Obviously you have a reason to write this poem. In that, you've got a story or idea for your poem to tell. But what is it?
Putting aside the syntax, you have a list of (sometimes) complex words.
It's like a cake without cream. Yes, you have some nice sounding words, but it's not complete. You need the reader to understand what you're trying to tell for them to understand what you already have written.
My advice would be to turn all of your words into standing sentences, see what works and what doesn't and add some meaning.
