Accolade and Review for my poem, FEAR, BREATHE,  THINK, ACT

FEAR, BREATHE, THINK, ACT

FEAR
Fear: fast heart beats feasting feverishly
Every time fear ramps serotonin quickly,
Amply avid in avoiding pain, fastidious in
Remaining alive to tell the tale of FEAR.
FEAR

BREATHE  …
Barely breathing, the brain astoundingly
Reveals its respiratory ease, by reviewing
Every fear, entering the data, waiting
Another moment for analysis, wading,
Through the morass of a lack of logic,
Hearing only haloed heartbeats, heaving.
Eternally aware of time flowing: BREATHE.
BREATHE ..

THINK …
Through and push through thinking
Halves my reasoning, homing only on survival
Instead of clarity of thought,
Never receiving the memo of
Knowing that ‘fight or flight’ is all in a knot. THINK.
THINK …

ACT …
Actively, arduously permitting action that
Covers slippery seconds of being frozen, while
Time reveals your success, failure, and your missing fervor.
ACT …

Accolade for my poems,  Resistance Is Futile  & Veiled Butterfly

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

‘Resitance is Futile’*1

We’re being bombarded, daily,
By subliminal messages, hourly,
Whispers of drugs, violence, alcoholics’ enduced hazes, minutely,
Incorporated in ALL media, compulsively.

Resistance is Futile …

Words, sounds, images coalesce
Into an indoctrinated presence
That’s insidious in its convergence
Into your mind, creating a blinding trace

For behaviors that are incongruent
With ‘our’ Ideals of humanity, that are esculent
By mediocrity of addiction becoming permanent,
As our dependence skyrockets into exponent …

‘Resitance is Futile’ …

As our struggles persist,  our
Vision, imagination, purveyor
Of our strength of cohesion, flutter
Into a bud that flourishes in power.

As ‘Resistance is Futile’,

Our obstacles remain tangible,
Yet, clearly, unattainable.
The need to strive to be corrigible
Is embedded in our DNA, for hope is always tenable.

Thus:
‘Resitance is (Not) Futile.’

Veiled Butterfly

Her veil of flowers and butterflies
Flit around her head as her eyes
Wander into the night skies.

Her beauty shines through
Her astounding eyes of blue,
Framed by lashes of a brownish hue.

Her rosy lips stutter with each
Winged flap, trying vainly to catch
The flight of the butterfly and latch

Onto its fringes and take flight
With her fantasms in direct conflict
With reality’s nightmarish bite.

Her lashes flutter as her revelry
Into a utopian wonder clashes sensibly
With a reality where her veil is horribly

Marred by Stereotypes that bind
Perceptions of beauty of the mind
To terrorist activities that make you grind

Your frustrations for a lack of understanding
And communication that’s building
Roadblocks that inhibit freedom of living.

Accolade for my poem,  Amadeus

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Amadeus …

Amadeus, Amadeus … Amadeus  …

Amadé, a change of name that came With fame
But his genius compositions only improved,
His soul was a part of his music, recorded
For all to critique,  enjoy, the Heartbeat Waltz in a flame

Of cadence whose tempo flies into dance
To uplift the soul from the succulant morass,
The speed of the rhythm, consonance,
Modulation play together in harmony of place

And time to enjoy the emotional
Highs, lows, serene notes that
Help the soul soar into a world whose bat
Of destruction frolics under the guise  of corporeal

Sensuality innate in passionate humanity,
For without its imaginative freedom
Hope’s determination fluctuates into a dam
Of solid desperation only broken by musicality.

Accolade for my poem,  Blue’s Castle

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Blue’s Castle

On a baby blue sky day, the castle
Enrobed in golden rays shining
Off arched windows, bright ball
Reflecting the lives, deaths that call

Out to the living, teaching wisdom
From history etched on walls,
There’s always a place and time
For all around to learn and come

To conclusions that help the living
Improve their plight by learning
From history’s lessons without any whispering
Of war or fight that has corpses lying

Out of sight. The whale statue adorning
The outer walls, inviting, spontaneous warning:
All to enter its domain, peering
Into a long gone era of traversing

Centuries of wisdom runs into
The Renaissance era of science
That delves into all that’s tangible, a foe
To faith that’s documented in books that grow

In importance, for the morals
Within are a blessing for the intelligent,
Who want to reduce their workload, calls
Out that learning from experience isn’t a falls.

