Diploma for my poem, Rose’s Deity

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Roses’ Deity

Oh Aphrodite,  your white roses
Bloom to honor your deity, a groom
Of reverence to unwavering gloom
That pricked himself and turned them reds.

Yet those peaceful doves bestow
Calm innocence facing despair
With only thorns as weapons to repair
The damage done to the chaos that’ll blow

Up in the faces of those who’ve
Forgotten the hymns of gratitude
That revel in atonement embued
In simple living, where new beginnings have

Been lauded for their vision
Of graceful kindness, given, returned,
Through the fragile fairness, whose scent attracted
Its audience into presiding over confusion

With leadership in radiance,
Transparent in its intentions,
Gracious in its need for interventions
That create connections, reverence

For simple human kindness.

Accolade for my poem, Dear Thanksgiving

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Dear Thanksgiving,
Your presence among us is heartening,
It elevates our appreciation for the thing
We have or don’t have, we are harvesting

The sows of our deeds, those
We’ve planted throughout the years, in rows
Watching, waiting their blossoming woes
Interceding, only when needed like crows

We broadcast our successes, never
Our failures, though we learn never to cower
From the latter, as they build character.
Be kindly appreciative, live in acceptance better.

Our obsession of sharing has become a groveler

For attention when the creator
Has provided senses, nature, power
Of knowledge,  might, imagination that languish
If not bolstered by appreciation for the giver.

Keep us honest and return daily
Reminding us that deity
Is a necessity for hope’s flighty
Flight Into overcoming gravity.

Certificate for my poem,

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

MOTHER’S DAY

Mom, mother, Mami, marvelous mediator
Overly compassionate, loving, and
True to her calling: nurturer, teacher,
Healer, holds your comfort in her palm
Envy all who have a mother like her
Resonating in empowering her child
‘Supplicating GOD for guidance

Daily to be a better mom, hoping not to
Ascend into heaven before ascertaining
Your happiness at the expense Of her health.

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.

My poetry is honored again: My Last Five Minutes

My Last Five Minutes

I sit up,
Look up,
Firing my appreciation
To God, in whose contemplation,
Veneration, I’m engrossed
In my thanks to all that
I’ve got, that’s on the spot:
Family to love and cherish,
Kin to pray and think of me as I perish,
Friends who’ll miss my presence,
As our discussions cover matters that hence
Ruminate over social changes
Trending through social media’s
Imposing pressure over all genders
And age groups who’ve surrenders
Their freedom to bondage
Of our sovereignty over our charge:
Our immortal soul, whose barred
From its morality,  replaced
By being led to sins that destroy
Your connection to the all mighty,  a ploy,
To reduce believers that rebel against sins of plurality.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Masked Wonder

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

Masked Wonder

Dressed in her ivory maskerade ballgown,
Her golden mask, sitting holding a frown,
Wondering carelessly why their return
Was before the clock struck one.

She stands by the shore a glow bathed
Her translucent skin brightly locked
In wonder, as she gazes through the darkened
Sky lit by a brilliant moon and stars, dangled

In clusters, creating images and a haze
Of moving light surrounding the blaze
Of hope and wonder that are cause
For our betterment and flays the craze

Of depression’s loneliness that she
Left behind, as the music was too loud a bee,
She stirs from her pose of repose to see
And appreciate the beauty and comfort that be

Her succor as she contemplates
The dichotomy of a world at wars
While the other lives freely and creates
Memories, while the other loses or dies.

Sunrise or Sunset

What’s your favorite time of day?

Sunrise and sunset, the colors, the hope, the beauty of each transcends their transience. The quiet of each is a time of reflection that I take in order to assess what I’ve accomplished each day. I question my decisions, were they right? Did I hurt anyone? What can I do to make amends? But, most importantly, I take the time to voice my gratitude for the things I have and those I don’t.

Let the beauty of those times enrobe you in their mystery and hope propelling you into the unknown with a positive outlook.
