 "WINGED PHILOSOPHY"

 by
 Travis Ray Cole


 Washed away pain and he dream believed
 defend burning magic dose beliefs
 wish tomorrow wanted to be
 smiling pressure points mark the earth
 time dust stopped clock anti-beliefs
 bats hiding over me uniformed
 save the love,feeling apathy
 where they nailed jesus to the cross
 maybe because he came instead of me
 white smoke against angels wings
 nails in your hands and feet
 lines of life preying fetish mind diease
 acupunture rinse killed a tree
 a tree for a cross
 tell on me lift it for society
 blame them for the flag meaning nothing but
 preacher's humour is no longer amus-ing
 trade christmas headstones trip for seeds
 in need of new love
 playing games strong as the sea
 released to hold on to me
 in the arms of rock and roll
 ive wanted you and only dreamed
 burning in love
 i know you wanna believe theres nothing up above
 lighting skies made easy and moved tornados
 war time lust what could it mean
 rivers glowed with blood
 envy green spells turning
 man made god god made dream
 its you i really love
 throw away thoughts never again seen
 angel didnt have to love at least not me
 lust would see no where is ever home
 run out on me
 go the moon is full
 i'll always wait and see
 the snake die and bleed.
 shadows in the garden eating glass
 as the second hand moves lie to me
 in coming for the last strike
 never wounded with lost love

 ========================================================


 "The Non-Art of Angel's Wings"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole


 Angel a miracle psyche's in love with me
 truth in love magic honesty
 whose breath creates more than material possessions
 speak philosophies wait for me
 stone castles have stone walls they fall
 bridge across the rivers of hell
 I taste her dream loves beautiful form
 mind shadows wizards gods and kings
 all pray to angel's wings
 past life lust balance mind healing
 shes got power over me
 entangled in routine
 universal thoughts more art than poetry
 burden of beliefs worship is she the devil i see?
 I put her on a cross
 goddess halo hearts break and roses feeling
 real can not be lost
 unlocked her heart is free
 only to want only me

 ========================================================


 "The Game"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole


 I lead and die,retreat
 next turn sacrafice exceeds
 beyond the limit of need
 one more time your move
 don't try to why would you cheat and lose
 next is a forced turn
 no dice your off your feet
 time runs out it seems
 clock takes its lonely turn
 opens the board filled with war
 rules and church of life theme
 mind win trip scheme
 I think we win to lose
 not ever knowing the price of dues
 I dream of your next move
 keeping score by death once more
 knowing what the other side holds
 not greener and there is no gold
 the many pieces that don't fit the puzzle
 not thinking we lose each other
 so left is the ghost of knight
 the dying mustang ride
 and as many queens as death warrants
 a pawn that don't want to be a number anymore
 leaving only the colors of hurt
 never living in check anymore
 do you wanna play some more
 the black widow no viel
 slides across the crossroads
 no devil to take my name

 ========================================================

 "Same Question"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole


 Is this what you want it to mean?
 lie awake and dream another minute of speech
 words bite me and birds sing
 like it was a joyous thing
 rollercoaster waste lines
 rip apart my very mind
 don't stop to let me breathe
 breath of fire
 poision scream
 I can't think about you
 or what you've stolen of me
 could've held you in the rain
 mind lost am I without you
 rusted metal piercing
 blood.....run
 mine keeps flowing
 out of the life I seek
 am I just dying?
 honey's been too sweet
 stealing time taking dreams
 while it could've been you and me
 theres one way to save the heart
 thats stabbing outward in a hell of greed
 still its left without me
 leaving only the echo of need
 all I could ask myself
 is'nt it just a nightmare?
 does it mean anything?
 As the clouds keep turning
 black and piccasso grey
 killing the art around us
 making life into time dust waste

 ========================================================


 Demon Seed

 by

 Travis Ray Cole

 I wanna bite the apple,I wanna kill the snake
 I wanna skin him alive for heavens sake
 I wanna bite the apple,spit out the seed
 cause the lord knows I'm the demon seed
 in revelations or on page one
 when he comes calling the deed is done
 I wanna eat the apple,I got the hunger and need
 for the taste of Eve the morning brings
 I wanna bite the apple,kill the snake
 take all the blame,it's not her mistake

 ========================================================


 The River

 by

 Travis Ray Cole

 If I go off................................to war,
 will you still wait for me?