Accolade for my poem,  Double Rainbow

Thank you for the accolade and your hard work.

Double Rainbow

Rainbows around the world have hope
Tethered to their appearance after storms
That hit unexpectedly, yet their shine comes
With brilliance as they obliterate upheavals, you cope

With daily routines that dull your cheer,
Yet, when a double rainbow appears,
Double the gifts simultaneously, become freer
As worries dissipate like vapor without fears

They might return for beauty casts
A shadow of splendor coated in a Golden
Sheen, a treasure of unparalleled pasts
That throw away their appreciation of being beholden

To beauty that revives our belief that
Life should be appreciated every moment
For it’s gone the next, or anxious despair  that
Coat your soul with a monstrous blight:

An evil trying to seep your wonder
Into depravity, an evil whose darkness
Places an endless abyss, never
Grace, within that devours turning you helpless.

Accolade for my poem,  Killing Hunger

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Killing Hunger

Famine has lent a scrawny
Build to people’s agony
Of being constantly hungry
They search, vainly, for sustenance that cry:

Killing hunger is a crime

Of conscience for food is plentiful
If shared, not horded in a full
Contingent of warehouses where gruel
Is hidden from the poor, while for the fanciful

Killing hunger is a rhyme

For each individual to recall
For each crumb means a loss of a ball-
Room of people daily who have none but fall
Groveling for a pittance to call

Killing hunger is a crime

Of outstanding proportion
For man’s compassion
Has died with the materialization
Of the individual needs before population

Killing hunger is a rhyme

That never ends, a cycle of obsession
Survival of the Ego before orchestration
Of growth for all that leads to destruction
Of cries and perspiration

Killing hunger is a crime
With no reason or rhyme.

Accolade for my poem,  Journey in The Womb

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Journey in the Womb

As my umbilical cord feeds
My body, my mind listens to sounds,
Healing my anxiety for love, hunger,
Yet, as my hunger is assuaged, proper

My mind swims into a sea
Of possibilities about a future, per se
That I’ve only heard whispers
Of through parents, family, conversers

Around me speaking a language
I can’t decipher, but I dream of a page
Filled with goals, careers, that crave
Attention, hard work, and pave

The road to mama’s adulation,
For her bias is such that any competition
With myself is rewarded by smiles,
Cuddles, Hugs conquering piles

Of doubt that she murders
With simple pride that radiates
Through my success and comforts
In failures that bend self-worth in ports

Of darkness alleviated only
By recalling her strength properly
Reflected in the potions of TLC
She hands out, seeming effortless to see.

I vascillate in wanting to be
Just like her, or a teacher, like
Her, a fashionista, like her,
A passionate supporter, like her,

A believer, like her, but mostly,
I want her to be proud of the crazy
Child she raised who embraces
Life’s turbulent obstacles with prices

Paid in smiles for Karma will
Return my gift into a thousand pill
Against depression for my strength
Comes from her breath.

Accolade for my poem, Addiction

Thank you,  administrators,  for the accolade and your hard work.

Addiction

I’m  an addict
And I know it!

I revere two of the three Cs:
Coffee,  candy,  and cigarettes.

I love my coffee alone with my contemplation
Of life, likes, posts, news, like a great commotion,

Flitting from one to the next trying to see
What’s best before I rest to be free.

Posts galore and replies of mine
Make my day, as the taste of Coffee

Feels like a sinful pleasure.
With my dark drink, I bite into chocolate,

And drift into a coma at heaven’s gate.
I savor the sweetness along the strength

Of body of the coffee and its bitterness.

Life with the morning rituals
Cake, candy, chocolate, coffee and sweets

Is like life without a hero like Ferrero,
Or Cadbury, Mars, KitKat,  and Aero!

Raising the bar in a day filled
With noise, poised to litter the mind

With fear, worry, and being drear!
So my habitual start is set in stone:

Coffee, contemplation, quiet that have
A lead to social media, news, where I refuse

To succumb to its dadarkness
That needs to twist your morning addictions

Into a depressive, foggy darkness.
Let your coffee’s wisdom fill
Your empty cup with hope that will

Reject solidifying into despair,
But reaches in your depths to repair.
