Welcome to the Pen. Kudos to you for following the rules and actually providing a critique before posting. I enjoyed the first two stanza very much, very original IMO. That's not to say the rest isn't good just not as for me. The turn gets a little obscure, meaning there is some abruptness of the new 'you', which I don't mind but then nothing that clarifies. My take is this a nice masturbation poem, with a partner

Well that's all I got for now.
Take care,
Bryn
