Ramadan Mubarak

May this holy month bring you all beauty,  peace of mind, health, prosperity,  and time for the supplication necessary for us to achieve Janna, heaven.

RAMADAN

Remember to be kind

Artful, artistic, an arrow of rightfulness

Memorizing more verses of the Quor’an

Divine intervention for our souls

Amply rewarded for our supplication

Never doubt ALLAH, GOD, will make things easier if your faith is strong.

Verses of Soul present my poem: Lonely Bench,  with this certificate

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

Lonely Bench

As the empty, lonely bench
Stands alone in the park’s empty lane
That was filled with pattering feet, clench
Their hands together, riding, running, fain

The need to socialize, expanding
Energy, that seems boundless,
Enjoying the freedom of summer, fleeting,
As those moments become heartless

Dissipating into the waiting emptiness
Of autumn’s fiery colors blessedly
Oblivious that summer’s cheer
Has receded into the sky’s grey, charcoaly

Horizon, never to return the same
But better, if one appreciates their
Significance: nature’s hibernation came
With a time in spring, rejuvenation’s care

That dares to bloom again,
From a seeming emptiness that’ll
Gain depth, strength,  beauty that’ll train
The eye into its wondrous refrain.

Award of Appreciation for my poem

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

Spontaneous Flight

How do you spread your
Wings to let love’s happiness in and pour?
How does peace get a slice
When stress has a price?
How do you keep your purity
Alive when faced with depravity?

They all come easily when faith,
Spirituality have a strong breath
That lightens a load in stealth,
Streaming a warm breeze
Into a leaden heart, a squeeze
Of the slithers of sneaky suppression
Of dark whispers causing depression.

Let the light of love, purity,
Peace and joy spread their security
In a balm of comfort and spontaneity.

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

Sacred Light

The bare tree stands alone,
Alone, with its empty branches,
Branches reaching up, up into the sky,
Sky in supplication’s gratitude,
Gratitude that a sliver of light,
Light lights up the road in white,
White snow blanketing the roads,
Roads of life filled with their twists,
Twists, turns, and upheavals,
Upheavals testing your fortitude,
Fortitude in your strength to stand,
Stand alone, facing ice, gales, storms,
Storms that tempt you to give up,
Give up the faithful fight,
Fight in knowing that to survive,
Survive is a sacred right,
Right of passage that’ll bite,
Bite into your faith to self-destruct,
Destruct under social pressure,
Pressure that requires nothing,
Nothing except following your desires,
Desires that lead you astray,
Astray from the path of faith,
Faith lighting your darkest,
Darkest hour with a sparkle,
Sparkle that doesn’t fade.

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.

Certificate of Excellence,  poem, Existential Void

Thank you, administrators, for your hard work,  and for choosing my poem for such an honor.

Existential Void


Double Accrostic


Extenuating circumstances       Vie to the
Xysti to try and rest                     Omitting
Intentionality of an existental voId
Sublimating intensions of       Destructively
Tumultuous wars within that try to
Eradicate despair’s darkest emptiness,
Never allowing it to overflow with
The love, faith needed to defy    Villany
Interminable in its need to destrOy
Astronomical strength that         Intensifies
Living in the light of hope, never Denouncing the void.

Certificate of Outstanding,  poem, The Cycle of Life

Thank you administrators for the honor 🎖

The Cycle of Life

Life, birth, wedding, and death
Are the closed cycle of life’s
Unending strive to surmount its stresses.

The closed circle cycles in an infinite loop
Starting with an infant, needing an endless group
To help with the raising of those so dependent.

Youth and the need for friendship and peers
Is the first of many changes rolling fears
Into those struggling with new responsibilities.

Adults have to balance the circles
Of friends,  family, spouse, collegues, and babes
Creating an equilibrium that feeds their joy’s
Rather than their emptiness, loneliness.

Seniors bend and flex back into a state
Of infancy, dependency, and put a stake
In what they perceive as the end, death.
But is death an end or a start?

Does the cycle end?
Or is it perpetuated in a new bend
That begins after one’s end?

What comes first: the beginning or the ending
The egg or the chicken,  the mother or child?
Where does it all really end?

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.
