From the view of a 16 year old, rock on. In the view of a cynical intellectualist the spirit your poems give off are what I look for when I read. The 'real' side to human existence, not some pansy way of skipping around what we are.

"As near and far as grass,
Where eyes become the sunlight, and the hand
Is worthy of water: the dreamt land
Toward which all hungers leap, all pleasures pass." |

"—the main jet
Struggling aloft unti it seems at rest
In the act of rising, until
The very wish of water is reversed," |
