I really like this, Mr. Woodall, except the very last line. I think it flows beautifully, and is very leading, commanding the reader in a 'follow me' fashion - to someplace that promises to be stupendously sublime. I think the last line let me down though. I would work on it a bit. See if you can regain the 'flow' while still maintaining the 'punch.' Nice work. Very near perfection, IMO.
Wow! Chris! This is, IMO, superb! It's sharper...more biting....I feel as if I've seen into the farthest reaches of your mind, and dare I say, I blushed at the raw nakedness that this poem imparts. Should a reader 'know' this much about a writer he/she has never met? Very, very effective.
