De profundis (final)
#20
Darling boy, whose lips are like summer
Sangiovese, the dawn light tangles - You have accomplished a surprise in the line break, but not a distinct line as well... (fixed)
in your hair, like in a wood
intense, profound.

In dreams, the sun of Napoli - Sounds amazing
lights up the sea. On a boat, some boys. - This line is problematic; the sentence break is clunky. (Read it aloud.) 
Red, malachite, and gold the day. - Nice
Their heads are haloed, golden hay - Nice
their wind swept locks. - I feel like I've read this 20 times before, maybe "wind kept locks"

They leap into a tidy sea, 
and I sink deep into the depths - The rest works and well
