What do you think of this poem?

Can someone please help me improve on this? It's called Sapna, meaning Dream in Hindi

Creak, the tiresome timber bar,

Moans as my feet scrape across,

I haul myself from distance afar,

It's throws, long and sorrowful,

I tremor in the gaze of shame,

A nail protrudes and rips,

As I am tricked by the atlas of solitude,

Jagging into supple flesh,

Showing nothing of the magnitude,

Yet, a mere echo of my heart,

Determination my sole companion,

For a voyage of the heart,

This meandering, a spillage of the spirit,

The rope of connection, tattered apart,

I long for the sheath of your protection

Refuge from the blistering wind amiss,

Dominated by the desire, respite from your absence,

Natures whip lashes, exposure is furious,

For unspeakable actions, a lover's blasphemy,

Our souls entwined once more

    It has potential. However, I feel that you are attempting to present too many thoughts in each stanza.

    One suggestion would be to move the last line of each stanza into a separate stanza at the end of the poem. That last line seems to be disjointed from the thoughts presented in the other lines.

    The last stanza could be:

    I tremor in the gaze of shame.

    Yet, a mere echo of my heart,

    I long for the sheath of your protection.

    Our souls entwined once more.
