Letters from a drunken sailor

Exerpts from different letters to make one big letter?

So much to see
That cannot be seen

Tales of sirens,luring
They've been bringing ruin to those
Foolish enough to listen
Yet I know I'm one

Heaving sails, toiling away

Smashing bottles being all drunk
Regret washes over me
In ale smelling waves

Has our son been born yet?
Oh reason I deserted you
Must have your green eyes
Like you stole a mermaids scale

There went my life
Now I'm thinking I'm to young for this
How can I raise one, leaving him I your hands

Docked today a a port

Found a wild orchid with petals
Almost fully unfurled like your smile
Lifted my sport but not enough

I've preserved it of I gethome it's yours
Whatever you can salvage

Life here has turned my heart bitter
Crushed like a flower

Everyday I'm slowly becoming
A man with no heart
Turning metallic as I go

I can only hope to leave soon

Another man fell off today
Nothing funny about a sailor dying
Wiping away our marble tears

We smile and swear
But I need a wishing well

If I come home
I hope you can accept me
And maybe turn back into
The man you fell inlove with

Yet these are only letters from a drunken sailor

I like the concept of this poem. Being far away and lonely create emotions and desire for things lost.
"We smile and swear
But I need a wishing well "
Sometime time make dreams fade away. All we have is wishes and hope. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
