No Comments on Review and accolade for my poem, Love’s Masks

Thank you for inspiring me to continue to voice my thoughts in writing that appears to be pleasing.

Love’s Masks

Share your inner thoughts, ideas, ideals,
That power your imagination and hails
Down upon you, admiration, envy that entails
You have to choose who needs some derails.

Today, we hide behind our likes,
Our social media personae that drives
Our self-esteem into the grounds
If it’s not up to par with our peers.

Why do we hide?
Is intimacy such a bad ride,
That you need masks to keep all inside?

Or do you soar in flight
Fall, shatter, break, and give only a bite
Out of the ball, then turn it into a free for all?

Love’s power only grows
As love is exchanged and plows
Dissent into an abyss of darkness

Where it’s devoured by happiness
Of love shared and empowers hopefulness
In a world that dictates the reign of the Ego.

Thank you for the accolade and your hard work.

Lone

One
lonely
Boy, shy
Tries making
A friend flying
Into the unknown,
Lonely. One. Loneliest
Number ever. It tests hardest
When you’re surrounded by familys’
Best, whose envy alienates you farthest.

Standing alone with a whirring world
That’s confusing, struggling blind,
Into unknowns that surround,
Bind your moves. Loud
Is the thunder around
That drowns bad
Decisions
Needing
Greater
Care.

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

Sacred Light

The bare tree stands alone,
Alone, with its empty branches,
Branches reaching up, up into the sky,
Sky in supplication’s gratitude,
Gratitude that a sliver of light,
Light lights up the road in white,
White snow blanketing the roads,
Roads of life filled with their twists,
Twists, turns, and upheavals,
Upheavals testing your fortitude,
Fortitude in your strength to stand,
Stand alone, facing ice, gales, storms,
Storms that tempt you to give up,
Give up the faithful fight,
Fight in knowing that to survive,
Survive is a sacred right,
Right of passage that’ll bite,
Bite into your faith to self-destruct,
Destruct under social pressure,
Pressure that requires nothing,
Nothing except following your desires,
Desires that lead you astray,
Astray from the path of faith,
Faith lighting your darkest,
Darkest hour with a sparkle,
Sparkle that doesn’t fade.

Lone

As I embrace the quiet night,
I let the calm moon flutter through my thought:
Plans, schedules, frivolity, wonder
That wanders in the quagmire
Of broken dreams that I will
My fortitude to take note and grill
The negativity, charred into dust
Of solitude that is a necessary gust.

Loitering at home

What are you doing this evening?

My favorite night escape is being home, alone, or surrounded by people I love. While alone, I’m more likely to be productive and write something new or apply for the varied writing contests. On the other hand, while I’m with my tribe, I store the happiness, smiles for darker days to shine a light on them.

Another Certificate

This Honorable mention is for the following poem based on the below picture:

Flow of ONE

Sitting alone,
Surrounded by water’s flow,
Nature’s song humming in a glow
Of tweets, buzzing, crackling, whine,
All in a spontaneous symphony in a crown
Of glory, seeping into the soul in a halo
Of protection against a throw
Of reality imposing a tun
Of fear, that’s clear.

Enjoying
The simplicity of a world
Governed by nature’s cycling
Between life-and-death, beauty and terrifying.
The openness of a world that relies on its principles,
Automatically reduces dessension, as dividing
Is done innately, reverently, loving
Every difference, embracing
Our merging as ONE.
