Invisible poets honoring my poem: Stairway of Goals

Stairway of Goals

As I start my trek into the woods,
I note the natural stairway leading
To a summit. With each step I take, my son prods
Me on with encouraging, motivating
Talk that never falls short of helping me
Uncover my hidden strengths, in time

To achieve each goal in a space
Where my comfort is of paramount
Importance,  but I still need the grace
And humbleness to accept advice, even as I mount
An internal war to grow outside my realm
Of family, friends, extending my wings in my palm

To reach out to those who’ve lost
So much, as they feel stunted, stagnant,
But, really, their strengths are epic needing to be emulated.

Invisible Poets recognition of my poem: Love’s Poetry

Exert of the poem below:

Love’s Poetry

As light is hope and all that’s bright,
Learning to love in the sun illuminates
Your perception on values, character, that fight
To blot out negativity that’s darkened puss

That festers as an abyssimal blight
To optimism whose courage roars in
Flight to piece together poems whose bite
Is only a loving caress, as their images pin …

Double Silver Certificate of Excellence, poem: Dualities

Thank you, administrators, for the honor.

Dualities

The binary opposition symbols in life have
Somewhat helped identify that you gave
Thought to the ‘other’ by describing
The ‘self’ through an opposing

Lense not unlike the way we divide
Our characters with Yin and Yan that hide
The existence of otherness within
That is Masked and out of site, in a bin.

The tree of life is no different
Then the struggle within that’s bent
On having ‘good’ win against ‘evil’,
Knowing the oversimplification that’ll

Persuade the peridic nature of anger
To cool with the calming breeze, paper,
That hang onto the branches, safer,
As emotions try to erode its beautifier

Of shades, hues of greens, pleasing
To the eye, while knowing that changing
From one state of emotion to another
Is as fugacious as the flow of a timer

Set off too swiftly to linger
On the abstinence of a greater
Power that helps settle the struggle
Making managing life easier than trouble.

Social Division through Labels

What would you change about modern society?

Modern society has a tendency to create class/ label subdivisions in order to create distance, even dissention among the population. It’s ironic, really, how by coming up with a variety of labels that are racial, neurological, gender specific, and more are invariably creating communities within communities that create separation and division between a community. These classifications make communication more difficult,  as traditional rules don’t apply, more specifically, they deviate from the norm, creating a greater gap in understanding the needs of all. I may be backwards or too traditional, but at least in a world where gender roles, values, acceptable behavior, and norms have all become skewed.

2 Certificates about Success, Labyrinth & Defining Me

Labyrinth

Life is full of predicaments,
Labyrinths are the only road available.
Line your car with gas that spars
Long with the deadly turns that are viable.

Longing for straightforward success,
Laying out your failures that press.
Limp around giving a guess
Looking forward to new life that’s not less.

Legends are complex and teach
Loyalty and friendship, but suppress
Liars that generate a great reach
Leaving them as villains that squeals.

Light up your life with loyals
Living through difficulties and prove
Logical in their enterprises
Letting the faithful mind make a succesful move.

Defining ‘Me’

As a teen, are you aware?
Aware of your strengths,
Aware of your weaknesses,
Aware of your beliefs,
Aware of your needs?

You may have a vague
Notion about all the above,
But can’t define any with clarity.

Make mistakes,
Learn from them, lessons,
Let’s live life with its joys
That reflect your awareness
Of successes and failures.

Your patience, reactions,
And actions define your emotions,
Those help to highlight your characters’
Flexibility when faced with adversities.

Accepting that failure isn’t an end
But a beginning; as it’s where you
Find out about yourself, and become aware.

Certificate of excellence, Restitute

Restitute

Restitution, restitution, revise, revised.
Every year, as a way to move forward
Is to look back into a year gone by.

What’s been accomplished?
What’s been neglected?
What’s yet to be done?

All questions that need an answer
But none more than the one, far
More important: those you’ve hurt,

How do you make it up to them?
How do you make restitution and cram
Your guilt of causing others pain?

My restitution comes in the form
Of facing mistakes and behaving in a norm
That puts others at ease.

Certificate of Excellence, Intentions

Intentions

Upon reflection on a year gone by,
I notice that life is short and needs to fly.

As time dissipates in the fog of winter
Storms that flog your optimism into a pauper,

I lie back and wonder …
How do I make the following year better?

My goals are set for my self-improvement,
Where I wish to feel no bereavement.

Goals are so arbitrary, that, at times
They pull you down into hades.

As I set my goals: reducing my intrusive
Conversation and being more conservative

In my opinions, but only with certain
Peoples, who lack perception.

Another goal is to write more,
Submit more, and succeed more.

I believe the latter more feasible,
As the first requires me to be more biddable.

I hope to achieve a certain censorship
As not to come to hardship.

Wishes, Certificate of Excellence

Wishes

As the countdown to 2023 starts,
My mind takes a long look behind
And wonders what wishes, surprises
Are in store for 2024 that won’t stand
Down to the tests of time.

I wish for a world of peace
I wish for a world without violence,
I wish for justice to prevail,
I wish for family strength and unity,
I wish for a world that’s compassionate and humane,
I wish for honesty to triumph over lies,
I wish that this society’s rules made sense,
I wish, I wish, I wish…

Wishing for something and achieving
Your goal are separate indeed, as
Working hard drives you to attaining
Your objective, while just wishing for it to lands
In your lap will never happen!
