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.

The Gift
There is too much energy
in my bones tonight for sleeping.
Gazing out my window at the shadows
where a full moon in Pisces ought to shine.
Mind races like the currents of
the Grand River that I sat by.
Crystals that were gifted there
call a Siren song to my heart.
The tides are churning, seafoam oozing
like pus from the pores of perceivable time.
Minerals collect at my feet.
How long have I been standing here
with this wistful stare?
in my bones tonight for sleeping.
Gazing out my window at the shadows
where a full moon in Pisces ought to shine.
Mind races like the currents of
the Grand River that I sat by.
Crystals that were gifted there
call a Siren song to my heart.
The tides are churning, seafoam oozing
like pus from the pores of perceivable time.
Minerals collect at my feet.
How long have I been standing here
with this wistful stare?

What Is Real Love Anyway?
Do you want to know how to tell if a love is real
Would you like to know when it's unconditional
Real and unconditional should be the same thing
The words 'real' and 'unconditional seem simple
Yet they are thrown out like candy devaluing both
So where do I start?
The test for real love is does it last
Does it affect all your waking hours
You cant get them out of your mind
You smile every time you see them
You are always pleased to see them
You'd do anything for them
You'd always love and care for them
You would literally...

an embodied vision
a golden shining serpent
like an “S” of a mystic alphabet
in its appearance seeming urgent
feeling it from toe to head
clear answers tend to stay hidden
in future days but I can see
this sign is not some kind of riddle
but forms another path to be
lust for silently awaiting
this another transforming step
into unseen spheres preshaping
a growing flow to leave the trap
as a new embodied vision
becoming one with what I am
to dream and feel
dissolving into my own suspicion ...

To Whomever
are you listening?
are you there?
are you glistening
anywhere?
scintillating
thought streams flow
no more waiting
I must know
do you hear me?
can you see?
I am weary
set me free
elevate
my point-of-view
end the wait
are you you
or a thought form
which I've made
from my mind born
that will fade?
if you're out there
if you're real
you are somewhere
I appeal
let me see you
let me feel
let me know too
what is real

Majesty Of The Seraph
Songs of light escape their lips
To bless all six wings never clipped
Gathered by the creator's throne
A heavenly choir making sinners atone
Singing the Lord's praise
The mighty are gifted and raised
To be an audience to these higher beings
Whose glow across the universe sheens
Immortal against the flow of time
They speak in melodies and rhyme
For their music is for...

Echoes
Mist in this chamber
waiting for release
Truth parked still below
faith reposed in peace
Always be there signs
shadows that implore
gentle wind to close
hinges on each door
Enticements to embrace
misadventured if asleep
unnoticed they accumulate
an incremental steep
Stone against stream
polished by the flow
Diamond is to tuff
Truth compared to faux
When the master calls
the opening of the gate
synchronistic dreams
will awaken from their wait
waiting for release
Truth parked still below
faith reposed in peace
Always be there signs
shadows that implore
gentle wind to close
hinges on each door
Enticements to embrace
misadventured if asleep
unnoticed they accumulate
an incremental steep
Stone against stream
polished by the flow
Diamond is to tuff
Truth compared to faux
When the master calls
the opening of the gate
synchronistic dreams
will awaken from their wait

Obsidian obsesion
When you inhaled my psyche
A predator's lust
opened Eros wings
Beneath wilderness
I offered you my breath
Into these bursting lips
Musk whisps hued
Exuberant inflammations
Exiled, exhaled
Vital stems swam
Into intimacy
I was born in the cells
Of your body
Rivers rose at our feet
We casted the waves
Into our splintered eyes
Knowing we would not
Meet again
I grew Love's
Symbiosis
As a tree
The yearnfull
Mimmicry of
white wild maned sea
Will wash you...
A predator's lust

I offered you my breath

Point A: Departure
"We do not see things as they are
but as we are.". . .
because we are organically
manufactured
by circumstance, becoming
products of our own environment;
our filters obscure perception
according to individual experience--
until the age of accountability
forces choice upon us:
direction, action, consequence

Old soul
Her thoughts so tender
are reflections of a soul
one that is thousands and thousands of years old
experiencing a multitude of incarnations
Ever learning ,ever growing through many trials and tribulations
Evolving ,metamorphosing
into this spiritual being
she is love ,she is light
radiating the divine cosmic sheen..

What it Means to be Pagan
The magick of life is all around me,
The heart and soul of the Earth, the sky, and the sea,
Are constantly calling out to me,
Saying "this is my home. This is where I am meant to be."
In a world wrapped in amber fire,
Whispering it's warmth, like the sweet song of a Lyre,
Of the sun and of the moon,
That I will not leave anytime soon.
A love I have found beneath my feet, and above my head,
More beautiful than in any books I have read,
In the energy all around me,
And in all the celestial...
The heart and soul of the Earth, the sky, and the sea,
Are constantly calling out to me,
Saying "this is my home. This is where I am meant to be."
In a world wrapped in amber fire,
Whispering it's warmth, like the sweet song of a Lyre,
Of the sun and of the moon,
That I will not leave anytime soon.
A love I have found beneath my feet, and above my head,
More beautiful than in any books I have read,
In the energy all around me,
And in all the celestial...

Dualism
All the splendor on this shining Earth
Was carved for you
To delight, amaze, and mesmerize
Don’t forsake a ray of sun
For fear of dark
The light delivers itself to tantalize
And as you reach
Upwards aeternum
Night coaxes you to realize
That they were one all along
And you are forevermore
The apple of both their eyes
Was carved for you
To delight, amaze, and mesmerize
Don’t forsake a ray of sun
For fear of dark
The light delivers itself to tantalize
And as you reach
Upwards aeternum
Night coaxes you to realize
That they were one all along
And you are forevermore
The apple of both their eyes
