Throw the maps away
Navigate
By the light of day
Shortcut will conceal
What is fake
And what is just not real
Leave the
Past left wrong
All you can do is
Keep going straight
Keep going strong
At the
Futures turn right
You're sure to get there
Sometime this life!

I get my information
from the dirt…
While running my hands
through the fertile earths…
My mucus membranes
collect the biome beneath..
ancient mycelium filaments
feed my primal needs!
Traveler 🧳
Truth
There is a fungi that lives just beneath the soil called mycelium, it is known to grow up to 2250 acres. It sustains all the trees in its reach.
There is peace and harmony under the dirt!

Don't **** with me
It's not a safe bet
I'm probably
The craziest Poet
You ever read
My words condemn
I rhyme unkind
I've sold my soul
Far too many times!
As for love
I have failed
So many losses
A survivor of hell
But...
If by some off chance
You stop by my page
And take a glance
Keep in mind
With tongue in cheek
I like to dance!

Imagine the illogical
A common sense that lacks
Parasitic phenomenon
Clinging to ones back
Involuntary commitment
To a shadow haunted state
Just behind the unconsciousness
  Unable to feel safe

I hate to sleep alone
When one eyes opened wide
When the shadows go a swirling
Up the walls and down my spine
But I've felt too many things
In the journey of my soul
I'll take them to the grave
When the shadows lay me low
..................................................
All those children from war torn worlds
Will suffer PTSD much worse than I do.
I can't imagine their hell.

I’ve searched so long for truth
Yet you can never be quite sure
Even a sign out of chance
At anytime could occur

Once I fell in love
But was that actually true
Hate could be so real
I’d tell you if I knew

Sometimes I feel so trapped
So caught in this thing called time
Other times I can’t seem to keep up
I guess I’ll never unwind

Still with destiny I’ve met
Both my goals and regrets
But the end is nowhere in sight
Nor near, no not yet

Climb inside
Take me for a ride
See for yourself
My heart is Divine
Caring is what I do
Can I reach through
And touch you
A handful of anything
Is more then I have
Feel free
Poke your fingers in
Make me real glad
I have a heart
I have a soul
I am but a empty
*** of gold
But my heart is divine
That I know!

(Collaboration with the Poetess Santita)

Passion thrives
In an orbital glide
Binding horizons
Of illicit paradise
Where sparks of dawn
Lay waste the night
Two lovers Falling
In fiery free flight

Holding patterns
In a soaring dive
The rush that keeps
You and I alive
Oh how I long
To be in flight
To dive inside
Of you tonight

Submerged
In the fire-dipped passion of his kiss
Where blazing flames engulf us
We swim the current of fervent bliss
Tongues tied
In a satin burning dance
I pull you in close
As our bodies become entranced

Rush of flesh
Two bodies mesh
Euphoric landing
Hyper breaths
Passion 'til there's nothing left...

It doesn't matter
What you do
Some dogs
Are prone
To sing the blues
Drearily howling
Slobbery drools
*** sniffing
Hairy and smelly too
Yet somehow
They keep their cool
After all
What's a dog to do?

Woofin at the neighbors
Chasing down the squirrels
Peeing on the lawn gnomes
Looking for referrals
Chowing down on kibble bits
Hey, it's just a doggy gig
Playing Frisbee in the yard
And catch, with sticks, not twigs
I wish that I could have his life
The fun would never end
'Cept for that part with knives
No *****, to call my friends

Domesticated
And set free on life
Find a car, a job, a wife
Play outside, until dark
Walk your serves dog
To the park...

Drink a beer to relax
In the end
The cards are stacked
On the road
Or in the field
A worn out soul
Is what we yield

A yawn, a word
A mere memory
The domestication
Of our species

I refuse to give up
Vanity is my middle name!
The story that you tell yourself,
is nothing more than a spell...
Spells can be broken.
The real you awaits,
the evolution of your soul.
Like a caterpillar the ego
must go.

Traveler Oct 2019
Sometimes
Promises get broken
Subconsciously unspoken
After all
You can always say
You were only joking

I'm not afraid anymore
If you're going to leave
Close the cellar door
I've been in your chains
For far too many years
It's prime time for a cure

I peeped the light
Things can only get better
You can keep my coat
Just let go my sweater

Can you hear them crying out
Help help help help
There’s starving to death
They’re being ***** an oppressed and made slaves
They can’t speak up they can’t speak out
What was the purpose of all this they wonder and so in their God they doubt
Can’t you hear so many people upon this earth crying out???????

