Black Moon

Rare and invisible,
the black moon hovers,
stalking, surreptitious,
shepherding secrets in its shadow, 
covert and clandestine,
seemingly insidious.
And yet...
it exemplifies
effervescence,
energy,
effectiveness,
fulfilling the unfulfilled,
turning points and tuning in to
potential,
possibilities,
prospects
and promise.

Carpe diem.

Duplicity

Duplicity
Is there a person present beyond the plastic shell?
The AI generation exemplifies artificiality
The same plastic makeup that is prevalent in humans.
Are we people, or are we robots with artificial intelligence?
Devoid of real feeling and emotion, fixated on self.
While our fellow men waste away, 
Their calls for support and help lay in vain.

We remain fixated on money, on gadgets on flimsy values
Hypnotised by material things, by disposable whatnots.
Gone are care, compassion, role modelling, and humanity.
Selfishness, greed and egoism have entered our lives
Truth be told, we are not moved or touched by anything!
The God-created human form and being
Sadly replaced by machine learning, by robotics by codes!

We are deaf, we are blind, we are retarded.
We live in a disposable world, a world destined to crumple.
We replace organs, goods, people and entertainment
By computer graphics, AI tools and 3D printing.
Are we using intelligence? Are we using our God-given brain?
Or do we mimic the robots, the AI Gods and the Handbook for Dummies?
One never knows, I guess, even this work may be from outer world.

Sibling Working Class

Jane the eldest of three sisters, and the Tadpole was given an earlier debut. Hails the middle sister of extraordinary charm and endearinng demeanor that exemplifies an industry--I find lacking.

This be the common thread of most aspirants, forewarned a cobsweb be drawn innocence. She played Kristy McNichols bike friend on 'Friends', edged by a mom's hope.

I am glad that I met Louise Foley, Jane's sister, on what turned out to be my final drive to Carmel, as my own life was getting to be a Full House.

Miss Barbara

No. She's not an angel;
Of this I am certain.
For she is very much a mortal
and seeks no other identity.

She's only human
She's just a woman
I love her. She loves me.
Of this I am certain

Moreover, from where I sit, neither
hypocrisy nor selfishness exists.
On the contrary, she models purity
of purpose and exemplifies Truth. 

Her love for others is deep.
She's strong and she is weak.
Her strength defies her weakness,
rendering it limited and ineffective.

Yes. She is a saint;
Of this I am certain;
For she is a par above
and highly connected to God.

Both her tears and her laughter
exude a captivating aroma with a
divine fragrance that compels me
to give attention and high regard.

And I? I am blessed to be her husband.
She's God's gift to me above all others.
I have been married to her for 50-plus years.
Valentine '24 will be our 54th Valentine together.

Christmas Tree

"Children full of giggles, dance in excitement around the Christmas tree, a camera captures the moment." Quote by poet

The emerging day, a crisp fresh white nature 
exemplifies early Christmas season.
Scent painted patterns of blue spruce, 
Scots pine and Nobel fir, so many shapes 
and sizes to pick from. 

Summer long gone; snow lies upon the ground.
Sun crowns the pinnacle emerald trees 
with each limb adorn with handfuls of snow. 
Along the way, a blue jay perched on a limb
shaking its tail feathers, a red robin alights and stares, 
making it easy to pick the perfect Christmas tree. 

Dressed in an armor of glimmering tensile, cranberry garland,
colorful lights, and a variety of glass ornaments on its branches,
and an angel, stands center stage atop of the tree.
Gifts wrapped in colorful Christmas wrapping, 
ribbons, and bows under the tree, a perfect cameo.

Unassailable Purity

Unassailable purity, a cognition divine of venerated mind,
Proffers promise inviolable, beneficence sacred aligned,
With force invincible emanating from goodwill of heart
Forming precepts impeccable, teachings benevolent impart.

Purity of thought and action~ a worthy and righteous goal,
Resounds indomitable from kindred voice of resolute soul;
A heavenly call of compassion, extolling sanctity of love,
Lifting tenor of gloomy dawns~ soothing refrains of dove.

Unassailable purity in life, a road map of directions to hope,
Sacrosanct are its valiant acts, vowing ceaselessly to cope,
Performing with mighty resolve, deeds inducing pride;
Serving humbly as invisible hand of irreproachable guide.

Assisting destitute is the sermon, tolling bells of prayer,
Beckoning the weary, indigent, to shelter and welfare;
Comforting grief of despair with words enlightened, aware,
Consoling cry of nothingness, bequeathing love and care.

It exemplifies within her selfless smile, purity of her eyes,
Reassuring her children, bliss of mother’s love never dies;
Its rectitude unassailable, eternal as the reign of time,
A gift precious, paramount to life~ ethereal and sublime.

