Come home now
Dear lost savants

You can't save them all
It's not what they want

Weaving webs of sticky persuasion
Venomous insinuations

Looking through the dark
Of what love really means

The distance between us
Mere words upon a wing

Come back
It's a birds eye view

You've been lost
And their waiting for you

Dear lost savants
Please return

The world out there
Will always burn!

Mere shadow
   Of a lost soul...

Starving for truths
That can never be known

I was once lost you know?
Separate from us
Always to and fro

But without us
You're on your own

A mere shadow
   Of a lost soul...
The secrets of existence are not worth fracturing the world over.
Traveler Nov 2017
Can any part of life
Be larger then life
We are clearly limited
By the fires of our own soul's
Burning at their hottest
In passion's driven glow

Can anything bigger
Actually be shown
Death, suffering
Blood shed at home
Is any killer
Worth more than their cause
The tears of love
Have little time to pause
As the lottery of crazy
Extends it's odds
To a place near you
Your home and job...
...

Neil Peart inspired lyrics.
Traveler Oct 2021
A Poet’s voice is…
mountain moving thunder
when their world is threatened

A Poet’s heart is…
submissively tempered
beating love under any pressure

A Poet’s pen
can lift the world
higher and brighter
in different hues and views
of the changing skies

A Poet can fly!
Traveler Apr 2020
What has love done for me?
I can count on one hand,
four maybe five perhaps three
people who actually love me

Sad but true what has love
ever done for you?
Perhaps it’s time to make a move
Just one good lover would be enough
After all these times are getting tough

The little bit of love I have I hold dear
I take the wheel and carefully steer
What more needs to be said?
I need more love before I’m dead
Before I come back to haunt
So come and get some love if you want
Don’t roll over and go to sleep
Spread the love both far and deep

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!

Love is like a hill
I can't seem to climb
My heart falls down
Almost every time

Love is like a dream
One you can't disrupt
Love can be a nightmare
If you just give up

Love is like an arrow
Pierced  through your soul
If you pull it out
Love will leaves a hole

Love is like a cancer
From black to blue and back
Love can be a cure
But the deck is surely stacked

The world gets in the way
But love wants to go home
I take you with me
Everywhere I roam!

Love as we know it can never die
As long as we possess the ability to recall
We can re-experience every pleasurable moment
If we are willing to remove our angry walls

Will you allow yourself the chance
To remember how you felt
As you embraced a long lost lover
When nothing mattered and no one else

All the grief melts away
For those sacred seeds were sown
And all the moments of good love
Are as good as carved in stone
We store memories under many different categories, smell, sight, hearing, taste, touch and so on, the temporal lines get blurred.
That's why you have dreams of ex-lovers you now hate and in the dream you're still in love. Just something to think about.
Traveler May 2017
I was trying
To think of
The words
To convey
To explain
The reason
Why good
Loving
Fades

When up
From chance
A memory dawn
Of her and I
Before we
Went wrong

And there it was
Love's mysterious maze
If we would
Simply turn back
We could surely replay
The love we felt
In our former days
...

Can true love really ever die?
Of course, over and over
If you let it.
Traveler Sep 2024
The memories, the loving,
the longing, the dread.
The ghost of me still lives in your head.
You see me, you shutter, you stutter turn red.
The ghost of me remains undead.

Alone with him.
There’s nothings left..
My ghost still haunt
your lovers nest…

The obsessions, the confessions,
the unlearn lessons.
Until my ghost is no longer pleasant..

I will love you
From here now on
Unconditionally
Right or wrong
I will share
Your secret pain
I will ride
Your hell bound train
Down and out
Out of work
I will love you
Beyond your worth
I will love it
When you smile
I will love you
For a while
'Til the end
Where love flies free
I will love
Both you and me!

"Happy Thanksgiving"
Traveler Apr 2013
Morning glory sighs
Afternoon of rainy skies
Calm as ocean tides...

Warm mandolin rain
Hazy days of cheap champagne
Stormy thought drains...

Golden prairie dreams
Rolling hills of passion green
Restless hearts sprout wings...

Autumn colors bleed
Green, then red, then yellow leaves
Bare becomes love's tree...

Moist as forest dew
Smiling eyes when I'm with you
Rough 'til rivers smooth...

Flowers fresh then go
Lovers strive to meet their souls
Picky swans grow old...

Such will of the wisp
Through the marsh our footsteps slip
******, thorns, still we grip...

Whispering winds moan
Ghostly spirits search for home
At last, dust and bones...

Love is an anchor
To a sea that never rests
We drown more or less...
Traveler Feb 2022
If I could separate
from the folks of a lower state..
Oh how I could flow at a peaceful perpetual pace!
But I don’t believe that is why I’m here,
So ya, I’m willing to set, talk and share!
I love you humanity
have no fear!

Love unspoken
Tends to waver
A few warm moments
A few special favors
Even as the good friend
Or the teacher's pet
Acceptance may be
All you get
So when and if
I decide to show it
Unspoken or not
   Now you know it...

