Deep within this heart of mine
a child weeps for salvation
I feel his tears, I hear him pine
a train stuck at the station
no understanding, no rational thought
ignored and shooed away
acceptance is all he ever sought
yet it never came his way
and now together we walk as one
we fight, but invariably lose
poetic justice comes undone
for the child is my muse

Starry dark blue sky
Brilliantly sparkling stars
The beauty of the night.
I steer clear of chaos,
I see ‘em everywhere,
it’s quite naturally normal
these drivers unaware…

The anticipation warns
the arrival of a pending storm.
The karmic wheel repeats..
Chaos is life’s biggest thief…

Something
must have gone astray..
Somehow
their bitter made them gray..

Their vibration is very low
the dark side of the matrix
has snagged their souls..

Do yourself a favor
don’t let them pull you in.
Steer clear of the chaos
and all the special drama
chaos lends..
Traveler 🧳 Tim
Beyond my mind no description exists of who I am
Knife strikes to cut
Air does not resist
The target is the point
The pain the sharpest kiss

In the mist of late night solitude,
                 from a mislaid plateau,
                 with a suitcase full of sparks

She observes constellations
        reflected as little needy eyes,
                        peering down at her

They could be midnight directives,
       postcards from distant nebula
                            suspended in gaffa

       "Ne t'enfuis pas..." She exhales

Still she wonders:

        will her children grow to love
          their perfect machines more
                                    than they love
                  their imperfect mother?

"Ne t'enfuis pas" is a French phrase which means "don't run away"

The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
A little escape from the madness.
Or maybe, into.
I can decide if I will let go
and enjoy the moment
with the crepe myrtle across the way
and swing in the breeze with the sunflowers
or
if I will pull the shade of fear over my eyes
and attach to my feet the weight of worry.

My home is my living space,
my comfort space, my creative space,
an environment of inspiration,
good vibes, and memories.

The past has passed.
It has no power over me.
I have moved forward in my life
with a new purpose.
