L T Winter Aug 2015
I eat ice
To avoid falling snow

And you see illogical
Contrasts making friends

With alphabetical dinosaurs
Endangering strangers endeavours

But we're human after all.

While wisps stay
To glow
Without light.
L T Winter Sep 2014
We synthesized tomorrow; -since.


Enzymes bore more than-
Colour to bone; --though.

It wasn't the sound
Of nothing that betrayed-
Marble-ebbing-into-waves.

A lisp could quaver,
Sight; we only heard
Centipede-segments-sometimes; with-
One leg too many.

They caressed magic from
Moon-vivid illusions; and
As whispers wrangled senses,
We found the ground-
This wraith became me.

In distance; I stole.
Attention, yet before that.



We electrified paper once.
L T Winter Sep 2014
Staring at endemic
This aráneam friend; crossing-
Few limbs attempting.

Spindle weaving spigots; as-
He levitated eighteen--
Appendages, bewildering
Dainty beauty.

It was his connection--
To sound that; perplexed.
Me-as-the-human.

Watching, watchers, tick.

Patiently pretending my dear-
Arthropod; that scares.
L T Winter Sep 2014
I've always itched
For perfect mahogany
Chimera doubles.

Cavorting into her,
Psychologies
Fullest emptiness.

Drastic is the
...Vow...

One which
Most perceive.

I let it
Palpate
My sheathing...

And my entrails
Lay open...
As she played cello.

With intestines of mine,
Her smile planted
In mist.

Painted on sawmill
Hinges...
It began.

To sieve serrating
..Arms...
Back to my tissues
Within.

My bones; refused
Seeping aqueducts.

Only to quail from sin.

We wetted; our contour
Tongues on....
O-negative streams.

So animalistic,
I dwindled upon
Her lancet...

And we let our
Collage begin.
L T Winter Aug 2015
I'm-slow-rhythm
-Kissing-spaces
With thyme,

And we call her rosemary
because fear stole the heart
While my mind fathoms her name.

'Sometimes'

I'll call her coral
As I sleep shes sun-bound
Drying eyes.

Even though--
Merely-working
Keeping pastures and paper alive.

These visions; I must see again.
L T Winter Oct 2015
Clouds speak
With lunar light,
As droplets
Slither from gravity.

Ambers; whites; greys; blacks
Slowly blurring boundaries
In tornado fashions.

My bag of mani-fes-tations
Drips blood quietly
While they kiss; coldly
As if forever existed.

I gave them intestine
Necklaces, and hung them from
My tree-
To make decorations.

After cerebral dancing
Their brains were gone,
But wax filled eyes-
Crafted pumpkins.

--Now I wait
-For-the-knock
Trick-or-treat?
L T Winter Jan 2015
I've become bilateral tainted--
By coincidences and ageing
Aegis fragments,

I wear sickle seeking madness-
Telling water to float, so dryads
Could root with xylem or phloem.

While the amoebas play
Webs like violin; harps-
The trees felt sorrow singing
--And dropped, but one leaf.

For--

This-was--
A waking-
'Wake'
I only tried-to-die once.
L T Winter May 2015
Your angles; bizarre but beautiful.
I cut the skin, to craft them,
Not understanding why--

My hands telling horrors
Broke--
L T Winter Sep 2014
Her feet bled mist.
As shes apocalyptic-
Walking--

When people wilt.
She can't help,
But watch.

The tears half-trip
Downwards; stumbling-
Storms

And a second,
A moment--
A century



Too late she'd gone.

Whiskers lay silent,
In places that
Couldn't be reached.


Onyx fell-
It never said
Goodbye-or-hello

For this ink sowed-
A-seed-inside-
Hymn hearts--
And waited.


She's catastrophic--
Stillness,

Leaning on glazed
Eyes I watch,
And fall asleep.
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.
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.
L T Winter Sep 2014
These wyrms
Stand shorter than placing
Feet.

Her oaken hair bristles
With autumn's hues
And conker cues.

Founding flickers of
Bloodwine tears speaking
Avalanche glances.

We are wintering clouds
Conjoining summer strangers.
Doting flares; icicle years.
Finding you

A ghost on all their faces.
L T Winter Jul 2016
Silt-carriers creeping
Enigmatic tidings
-whiskering
Whiskey translucence
And ***** tonics

Age brought, silent sorrows
I wept them-slowly
For-for-getting,

I could be-
A demon cleansing wreaths
Of teeth and all
You see are leaves.

