Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Break Forgive

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Break, Forgive

Forging forgiveness in volcanic lava
Offers your soul permission to regret
No more your unfavorable decisions that let
Remorse drown your happiness and stray
Into despair. Yet when facing your mistakes,
Answering for your actions alleviates the breaks.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Ripples of Regret

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Ripples of Regret

The ripples of your actions transcend
Your present, as their butterfly effects are
Riddled with an elliptical cycle that’ll band your
Regret, elation into a box that’ll lend

A heavy weight that sinks into a grave
Where its ripples affect your day and flay
You, as you’re unaware of the magnitude of the pay
You pay while it sits under the ceaseless wave.

Award of Appreciation for my poem, Patient,  Timeful Warriors

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Patient, Timeful Warriors

Patient time sidles around knowing,
Knowing that you’ll eventually learn,
Learn that warriors full of brute force,
Force that turns into violent regret,
Regret that eats away your happiness,
Happiness that dissolves as its transient,
Transient time comes and goes, waiting,
Waiting patiently like the intelligent warrior,
Warrior who strategizes using patience,
Patience for the right information and time,
Time that’s right to act not go in unknowing,
Unknowing the dangers, pitfalls sown
By the hands of enemies whose joy,
Joy will be untamable at your fall,
Fall from grace, for you forgot that time
Time and patience have always been chief survivors.

Certificate of Participation for my poem,  Karma

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

Karma

All man-made laws have loopholes
That help people become fools

For not striding the narrow path
That emblazons morality in a breath

Radiating Karmic laws of wisdom:
Actions demand reactions, while calm

Patience are rewards in themselves,
As well as reducing regret that halves

Your wasted time on your perception
Of a past long gone, when the now’s convention

For living with all that’s happened before,
But focusing on your motivation to perform

Better today and tomorrow,  for noone knows
What the future holds except what we make of it that blows.

Blows away our expectations
Into the stratosphere of humble imaginations.

As we take the pose to meditate
Theses thoughts flutter on the overflowing plate

Of responsibilities, endless, sapping
Energies that need rejuvenating

As quiet solitude is a necessary boon
That settles the soul from its frantic cocoon.

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.

Certificate of Achievement for my poem, Remorseful Actions

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

Remorseful Actions

As the guilt presses down on my heart,
I look into the sky towards your hut,
Where your gardens prosper,
And delicacies abound, but never shatter

Your serenity that enrobes contrition
With a balm of faith leading to absolution
For actions that might have created
A snow ball of reactions that fenced

Calamities in your midst,  propelling
You into regretful actions causing
Others pain while striving not to fall
Apart while the pressure turns into a ball

Of explosive events
That need you to barter millions of cents
For your soul in penitence
For actions coming out of ignorance.

Double Silver Certificate: Wormhole

Great thanks to the administrators whose hard work is always appreciated.  I’m honored they’ve chosen to present me with this accolade.

Wormhole

As the Wormhole siphones time,
It’s recycled and sent down for a prime
New look at what’s been done, as lime

Is sour and requires revisiting
Actions whose regret is culminating
In despair’s depression, hindering

All positive momentum. Stagnation
Halts your progress into a quagmire of rejection
Of all esthetics of developing a projection

Of change that surmounts captivating
Your potential, reigning in its joy, sunning,
Airing your problems, giving them wings, soaring

Into the azure skyline with birds, whose
Dire need for flight mirrors our soul’s
Urgent desire to relieve its cumbersome blows

Into a sea permitting you to see
The pivotal cacophony that clamors, like the bee
Buzzing to flee from the constraints that pee

On freedom’s liberating rebellion, key
To change and stomping on the caged monkey,
Man, who plays the ape to integrate into the sea.

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.

Parched …

Gloom, bloom, doom.
It’s summer, and everything is in bloom,
But the gray skies strive
To hide the downpour that’ll revive.

Each drop of water is precious,
As it cleanses, moistens the gracious
Ground that mixes water, soil, and deteriorating
Vegetation fuse together and are nourishing ..

To the soil, parched for nutrients,
Only rain gives and inundates
The ground with vitamins
That helps vegetation be man’s lungs,

As the destructive man pollutes,
Decimates and ruins
Farm lands as he turns
Them into bare deserts,

We look upon what we’ve wrought,
Feeling helpless as fishes caught
In a net of our making. As we fought
To reverse our destructive blot.
