The breaking point where one snaps
The world seems so red out here
It’s a freight train running through my head
I’ve been here before, beyond pain
Your wall is blocking me out
I can’t taste you anymore
My hands have gone numb
I’m experiencing tunnel vision
My body is shaking violently
Hyperventilation is keeping me
From crying out,
“Please don’t go”

Hyperventilation is keeping me

From crying out

“Please don’t go”
Then I wake up and it's not so bad..

We still share
Memories
I hold mine dear
I wish I'd never
Crossed you there
Still, in the end
You were never
Really mine
Except for these
Memories
You left behind

When I attempted
To explain
To him
Just exactly
Who you are
He took shelter
  Beneath our old scares...

He was there
When it all began
All the abuse
At your hands
All the morals
Swallowed up
He was labeled
The one corrupt

Now he's gone
Don't wonder why
Leave Tim alone
And say goodbye

If I could be
Simply myself
For just a moment
Or two....
Nothing fancy
Just what you can't see
Expose my ignorance to you

All my secrets open and known
Like...
God how I love to always stay ******!
All my laundry, there on the floor
    ***** dishes, no room for more......

Oh and sometimes I lie!
For insistence...
Nothing I wrote above
Is allowed in my life
I am obsessed with being clean
***** dishes? Laundry
I have two different machines

But I do love to smoke buds
After all, truth is
Writing ******
Is my love!!!

I don't fare well
In social media
I'm sure that's
Hard to stand
On a network tossed
For a common
Need for love
I'm just a simple man

Unintentional boundaries
Between you and I
But your memory lives
When the bandwidth dies...

Now I see, there it is..
The universal chaotic kiss.
Crazy has returned
in full bloom,
peace and harmony
are surely doomed…
I hope we’ve studied
for the final exam..
2025 is on the lamb,
on the prowl,
endless rain from toxic clouds..

Soothsayers and prophesy
caught in a landslide..
From here on
let tyranny be our guide!

It’s the small things
that matter
It takes time to
get them done
You must first await the
chosen moment
Never jumping
the starting gun

The policy of puritans
Police the walls of paradise
You can take your ball and go home
But you better play nice
You see...
Acceptance is a roll of the dice

An entrance with an exit
Describes a revolving door
A pattern that consist
Of both peace, love
Hate and war
To and fro
The ego goes
Reincarnated unaware
Wayward souls
(I hypothesised that last flow)

Irrelevant yet intriguing
Would be
An ending without a beginning
And so I shall begin the ending here
Universally unaware!

Traveler Tim
The objects that populate the universe are both aspiring and terrifying in their capacity to create and destroy us.
Solar flares and astroid lurking  in the darkness of space threaten our humble fragile existence here on Earth
And in the chaos, tension, conflict and social division of 2020 it’s easy to forget just how lucky we humans are to be here
But with a bit of hard work maybe one day we’ll venture out towards the stars!

Wisdom emerges, compassion transcends
Logic refuses to accept there's an end
Life seeks meaning, people seek love
It's all the way down and all the way up

Imagination stirs the ocean
Dreams surpass the sky
Words flow forever
Through a universal mind

Dizzy eyes scan the surface
Spinning world, ringing ears
Bomb shell shattered
Unknown purpose
Her mouth moves
But I can't hear

There's no comfort
out here to bask in
Angels lie and
demons laughing
Evil sings when
the bringer brings
The blueprint of
a broken dream

Clearly she played
her game
And in the end
it's all the same
And in the end
it's all the same...

Beneath the tears
That bleed fools dry
The eye of Ares dwells
Peering into eternal night
The darkest blackest hell
There be found
The wretched bound
Trapped within their dream
Whispers of madness
Within their ears
All shall be redeemed

This pretty little witch taught me this, try it!
Repeat aloud to cleanse
Evil spirits from houses and homes....

Seriously I wrote it!

Fear not to embrace
all these losses,
the disconnection is but an illusion.
Love is the Highway we travel,
we all move on in the end.
Love is eternal my friends!!

In the land of milk and honey, within the rocks, the water flows. The love of life is dangling, from a chain of forever wars…
Each a part they look away, unconcerned and unafraid.
Unaware the masses move, while their bombs drop on you.
Obscure , the hand we’ve been dealt, turn the device off, toss it on the shelf! Never mind what you heard, this world must be purged.
Purged of them over there,
Lydia, Syria how could
nobody cared?
The Nuremberg trials and **** Germany, we surely do forget.
Yet the identical road is beneath our feet, in each and every step!

