Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Seeds of Hope

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Seeds of Hope

Rest, relax, rebuild,  relive, revive,
Never rewind to the time when fighting was live,
Bombarding my surroundings with burning
Flames, explosions,  bullets whizzing,
Safety is nonexistent,  danger surrounds you,
Fear of a stray feud or knife are behind you
Or beside, or ahead of you; never inside you.
Your heart stays pure, needing to help
Never stop giving and receiving hope,
Or the fighting ends,
You lay down your arms,
Surrender to hopeleness and despair,
That’s when fear reigns and overwhelms.
Give your loyalty, love, hope, and optimisms
Freedom to grasp your faith and expose
It to the sun, let it soak its warmth in a pose
Of reverence to God’s powers of prose
In which your strength bursts, warming
You from the inside, till its beauty sings
A rainbow of colors illuminating your skin
With its brilliance.  Bask in its wonder,
Revere its words and sleep calmly, a dreamer.

Certificate for my acrostic poem,  INFIDELITY

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

#Acrostic double
INFIDELITY    

Infidelity, indiscretion,                                           betraYal
Never come without consequences                          buT
Friends, family, spouses have been doing so since CaIne
Irresponsibly murdered Abel for power’s                  pulL
Deriving a sense of satisfaction in                        decEption
Endeavoring to hide, unknowing that truth won’t abiDe
Letting go of deception without paying a toll            In
Infinite regret, guilt that bog you with the weight    oF
Testing your faith in those you believe                  woN’t
Yield to anything but truth and                                  faIthfulness.

Certificate of Excellence/ Valentine Special: Betrayal, My Love

Betrayal

Of my country and of my family
I have little to say, except that funny
Interactions are not always sunny …

A country’s politics and sense of justice
Can disappoint. Its favor is sandy grace
That’s gritty, scratchy, and hurts in place
Of unity that proves our solidarity in face

Of torment, terror, injustice, that train
Citizens in complacency that will rain
Upon them death, disillusionment that fain
A reality that exists in dreams that are slain. ….

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand. ….

Two Certificates of Excellence

Loose not End (exert)

To lose or not to lose,
That is the question that’s not a ruse.

Failing to achieve your goals
Can be a piercing knife to souls

That fall into depression if their
Goals are delayed or failed, their flair

Is indomitable in its will to overcome obstacles
That bend your will, but it’s never broken or stills.

Betrayal (exert)

Of my country and of my family
I have little to say, except that funny
Interactions are not always sunny …

A country’s politics and sense of justice
Can disappoint. Its favor is sandy grace
That’s gritty, scratchy, and hurts in place
Of unity that proves our solidarity in face

Of torment, terror, injustice, that train
Citizens in complacency that will rain
Upon them death, disillusionment that fain
A reality that exists in dreams that are slain.

Dominian of Life

The journey of life encompasses extreme emotions

From depression, to betrayal, to exhiliration.

Starting from worst to best in order to end on a positive note

We begin at the lowest times filled with darkness:

An abyss of desolateness that propels you into a whole

Whirlpool that sucks you into a vortex of helplessness.

Don’t succomb to it!

Shout out your power and suppress anything that depresses it!

Betrayal is next, it’s the real-estate of a state of extreme

Emotions overpowering your selfworth and take

You into a sepulcher of pain trying to negate Its influence.

Accept it, face it, then leave it in a chest,

Locked, chained, and sealed with the hardiest

Of mannacles that are intangible, but bind none the less!

Your exhiliration comes with success in overcoming failure,

Cheer in the face of animosity, changes that come before

You are ready, but there regardless.

Facing the challenges of change can be charmless,

Or it could be an exultation so overpowering it renders

Your fear into miniscule object that has a suppressor.

Let life’s challenges be what strengthens who you are,

Let it assert its dominion over those ‘Nay Sayer’,

Never succumbing into the blackwhole of despair.

Let your faith in yourself be your real-estate rather than a betrayer.

Illusion of Trust

Illusion of Trust I’m Glutton for punishment

I’ve trusted before, and there was such disappointment.

I will trust again and recall its simplicity,

Knowing its extreme complexity,

And the consequences of another violation:

Distress, disillusionment, broken, not bones

Rather the serene heart, naive and doting,

That tries to compensate for the disconsolating

Desire to reject the atrocities visited upon me

Playing the role of one who accepts, but the wound

Festers, thrives in hate rather than acceptance,

Decimating your certitude in yourself and your mask.

The disguise you wear to play a variety of roles

That society imposes, from child, to friend,

To colleague, to competitor, to family, to enemy.

Few, so few, actually know and accept you,

That there are times when you feel that your life is a play.

A Shakesperean tragedy that ends with heartache.

What then, I ask? Trust, shattered!

What is annihilated in seconds, minutes, hours,

Takes years to rebuild, cement, and strengthen.

Never lose hope in trusting others,

For then they win the fray, leaving you fragmented.

Show them, through your play, that hope is endless,

Trust is for the courageous,

Optimism is for those willing to put in a fight,

And faith in yourself constructs your theater

In which your own rules fly!
