Always to see but never to feel,
always to speak but never to hear.
Your presence always brings fierce longing,
yet to not be able to hold you, to kiss you,
to protect you, is everyday torture.
To speak without meaning is to hear without understanding.
Longing, constant longing, drives sleep from mind
but when gifted with blissful hours of darkness, your form still
appears to taunt, to torture, to give fake glimpses of
hope that maybe today will be the day where
the mere sight of your eyes bring again the rush
of blood and longing, constant longing, to hold you, to
kiss you, to protect you from those wishing you harm.
Will today be the day where we shall
kiss like the angels?
Softly, sweetly, the whole world captured
in a solitary momemt, or
hard passionate, hungrily, full of longing,
constant longing to touch more with
only bare skin and succumb to our
human instincts to love, to try and
end that blasted longing, constant longing
that fills us with the need to hold, to kiss,
to protect those we love and in return
be rewarded with a glimpse
of your eyes,
touch of your hand,
or even the blessing of angel kisses,
the only living way to experience heaven

Overall, I liked this. However, I thought the first six lines didn't add much to the poem. Starting with "Longing, constant longing" feels stronger.

Also, I thought your punctuation was really irregular. You have some blocks of lines where the text just runs on and on, comma after comma, with no end in sight, and the whole time, as I read the poem, I was thinking wait when did the last sentence end and the next one begin. See that last sentence? Notice how it's kind of annoying to read? Well, your poem kind of looks like that, so break up your sentences. Please.

There were also a few minor grammar mistakes:

"the mere sight of your eyes brings"

"in a solitary moment, or/ hard, passionate, hungry, full of longing,..."

Aside from that, I thought it was lovely. Good job and keep writing!
