SHARE AND RUST
Traveler Jan 2019
SHARE AND RUST
I have nothing to say
This world is not going my way
Where I'm broken
No words can be spoken
No thoughts
No prognosis
No haircut
No shave
****!
Forgot to take a bath
Again today!

There's to much
To discuss
Within a poem
There's a lacks of trust
Unfortunately
Writing
For me
Is a must
So I share and rust!

SHE
Traveler Jan 2014
SHE
Into my ear she whispers
Such thoughts I can't define
Days I've lost forever
Moments get trapped in time
Her love has so many meanings
My life has so many stains
My heart is in need of cleaning
As she causes it to rain
Her breath of life I'm breathing
She supplies the light I lack
If I lose my way tomorrow
Her light shall guide me back
She is the queen of mystery
Her energy is where I dwell
Her ways are far beyond knowing
To a heart that's hardened by hell
Yet in my soul she lingers
My doubts she understands
My heart she made of star dust
And formed within her hands
This lesson that I'm learning
Things are rarely as they seem
She opened up my eyes to hope
And renews forgotten dreams
Written to my lady, 2006 (her favorite)

SHELL SHOCKED
Traveler Apr 2015
SHELL SHOCKED
No child should have to
Look into the face of death

Not even the child within
Can know they're self-prepared
Some shocked stand staring in air
Perhaps the lucky ones
Quickly integrate despair

Some stand strong quickly moving on
Dissociating to get the job done
And now my psyche's on the run
At the sound of breaking bones
And the sight of blood and guts
A hundred years later
The fallout is quite abrupt...

Shepard Mindedness
With watchful eye
He is beyond fear
no need for worries
he focuses on the paths
He knows how he severs
….
All those communes
Those heard,
packs and flocks
All exist in low contrast
knowing not that they also
are the true faces of god!
Will their illusions ever pass…?

SHE REMAINS THE SAME
Traveler Mar 2017
SHE REMAINS THE SAME
From here
Things are just fine
I go with the flow
Most every time

But I don't understand
How you remain unchanged
Never able to escape
The addiction stage

Hell, we were junkies
In our prime
How many times
Did I lose my mind

Before I decided
To get it right
How can you still
Be living that life?

What the hell went wrong
With my ex-wife?

SHE’S BECOME DERANGED
Traveler Sep 2013
SHE’S BECOME DERANGED
Washed up on the shores of life
His sorrows just begun
He lost his life and family
While wallowing in the ****…

Too late now the dog you beat
He’s tasted blood before
Lust stabs deep the hungry beast
Rots his very core…

No rest for the wicked
And the millstone ceased to grind
Tear the poor sap open
And there’s no telling what you’ll find…

Blinded now Oh Jezebel
She wonders why you weep
Taking aim to avenge
The heartaches that she seeks…

Denial won’t hide the feelings inside
For the victims that you’ve slain
Therefore he’s become the whipping boy
And she’s become deranged…
WHAT?

SHE SEES IN ME
Traveler Jul 2017
SHE SEES IN ME
She says
She sees darkness
In my words
A tent of rage
Abandonment, desert
Missing pieces
Of my being
Yet I'm not quite sure
What she's seeing

Perhaps my muse
Is somehow confused
And third eye blind am I
'Cause the things that lurk
Within my darkness
Are whats keeping me alive

SHINE!!

SHINE!!
I am not the sun
of desert rags
I am not the one
who burns your ***!
I am not the sun
of some holy war
burning in heat
for my brother's *****!

I am not the sun
that starves the north
the tip of the iceberg
chose his course...
I am not the sun
in love with lands
all the Amazons
and southern islands...

I am the Sun
I do not rule
I am but a star
Who's light shines true!

Shining
There’s a new star a’shining,
So why!
Why can’t you see it?
We’re finally arriving
This golden plateau
Beyond shifting paradigms
The fruit can not completely please
Without the knowledge
From the forbidden tree
The star is shining bright
So why can’t you see?

Shiny Spun
Traveler Feb 2021
Shiny Spun
The vortex of the cloud dragon
has swallowed up the sun
His heart burns with fire and rage
his tail is shiny spun...

Fortunately
My dreams cling
to silver linings
No Dragon can keep
my love from shining!

