Maritime Metallic Mind

The cobalt mind of ancient mariner of the seven seas, the surfing sailor tosses on the waves of youthful life, rolls on the curled crests with the splintered moon, drawn into dark agony troughs of the drowned stars, spread pearls of joy on shore embroidering exuberance. Crushed sands sculpt the trail of the seaward footprints, designed by the crumbled contours of transient decay. Time arrow points to the turquoise terrain ethereal, away from the wistful wilderness abandoned, where the chasm stratifies the collapsed hopes undying. The weed-webbed wasteland defined deep within, piles up the shipwrecked splinters of life unlived. Withering garden garners tinny bleakness, yet shining, as the path paved outside the obscure familiarity fence waits to be walked by the mesmerized wanderer to the marvelous meadow of tantalizing tomorrow. The invented alchemic aptitude of the mystic memory makes glittering gold on the rusted crust of the ruins. Marigold blooms on scrap heap with steadfast sanguinity in Midas touched shipwreck junkyard of the metallic mind.
