Cliff Walker
By: Fee
He strolled the cliffs above the cove
Seeking the ghost of his lover past
Haunting spirit dancing in mist and fog
Like some Devil’s midnight drama cast
Like every night he comes again
To where she didn’t say goodbye
And tonight like nights gone by
He still asks God to answer why
He squints his eyes and wipes his brow
By the very spot she fell from grace
Relights the tobacco in his briar pipe
Wonders if tonight he’ll take her place
The fog rolls out and the stars spotlight
The flagstone path towards the beach
Then on the path out of the fading mist
A woman smiles just out of reach
She beckons him and he can’t refuse
Their lips and hearts as one collide
The widow neighbour down the road
Asks him would he like to take a ride
The fog and cliffs and seashore rolls
As he takes her hand learning love again
Oh life supplies sometimes the answers
To love’s recurring pain…
I love the imagery here. The fog seems to enhance the lonely feel throughout most of your poem. An excellent twist of fate leaves a smile on the reader's face. Beautiful~

Your Poem Expressed Love's Undieng Passion & Needs. Love is in many places even in a memory, but being held in the end is beautiful.