 If the pigs set me up tomorrow
 will you wait till I'm free?

 you still have cable television
 to save your nites alone

 we will always be together just like a country song and believe in true
 love like it'll never end

 I know I'm just thinking about the future
 and the day I'm gone I lose

 If something comes between us
 is it me that you will choose?

 theres no guarentee
 as boring as life could be
 will you always be true
 and chain your ass to me?
 oh let our love flow AT$T

 ========================================================


 "What's in a name"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole

 A rose by any other name,does not equal you
 don't judge a rose by it's color,
 one petal is not even close to the truth
 roses dying on the cross,no way to rebloom
 give me your love, I'll give it back
 I only want a girl like you
 a path of rose petals opening up
 for love feeling truth
 a lie about a rose could come back
 & stick right into you
 a trail of roses on the ground for you to walk upon
 even without love, a rose dies and is gone
 when your love grows deep in the heart of the sun
 with the mist of dew in its mind,
 waiting for the summer
 all the time... you spent waiting,
 thought I'd never come
 from the bush where
 love emerges and unfolds our love
 a bud has awakened ,everythings coming up roses
 and the rose water that is steeping
 is distilling for your lucious loving mind

 ========================================================


 "How do you start over"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole

 I started with nothing
 I want nothing
 I need nothing
 I have nothing
 I leave it all behind
 theres to much weight to carry
 to keep these things with me
 I need this,this is mine
 I want nothing
 I have nothing
 I am nothing
 nothing is mine
 there is to much to keep
 I really dont need this muesum of mine
 I leave it
 I start over
 yeah its over
 and I dont even have or need what was/is mine
 I start with nothing
 not even a memorie I try to forget the time
 I start at the end
 I start to begin
 I start without you this time
 Ive got to keep going
 I can not stay here and rust and rot
 while you are doing fine?
 I start again
 I see no end for me I have to try
 you can have what you need or what I dont
 thats ok...yeah it is fine
 I leave these things that slow me down
 Ive got to far to climb
 I would take you with me but you couldnt last
 and I dont wanna leave you whereever
 Im not coming back to in this life
 I start without you
 I am without you
 I dont feel it
 like its a lie
 I...
 wish you could run with me
 I wish you had my seed
 I wish I could hold you and make it alright
 I WISH
 that I could believe
 I wish I lived the dream
 and never want to die

 I want nothing
 I need nothing
 I have nothing
 I leave it all behind
 theres to much weight
 to carry
 to keep these things with me
 I need
 this is mine
 I want nothing
 I have nothing
 I am nothing
 nothing is mine
 there is to much to keep
 theres no such thing as deep
 its just levels you and I
 that might be why
 I really dont need this muesum of mind
 ========================================================



 "Another Rose"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole

 You to me,romanticlly
 love like we hold hands
 wrapped like a thorny vine
 catching holding never letting go to what is inside
 your frozen heart lets go and fly
 like the very meaning of our very bieng
 and love discovers what?
 what we mean,defined what is us what we mean
 love begins to know
 to what is not,you close the door
 I am what you know
 from the middle till the end
 across the street and back again
 as a bird not raven flys
 the darkness turns to light.
 and freedom screams our dream
 light shut out the night alone we two
 just me and you
 from the crossroads the devildog is gone
 you are not a dove we two are just love
 and held like it was gods hands holding me you
 rolling the dice in the middle
 of the intersection of our life.
 you fly
 but not away
 not away from me
 not away from me this time
 there is no him
 there is no her
 there is us
 love in the heart of lust
 could the choice be made
 could the decision be wrong?
 we will live within while living out this poem.
 stealing from the games score
 We keep playing
 play somemore
 kiss me one time I adore
 the heart that you do hide
 the love in your mind
 the times we said goodbye..

 ========================================================


 "War Room"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole


 Yes I have been there
 it was me
 getting my share of some fantasy
 the war room
 all things of war
 make your move
 war whore
 the war room
 with piece of mind
 looking to acceppt what is me this time
 I dont know if I can deal with what is me this time
 it is me inside
 it is peace I find
 the war room
 and its been sometime
 the medals of hate to celebrate
 the photos of what the rich have left
 do your napiolian james dean
 the war room
 holds onto me
 and loves only me
 because theres no one else around
 and the devil comes as pretty
 as push comes to shove
 the war room
 with a hundred doors
 its got its own asmosphere
 dont leave me alone
 come back and love me
 until I love
 the war room
 a fantasy
 relived
 the war room
 from where I have lived
 the war room
 a block from where I was born
 the war room
 the war whore
 the bullets and shells stained with blood
 the pieces of hundreds of years
 and countries that fell
 at no price
 the cost is mine
 the past of time
 the peace that I find in
 the war room
 the lust too.
 I never thought of dying soon
 where is my self
 I love myself
 where is the dream
 I think fantasy
 so I come to
 THE WAR ROOM...
 ========================================================



