Her eyes are shining spheres, sculpted from the marrow of forgotten stars,
Each gaze a window into a universe that pulses in silence,
Charged with the intensity of solar flares dancing on the edge of the horizon,
Yet their warmth is a well-kept mystery, a burn that leaves no trace on the sky of the world,
But just a delicate touch on my soul, an unspoken secret of a silent love.
In the depths of those eyes, untold stories from extinguished times hide,
They flutter like an inner fire that warms my dreams on cold nights,
A secret call that whispers desires that cannot be spoken in words,
And yet, in that silence, I find the echo of an understanding that transcends the light,
A profound connection, like an unseen thread binding two souls beyond time.
On the dark sky of my heart, her eyes shine like beacons of hope,
They guide my steps through the dense fog of doubt, revealing a luminous path,
And in that light, I lose myself and find myself, a traveler of an eternal dream,
For in her eyes, the universe finds its form, and I find my peace,
A dance of lights and shadows, of desires and fulfillments, in a never-ending story.

Our river runs low, unlike in Barbados, where rain graces the small island, turning it into a tropical paradise. Green pastures thrive,
an a breadfruit can sustain a poor man throughout the year, while others feast lavishly. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in America, and perhaps in other parts of the world too. What are we thankful for this year?
Reflecting on 2024, what stands out as your most memorable moment? What brought tears to your eyes, and how many times did you cry out for help? This year has been tough for me, filled with force and emotional baggage,
accompanied by piles of bills. I held on, knowing that temporary meant limited, not permanent.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
Those who are also thankful for the setbacks experience a life of rich fulfillments.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.
Today is Black Friday, and it feels black, an adjective that brings emotional instability. Will I be able to catch a good deal on this day?

Sonnet-Ku-Ku Poetry Contest
Charles Messina
Life, as I know it goes through four seasons.
Fall, when autumn leaves fall, when problems come,
Struggles, obstacles and finding reasons,
Strength, courage to survive, to overcome.
Winter, the time for thorough reflection,
Savoring what had been done and thinking
Things to be done with high circumspection.
Spring, when opportunities are springing.
Learning, mentally growing, transforming.
Summer, season to celebrate, enjoy
Achievements, fulfillments and rewarding
The pinnacle of success with glee, joy.
Life goes on, AS TIME KEEPS ON A CHANGING,
KEEP EVOLVING FOR LIFE IS ENGAGING.

____________________________________________
Am I condoning a state of affluence?
In recent desultory decadence
Have I drawn a swan dive of choice?
Don't you hear your mom clamoring?
Don't you grasp her voice?
Backward between and beyond riverstone?
Holler—herald hidden phylum, hunt voice
of failed fulfillments
The hind hock hoof is hermitic.
With any accismus to anthropomorphize beasts
Winter wolf moon wakes up her litter
for sustenance, the man in me would slaughter
the wolf.
Tracks—that permeate darkness
their compulsory murder. Everyone needs
a meal
drifted and whistled from hair to heel,
things outside seem odd, ghostly, surreal.
Amid snow—hooves slowed to soak in
across the waves—why my soul seeped
a sailor has been seen dozing off
whilst the riverside weeps
trust—my footprints feature
fear—cynicism.

The most significant moment of my student’s life
Is the culmination of many years' efforts and sacrifice
A time to march forward, going up the stage in solemn rites
To receive a graduation diploma, my most precious gift, prize.
It's both of great fulfillments and achievements, I believe
Once in a lifetime with my toga, feels crowning with laurel leaves
Set of steps’ completion at another stair of education floor
I’ve surmounted huge phases of school’s life-challenges and endeavors.
Graduation Day flails the reigning banner of my successful race
With flying colors, raised the glorious torch of triumph, I embrace
Another milestone, a pedestal-crest for a victorious start
Accelerate me higher into my final dream, reaching the brightest star.

Years of triumph bliss
blest months midst functional weeks
optimized days wrought…
Grand events highlight faith-accomplishments
never deny sweet and painful moments
blended with loving zest
mixed well through gracious test
bringing out victorious fulfillments.
God be praised* and thanked for glorious life-building anniversaries.
*Psalm 145:3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

The psychiatrist
A licenced lier
Tells some constructive lies
Beautiful and charming
But with no obligation ever
To see to their fulfillments
Man
A great listener
Obeys to lies
Beautiful and sweet
But too absorbed and satisfied
Have soon lost the intention
To bother their logicalities