Petals grow on my skin
Talking venoms and frog-like sin
Yet people are hearing hymns,

Though my wrists are just over
Burdened bludgeonings
Theres blankness and hollows.
L T Winter Sep 2014
My lungs are-
Made of bronze
Breathing,
Sandman salt
And forget-me-knot visits.
L T Winter Dec 2014
It's a misdemeanour of cold that shivers away on goose-bumping feelings that the wind always steals with semantics.
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.
L T Winter Feb 2015
It's catapults and expulsion liquid, your familiar with it on your cheeks and I'm showing you buttercups because my feet are stuck on pollen.
L T Winter Jan 2015
Sometimes-- I'm illness
-Breeding pores,
And 'yes' I can feel them.

When I cut through skin-
Searching for inner beauty
--as I've lost mine-

These fingers,
Squelch over weaving's and wraps
Inside-
It's warm red here,
Almost mulled wine evenings--

There's suppression on
Your blink-less face
In tearing lips,
Yet--

You smile.

As you feel my hands rummaging,
Through-broken-ribs in
'Hopes' of stroking lungs-
Only--breathless-slow-motion
Memories occur.

And instead I stab
That precious heart with
Unwarranted lonely,
I'm breeding-on-the-mess
I've made--

Staring-at-the-pieces,
I'd been drinking--
A carcass of iridescent beauty.
L T Winter Sep 2014
Wily white meadow--
Bridles her name- silently
And--
Caribou hold their tears.


Roots promise with midst-
To miss her--
So cantaloupe may be-
In-every-second.

We aren't in lilac and lily.
But my paws are padded
Told-telling--



I walk.
L T Winter Jan 2015
'I should be dead'


Said the sleeping-
Sadness--
Trying to speak blind
With cayman lips.

This dust is different
Lingering internally-
Flailing at unchangeable.

There were pieces,
Like me--but-
Crafted from puzzle
I left them inside-the-clouds.
On the pathways-
And with her skin-

-Though the atmosphere stole them.

My familiarity had gone-
And now--
All I have,
Is singing carcinogens,
Gargling on numb.
L T Winter Sep 2014
There was a man.

Lying face down,
In his ocean of rain-
A reclusion of self...


Sharp with shells
Piercing permeable
Sonnets--


Thistle to speech
Embedded paving's
Of lavender bunkers.

Exude this chalice
For my chandelier
Made tome-stone--


Cemeteries bequeath.
L T Winter Jul 2016
Broken glass-embers
Sizzle; silence.
And maroon agony.

I'm trapped here
Sifting through those bones-
Again-- I was
Asking angels for cigarettes
Made of reeds.


And they spoke in itchy eyes,
Aching doubts.

So I lay there in
Crimson ashes-
Waiting for the
Make believe to tell me toxins.
L T Winter Sep 2014
She is snowless-shadows
Overseeing vagabond centuries
And her smoothness--

Defies halcyon moons
Her hoplite eyes,
Breaks my golem
Heart.

This figurine beauty
Curves informally
With tinder-cove
Allergies.

'You know'

In hanging hands.
L T Winter Sep 2014
The buzzard circled a Vulture made of lead; it melted volcano pastures. As time became a clock.
L T Winter Jan 2015
My nails are longer-
Now they cackle,
Illusions as
I coat them; in anti-venom.

And all from above,
For none come below--
To mention me.

I speculate mistakes as,
There made of-
Bandages

Their fabric brittle--

Its time-to-
St--

Stop standing

On backwards.
L T Winter Jan 2015
I commit secret things, dark and in the past. Worse than cutting fibers and curing blood, but I stopped trying to go against life once the pavement had become bioluminescence and my choices changed.
L T Winter Sep 2015
This copper-light
I wield scoffs steadily
At the gate we watch.

Though lapless lions
Bare nonchalant goose-bumps
Cheating windy copses

From sandy-lane slumbers,
It's bleeding peaches and gums
Because agony is only
Two decimals less than
Those without.
L T Winter Sep 2014
--With antlers
Breaking; broken
We're all-
Wonder; wandering

Through the glass
Forest where trunks
Reflect regret--
And leaves cut mistakes
Into scars.

