IDEOLOGIES

IDEOLOGIES

Ideologies
Plague the heart of hearts
I'm afraid we've been
Taken advantage of
Blind sided
Somewhat deceived
From the very start
From Jesus to romanticism
Love is larger than life
Surely there can only be
Magic in bed with
Ones own wife
And no other pleasure shall
A mortal dare embrace
For-bitten fires that burn
Out of their place
What then?
The cave compels
Shall we retreat
Into our own hell's
Or redirect
Our piece of mind
From ideologies
That keep us blind

I Don’t Follow Scripture

Traveler Jul 6

I Don’t Follow Scripture

I don’t believe in the Bible
But I do believe in God
I won’t throw God away with the Bible,
nor the baby with the bathwater.

The Bible teaches judgement and separation…
I believe in forgiveness and togetherness!
My love has no restraints..
Scripture is something I ain’t.

I DON'T MIND

Traveler Jan 2018

I DON'T MIND

Dear Liz

I don't mind
When you're weak
When my ear is what you seek
When your voice
Is softly spoke
I don't mind
Your subtle strokes
I'll be here again today
Cause you take my breath away

IF I COULD INTERJECT

Traveler Aug 2017

IF I COULD INTERJECT

In the shadows of forever
Where we hide
Our wildest dreams
I pen the thoughts
Of us together
Sailing on eternal seas

Bare your words
In naked splendor
Upon the page
Let them see
Soft and sweet
Hard and tender
But Save some
Private parts for me
...

Traveler Tim
Two to one
Sounds fun!

I FIND THAT I NEED

Traveler May 2017

I FIND THAT I NEED

Can you imagine
What I might look like
Have you any idea
Of who I might be
Filled in with pic's
From your minds eye
A poetic soul
Is vividly seen

I can find no need to hide
Behind the silence of the whisper
Blinded by a need to cast a spell
Upon the listeners
The flowing thoughts
That I must convey
I find that I need
To live this way

IF IT COULD BE

Traveler Apr 2017

If it could be
I'd live another
Drawn out mystery

Written like
A timeless novel
Infused in love
Let misery follow

Passionate life
With dreams alive
No need to wait
For the other side

Right there and then
Just like here and now
No need to live
Up in a cloud

If it could be
I'd set you free
And teach you
How to fly

To a place
Just out of reach
Where no one
Has to die

IF SO THEN

Traveler Dec 2020

IF SO THEN

If...
The engine of the universe
Is
Mathematical in nature

Then...
The circuits of consciousness
Are
Fundamentally incomplete

There is no scientific definition of consciousness

Reality is bleak
In the eyes of a scientist
Drowning
In the laws of physics.

Traveler Tim

I was talking to a scientist associate of mine.

Is love irreducible
Or a simplistic neuron??

IF YOU CHOOSE

Traveler Apr 2017

Would I
Should I
Could I be
The kind of spirit
That you can see
In your life
In your face
Or would you
Leave me
Out in space?

All the gods
live in a zoo
In the heavens
On display for you

I HATE STUFF

Traveler Aug 2016

I HATE STUFF

I really hate
My cell phone and keys
I lose them like they are part of me
Sunglasses, hats
And four wheel drive trucks
I guess I'm afraid of getting stuck
I gather up my materials
As I depart my cave
I get weighed down in my travels
Like a medicated Sage
But when I arrive
And the weather turns
I'm always ready
With a joint to burn!

I Like A Doll

Traveler Nov 2021

I like a doll
who’s cottony soft
One setting up straight
with her prissy legs crossed!

I like a doll
with a silent scream
when you wind her up
and pull her string!

I like a doll
who’s love knows no end
I love a doll
anytime I can

I like a doll
reminiscent of times
back in the days
when you were once mine

I LIKE YOUR'S BEST

Traveler Jan 2018

I LIKE YOUR'S BEST

As if a giant wand
Pointed down from the sky
In a big bang your soul
Magically arrived
I fell down
To my wandering knees
I've never felt a soul
So lovely indeed...
In the simple proximity
Of heaven on earth
Beautiful creatures hath
Creatively giving birth
Dreams in the flight
In the hours of rest
Passion that peaks
In a flash of the flesh
Surely your poems
I like the best

ILL IN ME

Traveler Aug 2019

ILL IN ME

Pain grounds me to reality
I can feel it while watching TV
Pokes and prods
Will you please
Figure out
What's ill'in me...
Take some blood
Hypnotize
Figure out what will not die
Blame it all on yesterday's
Disruption is the final stage
...........................................

Traveler Tim
If "Yesterday" accepted the blame
Wouldn't yesterday own it?
It would become Yesterday's blame!

That's why it's good to keep it simple.

