Ritual Poems - Poems about Ritual

In the depth of silence, where shadows dance their eternal ritual, A song of the heart is born, a call piercing the veil of forgetfulness, There where the soul travels through abysses of light and dream, Seeking meaning in the chaos of stars that unravel into memories. The river of thoughts flows incessantly, whispering tales from foggy times, Where ancient...

Outside the trees are called by the Autumn’s breeze. The door isn’t perfectly shut as the leaves seep through the uneven cracks. The whistling tune from Nature’s broken karaoke machine finds its way under the door. Slowly the shadows become dimmer as the morning sun sets in and the birds begin to chirp as the crickets causes a ruckus enough to wake the subconscious mind from sleeping internally. The...

(On Father's Day) Like most mornings, I awoke, Got out of bed on the left side. Not sure if that was the wrong side, But I know for certain, It wasn’t the right side. Aloneness is sort of that way— No offer of a second opinion, No pat-on-the-back save a broken arm, No meaningful conversation around the table. A moment of nihility—this morning. ...

"Eclipse Ritual" Beneath the lunar scowl, they gather— figures draped in shadow’s breath. A serpentine chant curls through the pines, a hymn to summon sleep and death. The flames burn cold, phosphorous white, in bowls of bone and rusted gold. Their whispers slither through the void, retelling truths too dark to hold. A cascade of ash rains from the trees, as something stirs beneath the...

Within the twilight of the witching hour, where dreams mingled with reality, your tongue, a sacred blade, flicks me open— each unspoken word unfurling from your lips presses against the ache of mine like a spell. And I gasp— my lungs filled with stardust sighs, as explosions of nebulae grace the dark behind my eyes. "The clouds parted like the pursed lips of...

The trash bag at my door—gone, someone took it. In the shared hall, I see a ghost from years ago. A glance, three short lines, one long breath— We look at each other like catching, releasing ghosts. Do we both think the other’s faking it? The line between man and phantom is only light. A few ghost-words, truth-words—thank you— Thanks to her,...

An Ice Fishing House, Abandoned, in Need of Repair That same shed waits by the trees. Waits on its skids for the lake to freeze, and the for the creaking joints of bickering stoop-shouldered men as they push it out to the center of a pool of glass. It houses the stories of fishing in winter, pulling sustenance, wriggling, through chiseled portals into another...

What twisted minds we have! Fascinated by dark ritual, sacrifice of human blood to call black magic to our aid. Alluring secret knowledge, perilous complexities; attempting to control the supernatural. How can this make sense anymore? Two thousand years ago, the Divine bled itself for us, granted us power despite our unworthiness and ignorance. Freely given, and open to the light. A ritual beyond our wildest dreams. So condescendant, the...
