Dear Sally:

     Hi! I see you stopped by my page, you're always so thoughtful!
And I did stop by your page, you know, to see what you've been up to lately.
      Unfortunately, yet fortunately, I ran into all my favorite HP Poetess and poets that you so kindly re-posted. And so after reading down your list and commenting and liking all our wonderful friends' poems, I realized I never found your poems.
      Anyways, Thank you Sally for giving me a new home page to read my faves.
       Seriously though, you are very awesome and have a wonderful heart!

Sincerely Traveler
                  Tim
Thanks to Denel, Pud, Eddy and the list goes on!

Oh that I were the lucky one
beneath the Serengeti Sun

And you my South African princess
If you'd only lower your defenses

On a safari
We could go
In a land
Where romantic ink flows.
Or Zimbabwe.. (:

Dad,
where did we come from?

Its actually simple.
We are pieces
Of cosmic debris,
that broke off a giant star.
A star that was among
a large cluster of planetoids,
held together in a gravitational field.
A place we called home,
The Milky Way Galaxy.
Which is a part of our
conscious universe.
It’s all made up of of 30% matter
and 70% dark matter.

And it’s possible
that it all
came from another dimension.
In a instant known as
The BIG BANG!
What’s so hard about that question?

Now ask me a hard question
like why do people have to suffer?
And I would answer you,
so that we may live in poetry!

The world around me, so lost in chaos
I wonder what this day shall bring
Perhaps tragedy or heart throbbing sorrow
Perhaps plan old-fashioned suffering

I wonder where you’ll be tomorrow
For today I’m forced to let you go
The center of my world's gone missing
Deeper than my Poet soul

I send these messages via telepathy
And hope someway that you might hear
I send my love via angels
Who touch my pain and disappear

Vanished now our unresolved love
Broken now my forgotten soul
All my knowledge and all my wisdom
All adds up to letting go...

Fight it!
If you can beat it
You will be whole!

Face the tyrannical
With promiscuous
Grit and grin
With crooked teeth
Win the the final match
Take it to your wits end

There is where the hero will begin
Such a lovely wonderful liberation!

In the muck of wonder
We were both there
I ran my tendicle's deep
Through your carnal tares
Two amoebas thriving alive
Such poetic protoplasm
Even as parasites
We survived
Life after life!

Touch me now
If you dare
But please remember
Life an't fair
We were never meant to be
But hungry hearts need to feed
On the menu
  ***** deeds
Behind his back
I'll make you scream

And here beneath the bottom line
Your taste is finer then fine wine
The dew that drips from your peddles
Intoxicates like rolling meadows
Into the low lands I take my plunge
You are a passing lunar
Burning like the sun
I am the night
Until you come
.......

Caught in the cross hairs
Of Death's Sights
We are merely bullets
Traveling at the speed of life

A big bang of eternal flight
Endless days, countless nights
A straight shot to the end
A loaded clips of original sin

So get out there and aim to win
Take another shot and shoot again
So many bullets gone astray
Life is a gun at the end of the day
.......

I know I am out there somewhere
I’m getting closer to meeting me!
I can picture it now
Counselor teacher
Caretaker of the poor
Giver of a light so bright
It blinds the demon hoard
I can see myself beyond
The unlocked door

Won’t you come with me
Into the dark
Together we
Shall shine are part
To save the world
and find our meaning
Before the karamedic
button resets
Life being an unlocked door
Is a much better bet.

While free climbing
life’s jagged ledge
I lost hold and fell
to my death
is was at the bottom
that I came alive
don’t let this world
confuse you
life never dies
Traveler Oct 2017
Each of us
Merely players upon a page
Hidden beneath avatars
Our silly human ways

Limited by circuit
The passions of real life
Nobody is actually
Looking for a wife

Still we dream
And our passion flows
Reaching out
Our dreams
Utterly exposed

Silly humans
What do they know?

All these words
I say and throw
May they never
Hurt your soul...

I thank I forgot to take
My Prozac tomorrow
Please remind me

To take yesterday’s pills

I read a stack of psychology books
When my mind went off the tracks
Now I’m but a therapist
With a knapsack on my back

I’ve gone my way a wandering
Through the depths of misery
I come from Babylonia
With a Bible Belt
Whipping me

Borne of milk and honey
The hungry heart is doomed
Ate my cake and ice cream
Everything I could consume

Now I’m old and thirsty
Setting at this ***** bar
Looking for a meaning
Of life as yet so far

Her eyes are the rapture
Life from death she brings
Sweet Lily of the garden
What a beautiful dream

Her warmth so intoxicating
Like a season between change
Her light so consuming
Until nothing dark remains

Unfortunately Lily is my cousin
So these words I’ll never say
Sweet Lily I adored you
In a very special way…

The universe repeat my lesson so that I never forget.
My limitations are about the depth of my deepest breath.
Two lungs worth of air is all I can inhale, a minute or two of holding you in and I’m forced to expel.
I can’t make you love me, I can’t make you whole, I can’t keep you happy with silver and gold.
There’s really not much in this universe I can truly control.
Traveler 🧳 Tim

The feeling when your children fight with each other can rip you in half if you think you’re in control.
Traveler Aug 2013
When we were innocent children
In the magic stage of life
We were justified in our victim stance
That drove our need for flight
Now we answer to an inner voices
Call it what you shall
Call it Mother, call it God
Call it the lines which we tread upon
Cross we dare in our hearts despair
Still I pray not to find you there...