And I don’t want to watch your soap opera    I don’t want to watch your play
How am I supposed to enjoy myself
When the world has lost its way?

So close your eyes
Dream of your heaven
but life is a hell of a maze!

Come watch me play
The little girl would say
But they would never take the time
Now she’s grown and she’s all mine

I turned her like a ******
I bathe her when she’s funky
She’s ***** sweet and greasy
She tastes a little ******

I can not lie about
The pleasure I receive
Pulling your leg
With this tongue in my cheek...

Compromised

Judgment
Of morality

Close my eyes
Move on
And just live
Now that I have fallen

You come home late in your short skirt
You're such a flirt, that's what really hurt
I pretend to be asleep as you enter
You see at this game I'm a beginner
In my universe you've become the center
I'm never sure what to say or do
When I get the blues
So I act a fool

Under your breath you start to giggle
You crawl in bed and start to wiggle
My emotions get so fickled
  Inside I start to cringe
Cuz you need to make amends
Fast asleep I still pretend
Yet I guess you have your plan
And it's all that I can stand
When you whisper "You're my man!"

Don't wake me from this dream
It's not a bad dream
Hell I don't know what it means
First I start to waste away
Then you feel the need to play
Perhaps I'll figure life out someday...

Peering out my bedroom window
I see the weeds out on the lawn
I see the ghost of my reflection
I think of you and start to yawn...

I close my eyes and slip unconscious
The day begins without me there
A drippy faucet breaks the silence
I wake again and gasp for air ...

Late morning sun demands attention
Still my window seems a pale dull haze
Is that your car out in my driveway
Or is my window out of phase ...

There's a secret room in each of us
A place we store unwanted ****
Leave the lights off, hurry close the door
It's easier to just ignore...

I like to laugh, I love to feel good
But I don't always feel things like I should
I tried to tell you these things before
You see, I can't always close my door ...

Fortunately I can deal with my own ****
Even if you and I don't fit
Cuz after all that's who we are
And now I see that's not your car ...

Human doubt
Depletes the soul
Off into the ether
Our essence flow

These things
Are invisible
Until you close
Your eyes...
Doubt
Is bigger
Than these pangs
Of life...

Doubt moves us on
While faith holds tight
Doubt lives again
Beyond the night

In worlds anew
Where creature create
Doubt is actually
An open gate

So hold on Thomas
Cause here I come
We're off to Never
Never Land
Where
I doubt
We're from

Don't let hope
Bind you here
Let your doubt
Take the wheel
And steer!

Inconclusive the evidence presented
Behind a smile a doubt remains
I shrug my shoulders
And shed my conviction
Judgments of absolution
For now abstain
Traveler Aug 2013
Sinking beneath the surface of right
Inflicted with all that’s wrong
Holding so tight to faith in love
Oh where has my reason gone

Monstrosities so real my spirit can feel
As I flee to the depths of despair
My closest friend is dying within
How long will the gods leave me here

What remains beyond such blame
Do the pieces of love simply perish
Or somehow survive as part of a hive
To sting beyond death of marriage

Capture the light of your brightest day
And store it down deep in your soul
For the night so dark that it tears out your heart
And brings you to this place down below

From here
You can only see
The brightest stars
Skies so dark
Between lights
Spread far

Way down here
Our existence stalls
Adrift this
Tiny little speck
Of a crowded
Conscious ball

Suspended in a portion
Of one of
One hundred billion galaxies

Down here it's not so clear
  What's going on up there...

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!

You better get the fact checkers
this doesn’t make no sense…
I feel the wild wind whipping
tearing through the fence…
Soon the walls will tumble
in a trembling blink of eye..
I know there’s an eternity
on each and every side!!
Traveler May 2016
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
  Just a little more air...
Traveler Apr 2013
Washed my hands in ***** water
To cleanse my deepest sins
Caught a ride on a dragonfly
Oh, the places I’ve been
Spent those days in an endless maze
LSD induced
Took my blade and cut my way
Through the issues of my youth

Deaf and blind I knew it all as I shook my angry fist
Clarity met me here at the bottom of life’s pit

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
My demon fights for love within
It’s a consuming flame that never ends

As he threw the silver at their feet
He could taste his bitter wicked deed
It festered in his immortal soul
His beliefs became his greatest foe

 So dare to put this to the test
And learn to love yourself the best.
Shadows of lost souls roam to and fro or move on.
Traveler May 2018
I need relief
And so I write
Inside my head
It's far to bright
Too **** loud
The voices within
I drain my swamp
Through  keyboard
And pen

Upon the screen
The origins of strife
Worms in my psyche
Crawl into life
Into your mind
Festering thoughts
Ideologies
Where logic gets lost

Only to be replace
With the latest
Headlines
I drain when I can
To keep a clear mind

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

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!

