Ghouls of War

Moguls of war, ghouls that store,
Store away resources for a grey,
Grey day when needs are felt,
Felt in empty stomachs covered,
Covered by a rock to stave,
Stave the incessant hunger pains,
Pains that fog the functioning brain,
Brain needing nutrients,
Nutrients absent in war torn homes, …

Two Way Street

I lay in a fetal position,  my head
Cushioned by his heart, in a beat
And rhythm that puts me to sleep, a feat
That takes time, trust, comfort instead

Of weariness, worry that stress,
I lay my head on his chest, dreaming
Dreams of innocence that fled, tears streaming
For losses galore, knowing he’s my vest that’ll press …

Poetic Castle

Poetry is my castle where every
Room’s walls are painted in my poetry
The building itself is antiquated in poverty,
But each chamber is filled with rhymes eternally …

Accolade and Review for my poem, Love

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Thanks for introducing this intriguing new Hungarian poetic form, Malak. Clever use of assonance and consonance in the first three lines  that mirrors the lengthening lines, (hon, honey, hopeful,) and then throughout, (lone, loving, tough, lonely.) Excellent contrast of “loving” and “lonely” in a if-you-
have-to-make-a-choice scenario. By, Linda Powers O’Dell

Honey
Hopeful, lone
Loving is tough
Better than lonely

Accolade and Review for my poem,  Home?

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Excellent use of hypophora, Malak! You use profound questions to focus attention on the nature of home and the uncertainty of the future. Your amazing and touching personal narrative is so poignant and adds great beauty to this poem. Your deep experience justifies your admonition, “Embrace the joy you’re given,/For tomorrow may bring hell or heaven.”  Superb poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Home?

Where is home?
What is home?

These questions circle
Ceaselessly and kindle

The quest for answers for:
Where and what is home for?

I’ve immigrated to three
Continents searching for thee.

Why do you hide from me?
Why do you flee and oblige me

To search you out in lands gone mad?
How is that fair on a child who feels bad?

From the tropics, to the Mediterranean,
To North America, in search of what you mean.

The child in me
Misses the simplicity of love,

Laughter that is innate,
But shaken with wars and fate,

That take away all joy and faith
In a moment of stolen breath.

Embrace the joy you’re given,
For tomorrow may bring hell or heaven.

3rd Place, Certificate of Excellence for our collaboration poem, 

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Title – Orphans of War

Orphaned children of war,
Are hungry for peace that’ll crease
Away the trauma that resides, never sees
The light after wounds, amputations that are core

To surviving the war. As children
Whose childhood was decimated
By loss, parents, safety, laughter, loved,
Replaced by uncertainty, confusion, a burden

To those who survived with them, unable
To function in a world where war
Is the norm, peace is a broken contract far
From the ideals of humanity that are incomparable.

©️ Malak kalmoni chehab


Debashrita Basu

Wars are nothing but a destruction of humanity
Loss of kindness, sympathy and love
Domination of a power over the world
Killings of many innocent women and children

Many physical scars are there
But psychological scars will never be decreased
It will destroy the innocence of children
Who are the victims of wars

Orphans of wars
Become victims of permanent fear and anxiety
Their sufferings are equal to God’s sufferings
Their pain means a lot.

Accolade for my poem,  Secrets of the Bear

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Secrets of the Bear

A dirty stuffed white bear
Thrown, thrown with the blue
Garbage bags haphazardly bare
The signature of disowning the few

Possessions that have lived
Through childhood’s changes
As growing is synonymous to dispossessed
Of imagination’s flow in ages

Where a bear’s innocent eyes
Bare witness to catastrophic
Events, from divorce, to cries
Of violence, to bombs that are cathartic

In their release of pent up emotions
That only the innocent bear perceives
And gives succor where hidden sensations
Are incubated within this cuddly stuffies

Innocently hidden for years
Before the child feels strong enough
To survive without his secret prayers’
Confidant who seems to be rough

Around the edges, but still soft
To the touch as he imparts comfort
In the imprisoned loft
Where tears poores out in the fort

Of his making, where secrets
Are hidden,  trauma rises, pain
Transmute into rivers of bloody tests
Overcome with faith, ethics enliven

The soul with power
Suffusing limbs, heart
To be stronger
And live longer, healthier.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Foundation of Love

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Foundation of Love

What comes out of love?
From love, all creation is born, as you rove
On this earth in search for more, from cove

To plain, to desert, to mountain top
You run in search for its root, and hop
To its tune, rhythm, rhyme to feed the soul that sop

Of identity, compassion, humanity,
That intermingle, intertwine, two souls of purity
Bound together to infinity.

Not as possession, not a claim, rather
Emotions that run the gamut from fear,
Pain, disillusionment, cheer, joy, all clear

As they mend the broken parts of each
Font of pleasure that surmount the bunch
Of negativity that oppresses like a crunch

Yet, love, its golden halo of purity
Engulfs the two in a hug transcending timely
Obstacles, turning them into change powerfully

Entwining lives into a single soul
Whose only goal
Is addressing the plunder of love’s bowl.

Accolade for my double poem, Existential Void

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Bravo for taking on such a challenging form, Malak! This poem is wonderfully, deeply philosophical and psychological. You valorize those “Tumultuous wars within that try to/Eradicate despair’s darkest emptiness,” the struggles of hope that refuse to give in to villainy and the void. Powerful poem!! By Linda Powers O’Dell

Double Acrostic
Existential Void

E xtenuating circumstances       Vie to the
X ysti to try and rest                     Omitting
I ntentionality of an existental voId
S ublimating intensions of         Destructively
T umultuous wars within that try to
E radicate despair’s darkest emptiness,
N ever allowing it to overflow with
T he love, faith needed to defy    Villany
I nterminable in its need to destrOy
A stronomical strength that         Intensifies
L iving in the light of hope, never Denouncing the void.

Certificate of Excellence for my poem, Pose?

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Pose?

To pose or not to pose?
That’s the question on this day of non-repose.
She stands, elegant,  regal,
Smiling into his chocolaty eyes, fall,
Falling into his soothing pool of love.

The depth of emotions that hiss
And run deeper than any abyss,
This moment in time will never come
Back again, for its novelty’ll dim
But never die in the pyre of time,

It’ll grow and flow into their
Joint lives of adoration as their
Tears of joy and sadness blend
Into sysmic waves that thrashed
Many a couple, but Not them!


Time will try to siphon their
Joint time into darkness,  but their care
Will stomp on time’s vain
Attempt to suck out the rain
Turning it into a melodic refrain.

Double Gold Certificate for my poem, Boomy Guitarist

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Boomy Guitarist

Her golden tresses frame a face
Filled with love’s faerie rhythm, grace
Embued the wind, a caress in a place

Where turbulent emotions soar
Unchecked, tempestuous, a roar
For help is put in place to aspire

For love to unfold in their breast
Sharing the volcanic crest
Assuaging pain with beauty’s behest

That arises from the boomy guitar
Whose notes, crisp, complex, flex on par
With the tsunami that resides on the far

Reaches of the shore, where the guitarist,
Whose antiquated clothing embrace the list
Of greavances his melody embodies, a fist

That punches out enemies of respite
With harmonic overtones that spite
Despair with a punch projection of flight.