When my words of love reverberate
over our world of contention
Please know, I’m not trying to trick ya
with fad, meme nor poetic inventions
No, that’s not my intention

I just want to let you know
I know we don’t always agree,
and even though…
I love you just the same!

Ode to those condemned
Whose hearts are marked with sin
Who craved the light that blinds
Those poor soul's tricked by mind

From towns too small move on
From the mount to high leap off
From the world so cruel
Where hypocrites rule
Change your name
And let your heart be lost


Ode to the Lost and Forgotten
Abandon and labeled as rotten
In their hearts disappear
In their rear view mirrors
Condemned to the low down trodden...

“Never again”
Is but a moment’s truth,
There’s always
More heart to be broken
Besides
I’m not a warrior
I’m just a soldier.

I talk too much
With little words
You speak a lot
And amuse me
Please never stop

Doubt becomes apparent to the intellect
Time becomes linear mingled with despair
A mathematical description of our universe
Such a lack of comfort for anyone to bear...

No silver lining in the purity of knowledge
No true magic in the music of the spheres
No supernatural state awaits our arrival
There's no perfect day without you here...

The more I search the deeper my groan
There's no turning away from the light that's shone
The wider the span the less my life means
I feel as if I awoke from a beautiful dream...

I make low inflammation choices.
At the dinner table and at the snack bar, I keep my back straight when I’m driving in cars. I stop drinking after a couple glasses of wine, I rarely breach my usual bed time.
Inflammation is waiting for me to leave my path, an ache in my guts, a pain in my ***.
Growing old takes a well laid plan. We are not gods, we are merely humans!

I'm not trolling for feed back
No that's not why I'm here
Yet I appreciate your kindness...
My good Sir!
Your words are sweet music...
My Dear!
Actually your love is the reason
Why I'm here...

Through the buffer of these circuits
Your avatar submerges
Your words inscribed in mysteries
As scanning eye's converge

It's now or never now
To bring your words to light
Post your creative thoughts
Before you say good night

Words can love
Words can  heal
Words can touch
And we can feel

So give us your best
If you will!
Traveler Tim

Cheap rhymes
I know...
But that's how I roll!
Traveler Sep 2013
I am not real
I am only an illusion
Perhaps that's confusion

Imagine such a dilemma
All the Time believing
Yet a thought can be deceiving

Existence is subjective
This ink that you see
Isn't really me

So why be concerned
No need to discern  
Give no thought to agree...

This really isn't me.

Raddled by my rhyming words
Her rusted cage I shook
I'm quite sure it struck a nerve
Underneath she left a book
Bla, bla, bla she made no sence
As she frantically spoke her gripe
Some times you have to flush
When there's far to much to wipe...

What were you believing
A mere five years ago
Have you moved on from there
Or did it soothe your soul?

Perhaps it makes more difference
Than anyone would care to know
   But it seems the human mind
Was designed to grow...

Surely the test of life awaits
Beyond this world a deferral fate
Into an abyss of eternal bliss
   If you make some sort of list...

Thanks to the
Luck of the draw
Forty six and 2
  This is something
I already clawed through..

Traveler Jun 2013
A want, a need unfulfilled - peace is war 'cause kindness kills
Pennies tossed, wishing well - broken vow, wedding bell
Frozen lock, broken key - fallen angel, no one bleeds
Toxic air, summer breeze - running wild, scratching fleas
Knowledge gained, wisdom lost - love thy neighbor, burning cross
Happy now, ******* then - spread your legs, let me in
Smell the coffee, eat your meat - stand up straight, take your seat
Live a lie, search for truth - guilty blood stains your youth
Far too young, way too old - so naive, too **** bold
Little Goldilocks, so unique - first she walks, then she freaks
I long to feel your gentle touch - until at last you touch too much
I miss you so when you're not here - that part of you that disappears ...

We long to touch, to embrace the night
Where sin is hidden from the light
The taste of flesh, such forbidden fruit
We falls far from the vine of truth

Beauty feeds the beast that must
Consume the fire of burning lust
One gives, one takes, one heart shall bleed
One takes more pleasure in ***** deeds...
Traveler Oct 2014
What is the opposite of this desire that burns?
Perhaps a lethargic state, a complete lack of concern
If youth were lust would it desire to be old
Could you find its opposite in a heart of gold
Is the opposite of lust a feeling of grief
Is it the opposite of the word relief

If lust starts to burn will the passion be void
This kind of dialectical double-talk is only a ploy
To baffle your mind and add to your confusion
‘Cause truly, lust is only an illusion

Yet if there was a spokesperson for the lustful regime
I’m sure her words would make you dream
For all those things you desire
Until your *** awakes on fire
Traveler Tim
Traveler Feb 2019
Oh, oh please don't go
Give me one more try, please!
I'll try, I'll try to believe
Close my eyes, pretend not to see
Let your heart bleed
Bleed into me
Turn, turn my aura green
I can handle it
I'm a machine
Just a thing...
Trying to be
A human being

