Devotion Poems | Examples

I have found that person


I have found that person, gentle and true,
A soul that feels like a dream come through.
In their silence, I hear a song,
In their presence, the world feels strong.

For the very first time, my prayers I hAve spoken,
To God for someone, with words unbroken.
Not for riches, not for fame,
But for this heart that calls their name.

Every glance feels warm, divine,
Like stars decided with me to shine.
Every touch is soft, a guiding flame,
Love that cherishes everything...

I have found that person, now I see,
The missing half that was meant for me.
Not by chance, not by design,
But by God’s blessing, forever mine

There will be one last word
I will say it to you

There will be one last sunrise
We will watch it together

There will be one last road 
We will walk it together

There will be one last meal
We will share it together

There will be one last drink
We will toast it together

There will be one last breath
I will take it with you by my side


It's Easy When You Know

I still write poems in my head
On paper, maybe not
But if you ever wanted one
I'd write it on the spot
See I just have to think of you 
To get the words to flow
Then watch them turn to poetry
It's easy when you know

Premium Member Loving You As Promised

Today I had to question myself,
Why it is im still in love with you.
You have made it quite clear,
You and I are over and through.

Holding on the way i am hurts me,
And you act as if you don't care.
I look at you withe tears in my eyes,
You look at me with an empty stare.

Does it even matter to you at all?
That i will forever be holding on.
Or that the love we once held 
And our life we shared are gone.

You say you will never come home
And I need to grow used to being alone.
Understand each day since you left 
This sadness inside me has grown.

Please do this one favor that I ask,
While you're living life remember me.
And be assured I'm still right here
Loving you as i promised I'd be.

Premium Member Om Namah Shivaya

He was calling me through the years.
He sat with me as I cried all my tears.
He was always near by my side,
And now I know it, from the inside.

His face always makes me feel at peace.
He always made my blessings increase.
His essence is growing within my mind,
As I realize to all and myself, I must be kind.

He forgives sins because he understands
All of the differents ways of life in all lands.
He is guiding me now towards the Light,
His essence shall make my soul so bright.

His images, although various, feel familiar,
As though I've known him in past lives prior.
He will be with me my entire life and beyond,
He will gift me a uniquely special bond.

In My Mirror

I walked through storms with nothing but fire,
Dreams grew heavy, but lifted me higher.
ALL MY SHADOWS BECAME TEACHERS OF LIGHT,
I turned my bruises into courage at night.

I carried burdens that bent my back,
Still built bridges where the ground was crack.
BENEATH THESE HILLS, MY ROOTS HELD STRONG,
Even in silence, my spirit sang long.

The world tried caging what I could be,
But destiny whispered: “Fred, you are free.”
COURAGE REQUIRES WOUNDS TO FIND ITS SONG,
I wore the pain and still walked on.

From protector to leader, I carved my name,
Through trials and scars, I mastered the game.
DESTINY IS WRITTEN IN UNSEEN HANDS,
Yet I rise daily, to claim my own lands.

I AM THE ARCHITECT OF MY OWN CAGE,
Building freedoms eternal, from age to age.

Paradise Wind

The wind carries your name today—
whispers it through my ribs,
fills the hollow
where breath once flowed.

Is this you
riding the morning currents,
or just my chest
mistaking echo for arrival?

From distant shores
starlings lift and scatter,
their wings dark against the sky.
You ask why warmth abandons my skin?

Love is water leaving the body—
drop by drop
until only the vessel
remembers fullness.

Who opens their lungs before lightning strikes?
Who breathes deep
into a storm's eye
and expects to stay whole?

Your presence moves through smaller beauties
the way wind bends wheat—
everything golden,
everything changed.

My exhale trembles,
tastes your name
on its way to the waiting sky.

In these paradise winds,
between my last breath
and the horizon's quiet answer,
I almost catch you, almost become
the space where air learns touch.

Premium Member All That I Have to Give

When I look back,
I see loneliness and an unfeeling heart.
Then I fell in love,
that's when my life truly starts.

I didn't think it was possible 
to love someone so much
that you would almost die
just to feel her touch.

I can't imagine what would happen
or how I would survive
if you took your love away;
I could not keep my heart alive.

I can't explain the happiness
or joy that I have found
now that you've come into my life,
my world is safe and sound.

I wish I could give back to you
all that you've given me,
but the only thing I have to give
is to my heart...the key.

Remember This

All the things I said to you
Were from the deepest depths inside
Count each and every one as true
From all but you those things I hide
And should it be my life spans long 
Your cozy cabin in the wood 
Is where I'll wait to hear your song
Until I close my eyes for good
Form: Rhyme

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 Member Dark 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
