Two lone figures stand, embracing, watching the Sea.

The heat of their bodies dispelling the chill.

Between them an eagerness stands, filled with fear.

Turning to him, probing his eyes, she finds love.

Revealed by her own eyes, he sees a yearning.

Together, as one, the decision is made.

As their lips touch, their love springs to it's full bloom.

On a rock, rising above the Sea they lie.

They consummate their love here, for all to see.

The fire met, he lays his head upon her breast.

With his hand upon her silken thighs, she cries.

As tender as a dove, he wipes her tears aside.

In answer to his touch, she faces the Sea.

As one they stand, both feeling their fulfillment.

Two lone figures stand, embracing, watching the Sea.

The night beckons, calling them to it's solace.

Stepping from the rock, their lips touch, their last kiss.

As they kiss, the Sea takes them in it's embrace.

your use of embrace so close together at the end is distracting. It takes away from the end of the poem, perhaps another word would be in use.

I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

"As they kiss, the Sea takes them in it's embrace." This line is perfect as it is. That line gave the poem strength in my eyes.
