THE HOMECOMING (An Original Poetry ➕ Poem challenge entry)
IMAGE SOURCE; Pixabay Stock XII
We are weary and worned out
on this sojourn to denude cryptic things
the world we call abode,
is a elephantine question mark
that makes the soul
constantly sonder in wonder
like a glittering onyx in the sands
emitting queries no elucidation
but we travelled to unravel
only to return still in marvel
Life is a fabrication
a sweet concocted perception
built in the flexible sands of the sea
stinking with a dungeons of clandestine stories
We are lambs unknowingly walking to slaughter
jinxed and charmed
by the beauty of the butchers's blade
shimmering in the sun's arch
cursed by the blessing of ignorance.
We're returned, a glorious homecoming
ashened by the burning sun rays
a caricature of how we sojourned
emaciated by the windy nights
and shipwrecked by uncertainty
the pier to the solemn places
is a deception that plagued the intellect
angel's route with beastly moans
we've returned sunken with disbelieve
We're returned
cooking and brewing strange stew
hatching infested ambitions
while gathering impaired dreams
we will remain mummies in tombs
with no sweet epitaph to relish
men who taunted the tainted paint
behind the Monalisa