I'll Say It!

Traveler Nov 2015

I'll Say It!

With mixed intentions
Of fire and ice
You better take cover
You better think twice

The wheels of madness
How slippery they slide
All around the U.S.
Officers losing their minds...

Cover ups and questions
In the media eye
Turn on your body camera
And get in line...

With all due respect
If you're covering up for your cause, you're a mobster.

I"LL SAY NO MORE ABOUT IT

Traveler Dec 2018

I"LL SAY NO MORE ABOUT IT

I refuse to deify
The leftover ******
With little respect
To his blood stained hands
Atrocities surround
His eccentric dead soul
Who killed Kennedy
Most of us know!

I'LL STILL BE HERE

Traveler Mar 2015

I'LL STILL BE HERE

Spent many days waiting
Then I felt I could do better
So I decided to move onward
And wrote my final letter

I’ll be here with arms wide open
If you ever feel the need
To get to know your father
Or trace your family tree

‘Cause my love lives on forever
For you and all life brings
The pain is only temporary
So never fear the sting

To my long lost daughter.

Illusion Of Stats

Traveler Sep 2021

Illusion Of Stats

The truth is…
I am penniless
I live in a small barn
in my girlfriends back yard
no running water
she lets me use her hose
I run her farm for my stay
I do own a F-150 2010 truck
she keep insurance on it for me
I spent most of my adult life in prison
people fear ex-convicts
so I have limited friends

I am the less of us
I can’t afford to donate money to Hellopoetry

Did you think differently?
well I am rich
I have love
it is all I care about
I am 59 in great health
I lift weights, run and study daily

I love my life
Do you?

Traveler 🧳 Tim

Bigger truth is I could easily go work for the man and be fat and greasy.
But what happiness would be found in such a time consuming endeavor?

ILLUSTRIOUS

Traveler Apr 2018

ILLUSTRIOUS

Her state of imperfection
sustains my desire's
Exploited are her curves
in scanty attire
Exaggerated are her depths
such invigorating designs
Dancing in a dreamscape
of intoxicating lines...

No other thought
can penetrate this trance
My heart beats a rhythmic
meditative chant
Enlightened brush strokes
of excited flesh
Rembrandt yet Van Gogh
Traditional abstract mesh...

Bought then sold
like Faustus Soul
We consult the Devil
And the moment grows...

I LOVE A GAL

Traveler Feb 2018

I LOVE A GAL

I love a gal
With big fine teeth
Long bridge nose
Blanket thief
Broken smile
She breaks my heart
I love gal
Who never farts

I love a gal
I grip and I grab
I love a gal
I’ve never had
She makes me whole
My better half
I love a gal
Beautiful ***!
And now you know
What makes me tick
I love a gal
I cannot catch

IMAGINARY POEM

Traveler Mar 2019

Imagine if this was a poem
A real poem
Perhaps a poem about
"The uncertainties of love"
I have so much love to share
And yet, I can never get enough
But my love so often
Turns to doom and despair
Imagine that
More than any soul should bear...
Fortunately
This has been an imaginary poem
I'm hoping my feelings haven't shown

I’m In My Own Way

Traveler Nov 2020

I’m In My Own Way

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.

Immortalised

Traveler Dec 2020

Immortalised

If the bottom of your feet
have such a foul stench
Then I would suggested
you’ve been walking in
The putrid pastures
of immorality.
My advice
Wear boots!

The title has nothing to do with the poem.
I just like the word period creativity has no rules

Immortal Soul

Traveler Apr 2021

When I was young and yet naïve
I was overly concerned
With mystic beliefs!
And so...
Given into corruption
Has never come easy,
Without a dopamine release
Oh yes...
I know you know.
Ya just got to take it slow
And...
Filter such things
Deep within your immortal soul

Freewill

There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance

A planet of playthings, we dance on the strings of powers we cannot perceive
The stars aren't aligned or the Gods are malign, blame is better to give than receive

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them they weren't born in Lotus Land

All preordained, a prisoner in chains, a victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face, you can pray for a place, in heaven's unearthly estate

Each of us, a cell of awareness, imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends with uncertain ends on a fortune hunt that's far too fleet

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can ****
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill

Immunity

Traveler Dec 2021

Immunity

I understand
what you’re conveying..
You’re ready when it’s time to pass…
When entropy settles into the bones
the spirit longs for another task…

I’m not ready to allow
entropy to set in yet
I have far to much love to express..

Death is a disease, I am immune!
Cause I believe in love beyond the tomb
………………………………………….

Traveler 🧳 Tim

How can I tell folks my age
that good health prevents death!

