Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Beautiful mirroring poem, Malak, contrasting darkness and light like matter/antimatter images. Each stanza swells, expands and then contracts, like a realization of an important truth, an insight. The first is a powerful trip through the shadows of death, the dominion of the devil and the damned. The second stanza is a heavenly reprieve, a victory over destroying deviltry. Creatiing these two realms, your images are fantastic, original and elegantly presented. Excellent, dramatic poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell
Death’s Light
Dark,
Razor sharp,
Claws of nails torn,
Horns of hell adorn
The souls of evils that step
Into the obscure, winding well to help
Those damned souls to reach
The pinprick of light breach
The diabolic breath, laugh,
Full of a pestilent cuff,
Shadowy death,
Lingering,
Stealing
Life
Turned
To death.
Dark.
Light,
Souls so bright,
Cleave the way to flight.
Soar in a cyclone’s might,
Into a haven of promised delight.
Tell your tale in whispers fiery
In their warmth and stealthy
In their fight against deviltry,
Whose hold is sturdy
But crumbles
When faced
With
Light.
