Best Sanctifying Poems


Premium Member Lady of My Life

Her heartbeat echoes like a love moan in my mind,
summoning centuries of refined romanticism soulfully enshrined,
the contralto of her voice a fillatio upon the cock of my consciousness,
through her eyes I see that mystery is the Mistress of meaning beyond regress,
my manly mouth serenades & suckles the rosy pussy of her prophecy, homage cunnilingus,
revelations irresistible in their heretical invigorations excite our imaginations
as we fornicate a ferocious forsooth soothsaying love's reincarnations,
a vignette of virility forthcoming from fate's far side fortifications
presents a primal promise in paranormal inceptions,

Premonitions primitive in heart heat paint
streak the skin of our desire to design an indigenous heaven,
flesh tones warm fast and feral revealing a vitality of spirituality that tongues detonate,
the Universe blooms into a Multiverse as she spreads her spell of star spice scintillation
onto my ripened body rendering her rites fertile in rich freight, 
within the brain's wildfire I feel her unction,

Becoming the shaman of our secret skin ceremony
I invoke the spirit of solar youth into veinage voracious for passion's patronage,
sanctifying the unifying lust between the bodily and ghostly unlicensed liberty,
shadow temple of temptation gives offering of blood and song from astral page,
death dream extremes fire hot ejaculation of divine vindication into cosmogony
as she and I have won our now with a win over age,

My Love Muse is more than a woman
she is a savage seduction and a sacred sweetness,
a Goddess of her own Cause...a lover known as Poetess,
her name changes from lifetime to lifetime, yet she is always beauty shown -

Premium Member Two Swans In a Pond

Two swans in a pond
In symphonic dance
Bowing to each other
Submissive obeisance

Meditating romance
On rippled vows
Rousing feathers
In flirting advance
Exchanging affections
In a wordless song 

Courting seduction
In dignified stance

A sensuous replay
Between stimulus
And response
Floating on arousal
Sanctifying foreplay

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry


Heaven Wept

The darkest clouds ever 
... overshadowing sight never before seen
Ominous high noon weather
shuddered the souls witnessing
		the 
	      death 
		 of 
     the King of kings
It was a festive occasion for the wicked
that Son-less day — 
a Roman execution was underway
Three wooden crosses 
were fastened to the sky
And the howling of the darkening air
changed the joyous atmosphere to fear
The wicked were taking pleasure
in their vote count  
They were pleased with the final tally ... 
a murderer being released
in exchange for 
		the 
		life 
		 of 
    the Prince of Peace
The Conqueror of Sin now hanging on a cross,
dying the death: 
Crucifixion — 
so unimaginably painful
Roman capital punishment
was lethal lingering torture
But for the evildoer viewers, it was a short-lived savor 
For the black clouds had blotted the sun,
plunging the sky into total darkness
Heaven wept that day, 
without shedding a teardrop from the sky
Heaven cried that day,
blood tears of the Lamb of God 
Sanctifying water soaked the ground
Cleansing the Resurrection plots,
that one day 
would be opened by the trumpet sound
Heaven wept 
funeral tears for us,
wearing a shrouded veil of darkness 
Hiding anguished Holy eyes,

		 for 
		 the 
	Father could not 
		look 
		upon 
		 the 
		Son


As the King of kings Messiah savior blood 
dripped 
            down 
            	    the cross 
from a 
          thorny 
	            crown

Strengthening our supplication through His steadfastness

teaching us to have Him always:
Trusting Him amidst crises
Thanking Him for His compassion
Toiling for Him despite challenges
Triumphing in His calling and caring
Treading upon His championship charge

Zeal where greatness pretends
Zenith where godlessness prevails
Zones where gloominess pervades
Zooms where goodness is perverted
Zest where greediness against grace pesters. Amen!

Premium Member Lead Me Home

Take my hand, precious Lord
And lead me toward home
I long to build a life that You have
Blessed, a life that is more than
Merely materialistic things
More than just my needs
But a life that is filled up with
Your insights, inspirations
Your dedication to my faith

I want to bring You my hopes
With assurance that I always know
You have everything worked out
I don’t need to worry or plan
You have it all there in your hands
Everything I need and all I could want
All my blessings poured out on me
Through a love that I so often burning
Fervently, inside me with joy and light
Feelings that are more than alive
They’re like a fire falling from the sky
Sanctifying my entire life, my heart
My soul and more… every part of my love

You are my wisdom and my strength
You lift me up when I’m so very weak
You carry me onward when I’m so afraid
You always love me and make a way
To rain down tenderness across my spirit
Free my mind from its darkest fears
Reminding me why I need You so much
You’re the answer to my every want
You keep me sane and inspire me to cope
With everything that comes, all the worry
The loss, the loneliness, the anxiety
You make a way where no way has been
You see me through the nightmares and dread
Free my soul from its place of terror
Guide my heart toward my sweetest desires

You silence the doubts that plague my soul
Show me just the right way to go toward hope
You prepare the way so that my journey home
Is filled with peace that quiets every storm
You are the light that fills up the night
Bringing me warmth dancing through my faith
You linger here with me when I’m so alone
Giving me assurance that I always have your love
And whatever comes, wherever I might go
You’ll be there with me, showing me the path
That will lead me toward the home that awaits
The home on high where my friends will never die
And where I will go when my journey is done

I seek You and your love above everything I know
You’re more than life – You’re the greatest gift
From a God who knows my heart and my soul
And gives me the hope of a heaven where I’ll know
You are the answer that saved my heart and soul
Freed me from the sorrow of a life with no hope!

