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 rotten 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.

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab How exuberant, Malak, a glorious ode to the joy of autumn! It’s wonderful how you encourage the reader to fly free, to be adventurous, rejuvenated. That’s a lovely irony since spring is typically invoked. Then you inspire us to become a brightening star like the sun and to be lighthearted, not to melt and burn, but to brighten the world in liberating fun. Your entire poem has the most wonderful feeling of a rising sun, the “flame of life.” By Linda Powers O’Dell
Fall Sunset
The flaming sun burnishes the sky With reds and oranges Spilling over tree tops Like a flame of life; let go and Fly!
Fly like the falling leaf strewn Into an adventure to adorn The grounds with its fragility Rejuvenation and transiency.
Fly into the rutilant shine, Shining brighter than the setting Or rising sun, know that you’re fine And unequivocally a star brightening
Those around you with greater Influence, power than any sun Whose heat melts those closer, While you, you brighten the sphere for fun.

Whistling whispers that Have a holding effect on hearts Imploding with impossible passions Subliminal susurations sizzling in Promises provoquing powerful feeling Embedded in empires of whispered words Replying to curiosity currently conversing quietly.

What’s creation if not joy? Joy bundled in a swath of cotton, Cotton, silky soft on delicate skin, Skin of a babe just born, Born out of joy, passion, love, Love creates infinite possibilities, Possibilities that’re positive habits, Habits that build on cheer’s ploy, Ploy that humbles man Whose ingenuity, Ingenuity builds the impossible, Impossible is always possible, Possible when joy and creation are linked, Linked at the hip for best results, Results that blindside you with their power, Power that’s breathtaking in nature.

As light is hope and all that’s bright, Learning to love in the sun illuminates Your perception on values, character, that fight To blot out negativity that’s darkened puss
That festers as an abyssimal blight To optimism whose courage roars in Flight to piece together poems whose bite Is only a loving caress, as their images pin
Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled From endured hardships but glows With the passionate compassion of being loved. As you shower me with languid eye’s light, the fight throws
Away the scourge of love’s broken heart By filling papers with poems that brook No argument to its plight in trying to strut The words in verses and lines that cook
Your presence into the essence of love Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes When amour is at its best fighting in brave Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.

Betrayal’s Ease
Shattered! Shattered mirror on the wall, Tell me the tale of this broken heart, Heart that was given in good faith, fall From its bubble of joy unbound, ’till It start
Seeing a change in behavior From her once loving spouse. It started with little things, later Home arrivals, short temper, grouse
As though she hasn’t accomplished Her duties: caring for kids, perfecting The art of home management, all his favored Dishes made, all’s organized, unspoiled
Respect for his need to rest After a strenuous day of work, Not unlike hers, but does hers count? You might ask. The answer is, it’s all work!
Then, she finds a jeweler’s receipt, Waits several days to receive the gift, But nothing comes of it except pain that leapt Creating doubt, dishonor, hurt, she feels like a thrift
For her only treasures from him now Are the angels asleep as she worries What’s next. He comes home with undies In his pant pocket. She recognizes
The brand, of course, it’s not hers! She decides to shelve her negative Assumptions, deciding to give another’s Chance to either talk about it or walk away to live
Without her beauty, compassion, freshness, Empathy that come in her brand of flair, A flair that’s still attractive, needing caress That’ll alleviate what presses the air
Out of chocking lungs that can’t breathe From the devastating betrayal that doesn’t ease.

Rainbowed love starts In red hot passions To orange hearts expanding, To yellow glow brightening The green of acceptance, change, And growth whose prosperity Turns into liquid blues, Those of summer skies Filled with potential of rains That alter fallow lands Into plentiful harvests. The same as love’s abilities To change others from singles To a unit that expands With the colors of rainbows That are always varied, Exiting changes that carried Your worries under two mind Supporting one another in a find Filled well of love that carries Change like loving swaddles Embraced in four arms of loves. The journey begins with a meeting, Attraction, connection, all can be fleeting, But you sacrifice, compromise, communicating All your hopes, then, them entwining Like the purple wisteria, two souls Becoming one, growing a family that cools Their stresses, soothes their anger, As their flow is like the ocean water, At times tranquil, others terrifying squalls That end in making up sessions, falls, Never, for they’re committed To one another, wedded.
