The Orange Blanket
L T Winter Jul 2015
I remember her
--Pale skin
wearing a blanket
-Of leaves.

As the umbrella
That stabbed
Our souls-slowly
Closes--

Lingers on your heart.

And we both know
Hanging heavy
-Valentines doesn't
Pull you back.

-From

Cold-water graves,
Sailing into dreams.

Glass Golem
L T Winter Jan 2015
I am a golem
Made of black
Glass.

I'm absorbing
Colours
And there's no thank-you-
From me--


There never will be.

As I'm civil speaking
With no words
Or tongue.

To be just fracturing slightly,
Speaking without speaking.

Finding Gravity
L T Winter Jan 2015
Upon Seizing what we think the floor could be, our feet curl up inside discovering that there is no floor in which feet may ground themselves to. Black-holes and roses can be similar things.

Skin-Butterflies
L T Winter Jul 2015
I kissed ancestor
Stones beneath
Her bones,

And trees burn
The blood she
Had-- with

Beauty-

We were both invisible
Butterflies spreading
Skin.

In winks and windows
Through whimpers
Wind--blowing
Thin.

Wooden Bread

Bred from bread-makers
Lungs a smell
So cosy to a wolf bleeding
Natures wood.

Crippled
L T Winter Sep 2016
Lost--
Pieces of me
I let dewindle and stay.
This invisble war
Was love-
Fall
       -ing

Into lon-li-ness.

I've been circle sawing
Idle thoughts
--Prozac tents,
Disregarding her while
Crawling caterpillars are my skin,
I begin to drift algrid monotones.

With lead volcanoes
Weighing majestic suffering

To broken keys and hanging fingers.
L T Winter Jan 2015
With felt-tip paws I weep at sleeping oceans and try to beckon misery because I know it's hiding here.

Blank Blood
L T Winter Apr 2015
As I walk
On tip-toeing curbs
All their faces are blank.
They are us-- but our feet are
Mangled, bleeding serenity.
To those with hands too large for lifting.

Mon Coeur
L T Winter Sep 2014
Asking lillies that sway without-moving--
Airless lungs and neurons- to reflect
Fantasia wallpaper flowers for moonlit clouds
Cutting goosebumps with migraine plaits--
Inbetween aging turn signals into tinsel shapes.

Behind my eyes- I see us graying with feathers
I explain why the raven-- is wearing his skin,
But the beginning doesn't understand you
Waiting
In ambrosia fledglings making magnolia petals
On-a-drift-of-your hair a-windy-melody processes
Ocean life; death.

We adapt-shaking my rainbow shelter with patient feelings-
Of nowadays; the ice is cruel not absent tears loving--
Briefly on leaves, in music; with spores and lavender hands
Because our time is breathing upon each others lips.

That he forgot to notice.

As her heart bled free
From his hands.

The Berth Of Abysm
L T Winter Jun 2017
Cotton aromas,
Become a cloister
That shifts into
Lavender conundrums--
And the field you see
'Winces'
As it caters-to-corpses
All lumpy; fractured
With reds so dry
From hues of 'once been' and ' Never hads'

I'd been beyond an abyss; darker
Than demons piled up
'Peeping'
Senseless death.
As the chronosphere
Parades.
I see treacle as bones
And razors for
Bandages.

I grew tasteless here
Where cutting couldn't
Help-
Dandelion daisy chain odours
Leave my veins-
And somehow they'd stolen moments

--Moments I never even knew I'd lost.

Downcast Screeching
L T Winter Aug 2017
A melody so
Beau-ti-ful-ly broken
It's- ghostly
To ears-
And the
Bone frore; psoriasis skin
Screaming vociferous
With claret shot
Token festered eyes
Could speak

Glacial strokes to
An empty
Mere,
Growing epicormic buds
For fresh-er-than-threshing
Squabbles.

Shadows speak
And evanesce,
When the blood
I made shivering
Seeps warmth; to tears.
I call for Help--

                        Guidance-

                                             Aid

It echoes and
I forget--
Why I came here.
While the big-ness of things and feelings
Are gone again.

