a flood of wind
has swept away
the idle horses
mares of night
wind whipped
and stirred
black tack
fast against the
warm blonde wood
whitecaps beyond the
stone cast beach
and safety beacons
a half mile flash
upon the horizon
Mirage words in
prevoked tickle
abreveations
rising
there is enough woe
lost to the tides of
histories lapping
like waves pounding
ideals
from an ache
I want to sew up the
torn mirror from which
I fell from
stitchs of light and pain
the seeping darkness
lending itself down the
torrent mystery of the drain
Gitane and a pocket torch
the glimmer of the scene
on the tiles
and the night moving
swift on wings of persistance
sepia tones
against loves bones

As is mostly the case,
I found myself on google to find meaning in your title. And as is often the case, it shed some light on the passages to follow. Outside of what i presume to be a typo in stanza 5, I don't have much to offer other than a thank you for sharing.

Loved the intense pictures this gave, though a great sense of loss came out as if it was you crying inside yet the scene was of the coast and a storm, probably depicting that the same stom was there inside:-
Mirage words in
(provoked) tickle
(abbreviations)
rising
Take care, Yours ian.T

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

this to me is the essence of the poem and all that's needed. Very beautiful..
when are you going to edit your work into a book and become famous?

mythical oppurtune
publishing would ruin everything
free gifts are given free
creativity something that still
shines for me
although.............
posession of a book is a cherished thing
works and good writing I often read again
and again
Im always torn at that
and lazy
not something that I want to do right now
I just want to write
and exist here
trying to peice together all the peices
of the puzzle
thank You for the belief in the work though