Life is either worth living
or you plainly wish to die
Poetry is a magic carpet
And so our spirits fly!

SHORTCUTS

SHORTCUTS
Shortcuts
And illegal turns
Sooner or later
We all get burned
The bleeding heart
Refuses to wait
Busts right through
Those pearly gates
And out pours pleasure
(Of course)
Beyond measure
But behold in the end
  Lives greatest treasures
  Is a good friend...
A shortcut poem
Pleasure
Measure
Treasure
And off I go
Where maybe
I'll take some time out
And write a proper poem.

SICK MUSE
Traveler Dec 2016
SICK MUSE
There's a sick muse
On my back
On the blind side
Of my matter of fact
The hatter, the victim
The stabber in back
There's a sick muse
So cut me some slack

There's a sick muse
That never knew love
I fed it, I felt it
I held it above
There's a sick muse
Who only knows pain
Sooner or latter
   It all slips away...

Sick Muse is a song by Metric

Sight
Traveler Oct 2019
Sight
I wish she shared my sight
To see beyond the veil
To share my outrage
To recognize our hell

Global are my views
But she just sits at home
Watching CNN
In the propaganda zone

Evil is our government
An American has no say
All the wars abroad
Are illegal on their face

The deep state runs the president
The one percent renowned
There’s dark money in our politics
Our politicians are but clowns

This is not a conspiracy theory
This is all our fates
Close your eyes turn on Fox News
And pretend America's great

SIGN ON THE DOTS

SIGN ON THE DOTS
(Dear Poetess)

What is your
Greatest desire?
Pitch me now
Your unbridled plea
I can give you
Anything you want
If you give me
What I please

No worries
No limits
No depth to deep
Awake or dreaming
Or while you sleep
Oh the sins
We shall heap
When
Your soul
Become
Mine to keep

Oh dear Poetess
Just sign here
I will lead you
Beyond despair
In to a world
Of whips and chains
Be my lover
In burning flames
Together we shall
Rule beneath
Emerged in the passion
  Of your most wicked beliefs...

SILENCE
Traveler Jun 2017
SILENCE
Giants in the land
A hint of the blood
Of an Englishman
Footprints on
The battle grounds
Death and destruction
Make another round
An eye for a blind eye
No one gets out alive
News at four
And more at five
How can our
Morals survive
Feeding a war machine
With innocent
Lives
Our silence
Lights up the night!

SILENCE THE NIGHT
Traveler Dec 2016
SILENCE THE NIGHT
Silence the night
The thunder of war
Explosions on camera
   Bodies and gore...
Displaced people
With nowhere to go
Violence and hate
   At its lowest of lows...
Silence the night
Steady and long
Why do we allow
   This night to go on...



I arranged these words
In a emotional array
To match the hue
Of the color grey
Seasons Greetings
Worlds apart
May the night be silenced
Within your hearts
...
Traveler Tim
Very unrestful season I'm afraid.

SIMILARITIES

SIMILARITIES
Greed
The consumer of life
The hungry be ******
Gold brings gold
The Poet bleeds
With hourglass sand

Time's direction
Is no return
All the stages
Of live and learn
A blink of an eye
For what we deny
A sigh runs deep
For every white lie

Yet still we turn
In perpetual motion
Collective souls
In similar oceans ...

Simple Easy Love
Traveler Feb 2020
Simple Easy Love
Love wears me out
'cause
I have to give it my all
My doubt fears an ending
My shadow is ten feet tall

Worry cripples my passion
For I've lost lovers and friends  
So I love my guitar, I love my dog
With a heart that never mends

Love is an ache in my chest
The memory grows less and less
Of what robbed my life
And left me to grieve
So now
I love my truck and my TV

And hold it there

SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE
Traveler Nov 2016
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE
It's so hard to say goodbye
Hearts get broken
Tears get cried
It's been that way a billion years
There's just no way
To stop those tears

I'm so tired of letting go
Of all the dreams
We'll never know
I wonder why the hurt lasts so long
It's been years
Since you've been gone

It's not so easy to find new love
That special someone
That fits you like a glove
I guess my heart just won't be tamed
It always pours
Whenever it rains

It feels so good when things are fine
Two people treating
Each other so kind
Drawn like moths into a burning flame
A billion years
   And nothing ever changed...

