Dove Poems - Poems about Dove

Holy Spirit
My soul is lifted out of my mind. In its stead— filled by the Holy Spirit, guided in silence by its breath... like an angry wind held still above a river born of crashing falls, with a tooth that grinds iniquities, and a sacred flame that cooks the soul, the mind, the spirit— to perfection... for the baptism of old me to become a whole...

It was the first time I heard the dove’s low call— three minor notes stretched thin across a motionless prairie on a shimmering hot afternoon, the kind where even shadows try not to move. I felt like I should be in mourning too— but for what, I didn’t know or had forgotten. Black Cats and Roman candles found no customers that day, just heat, and a solitary...

Premium Member My mother's hands are dove wings, gently caressing my cheek
My mother's hands are dove wings, gently caressing my cheek, "My beautiful girl," she whispers, and her words peel off me like dead skin, How dare she love this shell, this body that bears the burden of shadows? How dare she kneel in my ruins, planting flowers where only thorns can grow? I wish to open my ribs, to...

Premium Member Picasso's Dove
Let’s imitate we share it The plan to make ends meet Negotiating fairly Things we don’t really need But let’s get rid of “we” For someone’s lofty goals Aren’t relevant to me And different from yours Let’s set the sail to find At least a metaphor That hails a peace of mind As it was long before In period of time When that Picasso’s dove Saved lives of you...

A VISIT FROM A FAMILIAR WHITE DOVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS
In the middle of the woods I sit Becoming lost The world for me no longer a hit Pure Peace at no cost Watching the gentle water flow Completely still I am happily hiding from the everyday show On cool, quiet hill A smile of soft joy creeps up on me With Happy Thoughts of You A familiar white dove peeps in the form of...

Creek Free Verse
Breach the surface within, Feelings change, Cold hands always doubting me. Ceilings hang over me, Teach me to never break down, Sealing what’s shouting “release”. I was always a dove, These feelings of love, They’re what’re crowding me. I was only a dove, Those days I was young, Cold hands were holding onto me. I...

rise above
I will rise above. Fly like a dove. Peaceful and free. Nesting in a tree. Or in the breeze. Ready to seize. So full of love. Just like me. Make the world freeze. As we rise above. ...

Death of a Dove
Am I in love? How am i to know She is my dove Purer than snow Sent from above Not long ago With push and shove Her tears overflow I wish I could be better I’d give her my life I hate to upset her Id make her my wife I go back where I met her Along my thigh, a knife I shall never forget her As I end...

Turtle dove love
In the quiet of dawn, where the soft shadows play, Lives my dear sweet turtle dove, come what may. With feathers of grace and eyes full of light, You whisper me secrets when day turns to night. You coo in soft rhythms that dance through the air, A serenade woven...

Peace embrace
Do you think I'll cry if I lose your love? My heart is a rock; my friend is a dove. So I stay strong no matter the tension, I'm unmoved by whatever you mention. Like a dove, I'll always embrace your peace, I'll be true to you like a fine timepiece. When you're finally back to your senses, Your grief won't be...

Deadly Flight of Widowed Dove
Where are your arms hidden in disguise, you are our path to freedom and pride. The spaces are taken by the celebrated and hated, where is the love which given is for unborn, take us with free love, and deadly flight of widowed dove. Stay within my spaces, open your native places. Understand with an open heart, war is just an ugly form of...
