Her hazel eyes look into the mirror, What she sees is a wonder. In the reflection, ‘La Vie en Rose’ Covered with a pinkish screen as she pose.
She lifts her hand, extends her index, Grazes across the glittery surface, that’s a fox, Wily and intent on showing her only Beauty, utopia, family, and community,
Trying haughtily to impose a vision Of fidelity, that’s as wrotten a passion As Eve’s apple; who thought it would Impower her with Knowledge, Immortality
When, in reality, it highlighted her Faults and sexuality through a picture Of nudity and immorality. Her curiosity, pride were her downfall from all heavenly.
The gorgeous woman’s gaze turned Inward, subconscious awareness aged With centuries of data, she becomes Cognizant of the struggles of generations
That tried not to give her her power. The power of a woman that’ll never Let pride, shame, sex be the means used For her destruction that stays unpardoned.
She’s swiftly swung into a new Path, where women are revered, as few Are, for their strengths, nurturer, Culture, and self-awareness that is a propeller
Into an age of her distinction, acceptance, Integration, and sociopolitical presence. A long journey whence she grew Out of a subjugation in a pew.

As the leaves fall singing a last Hoora to sunny days, warm breezes, Replaced with a plethora of colors that freezes On the ground in an array of colors that blast
The verdant greens into yellowish Greens, oranges, and burnished reds That crinkle, crackle beneath our feet as heads Turn to watch the scene divided by roads of hardship
Where the greens have faded While the other paints a palette of reds That burn beauty Within as it delves and heads Into the sunset with its divided colors shaded
By God’s paintbrush that never Disappoints those who appreciate The divinity in the balance, never late, Always just as it equalizes reality of the creator.

The rutilant light shimmered A vision of beauty caressing The flow of life that’s endangered By chaos, war, and debauchery swinging Their hammer of perception As the one and only Equation for life’s classification Of rank, race, religion all blindly Followed without question, Critiquing is just an objection To a reality that needs annihilation, A rebuilding of ethics, an abbreviation For strength of character that’s Created trends, not followers of What’s Unimportant: superficial beauties, Revamped through surgeries All looking like barbies None too human, as they’re Plastic, artificial, unreal fear Of loosing beauty’s power.

Birendu Kumar Sinha Country.. India Collab with Malak of Canada 🇨🇦 #RainbowOfHope
CURVE OF RAINBOW ARC 🌈
Behold the rainbow in the long dark night With seven colours glowing bright When darkness encircles all around Nothing is visible no humanity found Rainbow appears with light of hope For a drowning man it is a saving rope
My cottage of existence is in turmoil My patience and faith is a vicious trial In distress I need power of resistance Keep my cool never lose my patience I need resilience to bear loss and pain Sunshine comes after stormy rain
Hope shall show you your destined way Bring bright sunshine after a rainy day A tunnel appears with light at the end My moribund hope to rainbow ascend Dispel life’s gloom illumine deep dark What a miracle this curving lightened arc
Pierce through clouds and move along Behold rainbow of hope and feel strong
As the brilliantly colored rainbow shines Over the besieged, abyssimal land in fines Of colors that lighten the wary spirit As it moves from chaos’ reign into a spit Of lava that builds heat without thunder A slow wave that crackles a body asunder
As the surges ripple around in brine And fire, depravity reigns its evil pine Over mankind’s mind, littering It with success, money, fame, sporting Them as badges of honor, empty Of faith, values that combat immorality.
As the rainbow shines its might, It reaches within the shadows and fight The oppressive power of trends that cement Disorder, debaucher, chaos, that fragment The tender soul into Humpty’s Dumpty Pieces impossible to put back as they’re empty
Of value reflected in the colored rainbow That shines its brilliance, it’s never cowed.

We’re being bombarded, daily, By subliminal messages, hourly, Whispers of drugs, violence, alcoholics’ enduced hazes, minutely, Incorporated in ALL media, compulsively.
Resistance is Futile …
Words, sounds, images coalesce Into an indoctrinated presence That’s insidious in its convergence Into your mind, creating a blinding trace
For behaviors that are incongruent With ‘our’ Ideals of humanity, that are esculent By mediocrity of addiction becoming permanent, As our dependence skyrockets into exponent …
‘Resitance is Futile’ …
As our struggles persist, our Vision, imagination, purveyor Of our strength of cohesion, flutter Into a bud that flourishes in power.
As ‘Resistance is Futile’,
Our obstacles remain tangible, Yet, clearly, unattainable. The need to strive to be corrigible Is embedded in our DNA, for hope is always tenable.
Thus: ‘Resitance is (Not) Futile.’

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Vikas Arora My warmest greetings!
Yes! The collaborative poem connects with the theme of light and shadow. Analysis of the Poem The poem directly addresses the theme of light and shadow both literally and figuratively. It uses the contrast to explore concepts like creation, balance, emotion, and human nature. Here is a breakdown of how the poem connects to the theme: Creation and Balance: The first stanza uses the “shadows” as the origin of creation, with beauty being born “into light.” This sets up the idea that light and dark aren’t just opposites, but are intertwined and necessary for a balanced whole. Metaphor for Emotions: The poem extends the metaphor to human experience, comparing “pathos” (suffering, emotion) and “richness of soul” to opposing sides of a coin. This parallels the relationship between light and shadow, suggesting that both are essential parts of our inner world. Literal and Figurative Light Sources: The poem mentions the sun and moon as literal sources of light and shadow, but also gives them metaphorical roles. The sun’s “ablutions” and the moon’s “passions” are presented as forces that “coincide in stabilizing” the world. This reinforces the idea of balance between contrasting elements. The Unavoidable Shadow: The second poem brings in the personal, unavoidable nature of a shadow. The line, “Wherever you may go your shadow stays with you,” emphasizes that our “shadow” or darker side is an intrinsic part of us, a constant companion. This suggests that we cannot escape the duality of light and dark within ourselves. The poem consistently uses the duality of light and shadow to represent other opposing concepts like chaos and order, emotion and soul, and the divine and the mundane. The recurring idea is that these forces are not meant to be separated but exist in a state of interdependence, contributing to a harmonious or “mellow” whole.
👌Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful collaborative poem. 👏Congratulations! 👏👏🌷🌷🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎊
Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Collaborative poem Malak Kalmoni Chehab & Drvikas Arora Canada India Theme: Light and shadow
Within the shadows, creation came from chaos A reign out of which beauty was born Into light, where balance isn’t a horn That divides but embraces the two sides, pathos
And richness of soul, are opposing Sides of the same coin of emotions, Equipoised similarly to sun’s ablutions And the moon’s passions coincide in stabilizing

Rainbows around the world have hope Tethered to their appearance after storms That hit unexpectedly, yet their shine comes With brilliance as they obliterate upheavals, you cope
With daily routines that dull your cheer, Yet, when a double rainbow appears, Double the gifts simultaneously, become freer As worries dissipate like vapor without fears
They might return for beauty casts A shadow of splendor coated in a Golden Sheen, a treasure of unparalleled pasts That throw away their appreciation of being beholden
To beauty that revives our belief that Life should be appreciated every moment For it’s gone the next, or anxious despair that Coat your soul with a monstrous blight:
An evil trying to seep your wonder Into depravity, an evil whose darkness Places an endless abyss, never Grace, within that devours turning you helpless.