I am the deafening
In the calming
Of their careless whispering
Echoing from the safe places
Of parallel universities

Mine are more
Than mere protagonist words
More than words that have less meaning
Than the eggshells
Walked upon
These are my words
  Right or wrong
And still going strong!

And I will love you all to death
You victims
You snowflakes
Young hearts of unrest
Say what you will
Let it all out
Take a big chance
Stand in your safe place and shout!

Then you will know
What free speech
Is really about!!

Under here
I disturb the senses of many
My very existence allows such
It is not light I dwell in
But sheer stagnation I call home
The newt’s eye never exposed to colors
The fungus of the darkness
Moist, cool and unseemly
Molds and mildews quite foul
Yet not for the indigenous
I am but a proud mushroom!

The world ran me down
Then ran me over
How can I mend
I just can’t think sober…

It felt like May
A cool spring day
I tried to stay
It dragged me away…

Great is the loss
Endless the cost
Clear as the sky
Lost alibi...

The witness just stares
There’s blood in the air
To the victim despair
Nobody cares…

Now love makes her sad
And she don’t trust her dad
The world ran her over
She may never be sober…
Happy holidays....For hopefully you!

The ghost warriors fought on over the centuries
Never even knowing they were dead
Valhalla, paradise of violent souls
The ancient thunder god feeds upon their eternal rage
Forevermore

I can’t conceive of a world
Where violence is a product of love
Where deception is the hand of reception
Underneath the velvet glove
We watch and learn
Until our eyes grow tired
Lines form upon our faces
And it’s down to the wire
Yesterdays are forgotten
As life shrivels up and dies
And we search for a meaning
That’s covered up in lies
What kind of love
Comes by commanding
Where is wisdom
In such an understanding

I opened a door
Immoral and vile
Less than the blink of an eye
She embraced her wild
In needles and ******
And bent steel spoons
I left her there
In her anti-social doom

So long ago
When immortality ruled
The rush of madness
That we pursued
Lost like rats
In city walls
Chasing death
Until we fall...
Some of those addicts
Will never have the will to cure their minds and souls.
Perhaps they lack what we have.
Traveler Oct 2014
Firmly established in dreamy splendor
Our streets dissipate in recap blender
These faded faces remain as gold
Springing forth with renewed soul

Can you feel my heart go thump
Within my throat I bear a lump
Of you and I when time stood still
Protruding wounds you helped to heal

Now good time - laughter echoes pass
A bridge of friendship fills the gap
Of worlds we charter by spirit will
To taste anew these cosmic meals

And so I bid you well my friend
May magic stand, reality bend...
Traveler Sep 2019
About my fears
I face my own
My heart defenses
Then turns to stone
All my emptiness
To much I hold
Please try and understand
The words of a broken man
My tears run forever dry
Yet still I lie
I love my soul
My muse is weak
And so
This poem is incomplete

From here
I touch and squeeze
Friction current
Electricity

From here I
***** minds
Smolder in gently
From behind

On your keys
I’m begging please
I can’t get my freak on
These cyber machines

From here
I can taste
Your precious pretty
I can smell your
Nitty gritty

These circuits
Flash with pixel power
Emotional dread
Romantic young flowers
And finally and for most
The connection of
Cyber ghost

I dreamt you were an Angel
From a world quite divine
A light shone all around you
As water turned to wine

You came to heal the people
Of their hatred and disease
But you turned away in sorrow
'Cuz your touch could not heal me...

It all felt so familiar
As if it happened once before
You left me in the ruins
Of this bloodstained killing floor...

It is a struggle
trying to spread this light.
Win or lose
I shall stand and fight.
Causation come
from the spirits realm,
to touch the sky
we often fail.
We can reach for limits
of human birth
or spread our wings
for all we’re worth.
I do the latter
with my heart on fire.
Cause I am the road
and not the tire.

Positively
I want to be me
I possess a loving heart
And gifted eyes to see

And somewhere between
The physical and unseen
There exist an over whelming
Need to be free
To love beyond the seas
Sometimes I wonder
Am I on my own team?

Although it's saddening
To feel self suffering
The suffering in our world
Makes my empathy bleeds

And yet
I have hope
And send it
Upon the breeze.....

I long for
What's to be
Empty still I...
Hell
Let it bleed!
Don't know the words
"And in the end"
Like some Rolling Stone
Or Beatles
Or so many
Extensions
Life is just awesome
And I am indeed free
****
That joint I smoked
Must have cured
My Misery!

Catching up
I take a crash course
The end is near
And I’m just now
Shifting geer

What is real
That can’t be seen
Ever changing
My infinite needs

It seems we can only know what it is to approach death
and not the nature of the beast itself
that awaits our IMPENDING arrival!

