I really adore this as a visual literature piece. The storm in the background (even if in the making at this point) is a beautiful way to reference the storms going on in the piece--not only physical, actual storms, but also the emotional storms I can sense lurking on the horizons of someone else's heart.
I do agree, however, that the lightning flash made your words a bit more difficult to read and decipher. However, I feel that you could keep the white/black aspect by changing those few letters/words to black text when going across the white of the background.

The poem, in itself, is also wonderful. It reminds me of a series of pieces I have in regards to one of my characters. I can imagine that this might be echoing a "garden" of your own...the hovering, protective soul attempting to keep the blossoms (worked so hard for in the beginning of the romance) to remain standing upright and strong. I also adore the fact that this is a rhyming piece...it seems to fit PERFECTLY with the idea of a storm raging in the background, as if the thunder and the lightning are helping to accent the meter of the piece. Great work!

I really like this poem--it has strong, vivid words that you feel emotion to!

YAY visual poetry. (although if the image isn't yours, you've gotta give credit somewhere. and if you just took it off google [as opposed to a stock photo site which is meant for that sort of thing], that's a copyright no-no.)
love the title font, although the rest of it could have benefited from a black stroke to make it more legible.
wrote something a lot like this once, back in 10th grade...love the idea of breaths "feeling numbered."

Er-- Okay, my bad. I'll start crediting from next time, or mentioning google or photobucket. My photo editor sucks, I have to learn adobe. Thanks for your comments.

xD no problem.
most of the time it's just a good plan to use stock photo sites and skip google altogether. (turning on the graphic-design-major devil's advocate again.) google image search finds almost everything that's been posted on the web, and just because you can find it on an image search doesn't mean you're allowed to use it. an artist automatically owns whatever he/she posts to the web (hence why if anyone took your writing off this site it'd be illegal), and some of them get annoyed really easily. free stock photo sites or providers (there's a lot on dA!) are just safer.
adobe photoshop can be scary at first, but if you poke around it enough, it'll start to make sense. (I teach Photoshop over the summer at a local school, so if you have any questions, drop me a note!)

just downloaded a trial of CS4 and it's making me want to bang my head on the desk...oh computers, why must you be so temperamental? xD
I'll figure it out eventually, but sometimes it feels like these things were designed to frustrate us skill-impaired mortals.

It's very easy, once you get past the dizziness. I think I'll keep track of you, so I can bother you for help.

I REALLY like this, a LOT
And it does have a meaning, I would say, that this seems quite obviously to be a poem about love, the lightening being everything to try to put you down, but when the other came,
he (its easier to say he than the other) made the suffering easier,
he made it seem as though the storm was nothing but a light drizzle,
He made everything better.
