Would love to share a poem

I'm new and felt like sharing this smoke inspired poem, even though its not yet finished.
Ode to Dionysus.
Yearning seaward, with a tidal surge in my belly
washing a shock of waters to my heart;
I float down on feelings within, til on a shelly
beach I walk. Yes, I dream and will depart
even more from this lamp lit kitchen of empty
peace, voiceless form and the flight
of evening flies awakening in the light.
There, between two slabs of rock rising high,
a channel of profound water crashes and
tempts. My soul craves for more than these tears I try
to squeeze from mundanity, eyes of sand,
scoured with the dust of roads straight and dry.
Oh for salt and fresh! Wet disorder, deeps
unknown, the murmur of secrets Poseidon keeps.
Oft-recurring, this longing comes to eat at my
table, as night devours the sunlit way
of order and resolve. And I desire to fly
with the herb of dreams, Morpheus’ child, away
to oceanic lunacy where feelings foam, rules die
and mystical meaning is woven in the sensual storm.
In aquatic half-light I play with dolphin form.