Premium Member MY HAIR HONORS GOD

If my hair could talk to God above miraculously 
It would express praises and thanks to Him joyfully
For His grace, mercy and love shown constantly
Flowing along His provisions’ banks abundantly!

Yes, my hair would delight in God for cleansing water
Reminding His Word’s sanctifying power
Along His forgiveness that’s ready to deliver
Repentant souls seeking it through their confession-prayer!

Indeed, my hair would glory in God’s holiness-beauty
Appreciating each of His creation’s poised dignity
Declaring, “How privileged is earth’s humanity
To bear the image of the perfect Maker’s quality!”

My hair, for sure, would salute God for His wisdom
Since He knows the number of all hair strands in the kingdom
Even those that split away from hair-style boredom
And the ones that fall to find their much-sought freedom!

Never would my hair question God’s will
As to why it’s not bouncing, but kinky, or staying straight still
And why is it losing its luster despite the color-refill
For truly, the Lord cares, though head could be baldly ill!

How glad could my hair be in receiving God’s compliment
For being a healthy-strong covering in its useful involvement
Of its smooth and vibrant service as my crowning ornament
With its silky-wavy flexibility midst weather’s disagreement!

So, here’s my hair, deciding to be God-honoring
Always sweet-smelling against worldly fragrances’ devouring
Witnessing the Lord’s faithfulness and peaceful nurturing
Until it be gray, awaiting eternal, glamorous repairing!

Premium Member God's Tea Pot

Angel designated highest position,
sanctifying partakers from God's tea pot
Categories: sanctifying, christian, god, inspiration, inspirational,
Form: Free verse

The Virgin Mary

I once saw the Virgin Mary
On a wall in San Francisco
Black marks on a stucco wall
I knew you by the streetlight
A vision of sanctifying grace

Then fussy on a tangled path
Far from my roots of origin
You spoke directly into me
Through my rough exterior 
Reaching into the child in me

A mother caring for her baby
Forgiving before I even asked
In a whisper my voice told her
Bless me for always being less
Virgin Mary of the alley wall

Not judging me or hating me
For the person I pretend to be
Seeing us all as your children
A mother who understands us
Sharing your grace and beauty

So if you are gone in the morning
I ask you to keep your heart open
And to remember me here as I am

The Great Riddle

“The Great Riddle” 

Humanism became a new religion
in a world where romancing gods
at war sanctifying acts of violence

for their own levels of commandments,
became defunct, monotheism at odds
walked inside the vessels of mortal existence

there also, 
inside the great
I am, 

an image 
lives 
and speaks 

the sacriligious poet

writing and speaking 
listening to others
all the words gone wrong

considering rehoming 
after death, 
there are many houses...there, 

what should gods
and warring religions
matter then?

Inside 
the great 
I am, 

heresies romancing apostates
perilous poets and 
all consuming clerics

all made 
from the one 
image of a man

living life 
from the confusing words, 
read, written and spoken

sleeping together
uncomfortably
like warring lovers

blanketed under harsh covers
of different books
seeking something sweet

riddles to be answered
by judges after their death
when all do meet

standing around
the communal fire
burning all their books

peace came
to be 
upon them 

no longer
did they 
speak in riddles

a common knowledge 
all words transparent
one voice heard

its beating heart succinct, 
yet terribly misunderstood,
eventually felt

held 
in hands
after death

the Reborn,
eventually 
understood

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)

Wisdom Is Old Age

Like a fatigued athlete he rests on a wooden chair 
Gazing a spot in every revealing minute
As ancient thoughts roam in his word-mastered skull
Wisdom is old age! 


He summons us the prodigal offsprings
As proverb drips so is wisdom
Sanctifying our hedonism slaved minds 
Wisdom is old age!


He does say culture is value
And Wisdom is the voice of an aged man
Despise not your root while pursuing hedonism of modernity
Wisdom is old age!


"Offend not man and thou shall not be offended 
Fall in love but save your secrets for your security"
Those are refrains creeping from his tongue
True wisdom is old age and Grandpa is wise!

Premium Member Anklets and Jasmine Incense

Embellished saris glide with hot winds
as the clatter of  bright anklets  varnish
female  heels rippling  on New Delhi's trails:
pungent waft of curry permeates
through a local mart —betel, cinnamon
and mint leaves flaunt their skin—
kohl for Oriental eyelids,  ambrosial herbs
rousing  elder men-- while a bowl of lentils
incite my buds. 

Although the thick of  dust settles mid-air,
Delhi’s  evening of jasmines reflects
a holy incense sanctifying  a mystical chant
quiet , ethereal as I adorn myself
with a comfortable  sari and layered  bangles ,
gazing at Taj Mahal, if only to imbibe
this calm energy unfamiliar yet known
inside my core… my breath follows
Hindi prayers of wonderment
on and on like a song of moonlight,
until I accept   allow such deep belonging
through the city’s rhythm with the world 

and somehow, intimately mine.
