Accolade for my poem,  Festive City

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

Festive City

Painted roofs
On a cold day, running like hoofs,
Their brilliant shine,
It’s just fine
Surrounded by pine
Covered in blinking lights
Green, red, blue, whites
That twinkle at nights
Giving rise to hope
For a future where you don’t mope,
Fall into depression
Caused by holiday celebration
That cost a liver, kidney,
That you can’t live without the key
Of life, for cheer revokes
Loneliness, sadness that provokes
Moodiness, violent cakes
Falling apart As you built a  life that makes
You proud of your veneer
That never touches ethics that peer
Within, making you stronger
For your life is lighter
As most stress is caused
By gossip’s ear, whose vanity paused
To try and emulate what others had.

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.

My poem, Cathedral Lights,  honored by Invisible Poets

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

Cathedral Lights

As the night covered the sky in a blanket
Of black,  the sudden lights in the tower
Lit up, like a Christmas tree, fit for a fight,
The most important one: Faith, prayer,

And belief in the here after
Whose work takes place in living
A life of discipline, a strength barer
For it gives you power for knowing

When to listen, stay calm, or fight.
Looking upon those brilliant
Lights is a beacon of peace at the height
Of chaos, violence, and war that can’t

Be put out, but that Cathedral,
Its age, architecture, and what it
Stands for: peace, acceptance, a call
To self-respect by realizing that belief built

The Cathedral within with all its
Grandor, elegance, survival, and brilliance
That outshines any building whose parts
Are man-made, while its faith has an innate luminescence.

Second place, Certificate of Achievement for poem: Abomination

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

Abomination

Life with depression, isolation,
Low self-esteem are conductive
To  lead some into destructive
Behavior: drugs, cutting, suicide, in submission

To peer pressure, an abomination
Played in schools and social media
Who has subliminal criteria
That provides some collateral for creation

Of a compulsion to hurt others, knowing
Of the resulting confusion that will
Lead to unfortunate decisions that kill
The will to live free of the castrating

And agitating abomination of isolation.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: A Well Told Tale

Thank you, administrators,  for the accolade.  Your work is highly appreciated.

A Well Told Tale

As September flows with fall
Leaves, school starts, and students
Congregate together in circles that ball
Their hatred into sweetened scents,

Like fall spiced cakes melting
In the palate, but goes down like
Knives tearing away confidence, striking
The most vulnerable to rise above them as they hike

Away, fleeing the hurt, depression
That steals away their happiness,
Cheer, and optimism inflicting compression
Of the heart into heated coal, unless,

Unless I come to the forefront
With an uplifting anecdote that reveals
The impunity of the instigators whose font
In capitals, try to keep their popularity that feels

Like actors on show, who need
Evidence of their power over
Others, while my short tale told
Them both that intellect and humor

Rise above vanity and inflicting pain,
As my travail reveals their shortcomings
As one hurts, while the other gain
Insurmountable damage to their self-images.

As they let my intervention sink in
The depressed learns a lesson
In strength to overcome negativity in
A world that seems to require it, as would any prison.

Certificate of Appreciation  poem:

Heart’s Key

Double acrostic

Healing, heavenly heart, reveal
Every window leading     Key that’s
Avariciously leaping into Every adventure
Relatively unscathed,       Yet, Hearts need adrenaline
To stave off the stagnation of status quo, resulting in
Siesmic depression, unless the key fits the heart.

Triple Platinum Certificate,  poem: Broken

Broken

She sits on the cold unforgiving ground,
Ground that has absorbed her bountiful tears,
Tears of a broken heart,
Heart that has seen too much loss,
Loss of family, spouse, innocence,
Innocence of the unaware of the world,
World gone mad from the needs,
Needs that are illogical, depraved,
Depraved in their unethical destructive,
Destructive nature of familial bonds,
Bonds that help communities grow,
Grow in compassion and humanity,
Humanity, that’s our commonality,
Commonality of blood and origin,
Origin in Adam, the first prophet,  man,
Man who made a mistake and fixed,
Fixed it for his progeny to prosper,
Prosper In an empty, arid land,
Land where possibilities are endlessly,
Endlessly varied for doing
Doing good or evil.
Evil that makes her ruminate,
Ruminate on her actions that’ve gotten,
Gotten her into her lonesome state,
State of depression, if she’s not careful,
Careful to an optimist working to achieve
Achieve her dreams without failed faith,
Faith that has driven depression into
Into its watery death in the river of her tears.

HELP

Help, help, help,
I wear my cloak of impotence,
Running around, graceless,
As I try to graduate from a whelp.

Help, help, help,
I thought friends, likes, and kin,
Support me in my endeavors in
Achieving success, only to fall and become strep.

Help, help, help,
Recession  is looming
People worried about famine
And every person is on a flip,

Help, help, help,
The other facet of war, hunger
Lingers and throws you back in rapport
To WWII, when all sectors crashed and none slept.

Help, help, help,
Entertain your soul with faith
Leaping into despair with a breath
Percolating freshness and sweeping away dejection.

Temple of Love

As love grows from a foundation
Of beauty,  my gaze is in contrition
For those who live devoid of love.
Leave, like, live, lively, longing to love …

As each child, man, and woman need a hive
To promote, programing all with reverence.
A need to bathe in the certitude of being
Cocooned and cherished for just existing.

With each caress, word, gaze, request,
You’re inundated with warmth that’s best
Given in daily doses, so as not to fall
Into depression that’ll turn you into a ball.