Slow blues out of d minor.

Sister Swap
Traveler Sep 2018
Sister Swap
I can’t believe you could be so  extremely unfaithful to me
You’re almost my brother
Is my wife up for grabs on the side

Something I never told you buddy oh pal
Once when I was working with your wife (My sister in law) she questioned me about her attractiveness  and how **** I Rated her to be
I knew right then your beautiful wife wanted a kiss from me
I’ve watched her for so long, after all she is my sister-in-law. Yet I’ve seen her clear,
And because of you I kept my distance
A gentle man
Gives no resistance
If you do have my wife
I assure you
Your beautiful wife is mine!
You can have her back later
And one of my future rhymes.

SKANKY DIRTY WHORE
Traveler Aug 2014
SKANKY ***** *****
(Hang in there, I'm just having fun)


Spirit of Vulgarity, have you chosen me
Colors fill my rainbow that only freaks can see
A spectrum of obscenities indecently displayed
I hold to my dysfunction and take it to my grave

Searching for such comforts I've never known before
Like taking pleasure in my own skanky ***** *****
Just to get even with the balance of my misgiving
I fear not the judgment in this death defiant inning

Let love flow through my veins but lust feed my needs
And you my love could come and share in my ***** little deeds
In a hell made for two we’ll burn forevermore
That’s if you’ll be my skanky ***** *****...(:

Slay The Beast
(censored)
It don't matter if you chop the head off the beast, the head keeps growing back. Changing from blue to red now back to blue, evil is clearly on track.
Yet how many more heads do we need to chop, to **** the beast and make this stop?

No need to censor the sword,
it's simply a gift from the Lord!

As I awake

But feel nothing
But the sting
Of being stuck
In slumbering...

SLEEPLESS IN SOBRIETY
So familiar these roads I travel
But where does reason lead
Now concrete which once was gravel
That's all that remains of my beliefs...

The mysterious remains as is
A ghost of a chance I may be right
There's more to ponder obsessively
Upon my bed late at night...
Use more then once

SLEEPYHEAD

SLEEPYHEAD
This world can causes such sadness
Such suffering I cannot bear
Yet I drove her to her madness
And then I left her there

Close the world, shut out the sky
Allow this day to pass and die
‘Til the dreamer drifts to sleep
Take it now this soul you seek

Your eyes ask the questions why
My shame has no answer
She haunts me late at nights
The tiny little dancer

So far from being whole
Now my days are growing cold
Won’t be long until the reap
Now the dreamer drifts to sleep

Slip Slide Stumble

Slip Slide Stumble
A life time of love
Can so easily slip
Beware of greasy palms
In your lover's grip
The jungle is full
Of tar pits traps
Hold on tight
I'll pull you back

Beware of the lions
Tigers and bears
Don't be a snake unaware
Tarzan the great
King of the jungle
On a slippery vine
He'd simply be Dumbo
Sooner or later we all stumble

Unworthily
Selfishness and greed
Such provisions
On this journey
No Traveler needs

SLOWLY THOUGH
A Long,
Long time ago
When I was raring
And eager to go...
I took it every way
But slow...

But now it's later
And I'm feeling rather high
Actually, I would slowly
Like to rock you
Into to my sky

Reaction fulfill
Performance and thrills
Selfishly given in flight
There's no hurry
Perhaps a flurry
I'll be driving tonight

SLUGS
Traveler Oct 2017
SLUGS
Once I drowned
In worms of madness
A slithering slimy mess
Burrowing under
I often wondered
Why I'm festering
In these regrets
The appeal of filthy
Somewhat smelly
Deteriorating flesh
Thick and gooey
Soft and chewy
Warm and sticky wet
Although I love you
As bad as I need you
I wish we'd never met
Still we're steady moving
Slow and sluggish
As wormy as it gets!

SLUMBER AWAY
Traveler Sep 2018
SLUMBER AWAY
My dear friends
Go on and enjoy yourselves
Slumber the morn away!
It seems early on Saturdays
I've always far to much to attempt to convey

While my few kind heart-ed followers
Tend to sleep their mornings hours
Peacefully in and out of REM
While I'm at the computer rhyming again...

