Shivering handshakes
blush in pale pink
..that rosy little dress
mother presented her dying daughter.
She reminds every soul to question
alcoholic outbursts
driven by old songs played
in the broken green sedan.
Did'nt you hear?
She threw her spirit to numb
in skygazers pattern
like rough villians
decided that mutiny of peace
should be awarded for last solace.
Still,she lies in muslin silk
a dampened sentiment
being showed off in stains
and severe remains of hunger.
Everyday she solemnly promises
to handle goodness
in Hitlers passion.
Every starving energy
mutiliates its womb
ravaging from one thread
to enter the hole of the needle
without ashened hands.
The last brandished whiskey
trickles unfaithfully
~cavaderous~
she consolidates mind sets
in severe abandonments.
As she walks to church
she indulges herself
into faith
that all headaches
which come
will go away
......someday.

I can relate to this one some what... you see I have suffered from headaches all my life. They are not fun and do affect everything you do in life... when you don't feel good... you don't want to do the fun things let alone the things that need to be done... good write.

'Did'nt you hear?'
...the apostrophe is in the wrong place of Didn't
Apart from that this is good. Thanks for entering x -

lol!! OK!

The final stanza is brilliant in word choice and the thoughts and images the spawn in my mind with a hopeful release. Perhaps the apostrophe in the ninth line should be corrected. Good luck in the contest
