malak kalmoni chehabI sit up,
Look up,
Firing my appreciation
To God, in whose contemplation,
Veneration, I’m engrossed
In my thanks to all that
I’ve got, that’s on the spot:
Family to love and cherish,
Kin to pray and think of me as I perish,
Friends who’ll miss my presence,
As our discussions cover matters that hence
Ruminate over social changes

Malak Kalmoni Chehab‘Who’s worthy of respect?’ Asks the
Oh so gentle soul. ‘Me, perhaps?’
Replying tentatively, I question whether
The ‘me’ others see is laudable with my
Honesty, diplomatically voiced,
Yet still encases my faith, ethics, and friendship.Offering an ear, a hug, a friend, a listener
Free of malice and judgment, that’s never a jeer.Resounding…read more

Malak Kalmoni ChehabThe lion lays quietly atop an overhanging hill.
He waits, watches in the vain fervor that his prey
Will come to him in deadly night like a diet pill
That will stop his hunger and permit his teeth to stay
Sharp, glistening white, creating a shiver of fear
Of their ferocity and ability to tear apart an arm,
Or important extremities that flash…read more -

Flies by with the passing minutes,

In their versatility, but not humanities.I’ve lived in this labyrinth of life,
Where negativity was the succor

Malak Kalmoni ChehabI watch as she pirouettes,
Her dress, a parachute, flies
In waves to her flutters.Her sensual beauty attracts
An audience, not for her moves,
But for the supplication in her eyes.They shine with an inner peace
That translates into a pace
Shinier than the purest diamond face.My gaze is glued to her flexible
Limbs that have divined that…read more-

This poem is very beautiful. And the imagery is very detailed. “her dress, a parachute, flies” is by far my favorite line because it’s so easy to imagine her dress and her movement. Thank you for sharing

Hi,
As an educator and mother, I noticed that connections with children is a must for understanding and to be able to provide help where needed. Those who hate have missed out on it and need our support to overcome their troubles. -

I’m so glad it resonates with you, as society seems to be degenerating and loss of forgiveness and hope are the victims. I hope there are more people like us out there who can band together.

Malak, having faith and belief are strong strengths to have especially today. When you have faith and belief you’re able to achieve goals that you didn’t think about achieving. You’re able to move on from any cuts that may hurt at first but turn into scars. Those marks are what you look back on and think. I made it through that battle. It’s tim…read more

Hi Malak!
This site has some amazing poets omg!
I want to hear your thoughts as well behind this poem, but I’ll share what I felt after reading it.
“Outmaneuver your enemies” was a very strong line because when we usually hear someone say something like that it is not in a positive light. For example, you may have heard someone say, “Get them be…read more-

Malak, this is such a powerful poem. A lot of people come can’t forgive certain things that is why there is so much killing today because it is unforgiveness. If we actually forgive someone truly we can be able to let go and not harden our hearts every time we see that person walk by.

I really loved the meaning of forgiveness it’s very deep and intimate to the reader they’re not alone. Grudges take a long time to heal so when I read this I felt I no longer had to focus on hate then love thank you very beautiful

I feel as though gh sometimes our goals can bring us down they can also bring us up at times. You said that you wanted to write more. I feel like that will help more with your goals just like how you are writing about your goals now. Your writing can always be an ongoing reminder of what you have on track of what you need to do.

Exactly. We women need to support one another in order to leave our mark within others, whether in our children, society, or even only in writing. It’s still a wonder to me how some of us continue to believe that what we do as women lacks importance and relevance.

Togetherness is what propels family forward in all aspects of life. I feel that we forget that in order to truly succeed we need inspiration and most of the time that inspiration is founded and embedded in our family. Thank you so much for sharing.
