And therefore
You shall be deemed
One of those
Of that wicked team
Suffer now forevermore
Inscribed upon
The Devil's door
Your wicked deeds
Your demon bites
You dare to hide
Your wicked light...

But Uncle Tim
It's only a tattoo!
Traveler Feb 2017
Do you know
How to fight
Go lay down
Or set it right

Prison *****
Or make a stand
You better know
Who I am

When
Negative energy
Strikes again
Misery
Is not my friend
I will break
Before I bend
I will break
Before I bend...

A Little "Red Hots" at the end.
Traveler Apr 2017
According to
The science of the unknown
Random samples of emptiness
Can only scratch the surface of nothingness
Depleting the distortions of invisibility
While examining the possibility of
The non-existent state
Leaving only what appears to be
Worthless ashes of eternal entropy
...
And in another related stories...

Traveler Feb 2019
Alone in this world
Is how I begin
Invisible beings
I come to depend
With belief so strong
Right led wrong
I fell to my knees
And cursed along
But it's
Too contradictory
To travel there
Mindsets that lead
Us to old fashion fears
Alone with beliefs
Of being alone
That's the true hell
That keeps me ******!
My psychologist made me ask myself "why I'm afraid to be sober?"

And so here we are
Page after page
Hearts on fire
Exposing parts unseen
Beneath harden surfaces
Wounds unclean
Broken still we dream
On and on we pen
And so we breathe again
Traveler Sep 2019
I will say this once again
If you are lonely
That’s a sin
My heart longs
My love
It runs beside me
Please
Please
Come free me
Together we will
Finally breathe

I save people all day long
Someone save me
Traveler May 2018
Blessing, I can say
I still have my share
Simultaneously
Curses upon curses
Slowly strip me bare

Beautiful dreams
Mixed in nightmarish themes  
We've all met the dark
With the voiceless scream
No one immune
To this dysfunctional maze
No one gets out alive
Of this breath taking play

Oh but from the heart of a child
It was every bit worthwhile!

Traveler Apr 2015
There remains no absolutes
In this object subjective world  
Except by dissolution
An occasional loophole
Into those "perhaps" conclusions

As the ceiling rises
On the new world poet's pen
Let our sight be open
To an existences
That hold no ends

But let us not
Carry it to far
With a mind set
Of brimstone and hell fire!

Please don’t call the thought police
I meant to say that underneath
Impeccable words I yet to own
When I’m getting really ******

Bring it down
Bring ‘er on down now!

Put the power trip to rest
We were all born with the best
Although I was hatched by a beast
You don’t need call a priest

Bring it down
Bring’er on down now

Let your blue hair down
Let that blue hair down now
Don’t be wearing no scowl
Just let your blue hair down now!

Broken in the long night
Her sad eyes turn away
Hidden in the shadows
Her phantoms of dismay
I would not pretend
To know where
She has been
Womanized
By lovers
Her scares
Deep within
But I seen her eyes
When I made her smile
And so I'll stay
For a little while

Broken mothers
trying to heal
Broken Hearts
Broken wheels
Trying to turn
Back the clock
Broken mothers
Doctor Spock

All their debris
Clusters of past
Greedy addictions
Family out cast
Broken parts
Trying to heal
Broken mothers
Silence kills

That one cold day
You were gone
Oh how I longed
To be wrong
Believing
That you could
Never return
Owning
All those bridges
Burned

If like you
I could
Walk away
Save my love
For another day
In the silence
Of forgetfulness
Sudden darkness
Flip a switch
No dread lingering
No emo unrest
Just rap it up
I've done my best

Then I would be
Broken too
Breaking all
The golden rules

Another man
I happen to love
Started to ramble
About "up above"
Starry eyed
I cut him off
He notice my mark
And turn and walked
What made me that way
He just turned
And walked away

The eulogy
Was bogus
Keeping our thoughts
Out of focus

Warning!
Not a poem for
The squeamish!
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"How it works"
Boundary lines are breached
Pain is arbitrarily served
Nerves placed on a torture rack
Love stretched in opposing directions
A new vocabulary of meaningless words
Punishing piercing looks of content
In a mindless separation
Needs remain unfulfilled
Fractured realities
Something to share
A second chances of lies
And somehow
Broken trust survives..
Traveler Tim

A walk through madness
That bleeds the soul
Careful
The seeds your Karma sows
Traveler Jun 2015
Broken wings
May never mend
Cement and glue
Long to bend

A heart abandoned
Unable to fly
To ever pass
Beyond goodbye

Frozen
In silent solitude
Hands clasped
In empty prayer
An angel statue
Time has driven
Far beyond repair

These stains of time
Upon our hearts
Wears thin the soul
And plagues our art

Of the angel's wing
I must confess
I left her there
In such a mess...

