I’m honored to be part of the group of poets and poetesses chosen for this honor. I love writing and connecting with my audience over the themes I write about.
I did a poetry reading of my published poems in Petal Projections, and the reaction of the listeners and their interactions with my themes was uplifting. It motivates me to write more.

Rainbowed love starts In red hot passions To orange hearts expanding, To yellow glow brightening The green of acceptance, change, And growth whose prosperity Turns into liquid blues, Those of summer skies Filled with potential of rains That alter fallow lands Into plentiful harvests. The same as love’s abilities To change others from singles To a unit that expands With the colors of rainbows That are always varied, Exiting changes that carried Your worries under two mind Supporting one another in a find Filled well of love that carries Change like loving swaddles Embraced in four arms of loves. The journey begins with a meeting, Attraction, connection, all can be fleeting, But you sacrifice, compromise, communicating All your hopes, then, them entwining Like the purple wisteria, two souls Becoming one, growing a family that cools Their stresses, soothes their anger, As their flow is like the ocean water, At times tranquil, others terrifying squalls That end in making up sessions, falls, Never, for they’re committed To one another, wedded.

Tsunami
Tsunami’s faithless unbelievers has drowned the world in deceit Propagating division, love money, artifice, Lies that split kinship In bid destruct Faith not a Place of Fate

Humanity’s Sins
As He carries the sins of sinners Upon his shoulders, His tears Fall for they’ve lost their way, They’ve forgotten to pray
As they stray from God’s Path into depravity, like a pod’s Frame encapsulates their sins And these pods,numerous in bins
Thrown into an ocean of lost Disciplined belief that has only ONE cost: The soul is saved and taken to heaven While the others are spewed in hell, darken
The sea of non-believers who try To manipulate the believer with stately Orations that deceive the listener Into seeming they’re great believer.

Important Insignificance
The fox enveigled the cheese from the raven, The child wheedles the cookies from parent, The dog raises his puppy eyes and melts your heart.
The birds twitter and flutter coaxing attention, The flower shyly moves its petals to receive Its caresses from the sun’s rays: nutrition!
The man wads his wallet to empress, While the woman wears her war paint as not to depress; The elderly lament their youth, and try to cajole
Their kin into longer and more frequent visits. While the individual struggles to beguile themselves Into believing they’re valued more than they are!
Ironically, they lack the vision to see their importance, That drives jealousy in others in constant Turmoil with themselves, for those lack your presence!

Mirror, mirror, ‘Who am I looking at?’ Is that face, mouth, nose, all mine? Mirror, what do you see when you look at Me? Is it just my beauty and thine?
Have I no substance in your mind? Haven’t you born witness to the depth I hide behind the broken smile that’ll find A hidden maze to secrete screctets in a breath That creates a brume on your shiny Expanse? Does it fog my reflection Of a life lived, enjoyed, even chose empathy For the plight of others under destruction?
As the image is reflected back at me, I wonder on the choices I made, The trajectory I took, is what has come To be a reflection or refraction of things that fade?

Byzantium’s Garden
As I look upon the changing season, The variety of colors from umber’s rich Brown, fertile soil, going into hiatus for reason Of the cold, cooling the ground, coloring a stitch Of amber, yellow, gold, yellowish green, All turning into nutrients for a fallow lean
Land in need of Amaranth to renew Its vigor to produce a wonderland After hibernation in winter, a review Of the upcoming Byzantium garland Of a garden, waiting, waiting patiently For the right circumstance to grow wildly
In a rush to present faery Flowers, a rainbow of colored plants, Heliotrope, lilies, roses, carnations, covertly Awaiting the cooling spring springing, like cats,
Into view grabbing your attention By tuning the scene into an idyllic Creation, where reverence to beautification
Is necessary for the purification Of a heart filled with desperation
To be awakened into the translucence Of a world enveloped in nacre opulence.