 "Filth"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole

 Shes so burnt out on love
 I could do anything
 she dont think of love
 and now her hearts not frozen

 she sometimes goes without
 and it does'nt get her anything
 she wants to end the life that needs a life
 to get over living again

 she wants to run from the problems
 of love that no love is taking
 she knows theres no where to go
 but shes gotta get outta the rain

 shes so burnt out on love
 theres no lust in anything
 shes not turned on
 or in tune to what I am playing

 she is thinking of something else
 and her minds not on what Im saying
 so I get bored with lust
 until you show me something

 ========================================================


 "ART OF WAY" by

 Travis Ray Cole


 The Artist is the art
 she moves,she moves me
 she speaks and calls my name
 she laughs I can smile and dream
 I said shes love
 reason
 I've waited all this time for something
 not really knowing until I seen it
 at this point there is no season
 the begining
 she gives me clubs hearts and diamonds
 the spades I dig up on my own
 she lets me win until the last moment
 and puts me in checkmate again
 she spins and tries to get it off the ground
 its up to the wind to choose to take it
 I run with her
 I run for her
 I run to her
 she is a gift
 she is she I am me
 together we listen
 to her I whisper
 don't I tell her my best line
 and go back and rewrite them?
 can I ever really love what is love
 am I the only one
 I should not say anything about it
 its too late
 I could'nt wait
 just outta the blue
 from nowhere
 "I love you"
 across the sound
 from now on
 would I say the right thing
 would'nt I do anything
 and be crazy enough to quit
 whatever got in the way
 crazy about the reason I have to love
 me and you
 ========================================================


 Bread and water"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole

 Bread and water think of you
 bread and water think of you
 bread and water think of you
 The airs to thin to run
 The sky ain't blue
 Bread and water think of you
 bread and water think of you
 bread and water think of you
 nowhere to hide
 your love ain't true
 Bread and water think of you
 bread and water think of you
 bread and water think of you
 If I can't be free
 I can't be cool
 dying to live my life with
 without with without
 am I on the right track
 or am I just another?
 am I going to ever win
 you as my lover
 everything that comes my way is SHIT compared to you
 bread and water think of you
 bread and water think of you
 bread and water think of you
 I don't belive in free
 I belive in you.

 "Dream Catcher"

 by

 Travis Ray Cole

 If she took all this time to follow me to stalk me
 and stake me out ,study me without a doubt
 read my words my every thought
 break into my mind,hide out then get caught
 shes a little bit more than a part of me
 common factor is we're both into me
 she knows more about me than I do myself
 and I thought I needed help
 who the hell is she I want to know
 I'm really flattured but I don't know
 I could take her out for burritto's
 and hold her close nibble on her ear and kiss her eskimio
 is she crazier than me should
 I run hide or just say cheese
 i could lose her if I wanted too
 but I'm strangly attracted to
 I could out run her
 day or night
 but somehow turning hunter
 into hunted just seems right.

 Travis Ray Cole

 THE CRYSTALS ON THE LITTLE RED HAIRS
 REACHING OUT FROM THE LIGHT GREEN
 SOILD MASS TURNING TO DUST
 GREEN AND RED DUST
 GOD MADE ART LIVING DIE LIVE AGAIN IN MIND
 PERFECT
 REACHING FOR THE LIGHT
 AIR MOVING IN AND AROUND
 ROOTS THAT KNOW NOT THE GROUND
 WATER FILLED WITH AIR
 WARM LIGHT FEELING HAPPINESS ONE MORE TIME
 WE CAN SAVE THE WORLD
 WE CAN SAVE OURSELVES
 WE CAN SMELL THE FLOWERS
 THE DARKNESS THE ROOTS KNOW
 THE REACHING FOR NIGHT AND
 WANTING TO GROW.

 "Signal from nowhere" by

 Travis Ray Cole


 How clean her wrists looked.....uncut
 viens shining through
 bieng scutinized critized and trapped
 under the microscope
 all the time
 how clean her thoughts were
 with the truth only to lie to her
 no time for like today
 taking
 lying because she cares
 yeah
 loving because lifes there
 shining like cold blue steel
 cold water wont stop the cruel
 pain in flesh,fog dense thick haterd
 a victim of yourself
 reaching to yesterday for help
 no heaven to save a soul
 the ground is so cold
 go not to hell
 and you'ld rather not love me
 than love yourself
