Short Vocalized Poems

I'm still faltering.

Even though I'm sitting down.

Befuddled and lost.

That could be vocalized by.

Chagrining longing for life

Cleanse your colon
the future of poetry demands,
and this is just the place for it.
Backed-up words =  writers block.
Void the unavoidable,
eliminate the congested
proud and loud.

Fear not the mess
white pages and toilet paper
so similar

Write on with a lax and easy grace
to the next vocalized movement,
your next creative peristalsis....

About we lie and laugh and laze
In these hot and hazy lust-filled days,
Counting clouds amongst temperatures rising:
A world of us two, and from others are hiding,
Sharing personal jokes only we understand.
Facing each other, you reach for my hand,
And in that moment, a bond’s made and sealed,
A secret pact good as long as we feel
These majestic moments that make up the “now”:
As sure and as sacred as a vocalized vow....

I lost my queen,
And I just started.
My will to proceed,
Has departed!

I grab my hair,
And look at my knights...
I fear my defence will soon fall,
As my opponents bishops bring fright!

Perhaps some trickery,
And I will survive;
'En Passant!"
My pawn does drive!

Then there was a dance,
Between their king and their rook!
And a vocalized dart, 'checkmate!'...
Where sixty-four squares violently shook!!

38 years  2004

Obscured by mist, as time went on
when our life was blurred 
we would make a list of negative thoughts
that were vocalized 
by anger, resentment and pain
but we always managed to see a light
through the fog no matter how faint
it would flicker from time to time
then it would become bright
and in our life all was right with the world
I’m happy to be here with you living somewhere different 
and doing something new

It was there when a serous sea
Spewed out its only occupant
Through a very narrow fleshy
Cave into a harsh world of light.
It sojourned during the long days
Of never-ending crying pleas,
Assuming only a bright smile
Throughout it all uncomplaining.
It witnessed the sound of three words
Coochie, Coochie coo vocalized
While the alien, helpless, squirmed
Under ten soft probing fingers.
It was present when the first two
Steps teetered into outstretched arms....

take me breath
to the freshest space

let me breathe
in freedom
in your deepest dive

escort me breath
with your tenderness

to kiss words
and carve verses

bring me breath
to my poetic  temples
there i can spell out
my heart’s vibrations

provoke 
physical thoughts
arise
promises

please 
no tightness 
no depressed

breath
collided

vocalized  tune
shared  the thoughts 
spread the love

leave me breath
leave me there
in my poetic temples
