Diploma for my poem,  Book’s Visionary

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Book’s Visionary

Creating a world with paper and pen,
I watch my vision evolve to stun in a den
Of books, windows to the unknown,

They litter the shelves, organized
In alphabetical order for all it’s simplified,
But those unique books, mine, and those grown

In power as time passed, and some
Tried to surpass their Ideology that come
With experience, social living, wearing a crown

Of knowledge,  practicality, friendship
That coalesce Into strong leadership
As your intellect expanded with the blown

Exposé of things that seem foreign
As your experience is limited to the line
Of things taught to you not learned with a frown

As you explore its meaningful message
While you look at other references, not a cage,
To amplify your understanding its daily application

Not just learning but doing, changing.
That’s the purpose of books of all genres, rebelling.

Diploma for my poem, Dream Fields of Lavender

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Dream Fields of Lavender

We are wild and winded
Riding the rippling stallion’s back
Into a field of lavender colored
Flowers, delicate in their appearance but lack
Any real fragility, as they grow
And spread into a sea of lilac bow

That drives the people wild
As they crow their rhyme, beating
Out a rhythm that is sublime, but rend
A passionate response by the carting
Of bales of lilacs to make dyes
That represent the beauty that never dies.

As the field is emptied of its glorious
Harvest, people celebrate their reaping
Rewards with feasts, delicious
In aroma, taste and hail the bounty creeping
Into their bower, making them stronger,
Heartier, and better survivor.

Diploma for my poem, Dualities

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

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 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.

Diploma for my poem, The Sea

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

The Sea

Colors,  oh Colors of the sea
Dazzle my eyes to see

Your beauty’s blue hues
That impress our views

Of many blues: turquoise blues,
Greenish blue, yellowish browns, in special purviews

Where waves clamor to touch shore
In an uproar of rebellion against the sand floor

That speaks to capture its treasures
By displaying them to humanity’s burrs

As their speech, music, song, laughter
Only receed as the sun explodes in color

In a splendor of yellows and reds
That blend into sparrows of reeds

Changing in harmony with the depth of
Fear that time ends with this falling night that’s enough.

I sit in wonderment on the seashore
In contemplation to be sure

That life rises and falls,
Happiness comes in waves and balls,

While nature of the sea stays true,
Unchanging except for the season’s blue,

So enjoy the joy of the quiet balm breeze with
Compensation for a troden soul lifted to breathe.

Diploma for my poem, Give and Steal

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Give and Steal

With one hand they give out arms
To propagate war, a war that divides
Brothers, using the old, we’ll proven
Adage of ‘Divide and Conquer’, unbidden

The conqueror strives to reduce
The power of the people through the curse
Of avarice and the need to wield
Dominion  over others in an open field

Where, whe the warring parties
Are busy murdering each other, their advocators
Pillage Africa, South Asia and America, all resources
Are tied up under their rule, while others dies:

Their wealth increases exponentially,
Their lies and division become award worthy,
For they manipulate facts to their advantage, cruelty
Being their aim for it’s their weapon that’s entirely

Too effective in keeping people in line
When they wish only for freedom, not grime,
Using resources to empower the country
Not the conqueror, manipulator,  who’ll destroy

Without conscience, compassion,
Humanity,  for the longer they play the game
The greater the death toll, division
That increases the gap that need a bridge and time

To overcome the differences instilled
By an aggressor whose purpose is power.

Diploma for my poem, Sunrise’s Qualm

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Sunrise’s Qualm

As the sun rises, illuminating the fields
With a golden hue, I open my window
To bare witness, in silence, to the brew that leads
To hopes clinging to harvests that blow

Your senses with their generosity:
In beauty that’s uplifting,
In harvests that keep hunger at bay by
Providing healthy nutrition while quieting

The doubts from within, whose heads
Try to rise above the sun, yet it steals
Its effectiveness delivering leads
Whose purpose is to uplift you from reels

Of horror that embue despair
Without a care for frailty, disrepair’s
Power travels within susuration’s flair
That are seemingly quiet, but bares

Your soul to mistrust your power
For the buzzing of disrespect
Causes pain in every aspect that’ll glower
At the rest to subdue your rebel’s act

As to have a stake in controlling
Your actions that protect humanity,
It’s lands to stave famine, opposing
The status quo is to rise to the top with quiet unity.

Diploma for my poem, Therapeutic

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Therapeutic

The seascape, verdant in color,
Coalesces green and blue hues in favor
Of reds, purples, and yellows of sunsets, brighter.

The water flows in cadence with my heart,
A beat that travels within the water’s part.
I fling myself within it, swimming at my leisure; start.

Enjoying the feel of the silky water
As it envelopes my body with heat, that’s better
Than being alone as I sweep away tears: left for later.

They would stain my paper and ink,
Telling me it was time for a break
From life’s realities that weigh me to the brink.

At the sea, the smells, painted sky,
The sounds of crashing waves hitting the shore by
The second are therapy for a broken soul to fly.

Diploma for my poem: Sounds of War

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

Sounds of War

Drum, drum, drum,
Drum the stoned bun,
Turn it around and run.

Drum, drum, drum,
The hum of whizzing stones
Drop like bombs on bones.

Crunch, crunch, crunch,
Rush to flee debris from a thump
That hits the head, and you’re dead! No pomp!

Stomp, stomp, stomp,
On the stoned cement
Fallen from bombardment ..

Cave, cave, cave,
Under the hopelessly inhumane
Conditions of decayed bodies, pain …

Rotting, rotting, rotting
Away in the streets, floors underground
With broken walls, furniture burying you, never found …

Slowly, slowly, slowly,
Killing you with death around you,
Within you, captivating you in its horror’s view.

Boom, boom, boom,
The shaking, quaking resulting
In fear spreading like bird songs floating …

Wheezing, wheezing, wheezing,
Trying to breathe under the rubble
Is like being buried alive in moving sands in a cuddle.

Diploma for my poem: Ramadan Goodbye

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

Ramadan Goodbye

As the last prayers of the night end,
Tears rain down on the ground
Turning into a pond,

A pond filled with sorrow as fasting
Ends, our togetherness stuttering,
Our veneration For HIM unending.

Though the days for repentance
Will return in another year, I hope my lance
Of piety, strength in faith will take a stance

In the forefront of my life
Never leaving my side to be rife
With uncertainty that leads to strife.

Oh ye days of Quranic revelation
Come back swiftly with permission
To stay longer in our hearts as compassion,

Veneration and humbleness stay
Enslaved within our hearts to pray
For your return and never be gray.
