Spiritual Poems
POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poetry which debates religion, atheism and New Age spirituality
Here you'll find poems about religion, spirituality and atheism. Whether you're a spiritual person or not, this is where you can present, through poetry, your beliefs about if and what exists outside of our own physical world experiences. Poems in this area will ask questions and/or suggest answers. These include ideas about gods and higher beings, who and what they are and if they exist at all. Poems about scientific theories on existence are also welcome, along with New Age beliefs like Occultism, astrology, and metaphysics. So too is poetry about Paganism, psychic powers, voodoo rituals and cults. This category showcases spiritual poems the DU Poetry way: with lots of different points of view and where an open mind is essential.

~journaling the micro mosaics of One’s interstellar journey
like the spread open
tiny citrussy vesicular
succulences.. afloat
they are.. the plasmic sacs..
as aerial liquescing
mosaics, in a blinding
bright lighted up
efflorescence..
[just when, rings aloud
the palindromic drums
11:11.. as quadrupling
Ones.. ever feels them
as the foundational
gargantuan pillars.. of
anything & everything

a seamless carriage, of
one’s coffin.. in some
palanquin dignity.. as...

Cinder of Soul
Sweet surrender of echoes calling
from a sanctuary inking my obituary
unveiling wings twilight taking flight
tender embrace rhythms of the night
numbing silence of emptiness, grazing
fathomless eyes of a fallen angel gazing
witnessing the beauty of life's symphony
the cinder of soul, incense to behold
from a sanctuary inking my obituary
unveiling wings twilight taking flight
tender embrace rhythms of the night
numbing silence of emptiness, grazing
fathomless eyes of a fallen angel gazing
witnessing the beauty of life's symphony
the cinder of soul, incense to behold

Frequencies
I sought you briefly, a fleeting beacon,
to confirm my steps, my chosen path.
Will I ever see you again? I truly don’t know.
Are we tuned to the same frequency,
or have you merely stumbled upon my station,
a ghost caught in the hum of static?
I dug up your skeletons,
just so I could drink tea with them,
to make sense of the echoes they leave behind.
You fear the dark, but I find solace
where shadows weave their quiet embrace.
It was a Friday night—
a moment of resolve,
when I vowed to no longer dance ...
to confirm my steps, my chosen path.
Will I ever see you again? I truly don’t know.
Are we tuned to the same frequency,
or have you merely stumbled upon my station,
a ghost caught in the hum of static?
I dug up your skeletons,
just so I could drink tea with them,
to make sense of the echoes they leave behind.
You fear the dark, but I find solace
where shadows weave their quiet embrace.
It was a Friday night—
a moment of resolve,
when I vowed to no longer dance ...

once a black moon
a nymph slips
sylph shaded
bearing eyelids
kajal writings
engraved lips
occur opaque
ancestral
I gaze into
sentient
essence
find me
lunar one
among lithium
my Lilith orb
becomes
a lily white
atom
floating

From Your View
Within your embrace
Tenderness caresses
Quietening life long fear
Opening doors into all that you have imagined for me
I see new worlds too strange to understand
I’m saturated by intensity such as this
I stand with you…
Far from pain
…from dreaded memory
I see your face so perfectly beautiful
Burning eyes that see through my lies
Healing hands hold my soul
You teach me to fly way up high
I’m praying that time won’t catch us
Not this time….
Thunder echoes from distant shores
Enormous...

Veil of Green
In nature's Autumn theater
listening to a silent breath
beneath this veil of green
as I sleep, horizon I see
floating in the air...
death's serenity
listening to a silent breath
beneath this veil of green
as I sleep, horizon I see
floating in the air...

Wages of The Faithless
In depths unseen, beneath the endless night
Where shadows writhe and whisper of despair
I walked, alone, beneath an empty light
To witness what awaits the soul laid bare
No angels’ song, no holy trumpets sound
Only the hollow moan of desolate cries
For here, where souls in darkness are unbound
The Faithless walk with vacant hopeless eyes
Their steps are slow, their hearts are cold as stone
The wages earned for turning from the truth
In endless grief, they walk, yet walk alone
Their faith forsaken in the fleeting youth
...
Where shadows writhe and whisper of despair
I walked, alone, beneath an empty light
To witness what awaits the soul laid bare
No angels’ song, no holy trumpets sound
Only the hollow moan of desolate cries
For here, where souls in darkness are unbound
The Faithless walk with vacant hopeless eyes
Their steps are slow, their hearts are cold as stone
The wages earned for turning from the truth
In endless grief, they walk, yet walk alone
Their faith forsaken in the fleeting youth

wicked
untitled glory beheld me
the ground tremble at your approach
a heavy knowledge overcame me
wisdom was before me burning with truth
I must alter but it seems impossible
to change ones course without first changing oneself
my heart ache from the honesty of this
seeminly bent on one path I lament
travailing with the sacred Father
rejecting some of the things he presents
more information is needed
this causes me sorrow
were it that I so easily believe
but my mind challenges
causing me to fall into...

Thus Spoke Abaddon
"Lo, hark and weep, thou sons of dust
Man’s pride waxed and God’s decrees did rust
Once high, ye stood, in Eden’s grace
Now low ye crawl, a wretched race."
Thus spoke Abaddon
"In days of yore, thy hands were pure
But gold and sin thy hearts allure
Thy towers rose, thy pride took wing
Yet cursed thy voice, no more to sing."
Thus spoke Abaddon
"I watched thee fall, thy doom in stone
The mark of wrath, the seed was sown
By serpent’s tongue and lustful eye
Thy souls were bought, thy birthright...
Man’s pride waxed and God’s decrees did rust
Once high, ye stood, in Eden’s grace
Now low ye crawl, a wretched race."
Thus spoke Abaddon
"In days of yore, thy hands were pure
But gold and sin thy hearts allure
Thy towers rose, thy pride took wing
Yet cursed thy voice, no more to sing."
Thus spoke Abaddon
"I watched thee fall, thy doom in stone
The mark of wrath, the seed was sown
By serpent’s tongue and lustful eye
Thy souls were bought, thy birthright...

Finite
Only here so long
Stand your ground
While we right our wrongs
Eternally
Feed the demon
No more
Only here
For a couple more
Until that wretched shore
So open your soul
Open your mind
What remains here
A thing called life
Only here
For a couple more
Let us live this moment
Before that wretched shore
Stand your ground
While we right our wrongs
Eternally
Feed the demon
No more
Only here
For a couple more
Until that wretched shore
So open your soul
Open your mind
What remains here
A thing called life
Only here
For a couple more
Let us live this moment
Before that wretched shore

The Guiding Light
He went for his daily walk like he did every morning around 9:00 am
Today was Xmas
The weather was overcast with some light flurries
His wife was home and they will be spending Xmas with her parents today
His mother died 10 years ago
He hasn't spoken to his father since the time of her passing
They haven't seen eye to eye for many years prior, but once she died, they stopped talking
His mother was a caring, full of life individual that was taken to early
He wasn't the religious type
He would never go and visit her in the cemetery, which was only...
