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.

A Telling
Shorn of pride
To see was Samson made blind
And daily the rut of a circle tread
A circle's without beginning
A circle's without end
A circle's eternal
And so is the spirit
And from his rounds
Beaten
And mocked in woe
Brought to stand between columns
Two pillars or poles
Two poles with Samson centered made three
The triptych
The gateway ...
To see was Samson made blind
And daily the rut of a circle tread
A circle's without beginning
A circle's without end

A History
Adam and Eve,
First of all kind.
A snake and an apple,
Took over their mind.
Cain and Abel.
With a rock he was slew.
Out of Nod.
An evil wind blew.
Two by two.
The animals came.
Forty days and nights.
Brought Noah to fame.
Slaves from Egypt.
Moses left the land.
Into the desert.
All rock and sand.
David and Goliath.
A stone in a sling.
Solomon's wisdom.
Made a great King.
Books are written.
Testaments of old.
Throughout the Bible.

Those 10 orders , you didn't heed.
Are in the book, you didn't read.
There is a heaven, but forget that glory.
This is Hell, the other side of the story.
For I'm Lucifer, and you belong to me.
My promise is, pain and
misery.
In sulphur fumes, your skin will sear.
It's going to happen, have no fear.
You hear that scream? you'll share their fate.
No need to pray, for its much to late..

Gravity
I used to play a game when I was a child, and her name was gravity.
I would stand outside, my arms wide open, and I'd let gravity curl her arms around me like the home that I was destined never to have.
Gravity kept me together, willing my body not to crumble under her fingertips.
Sometimes when the numbness starts to creep its way inside of my bones I come back to her, in hopes that she will hold me like she once did, when I was nothing but pain and grace.
And she does, even if it is only for for a few miniscule seconds, and then suddenly;
I am alive all over...

Bowing In Humbly Grace
To the consolation of the mortal man
Never to touch or kiss mystique ordained by God’s hand
Benediction mantras to the winds such fallacies to hammer of thy head
The tabernacle of annihilation where Angels never fear to tread
Wallowing in the entanglement conscious
Wishing for the scented lavender of compassion, love, and beauty in my intellectual bed
Rosary beads, amulets, crowns of grandeur, wings of regal crest
The hands of sacredness upon a time I was uplifted to the skies
Given back to the earth, Mother Nature’s echoes soothing the night from...

Changing The Physical
To change
the physical
a little warm
to the touch
a different beat
must be
Achieved
One can only train
ones mind
to touch the physical
to ask it
to change
It matters not
who you are
what matters is
what you are
All those
diluted deluded
Mutated
Meditations
Mostly designed
to keep one
Comfortable
Passive
Inactive
No attempt
on the Physical
One forgets
There are
no loop holes
no short cuts
No
I want to believe
For one...
