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.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Fiery Fall

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

Fiery Fall

Colors of fiery fall feed your
Feelings of fierce freedom
Flowing with the blowing,
Air around all aflurry,
In its need to breathe in
The sweetest air keeping you alive.

I let the fleeting breeze
Run up my sleeve, it
Sneaks up my armpit,
As easily as you please,
Surges through me, lifting,
Roaming around, finding pause
To circle, freely, around my breast,
Neck, and head. Stealth is best,
As I fly where the wind will rest.

As the sweeping air embraces
Me with its wonders,
I steal a peek, and my heart stutters,
At the fire leaping from the leaves,
Whose colors turn from yellow,
Burnished greens, rust, blood red,
Burgundy, all flit around my head
Leaping from tree top
To tree top, to bush, to flower,
To weed, to soil, nourishing
All with its slow hover
That steals your breath in awe
At the splendor of the fleeting fall critter.

Bronze Certificate of Achievement,  poem: Nature’s Rejuvenation

I’d like to thank the administrators for the honor they’ve bestowed on my poetry.

Nature’s Rejuvenation

The wonder of the sea as it cleanses
Itself with waves frothed in peaks
Of brilliant white, flagging the onlookers

To note its brilliance as it hits the shore
With great abundance of fish, sea urchins’ core,
Crustaceans who never bore,

All vie to survive in an ecosystem
Whose balance is fragile but come
Forward to purify an environment is lame

As it’s bombarded in garbage,
Toxins that destroy the balance, in an age
Where every resource and commodity rage

For its preservation for survival
Of humanity is vital,
But, Man’s corporal life hung in destruction of the mystical.

Vacay: Tripoli, Lebanon

At the old Souk and old port where the architecture reflects the Lebanese history. The city is called, Tripoli, due to the 3 doors of entry to the city. The old ports history is filled with different civilizations, archeological artifacts, buildings that represent the marriage of cultures, and blending of religions into a united people.

There are three Souks: gold, clothing, and copper that showcase the melding of history and modernity. Their beauty lies in their preservation and continued upkeep.