I'M NOT AS IT SEEMS

Traveler May 2017

I'M NOT AS IT SEEMS

I'm not as it seems
This DNA is not mine
I'm just a sentient being
The traveling kind

I am hardly a "white man"
Or any title you fly
I'm merely a lover
Of the human kind

I don't follow the ways
That were laid down before me
I don't believe out of faith
Logic set my soul free

I'm not as I seem
Yet you have nothing to fear
It was more than just living
That brought us here

Implicit Amendment

Traveler Feb 2017

Implicit Amendment

Repeal and replace
A two-way
Constitutional race
Realign and rotate
Put pressure
Upon the states
Information
Is sometimes fake

Even if it were true
And the other sides
Unlike us
Were winning too
It could never cure
What's ailing
The rest
Of the human zoo

Importune Poetry

Traveler Nov 2019

Importune Poetry

Heads up
We're all gonna die
Heart's finally quit
Eye's no longer cry
From our birth
It's one big struggle
Even the rich
Have their troubles
So...gender up
Take that helm
Life's too short
To simply settle
I'm talking to myself
There's no one else
More worth gunning for
Politics and Mother Earth
Will always be at war
We came alone
That's how we leave
Life began form a single seed
And empty vessel
Full of needs
Thirsty, hungry
Selfish greed
That's how we started
You and even me
But what of the other end
Do we lose
Or will we win?

Impossibilities

Traveler Feb 2021

Impossibilities

Nothing has possibilities
Where did you think
Such impossibilities
Come from?

While
Light and sound
Are measurably
Atomically associated

Possibilities are merely
The potential of dark matter
The matter of nothing

Impossibility
Don’t exist!

Traveler 🧳 Tim

Dark matter is the only thing that isn’t made out of light.

IMPROVED

Traveler Mar 2018

IMPROVED

Back when I
Was still with you
Roses were ripened
Violets were skewed
All of our love'n
Laced in lewd
Oh the things
We use to do
Acts of madness
Unnaturally crude
*******, tied down
Blindfolded moods
Lustful passions
Lacking rules
Psychedelic
Absolutes
Back before we
Became improved

Impurity’s

Traveler Mar 2020

Impurity’s

A silent star
Of our point of view
The moon
Tugging on the waters
Of youth
The sun
A burning pandemic
Of blistering fun
But we won't be here
When said and done
Not these shells
Of flesh and dung
So Beautifully ugly
This secular tongue
This Earth
Forever more
Eternity a revolving door
We’ve all been here before

I'M TALKING TO YOU

Traveler Dec 2013

I'M TALKING TO YOU

Have you anything nice to say
Or shall we stay locked in this hate maze
I'm trying but you're stuck in anger
I feel sick and I can't kick this uneasy feeling
Do you even give a ****
Do you want me to suffer
Well I am not well
And you're not helping

IN ACCORDANCE WITH REASON

Traveler Dec 2015

IN ACCORDANCE WITH REASON

First the rocks we were standing on
Became pebbles in our shoes
And with our leap of faith
Came a pile of mindless fools

It's time to redefine
The point in which
We've crossed the line...

In the absence of knowledge
Our ignorance takes the stage
One-sided points of view
Fear camouflaged by rage

I claim no label
No member or team
I gather my thoughts
From in between

As the furtherance of humanity
Spit sputters and pause
On the information highway
Let us further our cause...

INACTIVIST

IN AND OUT OF TIME

Traveler Jul 2019

IN AND OUT OF TIME

I took a little trip
To the ward
The other day
Down through
The crazy maze
The cheese trying
To persuade
So I simply explained
I am just a Poet
A little out of faze
They prescribed
Me Prozac
And sent me on my way!

Other people's hell's are worst then mine,
I just get lost here and there, in and out of time.

INAPPROPRIATE

Traveler Sep 2019

Inappropriateness
Well some insist
The cures of a Poet
The blessing of his gift
My body well normal
My mind evolved
There is no problem
A Poet can't solve

I inter the store
Smile on my lips
A big interruption
But I always insist
Excuse me I say
In an inquiring growl
Do you sell stuff here!?
As the crowd turns around

I'm never lost for words
I'm a poetic clown
Being a Poet lifts me up
When I'm down!

