Devotion Poems | Examples

Just Because

Just because I don't post 
Doesn't mean I don't write
Just because I don't publish 
I still have dreams at night
Just because it's unspoken 
Doesn't mean that I don't 
Just because you won't say it
Doesn't mean that I won't 
Just because I may want to
Doesn't mean that I would 
Just because I still love you 
Doesn't mean that I should 
The things that we want
Sometimes we don't get
Just because we don't see
The plan fully yet
There's no harm in keeping 
The flame still alive
In case I do make it
To one hundred and five

Premium MemberDark Princess

My heart, 
unable to beat
until I hear the treading, 
the treading of your feet.

My Dark Princess, 
dark and stunning,
you set my heart free, 
down a path and running.

You cause me to smile. 
It has been a while, My Love.
Come with me and fly 
as though you were a dove.

Your smile is entrancing. 
You are my very best friend.
We'll be together forever, 
for which there is no end.

Although you are dark... 
what I say is right...
You, Dark Princess, 
have filled my dark soul with love and light.

Damn, Its Her

I saw you once, 
and the thought of you refused to leave.
The day was fleeting, 
yet I wished the same for the night,
just to let the echo of you stay with me a little longer

I wrote you poems,
scattered my heart across notes,
believing I had mastered the assignment.
But no.....
it was your love language 
I was only beginning to learn.

This is different.
Unpolished, unborrowed
Its raw from the depths of my heart.

Oh, when I met your eyes,
heard your voice,
felt your touch,
I thought I had tasted life’s sweetest wonders.
Then you smiled
And the world itself seemed to pause.

Damn.
The world confessed,
This girl is out of this world.
Beauty beyond dispute,
grace beyond argument.

Love at first sight?
Perhaps.
But whatever it is,
it feels eternal,
& to me it feels just right.

More than a soft toy

More than a soft toy, 
Is a childhood friend of mine, 
He's been here for ten years, 
Maybe even eleven, 
Why do I feel such connection, 
Towards you? 

You've been in most of my memories, 
Grown beside me, 
Is that the reason why? 

When i sang a song for the first time, 
Or when you consoled me in the darkest nights, 
Is it because, i shared my everything with you, 
Even my childhood and heart? 

Oh my dear lovely jaguar,
I still remember when I hugged you while sleeping,
On the day I got you when I was five,
I just want you to know,
I still do this now.

You're my snuggling partner,
My first friend,
And my whole childhood,
My dear friend.

PROMISES

My Love promises are to honor and be true, and never make me blue. 
My Love makes promises that are so beautiful they make my heart pump with intense excitement. 
Excitement of love and life, that make all of my fears take flight. Like the birds flying around, I feel like I am floating on air. 
Like the wings of love are in flight, making everything look like sweet delight.
Love with promises are so nice, they make life have a path that we follow through all of life’s journeys. 
Love is so special, it finds us in ways only God intended. Making each of us have so many special moments, bringing us to our forever love. 
May all of our moments in this life, make our days sweet as my love makes me feel. 
Prayers to God, today and always.

Caffeine vapor

Caffeine vapor billows
blowing with the raindrops
the ceiling says
my body wanders
to a part of nowhere
glowing like a warm air
as if it were true

The reflection of the latte under the yellow light
the foam forms a crescent
like the curve of your smiling eyes

Petrichor tonight is so foreign
because only the gentle wind
between your body is familiar to me

I begin to enjoy the thunder
thundering beats
rhythmically
with the same beats
like an album cliché at my fingertips
jumping from time to time

Raindrops intertwined with nostalgia
melancholic rhythm
irony and romance
instantly combined
now flowing away

Dance among the crashing waves

A dance among the crashing waves
The turbulent sea on the shore
Rolling with white sand
The fragility of a body in pieces
In footprints that have left behind
The wind blows on the waving strands
Like a dance in the shadows at the edge of the beach
When fingers clasp
The waves run
Clashing against towering rocks
Playing with dreams at the end of the day
As if the sun will never go away

Port at the end of room

If it's a harbor at the end of the beach
then just say my name in a whisper
like a boat going back and forth
within its sturdy walls

And if it's a house
then the door is cracked
even though it's battered by the wind

There's no hot tea there
let alone the lonely flower of eternity
only soft eyes that feel different

No, not because everything has faded
but simply because it's over
this body still exists amidst the dusty walls
and you just need to speak

And if everything is gone
conveyed in the coldness of your low voice
then never close that door
let the dust continue to seep in between the cracks
and everything will fade
but not all the stories
that you whispered in the dim emptiness

Ended in misery

The heat creeps into the empty fabric
only getting colder
inside the tightly closed gray jacket
no warmth of jokes and laughter
nor embraces that are increasingly glowing
please, close your eyes for a moment
let me kiss between your reddened eyelids
bitterness of isolation

And if it's tomorrow
take the time for a final greeting
when I'm still stuck at the end of the road
so that the pressure on our shoulders will lighten

If it's still 20 counts
let's turn away before the bitterness ends and silences
before regret and suffocation grip us even more
before forgiveness and love are expressed again

Small Acts

a little sun through window
a whisper as the house
takes a breath and I’m
a moment older lost in reflection
about how the ones I loved
come back to me each time 
I get out of bed remembering
how someone who worked
with me stood near me
as I cleaned up a spill
a small act but it was
a big thing at the time
I ponder a crack in the highway
that was patched and that little things
lead to something greater as they
always have and when I was in grade
school I walked across the Mississippi
when it a stream flowing from a lake
while my father stood by and watched
and now the river carries the weight
of our weary lives and this morning
in a moment of silence 
conversations once lost come back to me

Humble start
Moment to express
Earth to Heaven
Need to pray
The Cross on the mind
A world that doesn’t spiritually care
A warning in beware
The US President acting like a King
The Holy One being the sit high and look down watch
Some people in the world refuse to bend
That could very well be their end
Wisdom of Thy
Seeing eye to eye
The creator of all
Deliverance call
Sees and responds
Wake up in Heaven’s yearn
Blessed to look upon
Embraces and assures
None better but the Lord
Power stronger than I
Today and Forever
Everlasting
Praise to above
Goodness to think of
Me and Thy

The sense of peace and silence that you bring as you are present is unlike any other. 
My soul wants to not just kneel before you but lay down on the earth you created and worship you for the very breath you have given me. 
My soul longs for you, my God. 
King of the universe. 
Yahweh.

what love could i seek if not yours?

what love could i seek if it’s not yours?
a joyous ode to your name— 
even sorrow would glee to hear.

i’ll leave some words on your doorstep
slowly relenting, slightly scrambling.

like the way they were in my tongue,
your name’s as sweet as the morning dew,
waiting for my lips to utter
each syllables describing all of you

don’t spare me from your benevolence
don’t spare me from your rage
don’t push me away when the voices 
get to the corners of your circle

breathe me in and hollow me out
let me hear the ache in your voice
before the wind’s whistle blow you away 
from me
