Best Profane Poems

Love
Love is but a word
To describe such an emotion
in a four-letter word
is the most profane act any human can commit.
Love is Love.
it cannot be defined by four measly letters.
Love is more than art,
more than literature,
you cannot fully describe it.
It is a unique experience,
yet anyone who...

Sacred and profane love by Titian - 1514

Love divine 

How it burns when it falls from the sky - 
how it hurts when the water is done. 
How it rains with the words half-denied, 
When the world looks for fabulous suns. 

How it aches when...

Love divine 

How it burns when it falls from the sky - 
how it hurts when the water is done. 
How it rains with the words half-denied, 
When the world looks for fabulous suns. 

How it aches when the feeling's away
from the roads that are...

Gnarled traffic defines the divine and the mundane
     and its peak hours mix the sacred with the profane:

                the slightest, faintest trace

I see her as the woman on the road,
and in the distance just inside her sight,
one solitary male approaching—that alone,
draws up within her, latent fire
and by its warming she must genuflect
before the altar of desire.
There is a silent passion, holy in its touch,
that sparks connection,...

A heart quite overpoured is mine.
It replicates the breath
inspiring purity and art
with just a piquancy of lust,
expiring endings of romance
and promises, 
of wisdom in the dance
that holds decorum back
and celebrates the wilds
of fancy, balanced by
excursions of the moment
into love.

Two natures reach
across the table of my...

A new home feels slightly pregnant
with possibility
yet empty of sacred reality

Not yet any echoing memories
of bumps on stairs,
late night scraping chairs
stuffed with familiar intimates.

Organic warmth sacrificed with each move,
attenuation of well aged relationships
with a new view,
a cleaner character of silence,
more unscrubbed inscrutable
than mere absence of...

He is quite a talented actor who is considered better than good.
However, he has to have the dirtiest mouth in Hollywood.
Achieving great fame, his name is one everybody would know.
He has appeared in three big movies with Robert DeNiro.
Those films were “Goodfellas”, “Raging Bull”, and...

She appealed for just having a dignified life.
The illiterate sit, their illiteracy pulls them down into darkness and shadow.
Let me be the new light, let me have a dignified life.
I wish to be one of my kind, don’t control me by your mind.

The thing she...

what is said to be
sacred
has never been such.

the fictions of religions have
plagued the minds of humans since
we made our first aurignacian 
scrawlings in the haute garonne of
france.

there we began to carve our 
images---
just embodiments of the world
around us but stretched out into
irrational fables which we...

Profane Speech
Russel Abdur Rahman 

There is no history that everyone is blind at night
Murk has eye, Lingo and it likes to love with hungrily song
And bear pulses of light!

Dirty time wouldn’t stable, history will sing changing song
It seems imperious habit of a fruitful creation.
No history...

Visited a psychiatrist, proved to be a strain
She apologized, she couldn't find my brain
Told her to keep searching
I can hear some chirping
Also noticed the chirping was extremely profane...

Caught in the snares of a night divided between the sacred and the profane,
where the stars seem to whisper forgotten secrets, I find myself in search of truth,
on a journey that parts the veil of self-knowledge,
where every tear of light, every shadow
reveals fragments of an...

Fear of God was healthy for friends
The relationship was it, not ulterior ends

Fear of God is still widely spoken
Love of things, brings Promises broken...

We sing “Holy is thy name, O Lord,”
Yet attach it to every unsavory word
Then euphemizing, we say “gall-durn,”
It seems like we will never learn!

We pray “Hallowed be thy name,”
Forgetting our curses mean the same
We even go so far as to say “Holy Sh*t,”
And rarely consider...
