without even trying.

PS, I have helped a handful of people get off MEDS and get their life together.
