Malak Kalmoni. Chehab “Silence is silently golden” is wonderful tmesis, Malak. This revision emphasizes how the benefits of silence are also silent. Congratulations on such a complex, profound poem. Ambition is a tricky thing. Without it how can we progress? But do we want to live hounded for a few moments of elevation? Should feelings of inferiority be our motivation for defying destiny? To fill the blackish emptiness, to escape masochistic scorching pursuits, requires more than polish. To sit alone is silence may be the ultimate solace. Powerful, impressive poem with awesome tempo and rhymes! By, Linda Powers O’Dell
Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Fate Follows Slowly
Silence is silently golden and craves
Quiet to fulfill its quiet role
Where falling for the coal
That burns your soul and paves
The way to hounding healing hell
That elevates your status momentarily,
There’s a scorching that’s heavenly
For your masochistic tendencies that fell
From the mouth of a demeaning,
Enraged inferiority demanding
Solace with like crazed minded souls fleeing
The impossible: Karma, fate, destiny crawling
At its slow pace right behind
Your extravagant polish
That hides an emptiness that’s blackish
And finds comrades that comfort in kind.