In this
Realization faze
Of this
Delicate end of madness
Momentarily
I unclench my fist
Looking down
At the nail marks in my palms
My hand transforms
Into
Giant black beetle bugs
So many bugs
All falling
To the floor
Then my arm
And then my shoulder
More and more
Squirmy bugs
Creepy crawlers
All the bugs
That make up our core
   Billions of bugs
That want to start wars
     Lots of Bugs...

I fell asleep during the presidential debate and dreamt this.
Traveler Mar 2020
I must confess
Shock value amuses me
I like to watch peoples faces
As I pull their legs
Freak them out
Blow their minds
Pull the wool over their eyes
After all acting is an approved lie
I play the cop sometimes
CAN I SEE SOME ID!!!
I'll shout
The freak in their eyes
Is what I'm all about
I see a way to put a smile on a face
I love joking
Laughing eyes glaring
People dropping their defenses
Strangers connecting
Life is precious
Bull ******* is my special gift

Traveler Apr 2016
I fell in it
A handful of times
Those burning embers
Of love and trust
The consuming flames
Of the pleasures of lust
The perpetual game
Of push and shove

I get tired
And burned out
Running from all
Life's broken rules
And after all
I don't care to revisit
Those old blues
But don't get me wrong
I'm still your one
And only fool

Because you know
Once or twice
In the darkest
Part of life
I was so blessed
To have your light!
I would never take your love for granted.
(My girlfriend edits all my poems for me)

This didn't even trend, how can it be a daily?
Thank you my cyber family!
Traveler Oct 2017
She seemed quite happy
In a talkative sort of way
She knew things about everyone
The who of who that were
On the HP stage
Crossed lovers downed in flames
Jealous, envious, childish games
Enlightening the addictive dirt    
I followed along for all it's worth
Guess I must have wanted to know
As I read her book
She exposed even my soul
So what does that make me
Seems my morals can be a bit lazy
And a bigger lesson yet
I told her stuff about myself
Has she told you yet?
Traveler Tim


What's it been about four years now?
Traveler Feb 2020
It's all but a dream
focused upon narrow  
projections of a world
forged by tainted perception.
Scrutiny scrutiny scrutiny
Fear not
For this understanding that repels logic
is slowly disassociated
by continual contemplation
hopefully to wake in the end
......................................
Traveler Apr 2019
Is reality really real?
This thing we refer to as life
Or do we dream that we were
Born and somehow managed to be
Brought up right?
Holding on to love and regret
With all our invisible might
Suffering, enjoying
Every stage in between
Sanity is fight or flight
Life is but a dream

I am but a poem
My body made of rhymes
I have been written
One too many times
Beauty I often read
Love I wish to know
You, you are an explanation point!
You let your feelings show...
But as you can clearly see
I'm a simple paragraph
Easily as I was written
I am doomed to pass...
Yet it's all been written before
After all
I am a poem
Nothing more!

Before I realized it
I had penned her wings
Down to the surface
Of my butterfly collection
   Show case...

As she struggled I thought
Oh my
I should set her free
   But I was just a young boy indeed...
Traveler Oct 2019
Before her life could take shape
While yet unable to communicate
Unable to put into words
Her pieces unable to merge

A fluttery butterfly took flight
She was never quite right
I cry to the sky in sincerity
Mend this broken part of me

And now
I cannot bare
To face the sun
To see the effects
Of all I've done
Before she was three
I broke her and me

I can not make it my lives mission
But I wish you all the best
The world is on a crash course
There's little moral guidance left

Well, I've risen from ashes
Near the dragons smoking breath
My tattoos are darkened
With both victory and regret

Honor is a level
A measurement of foolish pride
But it's also what was stripped away
When they left me there to die...

