PARAPET

P restigious rampart, tall, stony
A ll encompassing strength to ward of
R aging aggression against attackers whose
A varice for aquiring infinite power, killing
P eople over the parapet, a symbol of their
E ternal strength as they conquer
T heir own fears through mayhem’s murder.

Certificate of Achievement,  FORGIVENESS, acrostic

FORGIVENESS

Forge your will in steal,
Outmaneuver your enemies, who feel,
Replete in knowing they’re the heel.
Give them your support when they fall,
Inspire them to be better than before.
View their progress and motivate before you bore,
Inverting foe to friend, like before.
Never lose hope for betterment
Even when all is stacked against you,
Simmer the anger, put logic to the forefront
Survive, learn, educate, that hope is never gone.

1 Diamond and 2 Certificates of Excellence in 1 day!

Silver Light

Silver light shines so bright,
Reflects on your surface in a fight
To blot out the blight
Of oppressive night.

As it shimmers on the lake
At night, it dances with shadows, fake
In their adulation of your stake
In everything that’s ensconced in black.

Its silver sheen is reminiscent
Of the clouds’ silver lining that bent
The impossible to their heaven sent
Hope that relies on faith not being absent.

Certificate of excellence, Drum Roll, Die

Drum Roll, Die 

Life’s dreams of roses and colored glasses
Have been assassinated by explosions,
Devastation, destruction of homes and gardens,
Where flowers and innocence grew.
In their place, fog, smog, smoke spew
Chocking breaths and arrest hearts that drew
Their last drummer’s beat and fell in death’s pew.
When will their year of restitution
Come to being a realization?
When will they experience the exhiliration
Of being free without groveling?
When will their neighborhoods be overflowing,
Rehousing them, others, a community not governing?

Patience, faith, and unity will invariably
Win the fray always knowing the end is ‘liberty’
While social development soars accordingly.

Double Bronze certificate, Feared Full Moon

Feared Full Moon

On a full moon, the fog enrobes
The barren tree branches,
One of which holding twin carrion birds
Waiting for the opportune moment to pounces.

They watch furtively as ghostly
Figures of varying shapes, try
To dance around the grand piano’s harmony
Of Gothic, suspenseful cacophony

That puts the ghosts in a daze,
Floating to and fro, getting closer to the blaze
Of screeching, caterwauling cries, phase
In and out as new spirits float in a craze

To reach the soul wrenching
Sounds of agony, depression, leering,
Expecting to be driven to healing
From their sweet suffering that’s heart rending.

Certificate of excellence, Restitute

Restitute

Restitution, restitution, revise, revised.
Every year, as a way to move forward
Is to look back into a year gone by.

What’s been accomplished?
What’s been neglected?
What’s yet to be done?

All questions that need an answer
But none more than the one, far
More important: those you’ve hurt,

How do you make it up to them?
How do you make restitution and cram
Your guilt of causing others pain?

My restitution comes in the form
Of facing mistakes and behaving in a norm
That puts others at ease.

Certificate of excellence, Misty Fog

Misty Fog

Fog’s hazy dream world drizzled
Down the mountain side, as the sun’s rays fizzled
Into its relentless brume and lays its web,
Like a spider setting up its nest in fab
Tradition, that calls prey to its behest.

The scene above and below is covered
In a dreamy gauze that needs not be applauded,
As the blurry vision reflects a reality
Few wish to face: life is shady,
Never clear cut, rather its variety, at best,

Its unpredictability takes you away from absolutes
That are limiting in their scopes as brutes
That wrench your rosy world into chaos
Of flutes whose mellow, ethereal sounds floss
Your heart into airy contentment lest …

It dissipates, like the misty miasma in a royal crest.

Certificate of appreciation

Lone

As I embrace the quiet night,
I let the calm moon flutter through my thought:
Plans, schedules, frivolity, wonder
That wanders in the quagmire
Of broken dreams that I will
My fortitude to take note and grill
The negativity, charred into dust
Of solitude that is a necessary gust.
