You woke me.
two in the morning
you called to see
if the shiny armor
lasting - till morn
or will it be three
you bring meanings
so oblivious now
I caught a glimpse
your wondering how
ominous torture
teetering
known as 101
but your not sure
I please you
but – you still
look for those butterflies
with no angles
known,
direction owed
and delirium paid for
you make me laugh
for I’m not your might
your haunting so
colored with grim
will not last
you see, for
you are the past.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

poe, have my own thoughts on this write, (which I am keeping to this demented mind
of mine, until you elaborate for me)
but sounds like you pretty much have the upper hand
xxoo

Yes, a very interesting write.  My only criticism is that the lack of grammar wasn't to your benefit.  I'd input a few commas and periods so as not to confuse the reader what you're actually trying to say.
BTW, the 'shiny armor' wasn't developed too well.  Try to make it an extended metaphor, or make its meaning more obvious.

Click, thanks again. I know what you mean.

littlewing, past fears? Thanks again.

something, I really appreciate your advice. The only problem is. I was a science major. Grammer has never been my forte. If you have the time? copy and paste the poem onto my e-mail address waynedenio@aol.com along w/your changes. I would really appreciate some help with the correct set-up. Thanks.

Thanks all of you for taking the time to read and comment!

great write poe

personally, i think you don't need to 'develop' the shiny armor aspect any more.  you implanted it into the readers head once, then it is up to the readers to decide what it means to them.  great poetry does not explain things, but instead infers a hundred different meanings. so in short, great write, leave it like it is.

ahh gotcha and yes Matt is right
what we perceive is for us to see
what you write is for you
