My poem, Trapped Humanity,  published in ILA Magazine

Thank you  for the honor and your hard work.

Exert from my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed poetry for change.

Trapped Humanity

A light breeze picks up and flings dried leaves
Into the air scraping along the asphalt and grass.
Outside,  the sun is shining brightly, but within
The window, where the air is stale from fear of pain
Everyone seems to be hiding behind squares of glass
Letting life pass them by as their isolation presses
Down on their sanity, and cabin fever rises.
People’s tempers become unbearable,
Spouses, children, friends, and close ones
Bear the brunt of each other’s ire, sparingling
They calm one another, worrying how long
This pandemic will stop the living from really living.

It feels like the walls are closing in on me,
Where none were there before.
Don’t let your confinement bind your movement,
Health, prayer, belief, courage, and helpfulness.
Your humanity, sanity, and health will be no less
Important in understanding one another’s plight,
And disdaining those who have so little value for light,
Life, liveliness, and loving, a death sentence, bright
In its suffocating need to oppress
While faith is for the living that’ll never press
Depression into hearts stagnant from hibernation.

Award of Appreciation for my poem,

Thank you, Krishna Walikar,  for the honor and your hard work.

Problems’ Peace

Problems, Problems galore gyrating
To a beat only they perceive, thumping
Blood into vessels that can’t cope with ease
As anxiety and worry are a great tease.

Running is a breeze as playing
The ostrich is quite frankly abetting
The delay of facing what you fear,
The problem that has you sleepless, but you revere

Your lack of confrontation that hurts,
You think it would be too harsh and hurts
Others, in reality, the pain is transient
When the logical mind realizes its penchant

For hiding from problems only
Delays the enviable explosion that rarely
Comes without detrimental effects
That affect the resolution of the pests,

That carry within them the ability
To destroy from within peace’s fragility.

Accolade for my poem,  Button Moulder

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

Button Moulder

Button molds are varied in colors,
Shapes, sizes, materials that alters
The appearance of our clothing
Making us better looking.

As the button moulder statue made
From shoulders, one arm folded, never faded,
Enormous binoculars for gazing
At life’s beauty through peering

From the button’s eye, never veiled
By social screens of a fast-paced
Life filled with the ultra superficial
That tends towards the unforgiveable

That’s filled with violence of blood,
Addiction that lives in your blood,
Actions that turn a child into an orphan,
Stomping on other’s rights to be open,

Open to immorality that needs
To destruction of family unity that breeds
Bonds of compassion, empathy, forgiveness
That our superficiality doesn’t harness

The power of discipline,  strength of will,
Faith and belief in yourself that’ll never fall
For if society embued us with that, then
Rebellion would ensue as a ban for politics with pen.

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

#Acrostic
MOTHER’S DAY

Mom, mother, Mami, marvelous mediator
Overly compassionate, loving, and
True to her calling: nurturer, teacher,
Healer, holds your comfort in her palm
Envy all who have a mother like her
Resonating in empowering her child
‘Supplicating GOD for guidance

Daily to be a better mom, hoping not to
Ascend into heaven before ascertaining
Your happiness at the expense Of her health.

Diploma Certificate for my poem, My Love

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

My Love

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.

Award of Appreciation for my poem,

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

Bound Butterfly

Though her wrists be bound
Their elegance and movement do astound
Their delicate strength holds life
In its tiny yet powerful softness rife

With rules: social, gender, political
That bind her moves further and dell;
Arms bound In chains as a butterfly rises above,
A symbol of fragility,  metamorphosis, love,

Beauty that instigates the ability
To change, adapt into new environment, happily
Flitting through life knowing, knowing
Its beauty will soar from plain to crumbling

Mountains spreading knowledge,
Purity of heart,  its muse for an adage
That’ll live on after the butterfly ‘s death
And the bound woman, but their breath

Filled with hope flies, like a kite,
Spreading harmony, that’s always bright.

Accolade for my poem, Sky, Soil, God

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Sky, Soil, GOD

As I look above, the sky’s scintillating
Colors, whether sunrise, twighlight, sunset, or night
They inspire moods that vary, like colors devoting
Beauty to your every versatility,  like a kite
In flight, I realize, GOD, is all around
Doling out beauty for joy that’s found

In being beside you when times
Are exciting,  cheerful,  depressing,
When you look down upon ecosystems
Surrounding you with miracles, outstanding
In their simplicity: ant home, beehives,
Even larger predators, the need survives

In each one, human, animal, insect,
Knowing YOU’RE present everywhere
Above, below, and at our side. In fact,
That knowledge is what initiate
Our appreciation for all GOD’S creations,
Innately aware of your presence’s jubilations

That empower all to subjugate
Negativity with optimism, transforming, like sunrise,
Our core into being compassionately humane.
