CHIAROSCURO Chained light, Heavenly bright Incessant shadow, don’t Avert the radiance of justce Reflecting right’s light Offering hope when despair is Somewhat easier to drown in, while Courage to fight the battles of equality Under the umbrella of darkened power Revealed in rays that shine a ritulant glow Over the dispossessed of humanity’s light.

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.

Press Vest
The press vest filled with holes, spilled stained Blood, dusted debries, falling on The corpses’ heads, grounded, buried Under rubble, bubble like maps
That chronicle the rampages Of discordant attacks privy To location of all that try Not to cry for the human loss That’s too gross, property is floss In ruination, standing barely.

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

Starlight
The darkened night sky is populated By bright living stars that brightened All our nightmares, giving us the radiance That bundles us in a cocoon of confidence.
Such shimmering wonder shines into your soul, Adding hope, optimism, an irrefutable scowl That repudiates all pessimism, darkness, And the need to succumb to its insidious whispers.
The murmur of such powers is devastating If not fenced and bound. Placing It in a securely locked chest, that is impossible, To open when your will inters it with all that’s enjoyable.
Revere the wondrous effect of shooting star That lightens your burdens and shines a spotlight Upon all that’s good, wondrous, loving, bright, And endlessly supporting your strengths from within.

Silver light shines so bright, Reflects on your surface in a fight To blot out the blight Of oppressive night.
As it shimmers on the lake At night, it dances with shadows, fake In their adulation of your stake In everything that’s ensconced in black.
Its silver sheen is reminiscent Of the clouds’ silver lining that bent The impossible to their heaven sent Hope, that relies on faith not being absent.

Evil’s Moon
On the night of the wolf moon The wolves howl to one another, Communicating their feelings in a leer, A gross grin that hounds the soul, a goon,
Fierce, a horrific distortion of beauty As the full moon, its crevices, darken The night into a fearsome howl that’ll blacken The depraved souls into coal, crusty
In consistency, flammable, evil, Evil reigns with its oppressive Weight, that governs stagnant, progressive Deterioration into lunacy that coil
Around the heart, squeezes, Till the suffocating of goodness prevails Seeking to seize all faith, beliefs, Throwing them to the wolves, scavenges
In the unholy darkness To spread depravity, not faith.

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.
