Flowershine dots

-------------------------------------------

In a narrow lit base of junkshop diamonds
We are lounge singers living off desperation’s tips.

Painting portraits of disjointed families
inside these liquor lock tombs
A sequel of sorts, to my biopic
Cradling, items of wounds.

And in my medicine mind drawer
Sins do Claw
However, the ghouls that float
Hold so I don't see my flaws

The size of a finger palm foreigner
The pulsing of nonlinear thoughts
Unraveling
Exposed
This Head against the linoleum floor.

Then
BlackBirds scatter
And
Church bells chime.
True sunday world light - she’s a tinge of failure
in
my
bite

High above the steps my eyes flicker upward
Hidding on a hill, her eyes flicker downward
Beaming
glourious,
a religious feel

Moving my prize forward
cutting waist water scars
Of drunken cash paying fools
Proped up and winning
She’s my dying,
flowershine girl.

  This has nice imagery, but you need to work on your punctuation and spelling.

In a narrow lit base, of junkshop diamonds
We are lounge singers, living off, desperation’s tips.

You don't need the comma in the first line. You don't need to set "living off" apart with commas. I'd prefer you said "living off of desperation's tips."

Painting portraits of disjointed families,
inside these liquor lock tombs
A sequel of sorts, to my biopic
Cradling, items of wounds.

Again, this is oddly punctuated. I don't see the need for the comma after families, but if you feel that "inside these liquor lock tombs" is an appositive, you need a comma after tombs or you could end the sentence there.

I think you mean nonlinear thoughts (not "non liner thoughts").

Then
BlackBirds scatter.
And
Church bells chime.
Tru sunday world light, she’s a tinge of failure in my bite

I think you mean "Through Sunday-world light." I think I'd hyphenate a lot of the two-word coinages like that in the poem.

I think I'd just omit the majority of the punctuation in this (Get rid of commas, periods, and basically anything except apostrophes, hyphens, and the like because it's acceptable to do so, and your odd punctuation throws off any semblance of flow in this).

  I liked the imagery you have painted :)

"The size of a finger palm foreigner
The pulsing of non liner thoughts
Unraveling
Exposed
This Head against the linoleum floor."..this is well-written. It transforms the reader to another world.

  This piece is 1 of your's that reminds me of the city. You paint such a powerful picture and always you enable the reader to be transported. You very much remind me of Pink Floyd lyrics sometimes.
Thank you for the early-morning read. Love,Peace,Joy!

  Yo Childs, this probably is a great piece. I loved and did not like it all at once, which means it did what poems are in part suppose to do. I had to re-read it a few times, that is one of my dislikes. I love a poem fully when you do not have to guess or interpret the meaning. But I truly loved some of your expressions like; "Painting portraits of disjointed families, inside these liquor lock tombs" Overall this is a good write and certainly provoking.

  this is one of those poems where you have to read it a few times to really understand the deeper meaning, and when you have to do that you know its a really great poem. unless there is no meaning...this really struck something within me, i really enjoyed it. it was beautiful and i loved the wording you used. it would be a great song, im putting this in my favs.

  Maybe I'm off today but I wasn't quite sure how to take this...it seemed pretty jumbled to me with confusing imagery. Didn't really care for it.