The world makes me cry
I have always wanted
a peaceful world
A world with love
And harmony
A planet were humans
Are meant to live like in heaven
Yes our heaven is on earth
Don't be fooled to die before
You see heaven
Cos you are not far from yours
The distance between you and your
Fulfillments of life is fear
The world is controlled by fear
To keep us obedient
They must make us fear
What we still can't understand
Instead to stop evil
Instead to touch the needy
With love
Instead to grow in wisdom of God
The world burns in destruction
And it so sad that the destruction
Of the innocent
Is the exaltation of the so called rich
Whose intension are never aline
In savings humanity
But the destruction of mankind
Is the author of their agenda
So tell me whose agenda
Can this destruction comes from
If not the devil
And the failure of the people
To live beyond the works of evil
Bring tears to my eyes
Cos I fear the end of humanity
Only God knows
What it will finally look like

SEASONS OF LIFE
Obstacles, problems, survival
are concerns you would face
during the life’s season of fall.
In the winter season of life,
reflect what you have done
and plan for the rest of your life.
Opportunities are coming
in the life’s spring season,
learning and mentally growing.
The summer season’s arrival
rewards life’s fulfillments.
Parties or celebrations call.

Flavors of harvest’s blessings
All around the misty morning
Leaving hints of heavenly hues
Laughing through the corn rows
Dreams of fulfillments discovered
Enlivening the richest brown earth
Everlasting grace’s brilliant rays
Protecting hearts from any worries
Inspirations soothe with a whisper
Nearing the spirit’s breathless sigh
Touching on faith that surrounds us
On a gentle tide of plentiful gratitude
Alive and impassioned with the joy
Uniting vivid colors with fading forests
Treasures of illustrations discovered
Underneath words that caress the soul
Murmuring prayers sent from hearts
Never before so full of adoring love

The opposite of heat is cold
but what lies in-between?
The opposite of friction is fusion
and Earth's living systems evolve in-between.
The opposite of Capitalist Empire Building,
with military industrialized full-investment strength,
is Earth Cooperative Paradise,
flowing fusion of fertile fulfillments,
in-between ego competition monopoly games
and eco-centered global cooperative ownership,
where competitions of EitherOr economic deduction
revisit cooperations of BothAnd political seductions
to ecopolitically define love
as at best and most optimally present
within active cooperative ownership,
interdependent multicultural governance,
polypathic LeftYang-RightYin fusing climate within
as Left-Western Capitalism-Right Eastern Creolization
fusing economic and politically cooperative networks,
matriarchal/patriarchal balancing creation stories
without.
The opposite of competition's too-hot
is ice-fused cold paralysis,
but what and when and where and who and how to
flow nutritionally in-between?

Few days as if a year,
Every moment without its fulfillments.
Every second without you by my side.
Your tender touch,
The silk of your skin,
The kiss of your lips,
The aura of your presence,
Your breathtaking smiles with fulfilments of love.
Every tick of the clock without a return,
Each tock of the clock without a lookback.
I feel a virtue has left me.
Right here in my heart,
You breathe quietly.
I'm missing you.
My heart waits for the one it loves,
It's dying to feel the thoughts its undying love gives it.
Honey,come quick,
I can't wait to see the wonders of your nature.

(For Her Birthday last January 8, 2014)
N-ice and loving poet friend’s birthday is finally here,
E-ntering another year of her life, I loudly cheer!
T-his simple poem of mine may bring sweetest thoughts and prayer,
T-hat her life may be blessed abundantly today and forever.
E-very single day, may all things in her life make her a lot perkier.
O-n this day, 8th of Jan. 2014 is her very special day,
N-o matter how busy we are, may we give her big hugs and kisses today;
C-akes, roses, balloons and birthday serenades are now on their way,
L-oving thoughts of this poem may also make her happy.
A-sking God to give her the best of health,
U-nderlying are fulfillments of her dreams and wealth,
D-ropping now to our dear celebrity these gifts wrapped in golden sheets.

It could also be a return to something simple,
a world of closed loops
where kinks and corners weren't invented,
where animals mixed and organelles
slipped through each other,
eating inside each other
within impossible rooms of gelatin.
Out here, we hold the line
cold and fast. We lock and crimp sharp.
The circle is only an ideal we can't match.
The thought comes up
from the tube of body and brain.
And I want to make vows.
Promises give bones to my ameboid nature,
freeze me into a shape. Keep time from
spreading me.
I can imagine leaning back
into someone I can trust,
someone loyal. I would vow first,
pledge allegiance, then
assume it would forever be
the same and equal, a stasis.
Days would pass and pass,
morning first judgements,
afternoon fulfillments,
evening muddled driftings
and slow, graceful nights.
