There is no dragon's fiery breath,
no black knight's sword that deals death,
no creature of the land or sea
that could keep me from possessing thee.
There is no thing that I could find,
not strong ale nor sweet wine,
even Merlin's herbs and such
pale beside My Lady's touch.
There is no rose that could smell as sweet,
no maiden fair that I might meet;
no blazing star in the sky above
could ever outshine my Lady Love.
There is no challenge I would not take,
no quest too bold for me to make,
no ties from which I would not part
to win my fairest Lady's heart.
On my honor this I swear,
all my life with you I'll share,
I pledge my sword, my heart, my name,
pray tell me My Lady you'll do the same.
No one may ever truly see
The storms you hide so silently.
But you don’t need their eyes to gleam—
You’ll build your crown from every dream.
A princess now, a queen you’ll rise,
With fire behind your gentle eyes.
One day you’ll shine, a blazing star,
Your light will heal the hearts afar.
I Am a Blazing Star, Scintillating with the Winds Of Time
The Flow it Glows in Grace from the Eternal Fire,
Ever I Rise, Up High, Sublime
Out Of The Darkness, Into the Light
I Am The Sun So Bright
I Am as Polaris, Guiding and Lighting the Ethers Of Night
Ever So-High, Ever Of Life
Ever So Luminous like Jasmine and Sapphire,
Burning Bright as I Drift so Swift
Riding The Zephyr From The West, Unto The Fields Of Bliss
I Am a Blazing Star, Scintillating with the Winds Of Time
the Flow it Glows in Grace from the Eternal Fire,
Ever I Rise, Up High, Sublime
Out Of The Darkness, Into The Light
I Am the Sun so Bright
I Am as Polaris, Guiding and Lighting the Ethers of Night,
Ever-So High, Ever Of Life
Ever-So Luminous like Jasmine and Sapphire,
Burning Bright as I Drift So Swift
Riding the Zephyr from The West, Unto Fields Of Bliss
If love is our fate, let each moment be our journey,
let love be our guiding star to follow
From the moment we first met
our souls became a guardian of time
our eyes became the warmth that melted away the world
with wishes and dreams
Like a brightly blazing star that leaves an imprint
on the eyes of our enchantment
our hands first held the morning's twilight of romance
and we walked on the path of natural beauty
that laid before us
that led to a silent sanctuary of sensual sentiment
from our first kiss
where we warmed ourselves in each other's arms
filled with laughter and smiles
and ran beneath the star-lit sky
inviting innocence to peel back the layers
filled with sacred moments of gentle understanding
so we could share our love as one...forever
Fire
Blazing like an eclipse, drenched in red-hot blood.
Blazing sword, arching upwards in the daylight.
Bird wings like fire and gold
Feathers fall like blazing hot snow.
Little flickering light in the darkness
Smoke hurdles up
Blocking out the moon.
The blazing star that is life
So hot
Never dying.
Because when a star dies, it leaves a lasting impact on its universe.
Stardust falls.
Fire.
Blaze in the void.
Forever.
Her sweet smile is like the rising sun
that brightens my heart when it is faint,
like a brightly blazing star
that sparks shimmer to stir my blood.
Her sparkling sights are so divine;
They heave hope for my dying spirit
like a fully flourished moon
that lights my path till break of dawn.
Her pouty lips gloriously glisten;
Their scarlet shine bolsters my courage;
They rouse resurgence to my dying ember
like a silent spell that rouses my faith.
Her spotless soul is like perfection,
like an exam that got no wrong.
Her cheerful charm is like diamond;
It beams beauty to my livid horizon.
For the most precious thing of all
is the treasure hidden inside her chest.
She gives me hope when I'm so hopeless.
She pampers me when no one cares.
Truly, she is my best blessing.
Being with her makes me feel serene.
To be around her this yuletide season
is my greatest gift of all.
I don't need to look at the mirror;
Seeing her makes me see my own face.
She's the image of my better self;
My own flesh and bone.

Best Blessing Poetry Contest

This heart of mine is like a flame
Like solemn candle, it is tame
It glows so bright against the dark
In darkest pit, it makes a spark
This heart of mine is like the sea
In the shallow, it's wild and free
But in the midst, its mystiques seep
Like silent water, it runs deep
This heart of mine is like fountain
That glows as high as the mountain
It's like rays of a blazing star
That spark hope, whether near or far

This or That, Vol 14 Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh
On a page, I'm designing a little nursery.
It will typically be a splendid moon.
Dreams I'm putting to witness bursary.
The space portrays a pearl, strewn.
The trail winds its way to this point.
Each day I assess my plant's progress.
Such as the gleaming white anoint.
Radiant as the full moon's keenness.
You bring forth my sheerest strength.
I overfeed them till they reach maturity.
Like I come upon a pearl in the depth.
Joyous colors reveal a touch of clarity.
But have acquired a wind and flown.
Believe your spirit will be revived.
I'm still sowing poetry, yet age has grown.
To sustain a nice cuddle for you're altered.
A far source of fuel with words I lack.
With love and faith, you're on a deft track.

Mother Moon, queen of the night;
guardian of her children;
you light the way so that they might envision
with clarity, not provided by daylight.
The formative years are spent
in your kinder care;
a seven-year nursery of enlightenment;
charted in ephemeris,
you guide the family in nurturing
your young ones.
With a blazing star for every child,
you refresh with wisdom,
the minds and hearts that
build a child’s future;
carving out lifetimes,
engineering careers,
guiding every step of life’s path;
Along with earth, air, fire and water
Mother Moon forges lives.
A comet was once known as a blazing star.
Now she’s a wild flower in meadows afar.
Sometimes called a button snake root, a floral czar.
A brilliant center of admiration, bit of a quasar.
Here, time meets space
In drama sweet
As bitter pace
Transacts and greets.
Here, joy and woe
Engage fond play
In precious flow
Come night or day.
Here, stop and see
The path of cheer:
Truth and beauty
As faith now steers.
Here, by the way
Seek out your heart
In work and play --
Love's sacred start.
Here, dare to be
Just who you are --
A soul set free,
A blazing star.
Here, time is brief,
Dare to live bold
In joy or grief
As tale is told.
Here, be aware
As moments flow
In endless care --
Now factors low.
Here,I can see
Heart lives lightly,
Truth funds beauty,
Frames ecstasy!
Here, let joy spring
Radiant and pure,
Go beyond things,
Be still, be sure.
Here, at the edge
Love makes a pact,
Transcend raw ledge
To style bold tact!

Beyond the night I see a light that shines from a distant shore.
A light so bright across this black night that I cannot ignore.
A blazing star so far away that sends a sweet dream to me.
Beyond this night I feel the fire that burns incessantly.
Across tempest waters rife with fear she calls to me - come yonder.
With trembling lips I try to speak - my spirit stills, to ponder.
My eyes now closed to darkness, as my voice screams back her name.
My spirit weeps for what I must leave, my heart for all its gain.
