Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: Love’s Masks

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

Love’s Masks

Share your inner thoughts, ideas, ideals,
That power your imagination and hails
Down upon you, admiration, envy that entails
You have to choose who needs some derails.

Today, we hide behind our likes,
Our social media personae that drives
Our self-esteem into the grounds
If it’s not up to par with your peers.

Why do we hide?
Is intimacy such a bad ride,
That you need masks to keep all inside?

Or do you soar in flight
Fall, shatter, break, and give only a bite
Out of the ball, then turn it into a free for all?

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: SANTA CLAUS, acrostic

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

SANTA CLAUS

Sunny Santa smiling funny
Another year of giving out honey
None really care about reality
To them you’re a balm of forgiveness
And forgetting troubles

Completely in
Love with compassion, empathy,
Altruism, knowing that sharing
Unfurls your beauty tenfold
Surrounding you with its peace.

Award of Appreciation

“In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.” (Rumi)


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 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.

Review of my poem: Death’s Door

Each time I get a review like this, it motivates me to write more and connect with those who can’t, or won’t, or couldn’t, or shouldn’t be able to express themselves.

This poem is a result of falling back into past trauma based on the wars that’s taking place in the Middle East, Lebanon, Syria,  and P@l3st!ne.

Love / Hate

How do you feel about cold weather?

I love cold weather on the condition that the heating system isn’t on too high that I sweat everywhere I go. I also love the white winter scenery when snow covers the ground in a white coat of innocence.  However,  I also hate how dirty a house becomes from melting snow, salt, slush, and mud.

Certificate of Achievement,  May’s Spring

My poem received the above certificate of achievement.

May’s Spring

My eyes are always turned to the sky,
Where beauty and simplicity vie
For supremacy in an empty spacy.

Birds of all kinds fly by, flocking,  migrating,
Setting new habits for their chicks’ living
Quarters that are overflowing with forests, changing
With each new flock that’s arriving.
Live honoring nature’s power,
Its giving nature that is a bower
Of safety when you need a lover
Without motives, who is only a supporter.

Embrace your brethren in humanity,
Their races receding into the vicinity
Of acceptance,  that all Man is emotionally
And physically the same, all have red blood.

Feelings, passions, and red flowing blood
Saunter into each’s body in a flood
Of confusion that needs sorting and bud,
Swamping everyone with a unique personage.

Burgeon into your character,
Let your wings flutter,
Soar like a flower petal as the breezer
Tries to alter your course, but you are its conqueror.

WORLD POETRY DAY


double acrostic

Wondrous words Whirl around and
Over a reality created by wOrlds in images, that are
Readily available foR consumption,
Leading to leveling the fieLd of wonder
Down into a frozen Dream filled with rhyming

Poetic world made up of a Plethora
Of offerings of a utopian bOunty imagined by an
Eternal imagination nevEr grinding
To a stop, as its renewed Tunneling to greater
Rewards as newer worlds aRe revealed
Yearning for the crY of revelations.

Certificate of Excellence

Love

To love or not to love

That’s another rhetorical question

Of life’s mysterious needs drive

People insane when having a conversation.

Two Certificates of Excellence

Loose not End (exert)

To lose or not to lose,
That is the question that’s not a ruse.

Failing to achieve your goals
Can be a piercing knife to souls

That fall into depression if their
Goals are delayed or failed, their flair

Is indomitable in its will to overcome obstacles
That bend your will, but it’s never broken or stills.

Betrayal (exert)

Of my country and of my family
I have little to say, except that funny
Interactions are not always sunny …

A country’s politics and sense of justice
Can disappoint. Its favor is sandy grace
That’s gritty, scratchy, and hurts in place
Of unity that proves our solidarity in face

Of torment, terror, injustice, that train
Citizens in complacency that will rain
Upon them death, disillusionment that fain
A reality that exists in dreams that are slain.