The Power of One - Or Two

The human condition often seeks simplicity,
    For the complex mind to understand.
Looking through a window of forces to attract &
    Repulse, as universal opposition seems planned.

These reactions may appear as solitary, yet
    With outcomes that trend towards duality.
As paired views are born to manifest, some to 
    Follow the imaginary, others reality.

Recalling the phrase, ' It takes two to tango ',
    Exemplifies this kinship that's ever-present & true.
Since there's no such thing as the perfect crime ...
    There's always a remnant clue.

When we expand this relative philosophy,
    To our presence in the world today.
We can see hot & cold, up & down, rich & poor, 
    Right & wrong, etc.- so many boundaries that guide the play.

Just as were compelled to believe independently,
    We're also drawn by others to influence & share.
Begging the question, if this bond is compatible,
    Or is it about power and blending to be fair.

As our current condition exemplifies, where
    Multiple answers to any question seems real.
Bringing power to confusion and calamity, and 
    Changing another's mind, is the absolute ideal.

When Love Is Everything

When love is everything 
Senses are kindled
When love gives more than you

Degree there is no myth to the
Magic  every single thing is

Overwhelming. Nothing other
Than pure love we delight, the
Rose grows in loving memory 
Of the nourishing spring as it
Flaunts its summer luxury.
Fascinating love's beauty is
Magnified candid Persuasion 
God's gladdening creation

Reigning Christmas Spirit

Christmas spirit reigns---
lingers with “good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people"*
radiates compassion
from God, source of love
granting gift of eternal life
received through faith
assures blissful serenity 
sealed by blessed hope...
surpassing "Merry Christmas" greetings. 

Prevailing Christmas message
keeps on reverberating jubilantly
midst divine triumphant hymns
as nativity-scene vividly flashes:
manger birth of the Saviour Emmanuel**
along earth parents, Mary and Joseph
angels’ carols vibrantly exclaiming
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, good will toward men…”***
delighting everyone for promised redemption.

Christmas spirit behooves our hearts
toward thanksgiving praise to the Almighty
for heavenly enrichment 
offered through His Son, Jesus Christ
Who left His majestic throne above
reaching down to mankind
offering His very own life…
Such exemplifies wholehearted giving and sharing
we can practice even beyond Christmas season.

Olabiyi Modunmola

Back in time, it has been just like you
Till this very moment, somethings don't just change 
Within the wishes of your heart, only reside some
But the physiological response of thy posture tells nothing different 

Let us say today is all about your outdo
I won't count on your dress though, not strange 
But it simply depicts you as an original wife material at home 
And to others, an outstanding reverent 

Happy birthday in style 
Your simple look exemplifies Christ 
Dear sister in the lord, age off hell 
To the glory of His kingdom 

So, worry not of the Nile 
For He is always with you even when you are enticed 
To bless your body, mind and soul's spell
Reconnecting to the heavenly anthem 

Keep burning for love
Keep living for thy home above 
Keep surviving for troubles are more to shove...

Special Flight

Surmounting boundaries
my special child
freely soars
toward development targets
pressing on persistently 
maneuvering his wheelchair
against obstacles!
 
Triumphantly ascending
along hope gear with prayer-wings
my son exemplifies milestones’ possibility
midst God’s boundless grace*
defying asserted diagnosis:
“progression toward retrogression” 
vanquished miraculously by trust’s altitude!
 
Now overcoming downfalls
cheered by loving support
he keeps on persevering
succeeding with patience
while inspiring my stewardship service
for divine faith-flight…
wondrously liberating!

2Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

Holy, Silent Night

For those who believe
    That religion has its place.
There's a handful of primary
    Faiths, the masses can face.

Whether Christian, or Muslim,
    Or even Hindu . . .
We mustn't forget the Buddhist,
    And, of course, the Jew.

Sometimes, they're eloquently,
    Referred to as the 'Big Five'.
Yet many more exist around
    This spiritual hive.

They share some common ground,
    Of behavior and belief.
Trying to answer much unknown,
    And providing some relief.

Yet while fundamentally, they
    Diverge, creating some loss.
With turmoil and great conflict,
    That's difficult to cross.

What's lacking is some tolerance,
    Even respect to a degree.
Where understanding and acceptance,
    Allows all to be free.

Because my mind won't accept
    That God wants a divide.
Since unity is the ultimate message,
    And a truly, powerful guide.

Can we possibly look beyond,
    The differences that are seen?
To a time when humanity loves,
    Those all in between.

The lessons that are taught, provide
    Moral boundaries, both good and bad.
With a rich history that exemplifies,
    All the consequences to be had.

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Stress

stress is self made
stress is self inflicted
stress is a byproduct of ones confession
stress is a byproduct of ones confusion
stress amplifies ones inabilities 
stress exemplifies ones chaos
stress can only help those with no hope
stress can only hurt those with dreams fulfilled
