THE SOUL'S QUERY (An Original Poetry)
IMAGE SOURCE; Soul Sickness
Like chameleons
shedding gargantuan tears
dandelions drowning on fears
crumpled chrysanthemum bleeding blue
isolated away from plain sight
unable to behold the prodding fingers
of the flustering sunset
we gave our soul to the crashing waves
to love the sweet darkness
Slithering and sizzling within
rhetorically seeking for the soul's seer
to unfurl our future on a crystal ball
The soul queries,
it aspires the esoteric enigma
concealed from the consciousness
why weariness lives on
but hopes dies a zygote death
perspiring on the gnashing of winter
only to watch the fragrance of spring
from the comfort of the grave
salvation bought with blood,
yet transgression lives onto immortality
to unease the persona till eternity.
We sojourn to the earth crusts
to find the bend
beneath the arching moon
the components of the firmament
that comes in cones
we upturn the heavens
like quicksand of secrets
looking whence eyes
may never perceive
we're on a pilgrimage of curiosity
enroute roads with freezing skulls
and cooking conscience
The soul queries
the body's crucifixion
the crows and vultures
feeding off our humanity
dashing through our bodies
pricking our hymen
till we become Catacombs
with empty ambitions
tombstones with infant dreams
the soul queries, still seeking