So long ago the unresolved conflict
Her pain that makes my bomb tic
The guilty demon wakes within
As I revisit my shame again

Funny that you believe
I walked away and never grieved
I wish such could be true
In these nights I dream of you

Morals that itch beyond a scratch
Dream which summon my demons back
The unforgiven can never rest
Perhaps you dream, in peace I guess
Traveler Sep 2018
I think to myself...
That could have been
One of my children out there
How swiftly
Death can strike
Behind our backs
Beyond our sight

As I tuck my children in
I kiss there eye lids
To fill their dreams with love
Thankful for another evening
Generous is their hugs

As another day slips away
So heavily we hold on
With love as big as the universe
We dream into the dawn...

Traveler Mar 2018
I fell in love within a dream
It’s the damnedest thing!
A lady I’ve never ever even seen
Somehow I knew we were meant to be
And somehow I’m sure
She’s somewhere out there, looking for me

Of course infatuation plays the biggest part in this
I wouldn’t believe that she exists but my heart insists
She’s so deliciously wild yet elegantly tame
Her beautiful eyes drive me madly insane

All these emotions emerge from this lucid dream
Yet I can hardly describe what this most lovely lady really means
In my heart she’s hope in a world grown cold
In my passion she flames igniting my soul
In my mind’s eye she’s perfect, pure, and free
She’s obviously the fulfillment of all that I need

P.S.
She's a Poetess also!

There was a line
Of word design
I had in mind
To write

When open wide
My four o'clock eyes
In the slumbering side
Of night

In the clear of dawn
The words of songs
Quickly pass on
To rain

Where do epiphanies go
When energy flows
Off on down
Dreamy drains
...

Deleted from the mind

It's a bit cold and drizzly out tonight
The summer grows restless and wild
My hope runs away out of my sight
Chased by my inner lost child

I wish to cry but my tears ducts are dry
I can only feel life through my pain
As my body grows weak my heart sadly beats
And tiredness bleeds from my brain

I'll save my voice for no one will hear
And even fewer can truly give a ****
The drizzling rain is falling in vain
For happiness has gone on the lam
Traveler May 2018
Once I found
The greatest love
The greatest love of them all!
I swerved and I curved
I stumbled and I stalled
I embraced merely the essence
The goal of it all
But then I lost my grip
And I dropped the **** ball...

The consent for war
is constantly being manufactured
and simply fed to the sleeping masses…

nor our societies…

We are mere humans
and war is a drowning pool!

Every once in a while
I write a poem about you
I wonder have you ever read
I rhyme vague subjective truths
Like your heart must
Somehow be dead
Time she's a ticking
And truth is a sea
And you're still drowning
And drowning me...
Traveler Tim
Traveler Feb 2020
No need for us to be
let go the tourniquet
let us bleed
a dark prayer
no candles flickering
deeper now
slow your dripping
coagulate your heart
release your bowls
and let us part

Now that wasn't so bad...
Your still breathing?!
are you mad!

Did you escape the pain?
defeat the sorrow?
We can always try again tomorrow.

When we laugh
We forget ourselves
Resentful hearts
Collecting dust
On life's shelf
The shining of our souls
Fails to illuminate
The black still buried
In our pockets
In time care will fade back to gray
If you recall
You lost me somewhere along the way
Silence overtakes me as the song ends
Soon enough
Restless heart's shall grow resentful
Once again...

Last year’s leaves incapacitated in an icy grave..
Burly cattails poking up through the surface of the icy lake.
With my back  on the dock my feet resting comfortably
on the bright reflective white ice, from here I write.
The air temperature at 40 Fahrenheit seems like summer,
I soak up the beautiful rays while fumbling with my device.
Two Canadian snow geese fly over honking
catching my dog and my attention, our eyes follow their flight.
Green, grey and brown quacking  mallards swim along the melted shore line, it's mating time.
Puffy black squirrels hopping from tree to tree a jungle gym
high above in the forest canape. Over. way over on the other side of the lake I see deer near the shore line. I try to bring them to my dogs nearsighted attention but only my human eye can see.
Today the world looks beautiful from these poetic eyes.