Blackhole Hollow
L T Winter Nov 2015
My phantom hand
Reaps coldness
And sows the seed
With a nightmare's wish.

As blisters grow on
These lips I find
Insomniac groans-
For everyone.

I'm alone--

Always.

My Ryeglass
L T Winter Sep 2016
It's--
A ryeglass with-
Bi-frost lenses,
Yet sight rusts
The memories.

We shiver as
Only-a-fragment
Is heard in colour.

And to peek-
Shelters
Time-travel.


This gestation of
-Mono carbonic
Feelings--

'Irrational'

When all we have is,
Waiting-
I dry wash my heart

In stained glass teeth.

To
Feel-
Less.

Wirring Pandemonium
L T Winter Aug 2016
The wirs; whistle
Prestigace melancholy
To their voices,

Merely whispers now.
An aftermath of discord
This epoch of anarchy
I never share these
Demons with them

But your baffling now
Waiting--
Your mind is muddled
Melding the wrong words to connections
I never made.

The disarray, in time
Becomes albany.

Epitaph Of My Heart
L T Winter Aug 2016
Op-en-ings sting but
Mangling fingers
Play guitar in silence
Plucking skin as if--
Love were the song
Although- this sound
Is too familiar to hear.

And we can't touch
The lyrics that were made,
Because it's to quiet
For fingers long bled.

First threads left-
Us
'Lovelocked'
In alfalfa flays.

I still sob
Sometimes-
For the nights we've missed.

L T Winter Aug 2016
The word for dying
Seeps in-and-out of exsistence
But these poems can never be long
Enough to express.

Feelings.

This pavement is mine
Made of sharpened glass
But I forgot my shoes today.

Pause-

Moments long-passed, my feet are broken now although your reading on. I weep help;quietly as my hands begin to bleed thoughts with you,

Strangers--

You're blank pages seeking commerce and familiarity with someone else in anonymity. We're just passing fiction in sadness missing all the

Important

Things.
Because I let fear win.

It's her soul
That's broken
We mist it.

Failing to save her.
He fell frustrated,
Trying to strangle callouses
On his hands.

Until moonflowers shone
The brightest black.

Life Blaze's
L T Winter Sep 2014
We creak in path-bellows
Shadows merrily singing
Away with daydream fellows.
Our tower began to bleed
Fires ringing--
Tomorrow, help and plead

To stray slightly afar
Feet stray, although trees
Could never panic
They become black stencils
Forests tend to heal in age.
Check skin tissue on a
Trail of scars
Where once was life.

Kisses From Sadness

Me goodnight

And I led myself here
By following the footprints
Of trees.

Incomplete
L T Winter Mar 2017
We're trouble
You--and-I
She spoke loudly, As the plants watched her cry.

It was leather bound-borderless
-Transcriptions, I told you secretly.

As ataxia spread to bones,
Belonging-
To reflections of invisible limbs.

Goosebumps spoke blasphemy
And nobody knows,
Why--

So we paused; inadvertently denying
Each other's breath-
In this dogma of dreams

Bred tectonic tidal locks
In all imaginings.
Feels like the title suggests.

Crestfallen Loner
L T Winter May 2017
Dinosaur skin
Wielding--
Soft aches
For butterfly
Chantries

And helium breathes
The nerves I break

But only for a

'Single'

Second
                                            (It was lonely here)

As I became nullified numb
I realised, each lung was lined
With sorrow-

And I'd been waiting for the-

Death it brings.

Bones kissing
Flesh weave sunlight
Into steamless streams,
Of noone and nothing.

Your hands freeze
The distance of us-
To my chest

--And I-refuse to open
Spring's flowers
For fear of missing you-



Glass whispers escape...

Thoughts Of Mediocre Living
L T Winter Nov 2016
I've been existing,
Co-existing
And non-existing.

Theres a smell of blood I get when eating pieces of myself.
Savouring them for later.
Unable to begin or end I cannot stay or leave as always-

Intended because my skin crawls abnormally.
Though anti-gravity possesed each piece in essence
Theres a sickness in that I do agree.

But benevolence is seldomn here
Anymore, and sanity is long bereaved
I am merely stone holding onto fragments of thinner things.

