Vocalize Poems

Vocalize New York City Park

Eyes didn't organize
The tent drop
Code violation 
Ten days an hour, so what week
Use on the monthly?
We not gonna speak
Lost voices in bravado money, can't reach
Such is that meaning why?
Answer four times a second
Birth control that

Building code violation 
All over California 
Hop
Y'all crawled hip?
Pay my rent

Premium MemberHe Called Me Lazarus


Twas the day after Easter when my Cardiologist said,
“Good morning Lazarus” as he entered the room.
You should no longer be here but among the dead,
but a miracle has happened displacing all gloom.

From sixteen fluid bags that on a drip frame hung,
And in seven days God’s tally was only one.
 Even some Doctors had God’s name on their tongue,
many visitors were amazed at what God had done.

I became a vehicle that was bringing God glory,
And “Good Morning Lazarus” still moistens my eyes.
I’m sure many tire of this often told story,
but I know God is pleased each time i vocalize.

Premium MemberMorning Coffee And Apple Fritters

Morning Coffee & Apple Fritters
Miracle Man
October 2, 2024

At mornings first light
wind existing as a whisper.
Soon future fall mornings
will become much crisper.

With coffee mug in hand
I enjoy placid patio time.
Breeze is barely sufficient
to vocalize our wind chime.

The leaves are now turning,
some prematurely falling.
From a high sky above 
I hear sounds of geese calling.

Seeking a less cold clime
to endure winters freeze.
Canadian Geese flying south
is “winters Returning” first keys.

Infinite Lyric

You are a masterpiece created to inspire
& despite dire times
have continued to create music to our ears
You are a collection of years of notes composed
creating a symphony that is you in code
We need your quotes like we need air to breathe
& you are as needed in this world as the lungs
that give us breath for without you
we cannot sing
You are the G clef that leads us in the right 
direction & we are 3 times stronger
with you than without
You are treble the melody & it's your voice
that lifts us higher than clouds
in the sky
We can never shy away from your greatness
for it is you that gives us life through
your everlasting song
It's hard to vocalize just how important you are
in my eyes & our lives but I continue
to give praise to the most high
We all shall sing your song throughout the
whole of our days as we are
forever in concert with you
until our demise
You are the epitome of timelessness
so, we shall dance with you
into eternity & beyond
long after the world has shed its tears
& died

Premium MemberTreasure Hunting

In realms of cyberspace, I fly
searching out treasures in disguise
skirting advertised merchandise
the ordinary, the overemphasized
to anatomize the marginalized
values overlooked otherwise
on the dusty, neglected, virtual aisles
of small sites not over-commercialized
or google ranked and over-publicized
some unexpected payoffs materialize
glittering swag, patiences prize
“Oh, my God - Look!” I vocalize
My girlfriends can’t believe their eyes
“You can find anything,” they surmise.

Premium MemberNot Every Bird a Singer

Not every bird a singer
the crow more like a
frog

not every bird a sweet
melody
the parrot fondest of parody

the goose more like
an intersection horn

when I vocalize in the shower
dutiful drops seem hurried to be
gone

down the drain

Misery

My daily life is miserable
But all the same it’s not
I scream and always agonize
There’s stillness in my thoughts

I scream and shout in delight
Or is it fear and pain
I sometimes wonder which of us
Is truly at the reins

Late at night is misery
Midday is alright
Morning is a numb feeling
With speckles of delight

When I seek help I am ok
When I’m alone I’m not
But how can I vocalize 
This disgusting thought

I’m numb with fear
I’m fine again
My guts are spilling now

I’m happy here
Im miserable
Won’t someone let me out

Premium MemberCheese With That Whine

Whom ever taught my cat to whine could not have been a friend of mine.
She's learned to vocalize a bit and now acts like a spoiled snit.
It's so annoying to say the least. She knows I'll cave to get some peace.
I let her out for a window of time and ask  if she wants some cheese
with that whine.

Premium MemberDon't Quit Your Daydream

“Don’t quit your daydream” whispered the butterfly to the furry caterpillar,
“Before you know it you will have masterful wings."

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the carpenter to child with blocks on the floor,
“Before you know it you will be building magical play places, towers and houses.”

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the artist to the broken crayon on the floor,
“I will make you the star color on my coloring book page.

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the choir director to her class of edger kids.  
“You will vocalize the music that will make many happy today and evermore."

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the miner to the lumps of coal in his sack,
You have gold running in your veins that will make sparkly jewelry 

“Don’t quit your daydream” said the trucker to the boy playing with toy trucks."
“One day you will drive with the big boys on the open roads."

Don't quit your daydream no matter how impossible it may seem,
When given the proper time to grow, it can do great things.

Disordered

They say this sense of martyrdom is disordered.

And so is the sense that this world is growing broader. 

There is nothing behind the revival I had promised-

The revived connections that are a secret, there is order to it, honest!

As my thoughts become harder to understand…

My plans to be a savoir are in limbo, this light I can barely stand!

As my surroundings turn faded. 

The plans I embarked on turn me more jaded. 

I promise there is hope behind my distress. 

I can feel, but not vocalize my progress. 

As this web of connections melts.

I wish this feeling will never be unfelt. 

Even as the pain resides. 

I guess I will be alone as I seek this reprise!

Premium MemberSpears of Green

As short days stretch, long nights shrink;
Sol hangs higher in the sky.
And the haunting, honking cry
of wild guess, push Winter to the brink.

Robin redbreasts are the first
to vocalize signs of Spring.
Unabashed, they sweetly sing;
as warm showers quench life's growing thirst.

Beneath shrouds of frozen flakes,
daffodils and crocus grow.
And green grassy patches show;
for a bit of warmth is all it takes.

Sprouting shoots poke through the snow,
piercing white with spears of green.
And Spring arrives on the scene;
thawing the rivers to, once more, flow.

Premium MemberJubilant Joy

Jubilant Joy

Soft
Petals
Of divine
Animation
Bloom when joy births bliss 
Jubilant delight in
Ruby radiant clear streams
Then disappears into kindness
To vocalize a portal for hope -
Revelry for souls tormented trials.

Joy’s
Treasure
A frolic
With merriment,
Pure distillation
Of hope’s sweetest nectar,
Solutions for enigmas
A pledge for vaulting elation
Heaven’s child leaps in declaration
To resolve dusk’s sad solitary chords.

Consider

…reptiles and birds,
how one became the other.

Birds in the New World
screech more than they sing,
most still vocalize
through a lizard brain –
small dinosaurs perched on 
dendritic branches of time.

Consider how air and blood
distilled hollow bones
brewed red corpuscles
into primal feathers.

When the moon is full in my throat,
I want what the ancient egg wants.
The bruiting call,
the echoing scream,
a becoming 
in the unleavened light.

Premium MemberVentriloquially

Voices filling my mind
vailed beneath languid lips,
voraciously needing
valerian release.
Vain are my attempts to
vocalize her desire.