IN A STATE OF GREED

Traveler Sep 2019

IN A STATE OF GREED

"Blessed"
Can't help but
Trip on that word.
"Cursed"
Of course
Is quite absurd!
What we are
What we wish
Of all we'll ever be
Rearranges to fit
Rapping around our need's
We love the world
In a state of greed
"So"
Please be happy
Never die
For it'is there that
My love is tied

IN CHAMBERS

Traveler Sep 2019

IN CHAMBERS

Who would dares
To expose themselves
Too a deep
Dark Hell
Who Would dare to let
Their greatest
Nightmares dwell
Who could hold
Their voice
So as not to scream aloud!
Come and take
Your chance
I believe in true romance
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

IN COMMON

Traveler Mar 2016

IN COMMON

In the spark which ignite's
At the start of each moment
A poetic heart can be
A highly charged component

Shattered upon a million mirrors
Multiplied by a billion years
Caught in a universal struggle
Between words of love and fear

Simply placed on a spectrum wide
Between connect and the unfortunate divide
But when the spark ignite's in a poetic mind
We paint our own unique pictures line by line...

INCONSISTENCIES RISING

Traveler Mar 2015

INCONSISTENCIES RISING

I shed a tear
When Judas died
It buried my heart in grief
I had fallen in love
With an ancient lie
And drowned in beliefs

Inconsistencies
Yet devoted
I followed your deity
With selfish motives

In times of trouble
I pledged my soul
Oh how it made
So much sense
So many years ago

The distortion fades
As I bleed the light away
What is this strangeness
That my heart just can't convey

So many galaxies
I wonder where is home
So many life times
Still I feel alone...

In Debt To The Earth (Collab with ryn)

Watch Her choke as we burn Her oil
Frack Her in Her fertile soil
Festering life forms
In a enchanted garden
In debt to The Earth
No footprint pardoned..

Engorge Her full with artificial stock
Praise Her beauty
yet **** for Her bounty
What careless minds conceived
Our callous hands retrieved

INDIGNATITOUS SUM

Traveler Apr 2017

INDIGNATITOUS SUM

Forgotten now
She's no longer young
I can taste
Her name on
The tip of my tongue
I see her face
So elegant yet tired
We once shared
Her deepest
Darkest desires
Oh how I miss
That kind of fire

Dust settles in empty spaces
Caterpillars morph while lost in stasis
Stuffy moths need butterfly ***
To spread their wings
To retrieve their hum
Oh what have I become
With my indignatious sum

Inertia

Traveler Jul 2021

Inertia

I am a stallion
Beyond the bridal
I possess the spirit
Of never unravel

Round about
To and fro
Back and forth
I'm never slow

I'm prone to travel
To haunt these ruins
I am Anubis
No need of tomb

Unrest flows throw the ether
My good friend is the Grim Reaper
Opening vortex into parallel universe's
Karmic roles in complete reverses'

My covenant open ended
Try to keep up if you can
For those who lose momentum
Shall die as simple men!

AMEN!

INEVITABLY

Traveler Mar 2015

INEVITABLY

We reach the polar opposite
Our emotions learn to conform
Cold days grow longer
And shorter as they warm

Dreams get lost
New ones found
We slowly move forward
With every leap and bound

And in the end
What remains shall ascend
Far beyond our ability
To comprehend...

From birth to decay
Her judgement
Remains

INFINITE

Traveler Apr 2015

INFINITE

Passing through this illusion of reality
Far beyond the perception of logic and past
The barrier that limits knowing
I can see my quantum soul
Here the emptiness is no longer empty
The nothingness is actually something-ness
Here the building blocks of objectivity
Spring forth from subjectivity, holding no conclusion
Just endless whole parts expanding eternally!
God is a never-ending creation...

INFLUENCE OF KOSMOS

Traveler Jun 2014

INFLUENCE OF KOSMOS

To cast away them old anxieties
I stringently hold my course
Turning away from mystic deities
I only focus on the source

The spirit forms to fit
A reality that refuses to bend
And questions of our existence
Are blown by perpetual winds

Who can really say beyond a doubt
If we’re temporal or we’re permanent
No scientific experiment
Could ever positively determine it

And as we strive to understand
Just why the hell we’re here
We’re distracted by the cosmos
And the music of the spheres

I think I re PO

IN FOR A RIDE

Traveler Mar 2017

There remains more
Than simply two sides
I'm neither
A hater or unwise
And just like you

I refuse to be fooled
By any Republican
Or Democratic jive
But that doesn't mean
We're not in for a hell of a ride

IN FORESIGHT

Traveler Sep 2018

IN FORESIGHT

Before the world
Could stake it's claim
I was the first soul
To know your name
Before the stars could shine
From the blue's of your
Pretty eyes
Before the mountains
Before the skies
Far before the gods could know
I was the first one
Who loved you so!!!!

IN HER KNOWING

Traveler Jan 2014

It starts in the enchantment of her love...

In the beginning of her storm
Even the angels take shelter
A battle so fierce it rocks the heavens
The stars begin to flicker
Demand for blood shed redemption
From a race of turn-ups
Eventually life bleeds into death
Death which is ultimate in her knowing...
