Diploma Certificate for my poem,  Best Friend

Thank you,  administrators,  for the honor and your hard work

Best Friend

Her shiny mahogany violin
Lays gently under her chin
As she strums lyrics of a magical
Build,  pleasing the listener in a sparkle

Of harmonious sounds transporting
Her into a veiled world, rosy, blessing
Its concordance in a cacophony
Of rhythms rumbling, hurtling freely,

Soaring into the sky, leaving stress
Behind a locked door that’ll impress
Those who wish the reality rather
Then the dreamy world of a conqueror.

She strums her harmonious melody,
Alone, in a forest filled with astoundingly
Cohesive creatures within nature’s
Bounty that she serenades with music’s layers

Of joy filled cries in reply to strumming
Violin notes flung into the breeze, melding
Soundlessly within the whistling
Air that rustles the leaves’ dancing.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Rebuild Her Vision

Rebuild Her Vision

In her mind’s eye, she sees the new,
New city built on the ashes, rubble,
Rubble and destruction of war,
War that took away family,
Family whose lives were taken,
Taken violently in bombs,
Bombs whose yield was astounding,
Astounding even objective observers,
Observers of world’s humanity,
Humanity whose humane compassion,
Compassion never fails to rise,
Rise in younger generations,
Generations whose conscience,
Conscience in battling against oppression,
Oppression of the Indigenous,
Indigenous populations for material,
Material resources that rebuild,
Rebuild what was destroyed,
Destroyed cities become futuristic,
Futuristic, symmetric, organized,
Organized to represent power,
Power of Faith’s survival,
Survival among death’s door,
Door that opens into a brilliant,
Brilliant future, where equality,
Equality, wisdom, harmony,
Harmony of races, understanding,
Understanding that unity,
Unity is forged in steel,
Steel that has a feel,
Feel for needs of families,
Families whose support, love,
Love and ambition is a construct,
Construct of a world of utopian,
Utopian haven on earth’s astounding,
Astounding beauty that enraptures,
Enraptures our imagination into,
Into creating our heavenly vision.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Remorseful Actions

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

Remorseful Actions

As the guilt presses down on my heart,
I look into the sky towards your hut,
Where your gardens prosper,
And delicacies abound, but never shatter

Your serenity that enrobes contrition
With a balm of faith leading to absolution
For actions that might have created
A snow ball of reactions that fenced

Calamities in your midst,  propelling
You into regretful actions causing
Others pain while striving not to fall
Apart while the pressure turns into a ball

Of explosive events
That need you to barter millions of cents
For your soul in penitence
For actions coming out of ignorance.

Ocean’s Lament, my poem Published in ILA magazine

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

Ocean’s Cry

Oh you blue body of life,
Your azure, royal blue, turquoise, teal,
Color my life in blues, uplifting strife
From the midst of man’s fall. Real,

Real in his prolific dumping of garbage
In its depths, insouciant of consequences
On marine life, that’s slowly disappearing into a cage
Of fishing nets, plastic bags, oil spills, defaces

Defaces reefs, shores, schools of fish,
Extinguishing crustacean habitats,
Underwater algae beds where fish,
Multicolored of varying shapes and sizes,

Sizes that help propel the flourishing
Ecosystems beneath man’s watchful
Eye who’s still looking for expanding,
Conquering territories for boastful,

Boastful insecurities that need
To be bolstered by their flashy vanity,
Showing off their possessions, a creed
Of avarice, capitalism, and duplicity.

Duplicity in dealing justly, meticulously
Working in protecting assets’ vanishing
Existence, as man only knows how to fully
Siphon resources without a care of destroying,

Destroying access to them in a furor
Of greed that’s only surpassed by
Pride’s cataclysmic need to conquer
The unknown by debasing it as simple opposition that’s binary.

Published poem, Pirouette, in Facebook Flipbook OOTP magazine

I am supremely honored to have my poem published with OOTP Magazine.

Pirouette

I watch as she pirouettes,
Her dress, a parachute, flies
In waves to her flutters.

Her sensual beauty attracts
An audience, not for her moves,
But for the supplication in her eyes.

They shine with an inner peace
That translates into an oeuvred pace
Shinier than the purest diamond face.

My gaze is glued to her oneiric flexible
Limbs that have divined  that the rain bubble
Ensconces her in a world where trouble

Is an abstract concept she’s never
Experienced, as her innocent cover
Protects her as she adds prayer to the dancer.

As her body flows, swings, undulates,
She hears titters on her esthetics.
She says: ‘Believe in a faith that provides
Truth and dares to challenge lies.’

They then turn away and bicker,
Having forgotten why she was a riveting picture.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, 

Thank you,  administrators,  for the honor and your hard work 👏

Blooming Spring

Bloom, blooming, 
Blossom, blossoming,
Sprout, sprouting,
Live, living.

The greens and burgeoning bushes,
Flowers, and trees are heady bees
Working hard to overthrow Winter’s
Deadly stagnation by flipping switches

That spring with bubbling streams,
Vibrant greens, and flourishing branches
Heavy with new life seeded by birds
And the bees.

How is it that you can see growth
Within the beauty of nature and mouth
Off that you’re an unbeliever in faith
That GOD exists and helps the resurgence

To take place, while beauty that usurps
The dreary with life that cups,
Embraces, and soars into the cusps
Of quiescent delicacy, flawless in its

Need to beautify the world with
Its wondrous fragility, whose growth
Into stupendous strength,
Refreshes your belief in Godly faith.

As spring springs with sublime
Beauty, festivities abound In a crime
Against nature, as man destroys time,
That can’t return, as feasting needs a compromise

For harvesting can asphixiate
The breath in the soil seeking a fate
Of rejuvenation while waiting in a straight
Line, awaiting death’s suffocating blow.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Weddingdress

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

Weddingdress

In a crowd, he’s become her anchor
In a life where anchorage has no harbor,
A refuge after an exhausting day,
She needs her home’s solitude to pray

That loss will be a long way away,
That the ecstasy felt as her weddingdress would flay
In the breeze, sending shivers that play
On her skin, a symphony of beauty that’ll flay

Any difficulties into crumbs, unconsequential
In its ability to destroy the partial
Power of love and faith that are palatial
In overcoming Insurmountable obstacles essential

To the development of morale, ethics,
Which solidify the anchor and home’s
Unity whose dock is the hearts
Divesting their impurities to be combined as ones.

IlA Magazine published my poem, Sunrise

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





Sunrise

Every day,  without fail, the sun rises
It shines its intangible Rays, like fingers
Caressing your skin, body and limbs.
Everyone of them ends in special memories,
As each day brings in new events.
Some times, those are sad and lonely,
Others are depressing and gravely
Affect your humor and oddities.
They can take you into a dark abyss
Of despair,  and return with cheers.
Inspire you to believe in one more sunrise,
That lifts you above the murky fogs,
Into clouds, of such pristine whites,
That their glare overpowers,
While your fogged windows, from your breaths
Show your anticipation forwards
To one more unbelievable sunrise,
That becomes your muse for life’s
Unending wonder, transience, and colors.
Rainbows of which come out after the rains,
Reminding those bogged down to rise
Rise to the challenge of beauty and lived lives.

Verses of Soul present my poem: Lonely Bench,  with this certificate

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

Lonely Bench

As the empty, lonely bench
Stands alone in the park’s empty lane
That was filled with pattering feet, clench
Their hands together, riding, running, fain

The need to socialize, expanding
Energy, that seems boundless,
Enjoying the freedom of summer, fleeting,
As those moments become heartless

Dissipating into the waiting emptiness
Of autumn’s fiery colors blessedly
Oblivious that summer’s cheer
Has receded into the sky’s grey, charcoaly

Horizon, never to return the same
But better, if one appreciates their
Significance: nature’s hibernation came
With a time in spring, rejuvenation’s care

That dares to bloom again,
From a seeming emptiness that’ll
Gain depth, strength,  beauty that’ll train
The eye into its wondrous refrain.
