Okay yeah I was influenced to try and see what random people thought of my poems so... why not advertise? lol. Here is a poem I wrote, the shortest one really thus far from my "Don't Get Me Started" collection. Tell me what you think of it and helpful criticism appreciated.

Don’t get me started …on your first impression. Your first impression to me is like the mystifying sea. Like the depths of the ocean you are darkly mysterious, beautifully terrifying and largely anonymous. You keep within your waves of hidden emotions creatures of thought some as massive as whales, as cute as seahorses and some even as ferocious as sharks! Beneath the surface of simplicity are the mixtures of random and even humorous tales kept bottled up like old notes pleading for help lost once more within the immeasurable depths of your eyes. The same eyes that promise to release your hidden fury if given the slightest provocation. Yet no one knows what really sets you off but if it does God help us all! The wall of waves that would crash against us and pull at our souls and our beings until we are left in reminiscing debris to soak in the destruction that you’ve left behind. To never, ever, ever! tempt your subtle temper is your only plea and should we be ignorant suffer hold fatal the curse that befalls on us in a terrible disruptive manner comparable to the worst of the worst of sea storms. Yet beneath it all you seem so helpless and I’m forced to surf on the uppy-downy waves of self-destruction and genocidal hate waiting on that sunny day. The sunny day when there is no one in the world who is more beautiful or more friendly or more loving or more caring than you and your arms of hidden strength. And even though you don’t look it I can’t help but get the feeling of warmth in your smile or of undiscovered love in the way you speak. And in the first five seconds of talking to you all these comparisons collapse and coincide busting the seams of my brain with warnings of your danger and precautions of your veiled menace. Yet I can’t help but be captivated by you and as I listen to the song of your waves crashing I let down the garments of my guard and walk towards you ready to bathe in the undeniable crystal beauty of you.


Thnx if you read all the way thru lol

I don't feel like I can accurately critique this until I see it in its correct format. Could you break down the lines?