We are deer,
Eating barb-tailing
Grass.

But I'm sorry
Antibiotic acorns
Aren't working anymore.

My pupil's seep,
Mercury in return.

When that feeling--
Attaches bed-linen
To stapling sharks,
They begin birthing

'Acknowledgement'
L T Winter Oct 2015
There's summer-sand
Between her teeth
When siphoning
Passion from stones.

And she tastes each
One gradually
As they bring remorse
In mem-ori-o-so,

While catkins fall
Artificially behind
Her soul.
Museless#
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.
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
I
The viral precipice,

Of epileptic terminology.


Stare into eclipse

Light bestowed.



On sins…

As solitary silence

Begins to forget disease.






And I began to think…



Maybe this is how

I’m meant to be.
L T Winter Oct 2014
--It's time
To titter my-ribcage
Concealing-an-eyelids-
Truth,

Begin loosening your
Constriction of me.


--I'm lonely, Much-more-
So than twiddling thumbs.

Ignoring precipice isn't
The problem--
Knowing always, it's here
And found at ease.

****'s samples of egg yolk.

Maybe-that's-why,
So many fear this.

At extension, I adore it-
Relish inside intestines,
Made of glass--
Legs.


I'm the-observer.
The-Watcher.
But now--

I need-
--I need

Something more,
Than distance.

Ceramic burdens
Box these in.

The Wither-ings.
L T Winter Apr 2015
I've starting speaking
To the walls again--
They tell me everything and nothing.
As I lose echoes decorating
Dander-lions with leaves.
L T Winter Jan 2015
I am sorry to walk with broken toes and moss ear hearing but I must digress into the crumbling for my eyes are hiding.
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.
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.
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 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 Feb 2015
'Oh'
Said brevity to
Stars sinking red
--Exits

Into atom-cavaliers,
And fallopian mountains.
L T Winter May 2015
Tightening her lips-
Expectantly--
Waiting for,
Me to look
Up

-When my lungs had
Fallen out from feeling

And the heartbeats became-
More--more
Plastic

With intestines resting
So-peacefully under
Remembering snow.

I ask?

A question.
L T Winter Sep 2014
It's like grinding-
Thistle-lips when speaking--
Trying to trample,

'Assumption'

Told us melancholy
With which; I wear
Knives-as-skin.

My Cerebellum-doesn't
Know-how-to
--Connect?

Channeling changes,
You'd rather see
Becomes me.

I listen sideways; stepping
Speech--
I'd eat bramble branches
For impediments of you.

Screaming red-raw-thorns
As they skewer-
My throat.

I giggle blisters instead.
L T Winter Jan 2015
Look--
Spoke-an
-Elixir of drinking
Revolving on anecdotal-- songs
Smudging dialect with faceless
Smoke and

--Tree stamp magnates
Break silicon fingers
Every-time-floating-
Becomes a possibility.

Metallic-murdering
On precise though incisions
Through mice; made gagging
Voices--

Those frogs that sleep backwards,
-Wingless for the flies

We are comatose rising.
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.
L T Winter Sep 2014
For all three leaves, to be uprooted began the miracle of time.
L T Winter Apr 2015
She's ghost-bound
Dead,
Counting silent breath
On airwaves--

And oaken elephants--
Weather through
The distillation
Of time-

We're time-travelling
Whispers; nanoseconds
Catching spores,
Spelling--

She's mine-
My only one.
Been a while, since words spoke.
L T Winter Sep 2014
We are the-
Unattainable
Lampshades--flickering
On and off-
In-and-out
With
And without.

--And her skin
Is all I can breathe.

I write in cartilage
Memoirs just to feel
Unfeeling.

But we love unfairly
Until digging nails
Into walls--

Becomes beautiful

We-the-unreachable
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.
L T Winter Mar 2015
Red washes off
Our faces,
And stitches tie
Fingers-in-bindings

--Forever

Two foot-daisies
Hanging talons
With horse hooves

Trample lightning
Silhouettes on marble
Trees-

And we bleach
Sun-skin--

Between your toes-
More or less.
L T Winter Jan 2015
Hello, said a man wearing hooves before bleaching us with ruminations, he stabbed our philosophy of love with umbrella doubts; parsley generations.
