Gnosis Poems | Examples


Cross of Gnosis

The debt of soul to Nebro came through the cross of gnosis
Through strength of spirit, though no mortal sacrifice could pay that debt
Christ the vine became that tree of gnosis to pay the debt

Gnosis

I swim in the vast ocean of mind and 
plumb its depths for treasure 
The pleasure is all mine as it exercises 
my will to be great 
Many covet life's precious jewels but aren't 
willing to give what it takes in return 
I've learned that nothing is free in this game of 
life and high stakes
The price can make or break a man depending 
on his perceptions reach
High science is a vault that can never be breached
by the mind of a layman
You can climb Jacob's Ladder high into the sky 
of a mind by saving life
Heaven awaits atop the stairs like a loving and 
faithful wife
Just & true are the words being spilled from the
hermetically sealed
The sight of such truths can blind a man with eyes
that don't see & can't feel
Giving faith to those who didn't previously believe 
in what's real

Trampling Death With Bliss

They both ate dates from the tree of gnosis 
Froze the whirling wheels in place by their might 
Crushed the cherubim’s heads with bliss 
White mice who put cat and eagle in fright 
White lambs who put man and cherub to flight 

They felt the crushed dates flowing like a gust 
Tasting the full moon’s light without disgust 
Quenching the seraphim’s sword with their breath 
Turning his flaming coal to dust 
Trampling on his six wings of sin and death 


Inspired by the words "For when they ate of the tree of knowledge, they trampled the Cherubim and the Seraphim with the flaming sword" from the  ancient writing "Melchizedek" from the The Nag Hammadi Library

Julian the Emperor and Deserter

Archon of the west, whose spouse was the worldly Sophia
Who blindly abandoned his childhood lamb, to search for unseen light
Though the lamb could have showed him the pure gnosis he craved for


Poem (from a Gnostic Christian perspective) about the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate, who abandoned Christianity in favour for philosophical Paganism.

Pineal Gnosis

The worst lie
is the one you tell yourself.

The greatest lie
is the belief in that construct
of the mind
that you have an actual self
to lie to.

Truth is empty of the notion of you.
A lie is nothing but you.

Look to the pinecone,
the open cone,
look from that third eye
that spirit-sight gave to you
then hid 
in the  mechanical madness of the brain.
That gland set there like a prismatic jewel
in the grey matter of illusion
wherein dark is brighter than light.

Those who understand the symbiology
of gnosis
will not need to name it
other than that gateway
to that Higher Self
of your Godhead.

Christ the Eagle

Wings lofty and bright
Sharp claws perched on the date tree
Feathers light and still
A beak restless and serene 
To sing the song called gnosis

Diadem of Gnosis Given To Shem

Shem
Saw
Spirit 
Deep darkness
And light all fighting
To know how the cosmos was made
To know our hope in our liberation in the end
This gnosis was given by Derdekeas, who is Christ the son of Light, for those lost




Inspired by the Gnostic text The Paraphrase of Shem

Joyful Kiss of Gnosis

Abounding benevolence 
Christ descended 
Elevating For gnosis 
Humanity’s inheritance 
Joyful kiss 
Liberating magnificence 
Numinous 
Opening prison quaking 
Resurrecting Sophia  
Through Universal Voice 
With xenia

The Prince of Gnosis

The Prince Of Gnosis
    Imam Hussain
O Imam without you where would I be?
You are the one who can guide me
When no one can understand you are the one who can
O prince you are my hero and I am your fan
Please hold my trembling hand 
I am stuck in karbala full of sand
Raise me inside myself and fill my dull mind
You are a human and you are very kind
Make my life meaningful and awake my heart
I am an ignorant I don’t know where to start
You are the messenger of peace and full of grace
O prince guide me I am lost in this mighty space
The battle is not over yet evil is everywhere
I can’t stand alone I want your prayer
I am a seeker I need eternal flame
You are the voice of truth the world knows your name.

Gnosis

Passions fight within us, 
Raging
Writhing
They become obsessions. 
They must be caged 
Else they get loose and become hazards.

In grasping life’s secret 
imagine a god
Whose likeness can mingle in the worlds within a man
Like sweetness in honey, spread through
Till neither exists on its own: 
neither god nor man.

Gnosis

We seek to wrought with no Desire
Detached from all Earthly Pleasures
So yearning to know but with what do you hold?
That are way is wrong, aren't we all
greedy with lust and lustful for power?
How can you know what is right
When all we Ever Wanted was Wrong?

Dreaming a Dream filled with Ignorant Knowledge
It is what Tears us Apart
When we thought we were Right
We were Never so Wrong 

How can we Know what is Right
when the ignorance settled so long ago?
Humanity has killed The Divine with Desire
Seek to know what is right In your heart
For you; 'tis different for all
Never agree unless your heart accepts
Always seek
Find your Personal Logos
Be Enlightened
Seek the Gnosis
