    i find our errors to be nothing but self evident
    in a sense of mankind benefiting from the delicate
    nature of our state of mind
    becoming to be, yet failing to fall
    from what it was in the moment
    we let it all go
    i find myself in statue moments
    feigning from the past of how it was
    instead of how i wanted it to become
    from the errors i once had
    i triumph from terror, fighting knights i once had
    running to bliss from hallways of desire
    i read chapters from ages which don’t make sense
    because sense is something i only know from my point of view
    like these words on pages only find sense to some
    in ways they’re read because a rhythm only reads a way i allow
    like the currents in rivers where i succumb to memories of you
    reds to blues to yellows to high glances
    from pills i used to take to wade my mind from you
    and we’re singing in a tune i’ve only sung once before
    for a man in glasses looking at me
    from stairs down the hall
    nearing our edges of bathroom porcelain
    i’m pulling for oxygen, for elegance 
    for words on paper you couldn’t read
    for beds are broken with two in kind and two in mind
    two in a pace without one ahead or one behind
    i resign from inside echoes 
    stages of you
    blues and greens
    how i always saw 
    you

    stages

    in the dark of your taste
    i bend for your broken heart
    a dire scream in the sheets with ease
    how i bend and tear your chest from parts
    where i used to store a heart i held for you
    like broken songs on records i’d play
    the same tune stays for echoes on end
    i bliss in tune with memories of our childhood
    feet closer than we thought
    cracks on streets seemed deeper than they were
    like songs children would play
    thoughts i remember in years after sheets covered our eyes
    from terrors at night
    our hands apart
    poems at bay
    with coding to slim the words i used to say
    and we met
    a few years too far from where we were
    too soon to where we are in this moment
    i touch the tip of your fingers
    because i can
    i touched the tip of your head
    because i could
    i left a piece of thought in your brain
    because the words i said
    we in your thoughts
    before i could shut and open the door
    of where our memories strayed

    and i was younger

    running on lines i told myself in echo
    of where i was when time was fine
    like ruins in my brain from days where
    a daze was all i had
    but i’m dancing in oasis
    yet some call it purgatory
    i think of it more as if it’s harmony
    a soul and mine combined to find ideas
    i used to tell myself in night
    where shadows crept upon
    dying was beside me
    it was like fine wine
    but cheap wine got us drunk faster
    into you before i
    and i watched as you twirled
    in and out of consciousness
    ignoring unrequited bliss
    and he was a preacher
    who talked upon himself
    a hardness, a leather
    blue sheets at night
    with the moon of bronson
    talking to us
    from cemeteries we used to lie under
    with voices in night
    i still talk to you
    i still talk at you
    and it was always for you
    like love in light
    wine in night
    shadows i used to hide
    like pride on my tongue
    how i used to give you it all
    as if its high tide and you needed mine
    to breathe at night

    high tide as you feed on i

    The darkest hours bring the most light.

    i find you in soft error
    in ways i can’t remember
    like edges of tables
    they exist but we don’t beg to ask
    we frolic in ways
    i can’t quite grasp
    and i’m pulling on weights in my mind
    wondering if this is right
    if time divides or collides our truths
    we’re swaying in the backyard
    wandering far from where we hide
    two in kind, two in a high tide
    and i fight to break the walls we create
    in nights of summer where things become
    a slight bit warmer 
    like the sheets of your bed
    glide against your shins
    and i’m laying my leg against your body
    we’re creating warmth without thought
    and the tables have edges
    without thought
    do things fall before they fly
    or do they fly before they fall
    i’m spinning in my mind
    with questions i can’t remember
    temptation in december
    with years on my life
    movement on my mind
    and i’m swaying
    alone
    but it’s fine
    you in thought
    you in past lives
    we regret because we can’t fill voids
    but i don’t regret
    i love, i lust, i fill molds in truth
    you in plain view and past creates present
    past love is the definition of present

    i do not regret

    to be at ease
    of christmas eve
    under darkened skies
    where i think of you
    like wine nights
    easy cries
    in the midst of memories
    where we’re spinning
    out of control
    of hands we used to hold
    do we linger or do we fall
    do we hold or do we crawl
    from past trauma of what it was
    and i sip this like light
    like i feel for smaller times
    instead of dark nights
    where i used to think of you
    in shadows of corners
    on balconies
    where we’re hiding the truth
    in which i dealt with you
    throwing knives at walls
    to necks where you
    know what i’m talking about
    and i miss the dark
    as i long for light
    because without dark
    i do not know time
    i do not know past
    i do not know bad
    i do not know what i truly have
    you in mind
    and it’s you all the time

    in past we make present

    in desire i found youth
    upon your light twined mind
    with ego i bend for you
    before beds quake and oceans tide
    under skies at night i wade for truth
    to be okay with—
     
    i find in moods at night
    with songs of sultry in the background
    in dark corners of an apartment
    with dirty carpet
    fine tuned minds we utter words
    which make no sense
    like dark knights on horses in forests
     
    we dance to shadows
    from waves which make movement
    like we used to
    and i feel used too
    like a collective turned moment
    where we’re spinning in motions
    creating emotion by strangers in streets
    running to abolish our meaning
     
    but we’re defined by moments
    created by longing emotion
    from lovers of seconds to years
    spinning wheels in streets
    grabbing hands for warmth
    for touch, for passion of nights
    where we twine under sheets
    to tango in skin
    where bones touch
    but feelings collide
    and we fall in love for seconds
    believing this is all but everything
    but nothing at all

    moments with bones

    I loved myself and since I loved me, I loved him because I realized he was good for me. A type of self worth, a type of narcissistic love.

    The difference between fucking and loving is taboo to some because not everyone can separate their emotions.

    words by dominic riccitello

    i’m loving in your eyes
    turning to sides
    swaying in the night
    finding you in emotion
    to turn with grasp of your shoulder
    i’m holding a tune
    to feel in depth with you
    without the details of our skin
    the pores i reminise in
    nights where i feel like
    we might have been
    but i tango in tune
    with a rhythm you sold
    in darkness at night
    behind alleys in bars
    where i surrender before
    the fire in our eyes
    a connection i confide
    in you in years ago
    before i knew what time was
    i tango in thought
    leaving you without arms
    a man with hands
    which couldn’t grip
    i stay in rhythm
    without with you in this

    without you i remember
