Edge of a Cliff; Looking back!

This is my second poem of the series. If you haven't read the first one please do!! This is called Looking Back because this is what I think is obstructing the motivation to plunge.

She stood on the edge of a cliff

But this time she wasn't facing the gorge, 

Instead her eyes were fixed upon 

A vast stretch of wasteland 

Arid, Thorny, Rocky and Poor. 

The setting sun in the horizon, she could see it clear. 

The plateaue seemed endless and grieved,

She remembered of her journey that has got her there 

Millions of memories brought in few tears. 

As the gentle warm breeze brushed against her face

She could see a faint shadow 

Rising slowly against the thorny meadow. 

She was taken aback, 

She took a step back, 

She knew this person more than anyone. 

Was it him she was trying to run away from?

Fear of him with love within, 

She hated to love him and loved to hate; 

Why was he stood right in front of her 

When she was planning the Escape! 

She hallucinated; of a loving kiss on her forehead,

But the shadow was further than she thought she could associate. 

She stood there thinking, feeling, crying, tearing apart. 

Why now 'You are here' she whispered to herself; 

"I will love you till I die" she could hear this spell 

In the distance between her and the approaching shadow 

Amidst the wild air. 

All this happened, and happened again when; 

She stood at the edge of a cliff.

"Millions of memories brought in few tears." Such a simple image to paint, but struck me as profound. I liked the first one, but this one is "better" in my opinion. Nice job.
All of us find ourselves staring down the edge of a cliff. Trying to escape.
Thank you for writing this.

Thank you again Elizabeth, I love the way you add a little personal thought to your reviews as indicating that you read through the words and feel it yourself.

Thank you :)

[Elizabeth Marie O'neil-Smith]

You're welcome (: And I do, feel the words.

I have read it though you discouraged.
I visualized the escaping girl figure who stood on the edge of a cliff and took a step back.
I enjoyed the whole piece.
Hope to read the first piece soon.

I love the magnificent eloquence of your writings. Your imagry is superb and even though there are no words of description, I can see her with her gown flowing against the wind . . . . Excellent writing does those things and yours are exactly that. I was enchanted with this work.
