Certificate of Excellence,  poem: Eye of the Storm

Can’t express my gratitude for the honor.

Eye of the Storm

The southern Belle stands knowing
The storm is imminent. She looks
Towards its development, but is gazing
Towards home, worried that all, in blinks,

Will disappear through the cyclone,
Flood, twister, desert storm, any and all
Possible, as she blinks and stands like a stone,
Her wandering mind building a fall.

A fall from greatness, as she and hers
Are destroyed by a destructive nature
That has no mercy, rather only a force, a scouter
For vulnerability, and pitilessly attacks

Land, sea, farms, concrete jungles,
Where none can stand up to the veracity
Of their powerlessness when faced by nature’s
Omnipotence over those living on earth, stately.

A ll encompassing strength to ward of
R aging aggression against attackers whose

T heir own fears through mayhem’s murder.

Certificate of Excellence,  poem: Deemflum Falls

Deemflum Falls

In the icy winter frost, the visit
To Niagara Falls is a balm on a troubled
Soul whose daily anxieties transform into mist
That continually rise above the falls, unmoved
By the chaotic madness of a world
Filled with death, murder, violence,
And destruction that require you to hold
Onto your sanity by turning to the deemflum face

Of letting your worries evaporate,
Like the misty fog, into skies so blue,
They pierce into a heart rarely in sync with fate
As the cacophony of splashing sheets of true

Blue raise your spirit into a haven
Of quietude balanced by the icy
Crunch of frozen shelves shedding cotton
Balls through the air like rainy

Pellets that strike a balance
Between the reality and what’s imaginary.

Certificate of Excellence,  Integrity’s Honesty

INTEGRITY’S HONESTY

Acrostic

Invade your soul with integrity,
Never letting go of honesty,
That’s powered by discipline,
Eternally
Growing your stance, heavenly
Righteously to eliminate
Inferiority, inequality, but supports
The integration of all humanity’s races, Genders, not
Yellowbellies who deceive,
Stab friends in their backs, as they climb

Higher in their careers,  never being
Openly covetous of others, but rather leave a
Niggling discomfiture in their vicinity that’s
Eternal in its prickly presence.
Stand for your ethics
That make you uniquely
You, as it empowers your vitality.

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. ….

Certificate of Excellence, Quick… Loss

Quick … Loss

Exert

Loss and death are as quick as breath.
Run and hide trying to evade its breadth.
I look upon its specter as I hold my breath.

Loss and death are as old as millenia.
Run and hide, as time is never vanilla,
But a manila cover in which to hide sista.

Loss and death are as varied as a bow.
Run and hide, and never stay in a row,
That keeps you stuck in a silent blow. …

Certificate of Excellence, My Love

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, understanding 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.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.

Certificate of excellence, Cupid’s Valentine

Cupid’s Valentine

The month of love and adoration
Is the shortest one of all!
Not all happiness can be packed into its summation,
Short, though it is, its effects are a ball!

In its center, couples celebrate their love,
As if you only praise your unity, then!
And every other day falls short of its possessive
Hold on your cheery life filled only with a pen.

The one you use to organize your life,
Strategize your next goal, perfect compassion
That leads to compromise and less strife,
While dissent and enmity to envy’s fashion.

Duty and love are two sides of a coin,
Where duty can choke the life out of veneration
As it stomps out the cheer from your conjoin.

Certificate of excellence, Overflowing Chalice

Overflowing Chalice

Choices, choices, how many do you make everyday?
Good choices, poor choices, which are the best in a fray?

Career choices at a young age,
Friendships good and bad, relegate all that’s a rage,

Pressure, peers, social, cultural, all turn an empty page
In a life that’s overwhelmed with questions of existence.

Run, run, run along,
Round, round you go all the way, longing, long,

Wishing there exists a preset solution
That facilitates life’s process for a decision.

The summation of all experiences create
A diverse stream in the chalice if inequity’s rate.

Depending on your perception and that of your kin,
The chalice overflows with a negatively skewed bin

That lowers your morale when all you need
Is for the chalice of injustice to be empty indeed.
