Twilight’s Darkened Light
The night’s fading darkness
Is illuminated by filaments that glimmers
With piercing reddish hues
Into a horizon of fading darkened blues.
With each touch of brilliant, glinting light
The scenery is transformed, bright
As a white pigeon in heightened flight,
Soaring, like Icarus, too near the sun’s slight
Heat that tenderly caresses its feathery
Wings across all living things, bravely
Broaching the new day optimistically,
Knowing that man’s destruction will invariably
Alter the breathtaking beauty of sunrise,
Twisting its vibrancy into shades
Of tenebrous grey, colorless, and lifeless,
As everything becomes hopeless.
Let each new day be your oath
To be stronger than the sun’s breadth,
As you emulate its depth
Of strength, that reigns above all in stealth.

Huddled
Sheltered against nature’s outpouring
Under leaves of green, huddled together, tweeting
Our love song for all to hear and see
That strength comes from unity,
Protection comes from the will to fight
For what’s yours without thinking of the consequences of plight.

Book’s Visionary
Creating a world with paper and pen,
I watch my vision evolve to stun in a den
Of books, windows to the unknown,
They litter the shelves, organized
In alphabetical order for all it’s simplified,
But those unique books, mine, and those grown
In power as time passed, and some
Tried to surpass their Ideology that come
With experience, social living, wearing a crown
Of knowledge, practicality, friendship
That coalesce Into strong leadership
As your intellect expanded with the blown
Exposé of things that seem foreign
As your experience is limited to the line
Of things taught to you not learned with a frown
As you explore its meaningful message
While you look at other references, not a cage,
To amplify your understanding its daily application
Not just learning but doing, changing.
That’s the purpose of books of all genres, rebelling.

Selfie
Setting up the selfie station:
Lights, cell stand, and her brand,
Typically, she holds clothing to unfold
Before it’s framed eternally on her blog.
She twists it this way and that,
Showing all its sides, but
None of hers,
Except, the image she shows.
Behind the smile and frivolity,
Lies a darkness, hidden from sight,
For fear of being judged carelessly
By followers that hold great might.
Anxiety is hers to cradle,
While happiness is to be shared,
And beauty is revered
As long as it’s easily bendable.
What is she trying to prove,
With her blog that’s on the move?
Is her ambition centered around
Follows and likes, without being bound?
I wonder what holds her prisoner,
In a world where artifice is power,
While, ethics and values take a shower,
And faith is flushed out with dirty water.

World in Your Palm
As technology evolves, our mode
Of communication increase, and the code
For communication changes in a dire
Attempt to keep up with the choir
Of voices raised as they speak
Simultaneously, seeking a close peck
On the cheek, can be seen not felt,
Still, it reduces the Nostalgia you get
Missing loved ones, home,
Foods and culture that come
To your aid as your workplace
Requires ethics that are not of this place.
As days go by, news becomes
Scarce, worry alienates you from homes,
But, worry not, your phone, window
To the world, can show you
Any location instantly with a touch,
Especially when internet is a bunch
Of wireless connections that fail
In the face of exploding bombs that quail
And break the access to people,
Your cell is your weapon to gobble
Any news of home, under siege,
Your hopes revolve around posts on a page
That gives news, any news,
News that spews lies in cues
With political backing that refuse
To admit their subterfuge, that’s of no use,
As we can see, through our cell,
Dead fetus being extracted from the rubble,
Decapitation, amputations, and remains
In bags of flour, plastic bags, even backpack that rains
Blood on the already sodden ground.

Acrostic
POETRY
Poet, poem, poetry policing a world in poppery
Overcoming chaos through order, design,
Entertaining critically, changing constantly,
Traversing cultures, emotions in a single jump,
Running freely as long as the ink is writing
Yet, you feel unheard, for the world is in woe.

Dream Fields of Lavender
We are wild and winded
Riding the rippling stallion’s back
Into a field of lavender colored
Flowers, delicate in their appearance but lack
Any real fragility, as they grow
And spread into a sea of lilac bow
That drives the people wild
As they crow their rhyme, beating
Out a rhythm that is sublime, but rend
A passionate response by the carting
Of bales of lilacs to make dyes
That represent the beauty that never dies.
As the field is emptied of its glorious
Harvest, people celebrate their reaping
Rewards with feasts, delicious
In aroma, taste and hail the bounty creeping
Into their bower, making them stronger,
Heartier, and better survivor.

Acrostic
WHISPER
Whistling whispers that
Have a holding effect on hearts
Imploding with impossible passions
Subliminal susurations sizzling in
Promises provoquing powerful feeling
Embedded in empires of whispered words
Replying to curiosity currently conversing quietly.
