Award of Excellence for my poem,  Beyond Comfort

Thank you, administrators,  for the honor and your hard work.

Beyond Comfort

Where does life begin and end?
Not in birth and death, no, not at all.
It starts when you reach a bend
Of road least taken and soar in a ball

In the sky that helps you perceive
The limitations you’d set for
Yourself,  yet, when you set it to a sieve
You’re awakened to receive the bounty for

Leaving your norm and discover
The unknown world beyond
The sphere of comfort and ponder
Why it’s taken you so long to find

The courage to experience life
Beyond the borders of your
Comfort zone that lited you into strife
Of habitual drudgery that becomes a chore.

Diploma Certificate for my poem: Weddingdress

Thank you, administrators, for the honor and your hard work.

Weddingdress

In a crowd, he’s become her anchor
In a life where anchorage has no harbor,
A refuge after an exhausting day,
She needs her home’s solitude to pray

That loss will be a long way away,
That the ecstasy felt as her weddingdress would flay
In the breeze, sending shivers that play
On her skin, a symphony of beauty that’ll flay

Any difficulties into crumbs, unconsequential
In its ability to destroy the partial
Power of love and faith that are palatial
In overcoming Insurmountable obstacles essential

To the development of morale, ethics,
Which solidify the anchor and home’s
Unity whose dock is the hearts
Divesting their impurities to be combined as ones.

Certificate Diploma for my poem:

Thank you, administrators, for the accolade and your hard work.  It is highly appreciated.

Love’s Tune

Oh ye longing for life’s love
Hoping that holding hands
Heralds peace’s heavenly heaving hearts
Warming away the ice, waylaying the dove

Whose mighty hope in a world
That throws tantrums if the heart
Falls for its soul mate, whose burst
Of lava of emotions is a refrain that hold

A symphony of their making,
Dancing, singing to its tune,
At times frisky, bluesy, romantic, straining
To hear what’s unheard, love in a dune

That breezes alter and never
Croon in rhythm of trends that bloom
In antithesis to love’s truer
Form that never lets down the groom.

Two of my poems: Upheaval, Never Give Up,  are published in this wonderful anthology.

Upheaval

Coup d’état! Civil Unrest!
Rebellion against a colonizer, a pest,

Businesses men, family men
Gathering together are arrested, put in a pen,

No pillow, blanket, toilet, only a feast …

… , ethics strive
To cause trouble in the hive

That western society creates
For immigrants needing a place to forgets,

As trauma continues its hold, bold
In its fight to take root, but I won’t, under it, fold.
©️ Malak kalmoni chehab

Never Give Up

Give up, never!
The challenges of life give greater
Satisfaction when struggling to overcome them.

Give up, never!
Through war planes, attacker
On our land, as my partner is an army officer. …

…

And belief that you’re being tested makes me stronger.

Give up, never!
Give up, never!
Give up, never!

Certificate of Distinction for my poem: Staying Power

Staying Power

What’s poetry if not an agglomeration
Of words in rhyme and rhythm?
A world of poetic devices, accommodation
Of varied styles, structures that’s not grim?

What’s a love story
If not one that has a start,
Climax, and end that’s happy or gory?
Where pink tinted glasses reflect

The author and audience’s
Need to escape life’s duties, stresses
That place tremendous pressures
On couples needing one anothers happiness

Without needing to compromise
Or putting in the hard work required.
‘What’s love?’, in that case?
That’s the staying power of being loved,

Loved for yourself,
Loved for your strengths, weaknesses,
Loved for your imperfections put on a shelf,
As your greatest power shines in smiles

That never dim while facing despair.

Labyrinth

Life is full of predicaments,
Labyrinths are the only road available.
Line your car with gas that spars
Long with the deadly turns that are viable.

Longing for straightforward success,
Laying out your failures that press.
Limp around giving a guess
Looking forward to new life that’s not less.

Legends are complex and teach
Loyalty and friendship, but suppress
Liars that generate a great reach
Leaving them as villains that squeals.

Light up your life with loyals
Living through difficulties and prove
Logical in their enterprises
Letting the faithful mind make a move.

Life’s Wuzzle

Winter’s darkened clouds

Hover, lost in starless skies,

As leaden, pewter, ebony ravens

Coalesce in a wonder of worlds.

As the nights are long,

Your thoughts are flung

Into dusky abysses of dung.

As the sleepless nights dance

Into your nightmarish dreams and glance

At the blackish sea where they take a stance;

The sleepless nights fizzle

Making insomnia a rare puzzle

For those trying to live life without a muzzle,

Straining to contain life’s wuzzel.
