Double Diamon Certificate: Faery Wonderland

Faery  Wonderland

In a faery wonderland, she’ll stand,
Hands held together in veneration for land
Whose fantastical beauty astounds,
Its colors: rainbowed pastels in grands

Accumulated in clicks of reds, blue,
Pinks, greens, whose hues flew
Across the bay, scattered haphazardly
In a motley crew of geometrically

Arranged order that’s breathtaking
In their form, as they stand as sentries breaking
….


A story of struggle that united
The varied creatures to be one,
As they strive to keep their beauty in a shrine.

Eid Mubarak

EID MUBARAK

Every Eid is like no other,

Instead of losing, think of gain, gain God’s

Deep graces that are limitless in their faces.

Mubarak, blessed we are for our breath,

Unseal our eyes and ears to hear teachings

Benefitting our earthly and heavenly lives,

Anger is an enemy,  blessed by the devil

Rearing its head to sway us away from

Amplifying our faith and practicing it

Knowing it’s our salvation to enter Jannah.

Got a certificate for poet of the month

What notable things happened today?

While receiving this certificate empowers me and motivates me to write more, it doesn’t define me. My writing was used as therapy for my recovery from surgery and expanded from there. I hope that it resonates with my audience and helps them feel less alone in a world that has the need to isolate people by creating labels for them to seperate them from one another.  Through this, they leave little room for compassion and humanity to connect, but divides.

Another thing that made me proud is the fact that I’m getting 1 poem published in an anthology,  and another piece of writing as well. Both are a part of The Unsealed online magazine.

Award of Appreciation: poem, Conformity

Conformity

Education is highly priced so that
Few can achieve its height.

The higher the knowledge you try
To receive the more indoctrinated, bound not to fly

While wisdom’s harmony demands your
Calm acceptance of self and all around who pour

Their spirituality into a fervor for variety
Of life’s changing setting, requiring piety,

Humanity, compassion, empathy, and embrace
The continually altered reality with its grace

In knowing that equilibrium is a must
As the world is based on its crust

That’s unshakable in its strength, as long
As respect is exchanged so we all belong.

Certificate of Astounding,  poem: Violence

Violence

When aggression reigns
People’s solidarity feigns
Peace to give rise to new
Violence that undermines a few.

Women and children being
Weaker are in danger of prying
Away their self-worth with words’
Derogatory punches that blows …

Blows that rain down like
A thundstorm of screams that aren’t fake,
But rather, breaks ensue
That take eons to heal in a pew.

Escape is sometimes the only
Way to endure this period of powerfully
Oppressive and subjugated conditions
That requires succor from the perfections

Of a society whose aim is self-preservation,
And where victims of violence live in perdition.

Rights: home

What does freedom mean to you?

To me, freedom equals having a home and family that endure under the obstacles of life. When I say home, I mean the people who occupy the house, family unit that could be related by blood or not. It’s one of those rights that give emotional and physical security in order to be ambitious in life and strive to improve your material or social status. Yes, that is a very colonial perspective,  but then I witnessed 2 civil wars as a child, lived in 3 continents,  all before I turned 12. Perhaps colonialism also taught me to appreciate my home because I had to rebuild it so many times in my 5 decades plus of life.

Home?

Where is home?
What is home?

These questions circle
Ceaselessly and kindle

The quest for answers for:
Where and what is home for?

I’ve immigrated to three
Continents searching for thee.

Why do you hide from me?
Why do you flee and oblige me

To search you out in lands gone mad?
How is that fair on a child who feels bad?

From the tropics to the Mediterranean,
To North America, in search of what you mean.

The child in me
Misses the simplicity of love,

Laughter that is innate,
But shaken with wars and fate,


That take away all joy and faith
In a moment of stolen breath.

Embrace the joy you’re given,
For tomorrow may bring hell or heaven.

Double Silver Certificate,  poem: Haunted Mansion

I’m always wondrously amazed that my work is being honored by fellow poets.

I’ll apologize to my readers or followers for the darkness of the themes that I’m writing about in the recent months, but they are my outlet for past and present visual trauma of war.

Certificate of appreciation: Indoctrination

Indoctrination

Education, eradication, indoctrination
Are all a part of teaching enlightenment.
It’s easy to instill new ethics in competition
With tradition that require less effort

And give free reign to desires rampant
In their need to rule in confrontation
With your subconscious screaming at
Behaviors clamoring for ethical commiseration

While schools, society, and social media are in congregation
In an overt need to instill the requirement
Of integration at the expense of consideration
For the soul’s cry for disciplined faith that meant

Ease of conscious, inner calm, that
Imposes acceptance, growth, and beautification
Of imagination within souls that never forget
To be humbled by divine creation.
