Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Foundation of Love

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Foundation of Love

What comes out of love?
From love, all creation is born, as you rove
On this earth in search for more, from cove

To plain, to desert, to mountain top
You run in search for its root, and hop
To its tune, rhythm, rhyme to feed the soul that sop

Of identity, compassion, humanity,
That intermingle, intertwine, two souls of purity
Bound together to infinity.

Not as possession, not a claim, rather
Emotions that run the gamut from fear,
Pain, disillusionment, cheer, joy, all clear

As they mend the broken parts of each
Font of pleasure that surmount the bunch
Of negativity that oppresses like a crunch

Yet, love, its golden halo of purity
Engulfs the two in a hug transcending timely
Obstacles, turning them into change powerfully

Entwining lives into a single soul
Whose only goal
Is addressing the plunder of love’s bowl.

Athena, Warrior

Her resplendent beauty gleams
In the raven sky, her star shines
Brighter with her golden armor, protective
Of her vulnerabilities, as she needs to survive.
Its glow is there to strive
To outlast the unbeliever who stirs the hive.

Her might glistens and reverberates
Throughout her vicinity, vindictive as it propels
Instability, division, dissention, and war!
Booming war cries echo their strengths, none bar
Her entry, as she subjugates those weaker
Through fear and magic of her glittery armor.

Those whose insolence is hidden behind their
Camouflage of piety, are two, three faced, where
They keep their dissonance locked,
So their perfidy is unexpected,
And the humbleness nothing but beguiled
Discourse that pleases the open hearted.

Beware of those wearing lambskin,
But are in reality cutthroats whose noggin
Is an empty shell that requires
It to be filled by others to act out wars.

Accolade for my poem,  His Journey

His Journey

He walks across mountainous terrain,
Rugged, laborious in every step
He takes on his journey to help
In his self-discovery, not vain,

Rather grueling climb is reminiscent
Of life’s challenges he navigated
With fortitude, discipline he grasped
Easily as his discovery isn’t absent,

But present in his ever growing
Knowledge that nothing easily
Achieved lasts or satisfactory,
He trudges on till he’s peaking

Above the peak, walking
Enjoying the scene, where
Beauty is at his fingertips and rear
Is all things forgotten as he’s thinking.

Triple Gold Certificate for my poem,  Silver Etchings

Thank you for the honor and your hard work

Silver Etchings

Her yawn’s white and silver etchings
Swirls of eternal change castings
That bring out beauty’s blessings,

She stands, elegantly in a white dress
Flowing in the breeze that frees
Her imagination to never be less.

Her regal canoe flies through
The clouds taking her to
Endless adventures she never knew

Existed till she let go of fear
That kept her imprisoned in a sphere
Of schedules of repetition in a gear

That keeps speeding into stress
That’ll always press
If not dismantled for pressure is less

Imposing when you escape,
Like her, into the clouds of a dreamscape
That rejuvenates the soul’s need to scrape

Away the desolation of repetition
Garner some courage for expansion
Of a limited world to knowledge of expression.

Soar into beauty, peace
That never recede, but grace
Your mind in the simplicity of a slower pace.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Writing Visions

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Writing Visions

In the depth of autumn’s fury,
The day has a ritulant glow
Encasing her gold tresses in a halo
Of light As she holds her pen, poised, to carry

Her vision of a world filled with cheer,
Shimmering over the river’s shore,
Accepting her peaceful humanity where fear
Is a forgotten feeling that seeps through pore

Flooding away its trauma, building
New communities, integrated with purpose
As she watches addictions evaporating
And discipline, righteousness are the cause

Held dear to all. She keeps her pen
Over the paper, wishing, wishing
That life as she knows it dissipates into a hen-
House, encasing all the negativity and fishing

Out the best of optimism’s cry
That resonates into souls needing to fight.

Accolade for my poem, Gentle Core

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Gentle Core

Look, look upon the Azure blue sea
It shines brilliantly of hope for all to see,
No storms, battles, violent death mar
Its crystalline shores with dismantled bodies, far
From blemish free for purity, innocence

That need to flourish in childish
Wonder, grow their curiosity without polish
So their imagination is catapulted
Into the stratosphere of flight, never endangered
For war is a foreign concept without gore

They thrive on challenges galore
That make a humongous score
Into inventions, creations that never bore,
Using them To improve life’s spore
That’s harvested with gentle kindness of the core.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, 

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Reflection in the Mirror

Her hazel eyes look into the mirror,
What she sees is a wonder.
In the reflection, ‘La Vie en Rose’
Covered with a pinkish screen as she pose.

She lifts her hand, extends her index,
Grazes across the glittery surface, that’s a fox,
Wily and intent on showing her only
Beauty, utopia, family, and community,

Trying haughtily to impose a vision
Of fidelity, that’s as wrotten a passion
As Eve’s apple; who thought it would
Impower her with Knowledge, Immortality

When, in reality, it highlighted her
Faults and sexuality through a picture
Of nudity and immorality.
Her curiosity, pride were her downfall from all heavenly.

The gorgeous woman’s gaze turned
Inward, subconscious awareness aged
With centuries of data, she becomes
Cognizant of the struggles of generations

That tried not to give her her power.
The power of a woman that’ll never
Let pride, shame, sex be the means used
For her destruction that stays unpardoned.

She’s swiftly swung into a new
Path, where women are revered, as few
Are, for their strengths, nurturer,
Culture, and self-awareness that is a propeller

Into an age of her distinction, acceptance,
Integration, and sociopolitical presence.
A long journey whence she grew
Out of a subjugation in a pew.

6th place for my poem, The Sea

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

The Sea

Colors,  oh Colors of the sea
Dazzle my eyes to see

Your beauty’s blue hues
That impress our views

Of many blues: turquoise blues,
Greenish blue, yellowish browns, in special purviews

Where waves clamor to touch shore
In a uproar of rebellion against the sand floor

That speaks to capture its treasures
By displaying them to humanity’s burrs

As their speech, music, song, laughter
Only receed as the sun explodes in color

In a splendor of yellows, and reds
That blend into sparrows of reeds

Changing in harmony with the depth of
Fear that time ends with this falling night that’s enough.

I sit on wonderment on the seashore
In contemplation to be sure

That life’s bliss rises and falls,
Happiness comes in waves and balls,

While nature of the sea stays true,
Unchanging except for the seasons blue,

So enjoy the joy of the quiet balm breeze with
Compensation for a troden soul lifted to breathe.

Diploma for my poem, Veiled Butterfly

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

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.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem,  Symphony of Fall

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Symphony of Fall

As the leaves fall singing a last
Hoora to sunny days, warm breezes,
Replaced with a plethora of colors that freezes
On the ground in an array of colors that blast

The verdant greens into yellowish
Greens, oranges,  and burnished reds
That crinkle, crackle beneath our feet as heads
Turn to watch the scene divided by roads of hardship

Where the greens have faded
While the other paints a palette of reds
That burn beauty Within as it delves and heads
Into the sunset with its divided colors shaded

By God’s paintbrush that never
Disappoints those who appreciate
The divinity in the balance, never late,
Always just as it equalizes reality of the creator.
