Comments : Vision Of Him

    I can really feel the emotion dripping through each line of this piece, Mery.
    "Staring along to the wilderness"
    ---I suggest you eradicate 'to', it's unnecessary. 'Along' is an adverb for a line close to the subject (in this case, the wilderness), this would be better used for something with a parallel course, a pathway for example. My suggestion: change wilderness to pathway, or use a different adverb instead of along.
    "Nothing to see but his face"
    ---hmm.. there are a lot of things to see in the wilderness; wild animals, trees etc. I suggest you change this line to: "I see nothing but his face" because the average person would see the physical aspects of the wilderness, while in this piece, the persona is the only one who sees 'his' face.
    "I close my eyes...
    attempt to vanish him in my sight"
    ---I like the ellipsis here, well-placed. Allowing the reader to make a perfunctory pause. But change 'attempt' to attempting, to connect that line to the former, with the present tense.
    "but my mind shouting to stop"
    ---shouting, perhaps change it to shouted. "This heart of mine yelling for his love..."
    ---I always took yelling as a verb indicating anger, in this piece, it's more of frustration, possibly? Frustration and longing.
    Great write

    This so emotional I agree with Xanthe in everything she said
    like
    "Staring along to the wilderness
    Nothing to see but his face
    Engraved to the lenses of my eyes
    The ravishing image of this guy..."

    u can remove 'along' and make 'to'-->'at'
    or u can remove to and change 'wilderness'
    well i like the 2nd line like even tho wilderness
    have many things to see but u still see only his face, still agree with Xanthe about the change in this line

    "I close my eyes...
    attempt to vanish him in my sight
    but my mind shouting to stop
    This heart of mine yelling for his love... "

    2nd line 'attempt'-->'attempting'

    last 2 lines add 'is' be4 the 'shouting' and 'yelling'
    i loved the imagery here also the usage of words good write
    keep writing =)
