Most Commented Religion / Spirituality Poems (1,340)

I Bring to you my wounded soul
My heart can mend its own
For my soul is not my claim
Its yours, I learnt this as i grow
So tell me Lord, if you love my soul
Why is it in despair?
I know I'm not the only one
So to seek answers for me alone will be unfair
Oh Almighty God, God of Moses, Elijah and David
Where are you when i call,?
When I shout and scream to the top of my voice
'OH MY GOD, rescue my injured soul"
You can make the choice
But for me, there is no sleep and the desire to eat is gone
Should I count you the same as my appetite my God
"Gone"
But if you exist,why torture me, and leave me here in this cruel earth alone
And imagine the words on man comfort the broken by what the call your own word
'Your ways are higher than our ways, your thoughts are higher than our thoughts, no one can understand your council My God'
So is your promise true? If your words are life so then answer!
'why have you abandoned those that need you so much'

Beautiful blue sky and warm gentle breeze
Flowering roadside blooms covered with bees
Lush green hillsides reaching to the sky
Making the bride release a happy sigh

For today she and her love will be wed
In the beautifully set meadow up ahead
A lovely arch at the end of the footpath
Covered with flowers and only sun is forecast

Why is June the favorite month of all
Only followed second by the months in fall
It’s the colorful flowers of late spring
More beautiful than any bride’s engagement ring

Roses, Lily of the Valley, Peonies and many more
Make the most beautiful wedding décor
Making for the perfect setting to look at in awe
As all these things were furnished by God

Resting in a hill station guest-house,
over the worst of dysentery.

The bazaar dealer's tab,
“Sir, good stuff... straight up...
San Francisco. Yellow Sunshine."
Is starting to hit and
I'm smoking a chillum of charas.

Through the fog of writhing smoke
and dancing rainbow mountain mists,
I watch a woman,
a Mahavidya - maybe
pad the jasmine track
to a distant wayside shrine.

Pennants and wind chimes
line the pathway.
Incense drapes the trees.

She sings a hymn;
echoing against granite crags
rebounding in the songs of birds
it entrances me even
as it mystifies me

‘her gods are not known to me,
all gods are unknown to me’

She made the journey yesterday,
shoeless,
and the day before.

I feel the pulse of
foot... foot... foot
bruising the grass.

And with each weighted step
the sighing of rooted blades
that would walk beside her
if they could.

I am rooted too.

When the soft rain falls on the grass

In darkness hides not the mummer

That each rain drop striking each blade

Drops by fragile drop through summer



The work and worries of the daylight

Vanish completely from its mindful turn

The only clue in the soft echos of midnight

Bouncing softer and softer upon each return



Not a few fluttering wings has us taught

That the moths of each season will persist

What war and injustice has brought

Would nature not care if humans exist



For in herself is woven one need

The tapestry of forests mixed in fog

Untouched by the impostures greed

The buzz of bees in and out of a hollow log



Who in her nest still sings her merry song

While distant mates shrill as battle’s call

Just what brings happiness to us all along

Scarcely be made for any of us at all

To this song, amongst some others,
will you take my hand and dance with me ?
To feel your cheek against mine,
to graze your skin all over my own, Sweetie,
as you whisper love's timeless endearments
as sweet and deep as aged red wine ...

Will you dance with me slowly,
.... as you gently pull me closer...?
As I feel your beating heart so near,
when my own starts to flutter ever so faster ...

Will you dance with me
as you become my dearest Darling ... ?
When I sometimes will
that I could make Time stand still,
and just bask in your loving
which to the deepest part of me
blesses with indescribable thrill ...

Will you dance with me to this song
and some more other ...
so through the years , this flame in my heart
will not flicker out but, instead,
grow all the more stronger ...
So as I live through my life's remaining chapter,
I can put a period to its last sentence
with the sketch of a heart , in memory of my times
with my dearly beloved lover & partner ....

When God looks down upon me, just what does He see?...
A man that is righteous,...or at least tries to be?...
Or does He see things that I can’t imagine?...
I simply can’t fathom,....The Master’s reactions...

He’s said “In My Father’s house, there are many mansions”...
Imagine the compassion our Dear Father has fashioned...
It’s tragic for all those that do feel abandoned...
I’ll bet my sad life, ....there are no bad cabins...

There are those that will wonder why I write what is right...
Some will think I have no right to write light...
Few will still gaze at the truth with delight...
I’ll fight to the end,.... with all of my might...

I could choose to continue, but what would that do?...
Confuse the few that seem to know...”It’s not true”...
For those unsure of what to believe...
Just follow your heart,...pray you’re not deceived...

Now let’s go back to the top of this poem...
Would you reconsider......the words that I’ve sown?...
Or will you continue that tone that you own?...
God loves you beyond what you think He has shown.....

"'Eudaimonia'"

Crawling through my own collective
Overcoming lachrymosity
Changing my depths perception
A denial of Your effect on me
Beneath a glowing silver moon light
Swallowed thy caliginosity
Inhaling a redolent velvet sunrise
Of my sweetened insanity
Sardonically feeding the monster
Quietly I smile and just pretend
My enemies I will conquer
And destroy them in their halidoms
Then I'll climb the rainbow ladder
Catching raindrops of deflating dreams
Higher than any silver lining
I will lick all of my black clouds clean

here comes the funchild; see how she runs; come to me fun, child of the sun; hold back the night so I may see light; where there were dark clouds; millions of clouds covering all of mankind! funchild; where are the days when we ran wild; funchild; bring back the days when we ran wild!
my bodys weak and my eyes start to close; I breathe my last breath and lay in repose; til my eyes open and wonders I see; a brand new world standing right before me; and there is my funchild just waiting for me! she holds up a mirror and a young face I see! funchild; a whole new world"s waiting; so let us depart, and spend forever in merriment with the lord; close to our heart! funchild; please join me now; for this world is so free! let"s walk together as one; through eternity!

Sleep my dear Cecil ,
Less i disturb your rest,
Let the demons forget,
Tormenting your poor head.

Hear my soothing voice,
Bring dreams that's nice,
Relax your five senses,
Unwind your antennas,

watching eyes of yours,
please go to sleep,
i knew you not here,
from deep in my dream.

angels watch over you,
saving you i believe,
waiting for you tonight,
close eyes and slumber.

Sssh hush now

The greatest of human philosophers cannot by reasoning prove that you exist
And yet nature testifies that you are real
You are not a magic potion
Still you are the all sufficient one for those that trust in you
You are not a charm or amulet
But you banish all darkness, fear and evil
You cannot be inhaled, absorbed, ingested, digested or given intravenously
Yet you empower man’s total being with strength
You cannot be seen, touched, heard, tasted or smelt
And yet you…..
Are seen through the eyes of understanding
Touched by faith that bring about wholeness
Tasted through digestion of your words which is sweet
Heard as you impresses your word upon the heart
Smelt as the heart ponders your awesomeness
Those that mock you in life
Tremble at the thought of meeting you at death
Those who are persecuted because of you
Endure such persecution with gladness and joy
For you control the forces of nature
And uses them to accomplish your purposes
When other need multiple gods to satisfy their needs
You surpass all any man can need and more
You are so great no one name adequately describe you
El, Elyon,El Shaddai, El Olam, Adanoi, Yahweh, Jehovah and more
You are the Almighty One, the great creator, LORD of all
You are the most wonderful, most glorious,most powerful being in the universe
You are the Almighty God
