fleeting – Poetry for Change

Silver Certificate for my poem, Lonely Bench

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Lonely Bench

As the empty, lonely bench
Stands alone in the field’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 bloomed 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.

Diploma Certificate for my poem, Pose

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

Pose?

To pose or not to pose?
That’s the question on this day of non-repose.
She stands, elegant, regal,
Smiling into his chocolaty eyes, fall,
Falling into his soothing pool of love.

The depth of emotions that hiss
And run deeper than any abyss,
This moment in time will never come
Back again, for its novelty’ll dim
But never die in the pyre of time,

It’ll grow and flow into their
Joint lives of adoration as their
Tears of joy and sadness blend
Into sysmic waves that thrashed
Many a couple, but Not them!

Time will try to siphon their
Joint time into darkness, but their care
Will stomp on time’s vain
Attempt to suck out the rain
Turning it into a melodic refrain.
