Every milestone
Takes a lot of
Dedication and sacrifice
Every anniversary
Brings memories
Every toast
Ignites our passion
Building companion.
Every celebration
Fills the atmosphere
With jubilation
Giving liberation
Paving way for reunion
Looking back to
Where we all began.
Every ink tells a story
Broadening our awareness
Shout-out to a platform
That has united many
Sharpen lives
Healed hearts
Strengthen mindsets
Accolades to the founders
Happy third anniversary
Cheers to a new milestone.
date night
or fantasy
our hearts glow in candlelight -
as we dance, our desires ignite
anniversary dream!
An iridescent streak
bifurcates the obsidian
dome,
A incandescent voyager
accelerating through the
obscurity,
Relinquishing its grand,
celestial habitation,
To dissolve into a ephemeral,
luminous fragment.
Conflagrating magnificently
across the absolute infinity,
It manifests with fierce,
unadulterated dedication,
Exchanging its permanent,
prehistoric illumination,
To bestow an instantaneous
warmth upon our souls.
For what is preservation
within the remote cosmos,
Juxtaposed against this
singular encounter in your
presence?
I would joyfully witness the
ancient firmament
disintegrate,
To participate in this fleeting,
majestic trajectory.
Like that radiant anomaly, I
surrender my entirety,
Content to completely
dissipate, if our devotion
remains absolute.
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.
Your passion ignites your soul
The flames burning tirelessly
But your fire isn't immortal
Deprived and starved of the things you crave.
Love blossoms every single day deep within my heart
Setting the stage for a long and happy relationship to get its start
You are the light that guides me and brightens up my day
The passion that you show by your kind words and the actions you portray
Our day begins with a stroll on the beach walking hand and hand
The rejoicing of our toes from the warmth and the smooth white sand
The evening is to be filled with romance with lots of love, surely in store
A whisper in my ear ignites me to the core
Time to set the stage with a candlelight dinner I am about to prepare
Counting the many ways I can show her my love and how much I care
After such a culinary delight a trip to the couch with a warm blanket awaits
A bottle of wine, a romantic movie add to this perfect date
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.
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.
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.

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

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
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.
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.
beams of hope tendered
mirror images refract
combustive spark
burning ember flames
radiant glare recycles
residual steam
intense stare refuels
bursts of energy stokes flame
sweet puffs of smoke stream
