Hi softlyfalling
Your poetry has a tendency to obscurity which for this reader is frustrating and intriguing all at once. Call me uncouth if you please, but I've always had a hard time with "classical" poetry, opting for more prose-like styles (which you've probably noticed from my writing). Anyway back to this piece, I can really connect to it, see myself in it--I'm still mildly afraid of the dark, and as a child/teenager all sorts of dark things would pop from the dark into my mind. I have nothing to say critique-wise other than thanks for sharing this, and I'm sure I'll be reading it over and over.