Breathing phosphate, I apologise for the wings
That were sewn together out of spite.
I've cracked legs to be here.
Listening to those sounds that connect my emotions to my understanding became relief becomes...
More angry than you know, like a whisper in the snow
I drift--

Soul Sepulchre
L T Winter Jul 2017
It's the thinking that hurts,
The cavity of x and y
Which drapes proclivity
In the way
My words work,
Almost Bro-
                  ken.

Slightly when spoken
From dorsum,
I welcome you
To the Stitches
Of other halves-

The part I dampen
More than antediluvian revoke
And- Anamnesis wrinkles,
Spitting essentia spirit
Until all I am is-
Eighty-six
L T Winter Apr 2017
Piece by piece-
My arms burdened me
Too heavy to lift,
But they move slightly
And just enough-
To cut 'ambilevous'
Ties-

Piece-by-piece,
It regrows.
And I'm besieging inside-
'Pretending'
Because it's the pretense that counts,

I tell my feet
While covered in mud
So I wouldn't see them--

I couldn't feel them,

Piece by piece
They erode and I question-
Help?

Tree Of Corpse's
L T Winter Oct 2014
I ran my digits
Along a tree
One day...

Consumed by Twilight.

Yet beautiful
Was this plant's
Decadence.

Feeling bark
Smooth and moist,

At first, I could
Only stare in place.

Hair grew on rainy days.

But I was enticed
Into touching,
The weathering's.

Bodies; the trunk.

Leaves just over
Grown nails.
Twigs but arms and legs.

As I forced
My finger through
A strangers eye.

My insides recoiled....

There's a space
Waiting for me.

Its a whimper
Inside my ears
Trickling rivers of blood.

As softness carelessly
Cold begins asking
Demons--
From pandemonia

For mistakes-
We-the-broken
Played with
Ribcages as children.

We were as bread.

Bus Stop Blues
L T Winter May 2019
Sickly blue
Disturbed dissections
I scream silently
To anyone whose asking.

Because it's my favourite thing to say.

I protrude emptiness, so black
That rainy days
Are bright.

As you shove bones
Down my throat
Expecting me to swallow
And saying it's help.

I cut my skin, to feel
Dissatisfaction

And wait for my lungs
To stop
But the bus stop blues
Never come.

So bleeding waterfalls
Calmly

I metaphorically take pills
Again and again.

Even though I'm metaphysically impaired

I'm still waiting to die.

The Tatters of Time
L T Winter Apr 2019
I'm cavern crackling
Broke
There's a cistern
That talks

So I hide--
Gregariously behind sunglasses
And tatter-ed hoodies.

As I poison myself
To death
With nothing-
A stream bellows

Emptiness
Masking how numb
The Moon is,

Sunlight sleeps-
Allegorically into time
If a chronomancer
Knew.

My memory was mist
I'd apologise stupidly
And hide my hands to
Show you the complexity
Of pain.

But I'm just
A closed book burning
Blood with
My inability to speak.

My Devotion To Dejection
L T Winter Aug 2021
I'm diabolically lonely
And in love
With melancholy

As she leaves me
Like a cancer on my lips
My wisdom depreciates--

And I miss the depressions
She left me in the snow.
When we talk, she tries to whisper
Sweet Sundays of pill-popping
To hangman Tuesdays.

But I am too afraid to leave my house.
It's stagnant here.
With the sadness I should marry.

Kissing me one last time before I get to leave.

Euphorically I Bleed
L T Winter Jan 2020
Hello I laughed
Euphorically
To the people around me.

They stare blankly
But I speak too fast; faster
Than this occasion calls.

At least pigeons eat
My understanding
And my poetry is speaking nonsense
Now.

So I talk to dolphins
But their speech impediments
Were to beautiful–
To hear.
Goodbye I tried to say

While my jugular bled all over the floor.
L T Winter Jan 2020
It took time
For me--
As I ate glass,
In pitch black
'Breathing'

I fear for the colour yellow.

And the time it took
To spit out the
Pain; bleeding
Wrinkles.

Expect nails so
Long you'd know me.
I speak in whispers
Singing homeless cords.

I only wish I was awake this time

— The End —
