Two Certificates of Excellence

Loose not End (exert)

To lose or not to lose,
That is the question that’s not a ruse.

Failing to achieve your goals
Can be a piercing knife to souls

That fall into depression if their
Goals are delayed or failed, their flair

Is indomitable in its will to overcome obstacles
That bend your will, but it’s never broken or stills.

Betrayal (exert)

Of my country and of my family
I have little to say, except that funny
Interactions are not always sunny …

A country’s politics and sense of justice
Can disappoint. Its favor is sandy grace
That’s gritty, scratchy, and hurts in place
Of unity that proves our solidarity in face

Of torment, terror, injustice, that train
Citizens in complacency that will rain
Upon them death, disillusionment that fain
A reality that exists in dreams that are slain.

Certificate of Excellence, Quick… Loss

Quick … Loss

Exert

Loss and death are as quick as breath.
Run and hide trying to evade its breadth.
I look upon its specter as I hold my breath.

Loss and death are as old as millenia.
Run and hide, as time is never vanilla,
But a manila cover in which to hide sista.

Loss and death are as varied as a bow.
Run and hide, and never stay in a row,
That keeps you stuck in a silent blow. …

Certificate of Excellence, My Love

My Love

If “Love opens the most impossible gates;” and
“Love is the gate to all the secrets of the universe.”
Then, love is all powerful, eternal, rebellious, never bland,
But compassionate, understanding In a universe

Filled with dissent, competition, a love of money,
And sin. I give thanks that my love, husband,
Is my rock, my motivator, and one key
To my writing that’s unwavering and always holds my hand.

My love is there for the difficult decisions,
Guidance and friend to our children,
Has sleepless nights when they’re in positions
Of upheaval that require strategic precision.

For me, he is star in a dark night,
The shoulder I cry into when life’s unbearable
Losses enrobe my heart in darkness, as he helps me fight
The devouring abyss making it acceptable.

Certificate of Notable submission, Lone

Lone

As I embrace the quiet night,
I let the calm moon flutter through my thought:
Plans, schedules, frivolity, wonder
That wanders in the quagmire
Of broken dreams that I will
My fortitude to take note and grill
The negativity, charred into dust
Of solitude that is a necessary gust.

SMILE

Smile= Logo

Personality = Business Card

Others Feel = Your  Trademark

This quote from women supporting women is a modern business model to be followed with honesty, if and only if you believe it to be true; and I do. When you smile in the face of adversity while surrounded by those with frowns and aggression, you show the epitome of someone in control, logical, and can make decisions at the hardest times. Your smile, to me, introduces your personality, which shows the world a facet of who you are: positive, optimistic, problem solver, and cognitive thinker. At the same time, your smile puts people at ease, makes them react more calmly, smile back, think positively instead of with anger, and always makes the other feel better.

So, SMILE, and don’t let anyone convince you that smiling is for the ignorant. No, it’s a tool, wielded correctly in this social quagmire we live in, and will always have a positive outcome.

‘Smile and life will smile back at you,’ is an Arabic saying that is cognizant of Karma. In my opinion, it summarizes the above quotation in simpler terms.

Exert from, ‘Belief’s Immortality ‘, my poetry book, Perfectly Flawed

https://www.amazon.ca/Perfectly-Flawed-poetry-Malak-Kalmoni/dp/1525582518

“… there’s toughness, impregnability, optimism,
That resonate and endure your ability to smile
When the world within and out are depraved,
Depressing, and contrive to oust your faith’s vigor.”

Greetings, Life

Hello life!

What have you seen?
How have you been?
Has time, in its transience, kept you keen?

Have you asked it its reason for being?
Have you asked destiny why it’s fleeing?
Have you asked faith why it’s redeeming?

Life, I wish you could respond,
My questions are many and correspond
To all that happens that only seems morbid.

News and social media, all expound on
All that is negative: violence, death, con,
Racism, segregation, depravity, and poison.

All that pessimism holds no importance
To our health and emotional stability, whose significance
Vis a vis a world that’s dominated by impudence.

Alter, change, deviate from all that’s the same,
Be ‘you’, unique, strong, and don’t play their game,
Play yours, turn it into a burning flame.

Repairing Life

Accrostic

Reap, repair, revere, reverse, roam, run
Embrace what’s broken,
Practice patience …
Air out your thoughts …
Implement actions to your goals…
Renew your drives
Implement changes
Never surrender to failures
Grow your flexibility and fix the impossible.

Somewhere
Once there
My repair begins
Embedding …
Tuning into
Having patience
In achieving
New dreams
Gone wild with life!

Dear Diary,

As the keeper of my secrets,

I need to confess my troubles.

I run around trying to please everyone And seem to end up alone!

As if by indulging others’ needs before mine,

I relegate my own happiness into a dark mine.

In it, the gloominess of the ambience

Is oppressive, comfortless, and has no patience.

As I squabble with my inner demons,

And my supererogation drowns my angels’ voices,

I notice that angels are a happy lot,

Who empower the self and never forgot

That there’s a price to pay for sacrificing For others, but it doesn’t need to be self-defeating.

No, no, no, and once more, no!

By helping others, you aren’t weak to

Assert your endowments to achieve

Your wishes without being demeaning,

Rather, you can help others believe

Not only in themselves, but in You.

Cowardly Courage

“Man has it all in his hands, and it all slips through his fingers from sheer cowardice.” Fyodor Dostoevsky

To be a coward,

One must:

Fear being changed,

Fear loving it,

Fear beauty,

Fear being hopeful,

Fear the inspirational,

Fear of being an individual,

Fear of being assertive,

Fear of being humane,

Fear of being disruptive,

Fear of being positive.

When all is locked in a chest,

How can you break its best

From solid bonds that need a rest?

Take pride in ‘you’, the ‘person’,

Have faith in yourself and press on,

Knowing that what’s right will live on!
