Distance, desire & need

Flickering images on the screen

watching us writhe.

Just our skin between

aching, begging, longing

for your touch.

Gasping my need, reaching

across the glass partition

only to be met by frustration.

Look, but do not touch.

Enjoy the view, no hesitation.

This skin hungers for your caress

and waiting seems far too long.

Patience promises some distant success.

Playing with my inner self

imagining your powerful warmth around

my body, only to be bound myself.

Loving you and wanting you

holding my tongue, screaming for you.

Alone in my bed, alone in my head.

All this pleasure, all this pain.

Is what I feel all in vain?
