the eyes' treasure...
tepid and timid, thieving forlorn glimpses,
how can they be anything but venomous;
to the bold wind caressing your hair.
blinded that they are, these distant oculars,
blinded with the sight of your beauty;
my eyes are now sinners.
to spite others who behold your beauty,
is the sin they'd gladly surrender to;
finding salvation in each glimpse won,
now forever theirs to treasure.

A good attempt at narrative poetry however perhaps you need to look at building up on imagery and inversion of word order etc.
Well it is just Ahab and Pequod but what about the others you have brushed them aside.
Perhaps the emotionality that hit you when reading the text is there but it does not hit the reader --- guess you could re write the poem or write a new version of it ---- Keep writing.
