I write a lot of poetry that could be labeled surreal and stitched together with word associations. It's a good way
to break the logic up into a pastiche of images and meta-suggestions, by which I mean peripheral hints that
jump to more mental associations. Your poem almost works for me, there are many highlights where the
word-music flips into word-paintings. Some weak word choices, especially in the last third of the work.
Have made some observations below-

Well done!

It is kinda sexy and the style is inspired by a band that I like. Maybe sometime I'll set it to music.......................the theme seems to get a bit lost in these lines, but I think you are pointing to a good night and a fulfilled morning
Mossy forests
Fondle soft
Feathered chorists
Secret loft.......................lovely sounds and full of pillow images.
Sylvan bed-tents
Dreamt dances
Unveiled consents
Real-life trances............you mentioned the sexiness, and this section is gently erotic.
Hear a whisper
Oak awnings
Lifting drifter
"Fly attendings."..............I do think that these lines are weak and less convincing
Blush hover
Sopping idle
"Come my lover."
Drenched tidal...................lovely aqueous imagery for love-making
Bay appointed
Firm steady
Dye anointed
Yield heady
Gentle impress
Echo relish
Weld obsess
Revel plenish
Whorl ascent......................the word choice feels un-precise
Solar rising.........................maybe another way to paint a dawn image
Wellness advent
Closure prizing.

Well done!
