the lost sister falling and floating somewhere in the middle. a display case, eyes closed to the gazes looking in. here i rest, though not in peace. here i lie, though not in vain. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #BrknShards

velvet grim bathed in robes, soft against my skin, and i leaned back into his bone and breath. softer than this life and the hands that held me in all these lonely pasts i brushed away and off my cold skin. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #kaytpoems #firewords280

pleasure’s disciple am thorough with the way i love. warm fingertips. the laughter before the moan. breath and bodies entangled. to say i am feral is to say i am tamed just enough not to break you down against flat tongue. ~K.T. #poetry #kaytpoems #stephaniemariavalente

a silent house a relief. enjoy each moment of this internal and external peace, wrapped around me like something holy. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #BrknShards

edging understanding teetering on a line between love and hate and hope. i am a bundle of unresolved issues. hoping that if i fall, it will be with the water lilies beneath a sunlit sky. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #FoxProse

hung to dry along a clothesline held tenderly by the trees, the breeze, a weep that will evaporate into an evening of twilight turned to starlight. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #OurPoetryX #loveletters

was i a show pony? carrying all these childish qualities? walking myself in circles? madness as a routine with frothing mouth and a desire for a freedom that could never come again. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems

my mouth, a homewrecker warm tongue. summer against my inner cheeks. come get a taste. can be home and hearth to the ache you can’t name. will leave the remnants of me for you to remember when you get lonely again. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #kaytpoems #elenaspoetryprompts

the static reaches me, even here where lightning touches the ground with force. where the sky is velvet, and i am a bloom of honeysuckle. turning my face up to the embers of anger. the tide licks my toes. crows follow me. here, i am home. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #kaytpoems

Beautiful piece, love the wording, delicate and so elegant. Really great job, thank you for sharing it with us and do come again
the morning after sinful yesterdays sweaty and splayed beneath the fan. brain a haze. pounding heartbeat fading into something soft. the quiet after a storm. we are holding hands and sinking into an afterglow, warm and waiting. ~K.T. #kaytpoems #loveletters #moonmystic

salty lips kissed swollen. sweat along your temples. we are pulsing together. making love like we’re making music. matching the rhythm with hips and breath and instruments we don’t know how to name. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #loveletters

hard candy swirled over my tongue. clacked against my teeth. i’m savoring this sugared reprieve. thinking. breathing sweetened exhales into the night that doesn’t ask why. only inhales the scent. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #firewords280

the moths know about change caterpillars melt and mold. must die to be reborn. i feel that, too. a transformation that will break me before rearranging my guts. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems

the desert drinks rain like whiskey call it a slow burn. one sip at a time. liquid fire down the sand’s esophagus. already know swelter and sweat. the brink of a death that can dry bones into break and shatter along each rising dune. ~K.T. #kaytpoems #mlmacprompts

we kissed the sun held the sphere between our lips. licking up the burn. passed from tongue to tongue. couldn’t tell our heat from burning stars. couldn’t separate melt and mashed mouths. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #loveletters

optimistic observations can’t see without my glasses, but fuck it, color me rosy. i’ll take a tinted world if it holds more color in its lenses. will keep dreaming of an amber sky, living and bleeding. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #FoxProse

running through waves feet wet and wild and sprinting along the water. sun burned. going towards a horizon that will melt me into each rise and fall of the ocean’s blue breast. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #loveletters

oh honey, we’re not young or old we’re figuring it out. decidedly human. living and breathing and dying. finding a source for madness we call happiness. growing. bleeding. doing our best in a world that doesn’t seem to want us. ~K.T. #kaytpoems #esbprompts

join me stick your hand under my shirt. palm to my heartbeat. feel the way it skips beneath tender touch. each rib begging to bend and open. to give you access to all this blood and bone. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #OurPoetryX

making love for love’s sake more than instinct. than an unhealthy desire. i want to take my time. to learn all of you, and choose to stay wrapped in this comfortable affection. ~K.T. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #blackpoet #kaytpoems #FoxProse
