orchid blossoms

(11/7/23)

in the summer you will already be fading written in petals⠀⠀falling to the ground something rare in your beauty many rush to capture it fleeting not many really understanding why you exist gently and fiercely open palm and open mind now that the blossom is overturned will they know you were here before?

sacred femininity/masculinity

if these gender norms are

the tightrope above a gaping

ravine, then i choose to be

the darkness that harbors

all of those who have chosen

the other path.

bitter fir

(8/7/23)

palette knife and oil paint set in linseed and sunlight why do i seem to float you tend to stare as i drown knowing i will be at peace among closely gathered lilies tucked in by lily pads kissed at night by the moon in turn, i light up the night sky

endeared

(27/7/23)

i love you like an animal i love you like a dog knowing nothing but devotion wishing to be sanable i love you like an atom bomb i love you like the end but i have become a cold reactor only safely embalmed i love you like a papercut i love you like death no climbing of the mountain to bury the mutt

i just need some time to bleed it out

i’m swimming in the reddening 

pool that is literally and figuratively

my blood, because i am feeding 

my flesh to anything that will bite

and watching them grimace at the taste. 

~K.T.

mercy kill

lay me down against the 

deepened twilight, and i 

will let the shooting stars 

pierce my heart if it means 

ridding myself of these mortal emotions.

mermaid scales

(1/7/23)

watch me call you in with my sweet words in song glistening below waves knowing you wish to skin my alive do you know your mind tricks you into diving deep down let the water wrap around you follow the soothing sound when i am caught in that net i wish to look as beautiful in death wrapped in grace, as ophelia’s suicide

it all goes back to salt in the end

everything. i hope i do too. 

maybe i can help someone

keep the demons away. just

maybe, i’ll still be a tool in

the afterlife.

things you can fit in a mason jar

love notes / polaroids /

threaded bracelets / a

young heart / memories

made old /

~K.T.

[kaytpoems]

the question i can’t get out of my head

how can i ever stop? these words are

beams of moonlight in the darkest

nights, and i am guided daily along

the writer’s path, alone and yet

watched by each blinking star.

it's a ritual

(24/10/22)

i’m reflected in your eyes do you see something beautiful? this isn’t me⠀this isn’t you i can’t say i still love you the power that takes is no longer within me⠀within you i still try to become that image squeezing into the frame you made again destroying every part of who i am

mysterious

(17/10/22)

in the blood orange dawn you seek it you will find no more of it no longer to speak of life when the world finally rises it will remain dormant, a shadow no longer afraid of time as those around it slipped away a carapace had formed no longer delicate and emotional stripped of all humanity left to die alone in the early hours of the morning as the world now rests it says its final prayers goodbyes falling upon deaf ears the death of the living and the death of life

in the dark

(11/10/22)

something sinister brews within a rock plunging into those velvet waves such swelling and contortion the lunar tide tumbles that jagged stone slowly sinking⠀piercing the liquid slabs streamlining for the sand bed not knowing it has taken a leap for the darkest trench

tea's gone cold

(4/10/22)

coming in from the cold dust off that icing sugar snow unwind that layer of insulation buried under heat when everything gets in the way you’ll be the one to stay as long as the kettle is boiling and until your tea’s gone cold
