I really like your command of language in your work...they have a really strong wide vocabulary :) hehe i sound like an english teacher...
i also really like the use of parenthesis...it moved me in and out of the piece
and i also like hwo u ended it...it goes from harsh to soft really really quickly

the ending is brilliant, like there is a flaring hope of comprehension available if only...
and you said "when our lips touch" - not if. so it's definitive. unescapable.
and also, the way you likened desires to the essence on a monster rather than the commoner way of putting it, the essence of a monster - that was a subtle twist that i really like

heh heh... I wonder how many of us have written poems with carl jung in mind?... I like this, thinking you're stronger than you actually are, bringing yourself down...

I didn't really get the impression this was something written eith a lover in mind until the last line. I like the comparision of the longing for the animus to that of the longing for one's own shadow; the latter to me is a dark kind of longing, solitary, maybe unstable, and to compare it to longing for the animus says a lot about the animus. Again, I enjoyed your punctuation. The last two lines are brilliant. A thought he dared to think after erecting all those walls and running from the object of his desire so long, like some tentative kind of defeat.
