Triple Platinum Certificate,  poem: Broken

Broken

She sits on the cold unforgiving ground,
Ground that has absorbed her bountiful tears,
Tears of a broken heart,
Heart that has seen too much loss,
Loss of family, spouse, innocence,
Innocence of the unaware of the world,
World gone mad from the needs,
Needs that are illogical, depraved,
Depraved in their unethical destructive,
Destructive nature of familial bonds,
Bonds that help communities grow,
Grow in compassion and humanity,
Humanity, that’s our commonality,
Commonality of blood and origin,
Origin in Adam, the first prophet,  man,
Man who made a mistake and fixed,
Fixed it for his progeny to prosper,
Prosper In an empty, arid land,
Land where possibilities are endlessly,
Endlessly varied for doing
Doing good or evil.
Evil that makes her ruminate,
Ruminate on her actions that’ve gotten,
Gotten her into her lonesome state,
State of depression, if she’s not careful,
Careful to an optimist working to achieve
Achieve her dreams without failed faith,
Faith that has driven depression into
Into its watery death in the river of her tears.

Double Gold Certificate: Vanity’s Curse

Vanity’s Curse

From the swirling darkened fog
A wisp of a gorgeous woman
Wrapped haphazardly in blood red smog
Alive in its flow as she moves, an

Astounding beauty, captivatingly attractive,
Sensual, and her sexuality bared for
All to consume closely and become enraptusured
By a fiery beauty hiding an insidious core,

Horrifically rotten with envy,
Hatred, corruption, aggression,
All coalesce within her stare, a visionary
Of destruction, disunity, strife that lend to perfection

Into her spiderweb of infractions
That destroy unity’s equality
And fairness that require absolutions
From a community that venerates all that’s holy.

Wherever there’s equanimity
She presents chaos and superfluous vanity.

Triple Silver Certificate for poem: Wander at Night

Wander at Night

Exert

A night
When the moon is shining bright
Lights up the darkened road as he
Walks alone, with his cane

Illuminating his path at night
As the forests and mountains fight
To cover the dirt road combating
For supremacy, as he walks by thinking…

Gold Certificate for my poem: Portait of Regret

Portait of Regret

Pastels enrobe her, twilight presses her,
As fiery hues caress her face and hands,
As she holds a pink rose to her nose, smells
Its fragrant aroma, as she turns away for fear

And regret grip her aching heart,
As regret, twists her emotions,
Rendering her vulnerability flagrant
And easily susceptible to sensations

Running deep into a heart full
Of compassion, empathy that’s taken
Advantage of, for her convictions cull
People into rightful categories that blacken

Her illusions in kin, friends, and humanity’s
Ability to stand together against
Violence, aggression, destruction, and their powers’
Of being judge and jury to who’s allowed to lives.

Platinum Certificate, Knight’s Courage

Exert of my poem

Knight’s Courage

Rapunzel, oh, Rapunzel,
Why are you hidden
Away in a tower bell
Too high to climb when bidden?

Oh Rapunzel, sing me
A song to entrance my mind
With your harmonious sounds, bidding me
To unfurl my courage, that’s in a bind, …

Triple Silver Certificate, Strawberry Moon

Strawberry Moon

The strawberry moon lights the night
Sky, with its radiance that illuminates
The bridge, as though a spotlight
Is placed on its center that highlights

Its empty, serene wonder,
That transcends time and place
To amaze you with its purposeful power
That helps nature become alive in a thrice

As you watch the moonbeams
Caress and hover across the verdant
Trees, bushes whose beourgeoning leaves
Are bathed in its heavenly glow, brilliant

In its choices of a scene out of a
Painter’s portait of the beauty nature hides.

Platinum Certificate, Wish for 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

For a new generation without
The need to revisit the trauma of today’s
Dire escalations of genocides in a bout
Of cataclysmic fear whose only wish is for peace.

Two Certificates of Excellence, Feast’s Unity & Jailed Wine

Feast’s Unity

Crave the jubilation of feasting,
every religious ceremony that binds
lonely souls into a community
even if they are racially, culturally different,
but, all enemity is set aside when celebrating the
revival of humanity’s compassionate understanding.
arrows from Cupid’s bow hits its
target and transforms aggression
into love, friendship, jubilation,
owning that positivity, propagating it, and
never letting pessimism or negativity
spring into the forefront without a care,

And only those ungenerous with their humanity
forgo gatherings that uplift the soul.

jumping into the fray, with all the
overgrown children’s merriment
Yields a time filled with astounding wonder.

Jailed Wine

The wine flute, amber colored,
Glistens in the light twighlight, caged,
Jailed in a bird cage, vainly
Trying not to succomb to the dainty
Elixir of fire that has become
The world’s addiction to overcome

Insecurities, depression, isolation
Amidst the many, as she, elegant sophistication,
Carries the caged wine, daintily
Trying not to spill its contents, precisely
Measured for the utmost enjoyment,
As she crosses the sands of time in bewilderment.

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.
