Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Love’s Poetry

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Love’s Poetry

As light is hope and all that’s bright,
Learning to love in the sun illuminates
Your perception on values, character, that fight
To blot out negativity that’s darkened puss

That festers as an abyssimal blight
To optimism whose courage roars in
Flight to piece together poems whose bite
Is only a loving caress, as their images pin

Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled
From endured hardships but glows
With the passionate compassion of being loved.
As you shower me with languid eye’s light, the fight throws

Away the scourge of love’s broken heart
By filling papers with poems that brook
No argument to its plight in trying to strut
The words in verses and lines that cook

Your presence into the essence of love
Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes
When amour is at its best fighting in brave
Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.

Diploma Certificate for my poem,

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

Betrayal’s Ease

Shattered! Shattered mirror on the wall,
Tell me the tale of this broken heart,
Heart that was given in good faith, fall
From its bubble of joy unbound, ’till It start

Seeing a change in behavior
From her once loving spouse.
It started with little things, later
Home arrivals, short temper, grouse

As though she hasn’t accomplished
Her duties: caring for kids, perfecting
The art of home management, all his favored
Dishes made, all’s organized, unspoiled

Respect for his need to rest
After a strenuous day of work,
Not unlike hers,  but does hers count?
You might ask. The answer is, it’s all work!

Then, she finds a jeweler’s receipt,
Waits several days to receive the gift,
But nothing comes of it except pain that leapt
Creating doubt, dishonor,  hurt, she feels like a thrift

For her only treasures from him now
Are the angels asleep as she worries
What’s next.  He comes home with undies
In his pant pocket. She recognizes

The brand, of course,  it’s not hers!
She decides to shelve her negative
Assumptions,  deciding to give another’s
Chance to either talk about it or walk away to live

Without her beauty, compassion, freshness,
Empathy that come in her brand of flair,
A flair that’s still attractive, needing caress
That’ll alleviate what presses the air

Out of chocking lungs that can’t breathe
From the devastating betrayal that doesn’t ease.

Recognition Award for my poem, MOTHER’S DAY

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

#Acrostic
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 Certificate for my poem, My Love

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

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate promise In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is my star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.
As my shadow sits on the bench, alone,
My eyes mist like dew drops covering
The wet grass, as memories flood, gone,
The world has taken this love and kept living.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Rainbow of Rain

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Rainbow of Rain

Rainbowed love starts
In red hot passions
To orange hearts expanding,
To yellow glow brightening
The green of acceptance, change,
And growth whose prosperity
Turns into liquid blues,
Those of summer skies
Filled with potential of rains
That alter fallow lands
Into plentiful harvests.
The same as love’s abilities
To change others from singles
To a unit that expands
With the colors of rainbows
That are always varied,
Exiting changes that carried
Your worries under two mind
Supporting one another in a find
Filled well of love that carries
Change like loving swaddles
Embraced in four arms of loves.
The journey begins with a meeting,
Attraction, connection, all can be fleeting,
But you sacrifice, compromise, communicating
All your hopes, then, them entwining
Like the purple wisteria, two souls
Becoming one, growing a family that cools
Their stresses, soothes their anger,
As their flow is like the ocean water,
At times tranquil, others terrifying squalls
That end in making up sessions, falls,
Never, for they’re committed
To one another, wedded.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Visible Shadow

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

Visible Shadow

My shadow’s always running,
Flying, skipping, jumping behind
My every move, trying, straining
Vainly to keep up with my bustling.

Hello shadow of mine,
I hope you’re not too tired
From the acrobatics that are a vine
Binding us together, hardened

By our will to stay together.
No, no Tornado, quake, blowing wind
Will ever sever our bond, forever,
Stuck together in the drama of life’s wind.

Oh shadow, tell me what you see,
Hear, and sense that I do not.
Let your tales be my lessons to be
Forgiving, understanding, compassionate.

Oh shadow, our ties are our sacred
Vows of loyalty, honesty that’ll keep us
On the righteous path of being honored,
Understood, respected, and visible without a fuss.

Thank you,  administrators, for the honor and your hard work.  This poem is very close to my heart since it’s about mother’s and our fears.

Mom, Habibti

Mother, moma, mum, mama,
Who are you?
Are you just the giver of life?

Mom, madre, mami, mam, ma,
What would you do to protect your babe?
Legal or nefarious means?

Mother, oumi, mama, Haha, mà,
How do you love equally all your babe?
Do you prefer one over another? Why?

Mam, nanay, habibti, ema, mamma,
How do you empower all your babe?
Do you compare them and demean some?

Love me for me!
Never send me away or leave me!

Don’t break my heart to leave,
Don’t break my heart and hate me!

Happy Valentine 💝

Wishing everyone a happy day to love freely without hindrance.  Life without love becomes dreary and unlivable.

  I hope you enjoy my poem about this celebratory day of love, compassion,  understanding,  and being there For one another.

Sweet Bear

Teddy bear,  teddy bear,
Your honey colored fur is the softest
Velvet,  whose satiny sheen takes care
Of your compassionate heart
That’s all too aware of the hazards
That love has to overcome to stay
Strong in the face of peer pressures
That stung, like bee stings in play.
