Poetry for Change
Staring at the blank page, I wonder which words will Walk in the journal of the age Of fake people, news, expectations that kill The soul of creativity replaced, Replaced by AI, that seems to insist It will take over ingenuity, graced By humanity’s wondrous spirit whose gist Is made of light, dark, and grey.

POET OR AI, by Malak Kalmoni

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.

Home of Books
Sitting where books have found a home,
Home where each level is a mirror,
Mirror to an ancient exotic world,
World whose magical depiction,
Depiction of tyrants, kings, nobles,
Nobles who’ve persecuted races,
Races turned into slaves,
Slaves whose musical lyrics,
Lyrics filled with the need for freedom,
Freedom and rebellion against,
….
… , but,
But tries to stay steadfast to,
To traditions that hold discipline,
Discipline and ethics striving,
Striving to Revive that books,
Books are a haven,
Haven for the broken soul,
Soul that thirsts for knowledge.

Woman Defined
Courage thy name is Woman!
You’ve shown us your resilience
In the face of adversity that can
Drive strong men to their knees in case
Their worries overwhelm their ferocity,
Which is tempered by Her steadfastness
And confidence in Her ability
To nurture, when needed, cutting honesty
That’s never ending in its compassion.
Her armor, mask is that of love.
Her empathy lifts Her up.
Her education is Her weapon, a dove,
White, for its peaceful cup.
She’s endured degradation, oppression,
Slavery and desperation beyond
Caution, She moves into dominion
With Her tolerance that’s Her bond.
Bond of her heart that instigates
The need for freedoms.

Valentine 💝
He calls me angel for thee,
I gave him another three,
Two girls balanced by a boy, that be
Hearts that are intertwined with me
And need greater space than the tiny heart in me.
My valentine keeps me lively,
On my toes, thinking compassionately
Of his needs, comfort completely
Incorporated into my routine, daily
Trying to accommodate them freely.
As we dance rhythmically
All worries melt away, elegantly
As our arms are our cauldron that empty
Into hearts overflowing of peacefully
Ingrained and growing love decimating all worry.

May’s Matron
March into view
Trying to review
The occurrences of the year’s cue.
A mom’s rejuvenating love
Pushes you to believe
That tomorrow will relieve
Your anxiety and turn it positive.
Her influence is a font of information,
With wisdom conquering the defamation
Of news, knowledge, and experimentation
That are the backbone of socialization.
As spring springs in May,
Mothers recharge their Ray
Of sunshine that illuminates the Flay
Of your strengths, but with her you’ll Prevail.
A day in a year is not enough
To the importance of her presence that’s tough
To replace, since her nature’s nurturing will laugh
At the presence of any that are demeaning to her kiddo.

I can’t express my appreciation enough to all those who’re following my writing, but it’s a truth that can’t be hidden:
Your support:
Motivates me,
Connects me to your emotions,
Drives me to work harder,
Instills awe in me for your existence,
Gives me hope that the world still has compassion and love for one another.
Be strong in believing In yourself as you believe in me.

Dream, Dream
As children we dream
Dream of life of freedom
Freedom from discipline’s harsh
Harsh standards, imposed by adults,
Adults whose wisdom is widely,
Widely superior, and only wish,
Wish for the best for their children.
Children then dream of becoming,
Becoming adults, working at the dream,
Dream job, where little to no work,
Work is required, but pays,
Pays a high salary to buy,
Buy all the things they dreamt,
Dreamt of as children, whose parents,
Parents knew better than to spoil
Spoil them into becoming dependent,
Dependent on others to survive,
Survive with their integrity,
Integrity that becomes their bond,
Bond, contract, verbal or written,
Written only as a reminder,
Reminder of obligations that render,
Render their own discipline varied,
Varied from childhood, since,
Since it’s self-imposed, not demanded.
Demanded of your dreams to soar,
Soar as far as your imagination,
Imagination will allow, then go,
Go further, since rules are to be,
Be plundered into submission
Submission to your dream’s wonder.

Strangers In The Night
Strangers in the night,
Passing through a fright,
Gambling away all their might!
Strangers in the night,
Forever zipping away in a light
Moment, not planning out for a long blight.
Passing strangers in the night,
Help us unwind, as we spill our plight,
Knowing there are no consequences to our tongue’s flight.
Passing strangers travel together at night,
Sharing secrets, hoarding their feelings of fright,
As Atlas did for the Greeks to keep them in the fight.
Passing strangers in the night,
Shake, tremble, and vibrate suffering in darkened light,
So that it envelopes them from within and out in bright light.
Passing strangers dancing in the night
Celebrate life’s gifts of unveiled secret height
That confines your freedom to be bright at night.

May this holy month bring you all beauty, peace of mind, health, prosperity, and time for the supplication necessary for us to achieve Janna, heaven.
RAMADAN
Remember to be kind
Artful, artistic, an arrow of rightfulness
Memorizing more verses of the Quor’an
Divine intervention for our souls
Amply rewarded for our supplication
Never doubt ALLAH, GOD, will make things easier if your faith is strong.
