There’s a speck of a boat pricks the horizon;
overhead, the smoky breath of a jet – by now
miles away, and I think of you, yet can’t recall
your face, except, the grey-blue ocean is the colour
of your eyes, and I see them now; at their very core,
the blackest of things silver, I stand – mirrored, at the edge
of a rugged cliff, arms outstretched, as if to take one last breath –
throw reason to the wind, and fly... to wherever that place was you went
and went.

This is such an evocative poem Tina, and those lines:-
I stand - mirrored, at the edge
of a rugged cliff, arms outstretched, as if to take
one last breath -
throw reason to the wind, and fly...to wherever that
place was you went and went.
Both powerful and stirring emotions.
Thankyou for sharing this beauty.
Jenny.

Hi SSS
(Firstly, allow me to apologise for being over-critial about writes I'm captivated by.)
At times, I personally feel/find the mark of a good poem to be more conceptual (within its inspirational value) than that/those of its current physicality. And bluntly speaking, you've an uncut gem here with the potential to light up the poetic sky sts... of which I'm more than keen to see as such.
Your best and freshest I've read here so far...good job.
