Potentially brilliant! Potentially magnificent! The idea I think which is here is marvelous and your simple structure is genius within the work here, making something seemingly simple magnificent!

I do want to state there is a small problem with this work. No to degrade you or insult you but only to perhaps help you understand the mind of the reader. There is no mention of what is going on "as". "as" comes typically in the language like this.

I was smoking a cigarette
as the world turned
as my heart yearned
as my love lay dying.

or it is used...

as the world turned
as my heart yearned
as my love lay dying
the world continued on.

Here you just have a bunch of "as" and no starting point or no conclusion to all of this "as". While I am sure this was intentional, for a reader it gives no message.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I enjoyed the poem.

BRAVO!

Keep up the fantastic work.
