Hand in hand they stroll along the shore Sandy footprints dissappear as swiftly As they’re made, as their hands swing Freely under the warm daylight, sunny
Ritulant rays caressing the fleeting time That becomes nothing but memory Imprinted on her heart, heavy crime Of loss’ grime, leaving a residue of a ghostly
Chime of forgotten laughter, Cuddles on scratchy sand that lingers Longer than loss’ clam, whose wonder In living without her partners’
Support, that she’s not a fan. She gazes into the horizon Waiting for a sign of rejoining the pan That simmered with their love, not a poison
That could separate their camaraderie, Understanding both weaknesses And strengths that made the family An unbreakable unit whose support suppresses
Stresses and anxieties built In society to promote division Of familial bonds so that compassion Is lost, replaced by materialism and guilt.

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.

Sunrise
Every day, without fail, the sun rises It shines its intangible Rays, like fingers Caressing your skin, body and limbs. Everyone of them ends in special memories, As each day brings in new events. Some times, those are sad and lonely, Others are depressing and gravely Affect your humor and oddities. They can take you into a dark abyss Of despair, and return with cheers. Inspire you to believe in one more sunrise, That lifts you above the murky fogs, Into clouds, of such pristine whites, That their glare overpowers, While your fogged windows, from your breaths Show your anticipation forwards To one more unbelievable sunrise, That becomes your muse for life’s Unending wonder, transience, and colors. Rainbows of which come out after the rains, Reminding those bogged down to rise Rise to the challenge of beauty and lived lives.

My poem, Life Captured, is reviewed by a highly respected poet, Matt Elmore. He’s a poet, author, and group administrator for the Invisible Poets on Facebook and much more. The prompt is of writing a metonym poem. I’d written this a few years ago during a difficult time in my life. I hope you can identify the metonym:
Life Captured
Looking at life through the aperture of a lens Narrows your vision to only what it presents, Everything else is eliminated, erased. What happens to that backdrop that disappeared? Is your memory faulty, that it too evaporates it? Or is your memory vibrant enough to retain it? Or would you prefer to eradicate it?
There are times in life where having a limited View of an event can alter its meaning, and Dissipate its importance into nothing, For its effect on you, casual at best. Reliving Them is unremarkable, dispensable, and dreary Creating unnecessary despair when life is for living.
Other times when a complete view is compulsory For understanding and acting favorably. At such times, no minute detail is unnecessary, For they all create a holistic picture of the unsavory Events that play out in movie format, brilliantly Vivid in its details, sounds, smells, and actionably.
The scenes are relentless in their motions As they unveil their worthiness to us As the aperture of life is just a version Of all that’s around us, filming, storing, Even deleting or omitting the undeserving, Challenging the lies or liars, stating only verity, flying!!!!

A simple ‘Wish for Peace’, where children play, innocently not wake in fear as they hear a plane pass them by; where families have a right to live together, where death comes only by accident or age, where the need for justice is stronger than making money, and where prosperity is achievable. I hope this International Day for Peace brings up REAL PEACE.
Wish for Peace
The fragile beauty of the dandelion In my hand whose grip on land Dares you to eradicate its presence in Zion As it spreads through the wish for peace to lend
A hand to those in need of a blend Of peace in their days of suffering Without end. Wish for peace for them to send
Their children to schools With filled bellies of fresh food Sprinkled with life giving water that drools In honor of a wish for peace that stood
On the doorstep waiting, waiting Patiently for humanity’s response To help save those whose beliefs, never straying, Empowers their wish for peace
