Rendering China doll
with stained glass eyes.
Contamination building
made of sinister debris
Classic Aggitaion...
wakes the subserviant echo.
Fracture lines appear
perverting the life within.
Egg yolk yielding,
a smell of crimson mist.
Longing for the butterfly glove
that left its impression in me.
Daises dance around
bringing out poignant behavior.
Reflections of you remain...
contorted for evidence
Staining my eyes...
leaves the doll behind,
kissing the china wall.

Carman


What do ya'll think of this title?

Liked the poem indeed, the title?  It's not quite right somehow, but at present the light isn't illuminated.  Let me think on it..sorry...I'll have to think about it more.

Isis..thanks for the comments.  The title was suppose to be along the lines of "the great wall of china"...and that's where i was trying to change the words a bit.

I'll be thinking of something better also...

Thanks

carman: i doubt i understand all the nuiances of this poem, but i sincerely like it... i like it quite a bit actually... your words paint the picture of the doll quite well... keep up the good work  

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no soul

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

Condemned walls of me,
Condemned building that was me?
There are two ideas for you>  It IS a hard one to name alright!!

Poetry_Kills...You are so kind to always reply.  *smile*  Thank you so much.  As for the meanings...well I think it is safe to say we can take our own meanings from it.  I know exactly what each sentence means when i read it.  

Isis...What about "Inner Doll"...or something like that?  I suppose i need to play on those words there.

WOW this was excellent Carman!  I have a suggestion for the title.  "Aphorism" ok you might have to look that up LOL and I'm not going to tell you LOL