I've done to much hard time

I remember now
It seems like it...
Was just like yesterday
They shut me in..
Into this endless maze
They locked a door
Suddenly there was me!
My heart is older now
  Still longing to be free...

I am with you at
Every single turn
Set a fire and
Set and watch it burn
Someone to see you through
Until the darkness settles
Share in my deep
Raging passion
For death fracking metal
Amen!!

True! I do like a bit of the hard stuff!

I remember the cage
Soul slipping
Through cracks
Body trapped
In silent rage
I succeed
These facts
Never forget
Never get back
The less you say
The less they know
So spare the lecture
And off you go
I remember the cage!

Traveler Jul 2023
I don't get along
with my own rage
mostly I disassociate
rather then engage

Still my rage is in here
looking for a breach
of all my multi intelligence
rage is the hardest to teach!

Let me take a moment
to navigate this maze
there's so much more to living
than some festering heated rage

No one need reminding
rage can be quite blinding
but I am not a complete slave
I will keep my rage
caged!

Hyperactive all my senses
I can't shut my hunger off
I want to love all the women
I grow weary of battles lost

In sweet sunshine
I come alive
I run 'til out of breath
My heart beats wild
Mile after mile
Until there's nothing left

Laying down
I dream forever
Of a heart that beats
Like mine
Beneath dark skies
Here I lie
In the calamity
Of my rhymes

Run with the wild
Oh inner lost child
Flee 'till your heart's on the brink

Travel the stars
From the dash of cars
Hold your breath not to blink

Stellar waves of rhymes
Crashing through time
Abandoning ships once we sync

The eye within our minds
So bloodshot sublime
On the thin ice of a galactic ice rink...

How shall we contend
With emotional unrest at large
Leading us down
Roads of  madness
Coupled with delusions
Of grandeur
Holding on to beliefs
Worth dying for...

It is a very unstable world
Yet as Neil Peart once wrote
The city seems calm
In this violent sea...

Items needed
2-Red candles burning low
1-Dead baby in a pickle jar
(A polliwog will suffice)
1-Sage/***** smudge stick
1-very large imagination

Place items on
Sacrificial alter
With other
Lil forget me nots
Some incantations
Abracadabra
A wink and a nod
Can seal the
Sinister bargains

Warning
Magic can be harmful to your spiritual growth
Careful not to burn down the house!
A pollywog is a northern American word for

Off to the witches

How quickly form mind
A memory slips
Dust in the winds
A careless wisp
Not even a trace
Of a loved ones kiss

But I was there
I held you close
Of all your love
Mine was the most
You left me behind
A scab less ghost

Out here in the ether
Fond memory seether
Sleep tight my love
For I'm with the Reaper

I wish I had taught her to forgive.
Traveler Jun 2015
She believes in happy things
Invisible beings with fairy wings
Fluttery butterflies make her dance
An endless game of happenstance
Eyes of wonder, transparent soul
The world is cruel but she doesn't know...

She greets me with smiles from ear to ear
To hold her heart I solemnly swear
Gentle touch soothes the soul
In her presence I turn to gold
She holds my restless heart at bay
As she executes her innocent ways...

Her plans get lost in the making
A pouty face when she's faking
Empty cups of invisible tea
Cartoon bandages when she bleeds
Shelves filled with eyes that stare
She loves her tattered teddy bear...

Crayon drawing of sunny skies
She draws me with big wide eyes
Read me a story, she hands me a book
It's past her bedtime but she gives me that look
I tuck her in and read her asleep
And pray my love she'll always keep...

There remains no train to glory
The jackals have broken their cells
The zombies are in the mall now
The angels are cast unto hell

The brilliance of the wicked
Rule the castle of thieves
All the wars they can monger
All the innocent blood they can bleed

Corporate incentives form their new gods
The big money of freedom's speech
They locked the gates to the heavens
       And ignore the voice of the meek...
Traveler Sep 2018
Arrogant is not how
I meant this to sound
But by now you must realize
It's only one time around
That's as far as wisdom
Can stretch for the truth
Existentially speaking
Imagine no roof
No bottom too the abyss
Where we fall
Hopefully our ignorance
Can catch us all

She loves her cats
and our chickens..
I love my dogs
and our ducks.
Our geese
obnoxiously honk
and horde over all
our farmyard clucks
keeping the vermin
at bay.

