Fall Sunset
The flaming sun burnishes the sky
With reds and oranges
Spilling over tree tops
Like a flame of life; Let go and Fly!

For my Fibonacci poem, Lone
Lone
One
lonely
Boy, shy
Tries making
A friend flying
Into the unknown,
Lonely. One. Loneliest
Number ever. It tests hardest
When you’re surrounded by familys’
Best, whose envy alienates you farthest.
Standing alone with a whirring world
That’s confusing, struggling blind,
Into unknowns that surround,
Bind your moves. Loud
Is the thunder around
That drowns bad
Decisions
Needing
Greater
Care.

The sun and moon have an understanding
Neither takes over the other by encroaching
On their exact time. Play their lullaby while boasing.

Prickly Rose
The thorn in the rose rose
To prick and pick the pose
Of the stone staying style
Of bone that bosses boys
From tome to tome to
Cover conversations in cold
Winter storms that hinder the hearer
From accepting and acknowledging
Avarice that alienates avowels
Of loyalty, love, and lies
That embue endless enmity.

Behind the Door
In a world where silence
Is a luxury at the core
Grab the peace
Where there’s only violence at the door.
How do you hold onto it?
How do you keep it, or
Stay sane in a fit
Where chaos is always at the door?

Moon 🌙
By the harvest moon
The lover’s moon reaches out,
Only to swoon
At the alter of harvest being picked out.
In a bout, the moons collide
The lover imposes its power
Fully intending to win and bide
His time to overpower such wonder.
As the lover reigns
The harvest gains, through pains of
The glory of feeding, with grains,
The world that’s exploding in a bluff.

Life’s Vain
Life is sometimes a Strain
But you live life as a speedy Train
That leaves you breathless in the Rain.
Don’t let people lead you to Stray
From your path, that’s like a Tray
Whose definative shape is sun’s Ray.
Don’t try to Explain
To people what’s Plain
For they’ve put their heads down and Lain.

Books Lover Day
Those of you, like me, who love books, they’ve taken a day out of the year specifically to celebrate our erudite natures. Books are my friends and confidants. They help me overcome difficulties by creating a world that’s simpler, where most rules are applicable, and most importantly, where imagination has free reign to soar.
Below is just a double acrostic poem about this special day!
Buying books isn’t for the weak, who falL
On their faces for their lack of imagination tO
Overcome life’s problems with luV,
Keen on transcending thE
Secrets of being a book buyeR

Dear Diary,
As the keeper of my secrets,
I need to confess my troubles.
I run around trying to please everyone And seem to end up alone!
As if by indulging others’ needs before mine,
I relegate my own happiness into a dark mine.
In it, the gloominess of the ambience
Is oppressive, comfortless, and has no patience.
As I squabble with my inner demons,
And my supererogation drowns my angels’ voices,
I notice that angels are a happy lot,
Who empower the self and never forgot
That there’s a price to pay for sacrificing For others, but it doesn’t need to be self-defeating.
No, no, no, and once more, no!
By helping others, you aren’t weak to
Assert your endowments to achieve
Your wishes without being demeaning,
Rather, you can help others believe
Not only in themselves, but in You.

Cowardly Courage
“Man has it all in his hands, and it all slips through his fingers from sheer cowardice.” Fyodor Dostoevsky
To be a coward,
One must:
Fear being changed,
Fear loving it,
Fear beauty,
Fear being hopeful,
Fear the inspirational,
Fear of being an individual,
Fear of being assertive,
Fear of being humane,
Fear of being disruptive,
Fear of being positive.
When all is locked in a chest,
How can you break its best
From solid bonds that need a rest?
Take pride in ‘you’, the ‘person’,
Have faith in yourself and press on,
Knowing that what’s right will live on!