This is where the world ends
And I begin
So why
Are you on my cloud again?
Looking down
You only see my feet
I'm up here
You don't have to reach
Your god complex
Is not invisible
Why are you always miserable?
You forced your way
Into my rhyme
Heavy heart'd on my mind
I've no solution
Just these lines

The calling is quite clear
“wake-up the time is here”
No don’t go back to sleep
In the materials of the meek

Rise and shine
with your true kind
Claim your human needs
Take a moment outside of time
Let yer enter guidance lead!

What are your feelings asking you?
Your heart is on the line
Hear the greater calling
For we are all divine!
Traveler 🧳 Tim

“hart on the line”
I’m from the time when there were
Telephone lines everywhere in the city of Flint…
Traveler Sep 2019
It wouldn't matter
If I were me
Or somebody else
I'm self assured
In a different host
  I'd still be myself...

The same beliefs
Caught in stasis
Different experiences
Lame in different places
Hell, think of all
  The different faces...

From nowhere
To somewhere
The light grows bright
We all have it in us
To stand and fight
Don't back down
Never give in
Don't make me
Have to live again!
Traveler Tim
Traveler May 2018
If you could feel
Certain thing I've done
The rush in my desires...
I assure you most
Would cut and run
From the lake
That burns like fire

Dancing to a primal beat
Where life is trampled
Under feet
To feed the furnace
Of evermore
No time for love
Or even war

If you could see
Through shell shocked eyes
You'd know just why
I live a lie

Traveler Dec 2020
Surely the rules of life
Come with a heavy tether
Weighing us down
Tarred and feathered
To keep us safe in the wild
Calmly tamed
Mindlessness is the name
Of this dreadful game

Bring on the beast
Let loose Goliath
I am all ready bored
With our new Messiah

Give me back my bullets
the primitive said
Or perhaps I’m transcending
The living dead
Traveler Tim

My Dear Child
I realize you've pledged
To hate me forever
Engraved upon my heart
Our rope has been severed

But a man without his daughter
Is like a lame leg without a cane
I can feel your ill will towards me
As the cold creeps through my vanes

Perhaps your not my offspring
In this crazy world of chance
But I was still prepared
To be your one loving dad

Perhaps you'll never read this
And you may someday wonder why
Someone called the Traveler
Could never say goodbye
....

Traveler Sep 2017
Thankful to be alive
I am drawn to Nature's side
Fully aware of my decline
Pining away
In a beautiful rhyme

Holding tight in Her embrace
  Spiral ride through outer space
Smiles and laughter, seldom I cry
Living out Her beautiful rhymes

Caress by her soft air
Blown by her winds
Rain pouring down
Let Her ascend
All but a beautiful
Rainbow in mind
Blessed be the Pagan's
Living Her rhymes

These two old fellas
They knew all that
Scars and scandals
Fragile facts
All the years they go back

Veitnam, Cambodia
Hell they survived
On eastern drugs
So call them crazy
If you must
But these two fellas
 Don't give a ****

This guy did
Over fifteen years
In a constant madhouse
He became aware
Survival isn't easy
In the zoo of men
I held on
Most never can

Tell me about
Your lowest low
Have you ever misplaced
Your soul
Did they ever rip it out
Were you ever really whole
Living in these hells
It changes you you know

And when my eyes
Open again
There will always be light
Shining in

As Glory today

I know your heart
Is prone to sorrows

Yet life goes on

I awoke this morning
Tired and weary
The world had been spinning
Out of control
You see
I’m still waiting
For the dice to stop
To see just what I rolled
Yet I know
From years of living
That life will find its way
No matter what hand I’m giving
I am thankful just to play!

There's this crazy old Veteran
lives in an attic with his dog
You always see them walking
he loves to stop and talk
His dog will rest upon the ground
while he rambles on aimlessly
He's crazy and he's lonely
Hell! I do believe he's me

I observe reality
Then I realize
My attention gets
Fragmented
Then
Paralyzed
From the implicit
Yet more then obvious
Genocide

World News
Stations
CNN
Clever Fox
Propaganda
Hides a lot
They back the burglars
Celebrate the thief’s
Manufacture consent
Without relief
Without regret
Same as MSNBC
Not a single moral left!

