sandspike, this is breathtakingly tender and so romantic!! I just love it, really good work, thank you :)
I love it when a man speaks this way. Strong, loving pride. I envy her. Nice work.
I wish you had followed your sea voyage metaphor more persistently throughout this poem.
It is very good where you have, but seems weaker in the final three stanzas where you digress until the last line.
You have some eye catchers like:
?against a skeletal frame
breasts seem to float
roll in a beam sea?
An enjoyable read.
