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.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Sky, Soil, GOD

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

Sky, Soil, GOD

As I look above, the sky’s scintillating
Colors, whether sunrise, twighlight, sunset, or night
They inspire moods that vary, like colors devoting
Beauty to your every versatility,  like a kite
In flight, I realize, GOD, is all around
Doling out beauty for your joy that’s found

In being beside you when times
Are exciting,  cheerful,  depressing,
When you look down upon ecosystems
Surrounding you with miracles, outstanding
In their simplicity: ant home, beehives,
Even larger predators, the need survives

In each one, human, animal, insect,
Knowing YOU’RE present everywhere
Above, below, and at our side. In fact,
That knowledge is what initiate
Our appreciation for all GOD’S creations,
Also innately aware of your presence’s jubilations,

That empower all to subjugate
Negativity with optimism, transforming
Our core into being compassionately humane.

Certificate of Outstanding for my poem, Sea’s Sunset

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

Sea’s Sunset

The clouds climb high, like mountains
In the sky, some are smaller and stains
The sky, like a painter, with red, pink, blue,
Orange that coalesce Into a darkened view

Of immeasurable beauty of the setting sun
Burning the sky’s clouds with its breath that’ll run
Over the setting sun with a scenic beauty
Unparalleled by any ‘Man’, for the creator, wisely

Intensifies the pull to nature
So that it increases our faith’s cure
For depression, stress, anxiety
That are alleviated by streaky

Waves that pummel the shore
With a power whose core
Is just three atoms, but their strength
Comes from their unity of breath

That lives for all to enjoy
If only you take the time not to be coy
In appreciation of the majesty that is
All around you, and found within the peaks

Of waves, white foamy appearance,
But feel and taste salty which grace
The sand with an abundance of plentifulness
That eases the pangs of hunger without avarice.
