Diploma Certificate for my poem, Strangers in the Night

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

Strangers In The Night

Strangers in the night,
Passing through a fright,
Gambling away all their might!

Strangers in the night,
Forever zipping away in a light
Moment,  not planning out for a long blight.

Passing strangers in the night,
Help us unwind, as we spill our plight,
Knowing there are no consequences to our tongue’s flight.

Passing strangers travel together at night,
Sharing secrets, hoarding their feelings of fright,
As Atlas did for the Greeks to keep them in the fight.

Passing strangers in the night,
Shake, tremble, and vibrate suffering in darkened light,
So that it envelopes them from within and out in bright light.

Passing strangers dancing in the night
Celebrate life’s gifts of unveiled secret height
That confines your freedom to be bright at night.

Ramadan Mubarak

May this holy month bring you all beauty,  peace of mind, health, prosperity,  and time for the supplication necessary for us to achieve Janna, heaven.

RAMADAN

Remember to be kind

Artful, artistic, an arrow of rightfulness

Memorizing more verses of the Quor’an

Divine intervention for our souls

Amply rewarded for our supplication

Never doubt ALLAH, GOD, will make things easier if your faith is strong.

Honored to be a part of this group, Deemflum Falls

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor and your hard work 👏 🙏

Deemflum Falls

In the icy winter frost, the visit
To Niagara Falls is a balm on a troubled
Soul whose daily anxieties transform into mist
That continually rise above the falls, unmoved
By the chaotic madness of a world
Filled with death, murder, violence,
And destruction that require you to hold
Onto your sanity by turning to the deemflum face

Of letting your worries evaporate,
Like the misty fog, into skies so blue,
They pierce into a heart rarely in sync with fate
As the cacophony of splashing sheets of true

Blue raise your spirit into a haven
Of quietude balanced by the icy
Crunch of frozen shelves shedding cotton
Balls through the air like rainy

Pellets that strike a balance
Between the reality and what’s imaginary.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem: Ignoring Lies

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

Ignoring Lies

As the media plays its deceptive role
In the humanitarian atrocities taking place,
We witness two radically, opposing
Perspectives playing out without understanding

Which reality takes precedence,
Nor which realities are factual without presence
Of alterations to increase dramatization
That skews perspectives of oppression

And horror of the atrocities faced
By victims of an unending war, as they prayed
For absolution of their sins while witnessing
Death’s magnanimous stealth, stealing

Away an easy end with a suffucating breath
That gurgles out, indecisive if life is better than death.
Who’s to say that opposing deceit
Is NOT a great feat?

Honesty in revolting against lies
Awakens consciousness that pries
Away the screen that’s hoodwinked
Those who wished for ignorance that burdened

Them with the knowledge
Of their own moral corruption on a ledge
That destroys without question
By enforcing rules of misplaced adulation.

IlA Magazine published my poem, Sunrise

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





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.

Certificate of Appreciation for my poem: My Love

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.

Certificate of Distinction for my poem, Evil’s Moon

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

Evil’s Moon

On the night of the wolf moon
The wolves howl to one another,
Communicating their feelings in a leer,
A gross grin that hounds the soul, a goon,

Fierce, a horrific distortion of beauty
As the full moon, its crevices, darken
The night into a fearsome howl that’ll blacken
The depraved souls into coal, crusty

In consistency, flammable, evil,
Evil reigns with its oppressive
Weight, that governs stagnant, progressive
Deterioration into lunacy that coil

Around the heart, squeezes,
Till the suffocating of goodness prevails
Seeking to seize all faith, beliefs,
Throwing them to the wolves, scavenges

In the unholy darkness
To spread depravity, not faith.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem: Mom, Habibti

Thank you,  administrators, for the honor and your hard work.  This poem is very close to my heart since it’s about mother’s and our fears.

Mom, Habibti

Mother, moma, mum, mama,
Who are you?
Are you just the giver of life?

Mom, madre, mami, mam, ma,
What would you do to protect your babe?
Legal or nefarious means?

Mother, oumi, mama, Haha, mà,
How do you love equally all your babe?
Do you prefer one over another? Why?

Mam, nanay, habibti, ema, mamma,
How do you empower all your babe?
Do you compare them and demean some?

Mami, mother, mom, love, Ema,
Love me for me!
Never send me away or leave me!

Mum, mother, maman, madre, Ema,
Don’t break my heart to leave,
Don’t break my heart and hate me!