It's late
You passed your chance for early waking
Hell you miss out on a great early baking!
And now it's far past time for eggs and bacon
The munches, as you can guess
Have all been forsaken

And what did you achieve
With extra sleep
Morning dreams of distorted thoughts
Poetic themes now subconsciously lost?

I know, I know
You made wonderful love the night before
And you need your beauty rest
I read your writing, I get it
you are so blessed!!!!

I went to bed alone and played
With the thoughts of someone wanting me
I wish my poems could reflect
But all they do is bleed

How I envy all my followers
If I offend
Give me a holler
You've been hanging out late
With a habits to itch
We all have a role to play
Unfortunately  
By the time you get around to reading this
I'll either be asleep
Or on my way!

SMOKE AND NIGHTMARES
Traveler Apr 2016
SMOKE AND NIGHTMARES
Rungs on the ladder
Where my life began
I talked with God
I rarely sinned
Just a troubled child's
Imaginary friend
Yet I turned to God
The self comfort within

When I turned
Young man
I searched again
In every church and bible
To find my old friend
I searched at the Buddha
Zen and then Tao
Deepak Chopra
Wasn't my style

Science was my nightmare
It made perfect sense
So I turned to philosophy
Now I'm on the fence

Yet how could a young child
Ever have known
That all those miracles
Were mere tricks of the souls...

SNAKEBITE
Traveler Mar 2017
SNAKEBITE
Took the serpent for another ride
Is it brave to want to die?

For those of you who follow maps
The serpent symbolizes my relapse

His day of judgment he demands
That's if his rider still can stand

His poison venom haunts my dreams
Like the pain of losing a lover brings

I wake up lost deep in the night
Realizing I'm alone in this vicious fight

Letting go can be so hard
For those of us who've gone to far

SNOW QUEEN
Traveler Mar 2015
SNOW QUEEN
She bound my soul in the frozen tundra
A thousand years I lay waste
My ship and crew had long since perished
My guardian angel without a trace

Frostbitten bitter arctic memories
Flee the howling changing wind
As she cast eyes on the nearest star
To steal the fire held within

Days of our youth freeze then crumble
Innocence fading shortly dies
Remainders of our icy palace
And a heart deceived in frozen lies

I pity her now as my soul thaws
To a world where warmth is in season
Yet there’s always a shiver when I remember
How quickly love changed to treason

Where have you been
Haven't seen you

At the helm
But here you are
Again at last
And...
The dogs of doom
Are on my ***

SOLITARY RAIN
Traveler Feb 2016
SOLITARY RAIN
When she comes home
I change the music that's on
She doesn't know I cry
I can't understand my own emotions
And I'm afraid she might ask why

Why I can't sing without chocking
Why my eyes water and I become quite
It has to be tied to some sissified weakness
I can still hear my father say...

Some wall built a hundred years ago
Built between yesterdays regrets
And a thankful heart
To have survive with mind
Somewhat intact

Perhaps under my music
Is where I buried yesterdays pain
But I can't help but drown
In my own solitary rain...

SO LONG ZIGGY STARDUST

SO LONG ZIGGY STARDUST
R.I.P
David Bowie
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble
Like a flower

He sang about me
Through out my life
I was that
Young American
In those
Golden years
Going through
Changes

I'm never gonna
Fall for Modern Love
It walks beside me
It walks on by
Gets me to the church on time
No confession
No religion
I don't believe in modern love

His word told my story
We pass upon those stairs
Spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
This Man Who Sold The World

Rebel Rebel
How could they know
Hot ***** I love you so
Sitting in a tin can
Far above the worlds
Planet earth is blue
And this time it's you
My kindred spirit
Traveling on ahead
Ziggy played guitar
And drew my tears
As we sway through the crowd
To an empty space
Under the moon light
The beautiful moon light
I'll miss you friend...

SOLSTICE
I hope you have
A happy birthday
You never let me know
Born on the longest night
Severed from my soul

But I was first
To see your eyes
And feel your misery
Now you hide deep inside
But you could also leave

I'm sorry I went away
The choice was never mine
But if I had but one wish
I'd hope you'd read this rhyme
