I've not wrote for a few months, I had block. Situation: I was bored out of my mind yesterday with the Gastric flu so I decided to write some poetry. Nothing personal, just some brainstorming resulted in what you see below. Not my best work, but I'd be happy with suggestions. Punctuation is crap I know.





NO TITLE.



White chrome, drowning in red

My blood, only mine.

I fell

I hit my head

All my fault 

I pray he won't do this again

I hope my scars heal

A copper key scratches in the lock

What a homecoming..?









DOLL



My child

Opaque skin, faultless, a doll.

All mothers say this.

Your sleeping so soundly

Since that October afternoon, I've had insomnia, I've wandered streets, back to that place.

I scour for memories, details I've forgotten

But I've forgotten nothing.

Caressing your hair, dark as pitch.

Lifting a lock I expose the mark.

When my life ended.

The only mark on you

They said you were thrown clear 

Kissing you softly I say good night 

I leave you in your coffin

Sleeping forever more.

I liked them both. I wasn't sure about the ...? at the end of the first poem, though, it confused me a little. Also, the long line in the second poem looks out of place, those things niggle at me, but when I read it, it sounds right, like it should be one long line. Anyway, nice work.
