Popularity, News: UPDATED

I made a photomanip today, it is within the top two pages of "Popular 8 hours"
                                         
right now, and it has been on DA for about 4 hrs 40 minutes at this time. I am really excited about this, not only it's popularity, but also the piece its self. It is a deeper reaching image than most of mine, and has a lengthly description- a sort of poem. Here is the piece, if you wish to read the description, click on it.
                                         

The poem/story that goes with it can be found on Youtube Here www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F3gda… where I read it aloud. Please view it and tell me what you think.
It is a piece, reflecting the innocence of my childhood before it was torn to pieces.

UPDATE: This piece, Sweet dreams, has got a lot of response in varying ways. I would like to featured :iconslurpeesandcigarettes: who wrote two poems based off of inspiration from Sweet Dreams.

                      Sweet Dreams I: Migration of MemorySweet Dreams I: Migration of Memory
Mother-bird leading ghosted migration of doppleganger sun/ elevated perspective of silhouetted flight/ (tucked under eyelash appendage)/ towards vanishing point of archived mist/ rain garden filtered ethereal lens/ (from here we can see the flooded gates of uninterrupted dawnscape)//
Porous light-beam balking sighted seams/ feeble layering of eclipsed optics/ twin-sighted cast-shadow frame/ (that night we both saw the continuity of threaded wave lingering on receding tide)/ you, in stasis amongst specters of transience/ involuntary sea-quakes through feathered socket/ shifting tectonic cartilage of rib bone lagoons/ (you closed quivering eyes and saw the void of a million night skies)// Sweet Dreams II: Gatekeeper of Nested NightSweet Dreams II: Gatekeeper of Nested Night
We pulled down mascara night/ (wrapped in quilted obsidian bark)/ the paralyzing agents of blinking eyelids/ walled in parameters of asynchronous flight/ (I scratched thrice the openings of our gated dreams)/ as darkness drew static-silence out of pedal organ chest/ pulsing passing northeastern gusty wind/ leaves of celestial eruption/ crystallized components of dwelling/ transplants of a seaborn sight//
Counterrotating visual dreamscape/ rendering untold aperture of peripheral glimpse/ stimulus of orphaned seed/ spectacle of mirrored hand/ (undreaming stillness within the bounds of a nodding sonnet)/ the hibernating ensemble of splintered longings/ (what more can we seek in the midst of storming labyrinths?)//

It is my second work to get popular this fast, the other being a similar piece, "My Nightmare"
                                         

Which got to the top page of the 8 hours most popular when it was first submitted.
Another recently popular piece of mine is "Thirsting"
                                              

I find it interesting that most of my popular pieces are quite dark. This may be due to the fact that most of my work is dark, but I notice that the dark ones catch on quicker. But to contrast all that darkness, another piece that was received well is my piece "Joyous"
                                         
I like that one of my happier pieces is well liked, and I wanted to try something new.

                                  Just a few random others of my work:
