The moral must be 'a frustrating inch away from that which we desire may as well be a mile' and for those of us who often suffer from insomnia an inch away from sleep is deeply distressing.

Very nice poem. Well-deserved vote for 'Poem of the day! ''but the inch of stillness so brittle'...Awesome!
An inch away is a good imagination and poetry.
An inch away from being a real poem because of the lack of rhyme scheme. Nice ideas..nice stream of consciousness style. Good vocabulary. Needs a few more little bits of clarity within the inches of perplexity.
I like this piece. It sounds so romantic. You have an imaginative and creative mind. Keep it up!
Emotions are what guide us through lifes journey... The ability to capture them for all eternity in the form of the written word is truly an art... Congratulations... I love your poem...

fascinating wonderful amazing i just love it lot of emotions; i love your ideas
Very fascinating. I love how you've captured the barest escape with the repeated reminder of a mere inch and inching away. Delightful. Intriguing as well....seemingly referring to forbidden pleasures. I enjoyed how you depicted it all so cleverly with just an 'inch'....Excellent!
This poem is very good! I love the way you used simple words but brought out so much emotions through them... keep on writing you are very talented! ! !
words as long as an inch can travel miles and touch someone's heart beyond the soil one steps on... beautiful gift you've made us... thanks
