This has the feeling of being rather jumbled.  I much enjoyed the style of writing that you've used in this piece... the repetition and constancy of emotion is absolutely raw and striking... your use of parenthesis within brackets really sets apart the thought within the thoughts... makes the flow unusual.  

I really enjoyed reading this.  Good work.

yes yes, i agree with brian, it did have the feeling of being jumbled. and i loved that. your emotions dont come all together (1,2,3) they flood you. and you portrayed that well. great write dear. hope everything is ok too. *hug*

Well. I too found this a bit garbled. It seems rather unique and emotional; but I'm afraid peices of it just sailed over my head.

Explanation?

if you explain poetry, it ruins it.

since when?

when you explain your work, you're simply sharing what you see, how you feel with other people.  you're opening their eyes to your world, and helping them explore your words even further.

explaining doesn't ruin a thing.

and on that topic, i'm wondering of the significance of the periods at both the end and the beginning of this piece.  as well as the double parenthesis and the double brackets at [once again] both the beginning and end of your poem.

this really would benefit frome explination.

I thought the poem was pretty ok, cept for the jumbled piece in the middle. I didn't understand the purpose for that.
Anyhow, well done.

Ew. I'm feelin' this one. You've said it all well...maybe I understand exactly how well because I've been there. Keep writing.
