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.

Parole for my Soul
Parole for my soul
Please mister jailer just a question
Can you give me redemption
And parole for my soul
And wash away my sins
Like taking ink off a blotter
Fingerprints disappear
But a stain remains deep in my heart
Please give me parole for my soul
Go to confession on my knees
Jesus please save me
Lift my spirit and my soul
Make me like the original
God above the heaven
With parole for my soul
Free me from Satan
And dirty deeds things just that diminish me
Not...

The way you're going
Your parents have an issue and you live in constant pain
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what you tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same

Granite in the Distance
Granite in the distance
Far away pick up a pebble
But it’s not one to skip across
The still water in the night
For it raises a black hood
Kneel before satan and God
And plead to purgatory
My head says heaven
My soul says hell
Only hope my heart can pull apart
And split the divide
As I make sure they’re ok
Wrestle with demons in my head
As they pin me down
I flip around stand tall
Pick up the Cross of my savior
Down below I see fires burning
Dancing above as a flame licks my feet

Next November
Although I’m in a better place, I wish that I was here to stay.
'Cause even with eternal bliss, heaven doesn’t have your kiss.
When I look down and see your cries, I wish that I was by your side.
But don’t be in a rush to leave. You have both our dreams you must achieve.
And never feel you’re on your own. My love for you is set in stone.
So if you need to carry on, I know that you’ve been very strong.
So live and love, and just remember, we’ll catch up again next November.
'Cause even with eternal bliss, heaven doesn’t have your kiss.
When I look down and see your cries, I wish that I was by your side.
But don’t be in a rush to leave. You have both our dreams you must achieve.
And never feel you’re on your own. My love for you is set in stone.
So if you need to carry on, I know that you’ve been very strong.
So live and love, and just remember, we’ll catch up again next November.

Who Silences the Who
Who silences the who within the pores of the dark
flesh that wilted wisteria within the soul of nature's
thorns and roses in Flatbush where the river runs
currents of the heart abandoning the wretched of
the devil's cyclops, that bring me no flowers or April
showers in Psalms that I sing. Who silences the who?
flesh that wilted wisteria within the soul of nature's
thorns and roses in Flatbush where the river runs
currents of the heart abandoning the wretched of

On the Path
The truth of the heart is that it all ends',
the voice of a sage came quietly.
Or was it your own thoughts, locked far within yourself,
the childish need to affect rebellion
against an unfair scheme of life where all that lives will die
without a resurrection soon to grace?
The barn is empty, lashed by wind, and swaddled in blackness.
You sit inside and I come looking for you there,
to sit beside you in the cold and talk astrology, science,
belief, and other silhouettes that dance on hay bales.
We are two stalks of straw...
the voice of a sage came quietly.
Or was it your own thoughts, locked far within yourself,
the childish need to affect rebellion
against an unfair scheme of life where all that lives will die

to sit beside you in the cold and talk astrology, science,

Sew it Up
There’s a hole in the sky
Can we sew it up
There’s a hole in me
Can I repair myself
There’s a hole in basic decency
Can we put it back together
In spite of ourselves and what comes next
Can we sew it up
There’s a hole in me
Can I repair myself
There’s a hole in basic decency
Can we put it back together
In spite of ourselves and what comes next

Though Storms May Come....Stand
The greatest God, it is he who owns the storm, and im not speaking of man made storms, but the one who lets the rain, who loans the wind, who absorbes the force of the river when they desire for it to rage and destroy. The God who subdues death at his will.
This God I am praying to, the God of Abraham, God of Moses.
His son, the door.
I pray for his mercy, for the whirlwind to get caught in his lasso, where he can love it into a downy chick.
And the winds that follow, to sleep quietly in their heavenly designated corners.
Please God, I know we deserve...

Turmeric twilight knows
rustic riddles born through autumn
neighing near
oceanic knowing
a nomadic man
paints lines
at the back
of my skull
intrinsic cloak
around me
robed in silence
I meet him between
songs of old
listening
to feathered
light fallen
as these hands wrote
voyages in tones
rattle snakes
humming
songs
as these beeches stand alone
their gestating hands
weave into life
flickering orbs
singing synched lines
...

epiphanies and throwing rocks
punish me for being
I was pretty once
then I still thought I was beautiful
and maybe I was, because my personality was or wasn't
my person shifts inside
slips in and out of focus and I lose time
forgetting who I am it's always been this way
coming and going these people all reflections of me
sexiness incarnate when my confidence is unshakeable
trembling in my shoes standing in the shadows
terribly mean perhaps even cruel with my words
honesty blushing she is most lovely to me
her melancholy smiles within me ...

A Touch Of Infinity
Boy quit playing that isn’t no five-caret ring
I cannot even see one diamond
Na’ll baby look closer
This piece of bling set me back, girl you better quit playing
And peep this, I even had the inside engraved
You better hold out that finger of yours
And I’m still getting the panties later
Arrogant and handsome, who knew
Oh, let me read the engraving, hold it near the candle flames
Oh, I love you and yes
That is a diamond I would love to wear for eternity
I thought you knew who the King is
Well,...
I cannot even see one diamond
Na’ll baby look closer

Heavenly Glories Unmatched
By seven stars, the heavens weave their thread
In sacred numbers, secrets are outspread
The One who speaks in fire and still, small voice
Hath formed the world in sevens, by His choice
In threefold power, mysteries doth arise,
The trinity concealed in earth and skies
For three and one, the paths of light are shown
By twelve, the gates of heaven are made known
Twelve tribes, twelve stones, the pillars of the land
And twelve the stars that crowneth wisdom’s hand
By forty days, the flood doth cleanse the earth
By forty...
In sacred numbers, secrets are outspread
