Best Ignites Poems
Yet A Spark In This Lost Soul Still Ignites
Cast into barren deserts of sorrow
no real joy and no hope for tomorrow
In burning darkness and hot blasting sand
endless sad tunes from destiny's band.
Nights are so cold and without future plans
sorrow's furnace blows its misery fans
Death, your deep, clawed grasp has taken this soul
I, walking shadow, now with no life goal.
Every new dawn, hot sun bakes and defeats
this tired old beating heart with thirst it treats
Hours pass as years, I find no real relief
from deepest caverns of this epic grief.
Yet a spark in this lost soul still ignites
faith in my mind, I shall win future fights.

Evoking the oak tree with a
Thank you for the stupendous day
So simple, yet, so profound
No need to do anything extraordinary
Because the universe resides simply
With white snowfall sanitizing my mind
Your imagination working like magic field birds
Warbling as you go
Let's create the countdown to amazing places together
Be my beloved even when your heart aches
Because we reside on the right side of the divine
Mindset where simplicity prevails and entails
What I couldn't do without you
Nobody's going to understand the breakthrough
On the bright side of the fluid mind
Where starlight ignites your kindness

Strong emotion,
Radiates my heart,
Passion fire for,
Irrational thoughts,
Mania me and,
Stability you,
Tranquility us,
Peaceful dreams,
No agitation,
Glows on Venus,
Universe is ours,
Unleash my chains,
And beg me for more,
Sailing so free with,
No more inferno,
Heavenly halo,
Honorable man,
Fidelity me,
And marked words by truth,
Loyal companion,
Wings of eagles high,
Soaring to heaven,
Promises kept and,
Heads bow down,
Grasping intense love,
Above the clouds,
Starlit nights while our...
Affection ignites.

What Fire Ignites the Day?
Whether to stay atop of things,
Or get to the bottom?
Each day offers circus rings,
The center one is Autumn:
Top fame but premature ending.
Side rings more discretely hum,
Contrasting the center ring crowd’s singing.
Side rings hold inner desires dumb,
Often hidden is pregnant Spring,
Steer to your inner line of rhumb,
Desire is the bottom kindling,
That builds the day’s fire-bon.
I nailed this contest with a poem that has punctuation
for ease of read rather than confusing line implications.
I composed a free verse feeling rush that soars with
heart sentiment grounds that I tweaked until profound.
Do check out my ew-la-la imagery, subtle flippancy,
smooth flow that ideally rolls to tighter grab as it goes.
My write ignites awe to wiggly with words brilliantly
alert, not unclear bit blurts, possibly boredom fraught.
He walks past within the crowd
He does not see his presences
A man of substances
Honour in his walk
A gentleness inside his voice
A smile that captures eyes
An enchantment in his being
The radiance that fires with his aura
Warms the coldest of night
His soul is spellbound
He inspires he ignites life
Passion that is unruled
Strength that has been tested
Love that is sent from the deepest of the heart
Kiss that was granted by the waves of time
After the doctor tells Ahmad
his test results, Ahmad says
he needs a new place to live.
His tent’s in ruins, Ahmad says.
His body will soon shake a final time
and turn to dust in the sun.
In the trees vultures preen as
Ahmad rides his camel into the hills.
He will die in a new place to live.

Love's Flame ignites
My heart was yearning
I saw you in the distance
our hearts were burning
Our love's fire can never die
Flames ignite, shine in our eyes

Your passion ignites your soul
The flames burning tirelessly
But your fire isn't immortal
Deprived and starved of the things you crave.
Her Fury Ignites
Eerie darkness illuminates from
Her flesh as her fury ignites fear
Into heart of mortals with fiery eyes
and burning soul that bursts into
Flames of dark desire and passion
To assure your doom with
The slightest touch of pleasure.
Christmas thrills
and December snow chills
keep children blanket clad in backseat.
Mom pours hot chocolate to give all a sweet treat
while they drive down each decorated city street.
Dad tunes in Santa news that excites.
With thrills from outside lights,
joy ignites.
Showers splash
Caressing the earth
In laughing drops
Submerging trees
In gentle breezes
Symphony of whispers
Silent like the moon
Who shines through
A heavy rainfall
Thundering crashes
Tumbling from heaven
With breathless abandon
Naked like the wind
Who sighs in the limbs
Surrounding forest
With waving branches
Who long to embrace
The hopes of a moment
Spent inside this place
Where feelings light
The way toward day
And awaken the heart
To God’s kindness
Generosity and love
Lighting the path
To dreams who survive
The rain and storm
The shadows so forlorn
Brightening a life
With hope that takes away
All fear and dread
Worries that beckon
From grief and sorrow
It is God’s light
Who survives the night
To reach out to the heart
With assurance that this light
Will fall across the life
Who chooses to seek God’s grace
And feel the joy of sweet praise
Filling up a soul so they can face
Every darkness, every dread
Even the pain that penetrates
The surface of kindness
With a prayer of faith
And a second chance to say
God is the only way
To face even the darkest day
God’s light is bright
And it shines on the inside
Where I know God is alive
Building a flaming fire
Of love that ignites a light
That dances through this life
On the wings of the spirit’s desire
This is the storm that is inspired
By emotion caught up in a light
That only God could incite
Fire Ignites
ignites the light, light for the world
world full of lies
lies from the forgiver
Truth from the sinner
Fire Ignites
Ignites the delight, delight for the lover
lover staying close by
Foe making all your flowers dry
Fire ignites
ignites the dislike, dislike for the unlike
Unlike from the mind of them
similar from thy gem
Fire Ignites
ignites the bright, bright for the Dark
dark from the impoliet
Litted from a good night
Fire Ignites
Ignites the replied
Ignites the night
And the skylight.
Let time
Be your grave
He shall
Catch you
Like a wave
Time ignites
This flame,
Once more
Time greets you,
At this door