Two rough looking fellows
On their way down
**** and ******
In their vehicle was found...
A feeling of sadness
Because that was once me
Oh how twisted
City life can be...
And then a young mother
I've been her before
A broken ******
With love at the core...
A slave to madness
Chasing a rush
Strange how fast a life
Down the toilet can flush!
Traveler Tim

I drink a little..
Blessed to have left the rest behind!
Traveler Aug 2018
I wish I didn't know why
Yet crazy will have
An eye for an eye
The giving
That eventually takes
Life and love
Make no mistake!

Fear and karma
Are nothing more
Than crazies way
To Heaven’s door
Crazy teachers
Crazy test
From such labor
There is no rest!

Crazy enlightens
That is true
Crazy enough
To play so cool
While jumping into
The logical maze
Attempting to hide
Your crazy aways...

Unbridled absolutes
Existentially running free
No one can tell you
What not to believe
Harvest your values
Sharpen your heart
Don't let fears
Tear us apart...

Are known to sustain
Logic and reason
Are one and the same

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....
Traveler Tim
Traveler Jan 2018
And so it's still dark
From last night
On into today

I have yet to see
A single sun ray

Should the sun come up
Behind a grey dull sky

With not a spark to guide
My wondering eyes

Poetically blind
I try with all of my might

But I can't find nothing
Not a single thing to write

   Blinded by
This long winter's night....
Traveler Tim
Traveler Nov 2018
This is indeed a poem
But...
It's actually all about me
A selfish sort of plea
I want to be loved
And no offence my friend
Not just by your invisible
Being from above

Rather the fleshly kind
Two sets of bedroom eyes
Two hearts intertwined
Two souls living
A beautiful rhyme
In and out of time

Then again, I'll accept
Any kind of love
My empty hands
Can actually touch
Even a traveler
In his long journeys
Could use a crutch
.......

As she comes into focus
I lower my eyes
I pretend not to notice
The desires of life
Be still my heart
In your broken walls
When it comes to love
My soul has been lost

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...

A poison mixed with selfish bliss
Safe, yet afraid of what we might have missed
Such answers dangle before our eyes
Our faces closed tight in foolish pride

IF ONLY WE COULD
REACH BEYOND BORDERS
IF ONLY WE KEEP
MOVING FORWARD

While we pretend not to notice, they die in vain
  She was but a young ******* a runaway train...
Is it fear or hate that feeds the cruel
Innocence perishes when supremacy rules...

Fear and oppression, stubborn as a mule
Poor and hungry beg, borrow and steal
Blinded by the greed of a broken land
As another lost child slips through our hands...
Traveler Tim

The interesting thing about this song is it came to me in a dream. Strange enough, in the dream I was on a train and turned the intercom on, Shakira was singing this song. The chorus line was her words or moreover, my imagination. Thank you for reading.
Traveler Sep 2018
Slowly my imagination fades
That creative side of yesterday
I bid farewell with kiss goodnight
Sadly I've lost my poetic sight

Oh but I remember when
The words would come
And have no end
An expression of wounds
The darkness within
But even the poet
Must someday mend

Did I tell you my truth
Did I tell you my lie
Does it matter to you
If I keep it inside

We all get to know
These things in the end
Does it matter to you
If I only pretend

I read what you said
About writing the truth
And how
Creativity is measured
Under your roof

But here in the real world
There's no reason or rhyme
Why must you be
Yourself every time?

Sure
It all sounds good
The rules that you make
Stuck in your boxes
Lost in your faiths...

When I was lost
It often rained
The Sound of Silence
Magnified my pain

Got turned around
Couldn't find the path
It started getting dark
So I lit the map

The heart beats stronger
When panic sets in
I found the cave of destitute
But I couldn't find Zen

To and fro I travel
Yet I find no place to rest
My heart is but a shadow
Darkness with a breath

Home is but a memory
As I lay upon hard ground
And dream of ancient glories
When I was once renowned

Now I am forgotten
Demonized by lore
Cast into a hell dimension
Just beyond life's door...

I wrote this laying on a hard mattress in the joint
with 17 year held over my head. I end up doing the whole 17.

Forgetful mindedness
And a feeling of dread
Suffocating poetic thoughts
Upon my bed

Morning words
My poetic views
Write them down
Break the rules

Every word
Every rhyme
Every passion of my mind
Written down
Line by line
Written down
And
Lost in time

Traveler Tim
Traveler Feb 2016
In a clear cosmetic inclination
Of my vast amount of limited intelligence
I resolve what's known to sever the connection to oneness

With my passive excessive alarming calmness
I hide my humanistic conflicts in an unconscious state

In the compression of unreleased hostilities
I combat my unreserved civilities

In a melting *** of unreasonable measures
I find sensibility has lost its pleasure...
Traveler Nov 2015
Words that lead
Down paths of bliss
Awaken the soul
To the poetic gift

Thoughts so deep
The voice defines
Merge from the ether
Line after line

As if a lingering spirit
From some past life
Never published
In the public light

I search for pen
In memory plight
Another opus
Gets lost in flight...