It’s hard to hold on
to good health and spirit
when everyone around you
have thrown in the towel.
I reckon there was just too many
painful weary miles.

In this world of adrenal rush
eat drink but don’t be a lush.
Come up for air while you can.
Don’t wear out your only hand.

**** no one and hold to your course.
Don’t get caught up in
a state of remorse.

Live in the moment
not in the past.
Such a heavy burden
a victim has had..

I'll put no one into darkness
for their experience in living.
Not while I muster the strength
for my love to keep winning.

Finality has no place in our soul's,
for those who continue on
and steadily grow.

You have drawn the extra version card
Welcome to the deck
Introverted values
You no longer can connect

Intuition, feelings and perceiving
is the game that extroverts play
Opposed to sensing, thanking and judging like those introverted lames!

If you’re not sure which side you’re on
Or if you’re out there on the fence
Do you want to be alone?
Or the party to commence!

So weep not my child
they’ll be no need for fear
God made
An extra version of you dear!

Wickedly evil!
This beautiful trip
Pretend not to notice
The tares that we've ripped
Buy another car, drink another beer
Hell! We can't even see Yemen from here!!
Saudi Arabia, indeed! one of our good friends
Global warming will be the deaths of us all
In our final bitter end!


"We need change"
Seriously!

I’m not mixed nor am I pure
I’m but an image in a mirror
As a conscious ghost
I’ve come to host
These flesh and bone sensations
Spirit trapped in skeleton
Oneness on vacation..

I share my pleasure
I hide my pain
I’ve traveled far
Through wind and rain
To be here now
With you
A utopia of truth!

The magic of the moment, appeals to the heart
The essence of self-expression, portrays in fine art
Denounced of all logic, abstract with precision
Her image appears to lack her heart's intuition
Taunted like bees shaken in a jar
The artist offends her emotional scars
A nerve twitches the soul, excites the old
A mind so wise yet feebly slow
Love as a game extinguishes the flame
A pretty girl in my picture, I’ve forgotten her name
The ways of creativity feeds a fire
Her innocence is lost in my desire
Beauty and passion, a lust to stay young
The heart beats of wonder, before the guilt comes
The wink of an angel, the cast of a spell
The adolescent fear of kiss and tell
Broken like glass, then falls to the ground
A tender young heart lost and never found
And so the artist hides behind his creation
Only to expose such vague insinuations

If I could somehow confess
My heart is fine I guess

To keep me stumbling within

Once a fire
Burning within
Two hearts

The consumption
Of the psyche
The ashes  
Where they part

Their's was a world
Of glee and grace
Hearts that beat
At a faster pace

Even though
No heart broke
Upon white lies
Their conscience
Choked

Words that fall
From lips that tremble
The eyes of hearts
Blinded in time
We were there
So far from here
In a better
Vanished mind
Traveler Jan 2017
In the eyes of a dying baby
The host that just arrived
Starving for a glimpse of living
Somewhere beyond the night

Paralyzing vanity
Hearts sinking low
These World Views
Bleed our busy souls

Here in paradise
Where we can never die
A thankful heart grows old
Finding meaning in this life

Still the suffering is persistent
In the dregs of the camera eye
How fortunate we are
   To live this peaceful mind...

She's The Mighty Phoenix
She's the elegance Swan
She's the Verses of Venus
She's the Daughter of Dawn

Remotes in her proximity
Across a dreamy grassy pond
I am the song of her destiny
I am the Lily her lotus rest upon

Dear Verses of Venus

The depth eludes
The span intrigues
The presence or absence
Of a single human gene
The hand of chance
The toss of bones
A need to write
To ride, to roam
Extroverted instincts
Introverted scares
So many different
Combinations
Of who we are
No end to up
Nor absolute down
The rules of existence
Continue to confound
Protons and electrons
With neutrons we fire
Our vibrations fluctuating
Our hearts full of desires

In stages of growth
In philosophical minds  
In spiritual realms
We are merely
Vibrations in time...

There’s many ways to say
What’s already been said
Thousands of poems
Have been wrote and read
Still I would be your brother

I would be the best friend

Our love would last forever
And ever never ends
If we could get together
We’d all be bound to win

You...
You forget, a complete lapse of short-term memory
You laugh then are overcome with anger in your drunken amnesia
It's as if you're in a state of drunken bipolar idiocy
Why are you threatening me, hmm...
Now me...
Why do I feel violent
Why am I punching you in the back of your head
What part of my human nature is causing this behavior
Even in my sober mind I'm still intoxicated
In subconscious constraints of lost innocence
I hate violence, therefore I hate a part of myself.
