FOSSILS

Skeletons unearthed
in the ardor of midnight excavations
within the cerebral closet caverns
explored during spelunking revelatory expeditions,
masquerading as veracity's archaeologists.

Timber's of reverie's shipwrecks
washed into chasms
during disillusionment's Tsunamis
shudder recollection's sense
during the vain voyages upon the sea of utopian currents,
vividly stirring images
of ambition's paradise isles.

But now, in wake of reality's tides
they lie as courage's excursion remnants.
Vow uttered in despair's darkness
to ride the crest of tomorrow again.
mind gropes for a spell to invoke
the buccaneer of achievement
while haunted by ghosts of experience,
moaning the lack of hammer and nails to build a victory.
