A Season Of Eternal Ceremony Poem by Soran M. H

A Season Of Eternal Ceremony

Rating: 5.0


Emancipation
has been proclaimed
but the hero is still
staring at the corpse
wrapped in funeral vestments
he asks: who is he?
- a woman, she looks like
Mary Ann Bevan
mourns a weeping among the group,
she replies with her painful smile:
he is the young King
and the white flag that he raised
has been placed on his forehead
*
outside the palace
there are eternal rituals:
Crows reverently bury their dead,
Cain does not sleep well
whenever he puts his head on the pillow
he sees the wolves chasing them with Judah
while Sisyphus rolls
his huge rock to the top of the mountain
and so it will not end
this season of eternal rites

The guilt in human kills him like slow poisoning. Nobody can escape death and nobody can carry guilt on their back for long. A thought provoking poem.A trait of human nature nicely explored...10****

Soran, good Soran. I can only assume and interpret your powerfully imagined poem as a metaphor for Alphonse Karr's legendary and timeless quote, 'The more things change, the more they stay the same.' A poem of deep thought that has certainly made me think deeply. And there lies the beauty of good poetry, forever in flux. Five respected and thought provoking stars. Many thanks Soran take care and enjoy life.

Cain(4) does not sleep well whenever he puts his head on the pillow he sees the wolves chasing them with Judah(5) while Sisyphus(6) rolls his huge rock to the top of the mountain and so it will not end this season of eternal rites
