Babe’s Phoenix

Mother whose despair is like
Acrid smoke of burnt flesh
Surrounds her nightly course of fresh
Baked corpses whose breaths are a pike

Of fear that death is near,
But she carries hope on her hip
Cradled against her breast, a trip
She makes daily carrying life, as sear

Of a future, a Phoenix from the ash
Rises in the form of the innocent
Babe she holds, close to heart, bent
On giving it her life’s blood, brash

In the knowledge that her milk
Will sustain it while it syphons
Her health as nutrients, tons
Are unavailable, and sacrifice is silk

For her baby to grow on,
A Phoenix born from fire, passion,
Compassion, empathy, a fashion
That enrobes the babe, soar and don

Its firey feathers on display,
A life lived with dignity, glory,
Unparallelled beauty that’s never gory
Rather, it’s fascinating, never grey

Full of life where freedom
Expires in the ashes of
The Phoenix’s Rise, newly born, stuff
Of myth and legends alike ends’ never come.

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.

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Exert from my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change.

Trapped Humanity

A light breeze picks up and flings dried leaves
Into the air scraping along the asphalt and grass.
Outside, the sun is shining brightly, but within
The window, where the air is stale from fear of pain
Everyone seems to be hiding behind squares of glass
Letting life pass them by as their isolation presses
Down on their sanity, and cabin fever rises.
People’s tempers become unbearable,
Spouses, children, friends, and close ones
Bear the brunt of each other’s ire, sparingling
They calm one another, worrying how long
This pandemic will stop the living from really living.

It feels like the walls are closing in on me,
Where none were there before.
Don’t let your confinement bind your movement,
Health, prayer, belief, courage, and helpfulness.
Your humanity, sanity, and health will be no less
Important in understanding one another’s plight,
And disdaining those who have so little value for light,
Life, liveliness, and loving, a death sentence, bright
In its suffocating need to oppress
While faith is for the living that’ll never press
Depression into hearts stagnant from hibernation.

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.

Vintage Champion

Breakfast is the most important meal,
Meal, so, yes, daily coffee is a must,
Must have my routine lined up into a dot,
Dot of care and reverence for health,
Health vital to survival as coffee,
Coffee is my best friend to lend,
Lend a hand in preparing a champion’s,
Champion’s nutrients in a vintage,
Vintage kitchen, where Lucy’s prancing,
Prancing elegantly from station to,
Station to gather all ingredients for,
For a nutritious meal, giving you fuel,
Fuel to attain success in your day,
Day of conflict, within and without,
Without flaying under the pressure,
Pressure of navigating social endeavors,
Endeavors that need a will of steel,
Steel, like your strength, unlimited,
Unlimited by the dire press of a lack,
Lack of self-confidence that brings,
Brings you down into the depths,
Depths of the darkened abyss, a cave,
Cave of knotted bliss of doubt.

Five times a week

How often do you walk or run?

I walk almost daily. It’s one way for me I de-stress and stay physically fit. At my age, running isn’t recommended, but I do speed walk and do at least 5 kilometers. When I walk with my husband, the walk becomes a 10Km fast paced walk! Yep, he had to train me, slowly but surely, to reach that goal. I can’t thank him enough for his support.
