Stop.
Palms in my face and
palms in my hands,
whispering kisses
and hissing like vipers,
wiping the vapor and hint of
a tear from the
paper.
Holy palmer's kiss?
'tis no Romeo
holding me back
with laced fingers and
butterfly words,
fluttering
to my ears with sly
ministrations,
soothing my consciousness
'til nothing is there.
Medusa is sliding
the pen from my hand,
to fall
clattering
downwards; it meets a tiled
floor,
battering inspiration and
scattering thought.
Palms mock me, enticing,
the pen remains
earthbound,
nestling into paper.
For paper there is
and it litters the tiles
with empty scrawls
of no brilliance
nor
form. I laugh.
I've been here a while.
A while I've
been here and nothing is
born.
Palms breeze like
kites,
and flutter as ribbons in the
breeze of my mind.
I might try
to think and aspire
I might, yet
Palms are holding me
back.
Sleep-deprived eyes squint
and I quail at the
number.
Stop.
And stop I might.
Well how can
I carry on when
you've tempted me
to
slumber?

Interesting.
I especially love the first line and the first stanza.
You have some beautiful imagery throughout, and fantastic description.
I also think that centre alignment suits this poem! and I rarely think that.