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

Was it ever real
The magic I used to feel
Tears fill my tired eyes
Perhaps magic was but a lie…

Music melts my fragile heart
But only to a hardened part
That place I use to hide
Until the storm would pass me by

I wish I’d never come to know
These realizations have laid me low

Ignorance is bliss – so alive in myths
Imagination is alive – don’t let it pass you by

If it were in my power
It would all be real
That is
All the magic I used to feel

Underdog was cold and tired
When he took his first red pill
Hidden within his ring
On his K-9 finger
It was quite the mighty thrill

******-Doo and Shaggy too
What's in those ****** Snacks
Up against the perils of evil
Yet the snack still brings you back

Mighty Mouse and his magic powder
He snorted magic up his nose
When I was just a little kid
So many years ago...

Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
  Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!
Traveler Tim

Hay
No matter who you are
You have my deepest respect!

Vanity
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

Joy of living shown in his smile
Still a sense of distrust lingers
Make sure it’s locked
Check it twice
There, now the smile re-emerges

Goddess in love with a man
Her hourglass spills my sand
Captivated by mortal charm
Her hunger can do such harm

Loving her feels like sin
A love that burns within
Jealousy like you've never seen
She even stalks me in my dreams

Nails down back, pulling hair
Lust bites and I don't care
Within her temple I blasphemy
And in the end
She breaks her fast for me...

Could I once fly, is this memory real
Could I lay hands on the sick to heal
Was I an Angel many lives ago
Or merely another being with a love for gold

I sensed a fall, I believed a lie
Abandon here and left to die
These wings they failed and turned to stone
Beneath a sky I'm forced to roam

Did I lose my mind, did I lose my sight
Did I lose my will to stand and fight
Against a god whose acceptance I seek
Yet now I'm stained with the mark of freak...

There I found peace
In the realization
Of synthetic euphoria
Waiting and looking forward
To the end of calamity
Serenity is kind to us
Feel the world slow down
Hear the children yawning
The weary look in the old folks eyes
Knowing too well
That someday maybe soon
We are all be moving on
In peaceful serenity

After all it didn't matter
What was said
The moment passed
As clarity filled my head

Just as always
You pulled away
How many lost souls
Did you think you could save

Oh how you failed
In times passed
How can love ever last

You survived the darkness
But did you learn to leave it behind
After all
We are only slaves
To our own mind...
Traveler Jun 2016
Even the masters
Shall suffer with the rest
It's the dysfunction
Of reality
It's the evolutionary catch

I try not to be at a loss
When the words get stuck
In my brain
But it's hard to think of one
As a master when
So much dysfunction remains

Over many trials and errors
I have managed to change
   My unwanted reactions

Allowing for
The thankfulness of life
To fill my heart
With satisfaction

Is there anything more
That needs to be achieved
Perhaps a master
Must learn how to grieve
Or learn how to face
The demons of youth
And thereby admit
Their deepest dark truths

We all have our reasons
We all have are drags
'Cause real masters
  Were raised by bearded hags...
Traveler Apr 2019
Maybe If...
I'd never been locked away
Nor faced them firing lines
Maybe if...
Everybody I ever loved
Still loved me throughout time

Maybe if...
The walls I erected
Could never fade away
Then just maybe
I'd still feel safe
In this crazy maze!

Angelical whisper
Beyond the spectrum of sound
Speaks to the downtrodden
Where brokenness abounds
Surely there must be a reason
For living in this maze
Dead ends like lost lovers
Children gone astray …

To live the life of morals
To seek out happiness
To hold a dying friend
To forgive the Judas kiss
All last but a moment
Like an eternal fleeting glance
As we pray somehow forever
   Holds a second chance...

Such an incredible deception
The many ways of the maze
The I've been this ways
And so this time bend that way
Through the contours of time
As it wears a map of straight lines
To where you're inclined
  But believe me when I drop this dime
It's only a map you'll find...

The stages of love are give and take
Such is the unveiling of our fate
Taken too many time to the brink
Sometimes the horse just refuses to drink
A broken slate yet once again clean
Is that what morality means?

The taste of death is in your mouth
From all those words you dare to shout
Come this way, go that way
Are you really afraid of doubt
What's all that noise really about?

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

I love my family
My daily meals
I love the way
Her embrace feels
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

It's not actually a flower
It's a painting of a flower
No definition beyond
The flower's we see
Out on the lawn
Merely an image
Paint fumes replaced
The charmers scent
That once
"Meaninglessly"
Drew our mates

An orchestrated opus
Of wayward heart
Galaxies of lyric-less
Wayward stars
Glimmering
From who knows
Afar
Meaningless poetry
Is all we are

Why do morning dove
Insist to sing
Meaningless songs
Birds of prey scream
Blinding beams of sunlight
Reflect off mighty seas
Blinding our eyes
Yet still we believe
What meaning has
The giant ancient trees
Majestic mountains
Purple beauties
These impressions
Of nature only define
Meaningless poetry
That beautifully rhymes
