Bad transition from one extreme to another. It would make sense if one was parodying the other, but the tone of the writing - and the stanzas after - suggest that you are being perfectly serious about it. If so, if something is like an avalanche, it does not make sense to describe it as "almost" hurting. Since when is anything "almost" about a gigantic avalanche? The imagery suffers, change it.
Your eyes
Are so intense
Brown and
Focused
I’m dying to know
What’s happening behind them
Cut this entire stanza. Next time, don't talk about eyes alone as if they mean something. And if they do, you must explain or hint at it, because waxing poetic about eyes alone is a surefire sign of a novice poet who can't write.
Your hands
Catch me off guard
They’re beautiful
Strong
Sculpted
Tan
It feels wrong
How much I want
To hold them
In mine
See above. Also, you are presenting yourself as extremely shallow because so far, all you've shown through your words is the physical aspect of this man. This is doing no favors for how the reader sees you currently.
This hurdle
Feels a mile tall
I can’t see
The other side
Confusion
Is my forte
Honey,
I hope you can
Handle it
What...?
What? Since when was there a hurdle or confusion? Changing emotion so steeply from one stanza to another is an indicator of either severe mental instability or an inability to flow the feelings and thoughts into one another so that they create a river, not potholes filled with water and squatting side by side. I'm assuming the latter is the case with you, so talk about this conflicted emotion earlier on in the poem or don't talk about it at all.
Strap in
This ride will
Be
Interesting
A cliched ending, and the flow seems to have been hacked with a butcher knife, the way you separate words by themselves for seemingly no reason.
In general, don't try to save any of this. It's all useless and will not help you create anything better. Start anew and be certain to give more than one dimension to your characters because unfortunately the "man" in this poem comes off as a cardboard outline.
Hope that helped,
