New poetry for critique

[sparetime]

Hello, just started experimenting with poetry and here are a couple things I came up with. I would really appreciate any sort of feedback/critique you can offer. Thank you!

Love Unspoken

I'm a father and a husband;
She is a mother and a wife;
Insurmountable boundaries,
Capable in another life.

For it's Their chaste and innocence
That I let these feelings alone,
And carry on throughout the days
Concealing this love to my own.



The Affair

Slap, slap, slap; she's always chatting,
Maybe to the gulls up above.
Winds being friendly to us both,
I toss the lines and give a shove.

Fix the sheets and adjust the tack,
She does the rest as I sit back.
Waves crashing off the bow,
I'm sailing now!

not bad,

short and to the point

somethings are unspoken
while others need to be yelled out

the affair,
sometimes we need to
see other things in life
to be able to breathe

poetry is a device, keep
writing, would like to read more

peace
