on seeing you

On seeing you but not being able to touch you

Winds of emotion stir, restless,
awaken the senses, sharp and bright,
drinking in greedily, heavily
what is necessity,
what is longing to touch,
but forbidden to have.
Emotions like restless autumn leaves
blowing in a box, confined and restrained.
Emotions on a screen,
tender but static
left wanting.
Living through voices, images.
Living on sight alone is nothing
when the hand cannot touch what the eye sees.