The blessings we allow
to fulfill our life’s
sustain our bodies and souls
I will never let go!

Untimely reminders
In the mist of might
My love is to weak
To do what's right
..............................
Believe in thy self
There be no other
Carried on lost wind
Return to your mother
For out of the earth
The seeds of light bloom
Fed by the sun
Crest by the moon
A love that's as real
As a raging typhoon
Reborn refurbished
Destine for doom

No ending
Just beginning again
Tossing and turning
And bleeding to live
How much more
Do we have to give?

She insist that you look
through her eye's of sight!
Down dim lit corridors
where mazes take flights

I love the smells that surround her
the fragrance of higher expectation
She wears a crown of flowers
in her kingdom of anticipation

She always smile at me
I like staring up at her ceiling
knowing the sky behind
is wider than any thought or feeling

I wish she could see through my eyes
past the ceiling's of those belief  
but enlightenment needs a back burner
while the passion’s of life are released

Here the free
New Years Eve
A world as drunk as can be
Get out there among the scenes
Absolutely refuse to grieve

We live these lives
That has no ends
So fill your glass'
To the brims!!

Cheers, cheers too
Another even crazier year!

We can all agree these are interesting times
May we no longer cross
Those Human right lines!

Can you feel my presence
When I come to you in dreams
Are your memories of me as pleasant
As the songs we used to sing

Do you know that much about me
I used to know you pretty well
You were the angel in my heaven
Until that day I fell

Do you look at those old pictures
Of when you were a child
I only wanted to be with you
Only wanted you to smile

Do you hate the things I’ve done
Do you blame me for your pain
It’s the fact that I still love you
That keeps me in these chains

Change
Sometime it hurts
Moving on
Taking back
Especially
  Giving birth...
But change
Is good
For all that it's worth

If only to
Change
The way we feel
Adopt a no big deal
An attitude not known to ****

Changes
In our beliefs
Separation is the loss of peace
Religious hearts surely decay
At the end of the spiritual maze

Change now, before the mirror
Watch your aura, getting clearer
The change is taking place
Right here in outer space

Disturbing are my dreams
Sleep full of tragic memes
I can't seem to work them out
All these problems
Facing south

I can find no solution
For global unrest
There's far
Too much confusion
In this major political mess

Tossing and turning
All through the night
Mainstream media
Nothing but lies
Propaganda is served
As innocent children
Suffer and dies  

Now I need to wake up
Try and collect my thoughts
Certainly there's something
I can do
To save all they've loss
Take to the pin
Take to the streets
Why must
My empathy
Run so ******* deep!

An open mind?
is not enough
let our heart’s
  search out love…

the lower self
advocates fear
our egos vibrates
  low down here…

how we serve
is our choice
let our divinity
   be our voice…

there is always
more to learn
enlightenment is not
the final term…

songs can be sung
in any key
in a scale of notes
of war and peace…

We sing your song for you

Time is but a nagging measurement
Kinetic forces, inertia unleashed
Every birthday now forth
One year closer to entropy

Deformity of my spirituality
Preserve my heart in wine
The calamity of my existence
Chaotically divine

My charity dreary
My energy empathy drains
As I share your agony
To ease your suffering

I seek refuge
Alone in the wilderness
Drawing faces on the moon
Deities behind the clouds
Here wayward creature
Are solemnly set a fowl

Where does happy dwell
In the part that swells?
Not even lust can last
Does it live within a laugh?
Is happy but a thought
Manifest and then lost?
Surely life must know
When vibration grows
When time flows
Slower than slow
Yet where does
Happy go?

If I chase it will it run?
To catch it must be fun
I've seen happy in a look
I've read those happy books
Still  I need a little more
To be happy at the core
And then happily I'd rest
 Smiling more
  Frowning less..!!.

Summer hair blowing in the breeze
My heart gets tangled when she's running free
The reflection of fireworks displayed in her eyes
Bursts then burns out, still she remains untied
Satisfaction is a smoking gun
Still she belongs to no one...

Silhouette of a cheerleader as she greets an old friend
As if he's more welcome than I am
Yet I know it's my hand she holds
'Til she meets the true mate of her soul
How heavy she weighs on my poem
Still after the breeze she roams....
