    in the wind

    in time, i exist
    between parallels of you
    year by year, we drift through holograms
    years slide, and i ride waves
    through lengths and dimensions, breaking free—
    beyond physics, into chambers of resistance

    each passing year, i wade deeper
    toward a better version of myself
    in time, you divide
    your echoes ride
    the waves i combine,
    to die another time

    you move in rhythm,
    risking heaven—
    to exist or to fall,
    as we dance between hallways, one and two
    be you, or be them—
    you ride only for yourself in the end

    in chambers, i commend
    your mind intertwined with mine
    twice after midnight,
    i revealed who i was

    year after year,
    you become or remain within—
    the choice is yours
    just believe in the wind

    you choose to be who you are

    with the darkest of eyes
    burning in chaos
    broken by rhymes
    in songs of you
    to be with the wind yet
    between the window and the sill
    always in thought, always in song
    stuck beside memories of blue
    like mountains in distance
    colors and hues
    in tango i remember saturday’s

    you twine in movement
    you dance in sullenness
    happiness comes when it flows
    yet toxicity vibrates in daze
    blank stares
    movements where you spin the chair
    it keeps spinning
    we’re twirling between
    saturday and sunday
    fumbling in anxiety yet existing

    you move in ways
    several choices
    to bring the day or feel for worse
    between shadows in night
    or wind beside your arm
    we’re running
    occasionally in chaos
    happiness brings when you bring it
    live to bask in it
    you choose to rise from ashes
    to exist is to live
    one chance and i dare you to ask
    pillows and sheets
    twirled hair

    good morning,
    can you smell the coffee beans?

    6000 santa monica

    to bask into motions
    creating stones from ashes
    have you ever felt quiet
    in a storm of emotion
    we break into thought
    daring to be forth
    i create in nights
    often around midnight
    wondering if you’d be here
    under the street light of our time
    stuck between vices
    in decades of temperance and chaos
    i painted you to be
    with shadows and a melody
    two upon we
    on july thirteenth
    wading in scenes where we spoke
    in a cemetery of ever
    under pressure
    under tension
    you say i instead of we
    because in time
    all things end and all you have are
    moments between
    me, myself and i
    doors open yet some end

    rippled water

    i wade into versions of you
    breaking to be
    tangled between the thought of you
    we’re spinning in circles
    between decades and versions
    i lay one down beneath the fumes
    to listen for echoes
    a darkened temptation
    have you ever spun all night
    stuck in motions
    screaming into white noise
    rocks are not always jagged
    reasons don’t always find meaning
    in night some speak tongues
    to you is to behold
    truths are scarier than our past
    i ask for you to feel the details
    the wind beneath you
    songs in the distance
    ripples in the water
    did the tears fill the pond
    your movements were always too calm

    indigo

    clock hands dance in a ceaseless flow
    we seem to twirl beside stop and go
    i find myself feigning in moments
    twisting on lips between skips
    i hear the clock
    do you hear the click?
    we’re spinning in evanescence
    time fades before it flows
    i work in ways where we don’t align
    i’m finding time between versions of you
    we sway in oasis
    burning for previous conversations
    i converse in a type of rhyme
    between you and i
    i see echoes in things
    to feel the vibrations of moments
    between candle lit diners
    in the franklin village
    i believed in words
    to believe in you
    like clowns in a tiny car
    with an empty tank of gasoline
    things make sense if you let them
    versions of us tango in living rooms
    bouncing from mind to mind
    yours were different
    a type of barbaric
    these moments come yet swiftly go
    memories fade like morning dew
    a thousand miles
    yet i dance to continue
    remember how i always told you
    we were a different version of blue

    to melt with you

    i lie into the thought
    of a dark lit room
    hands across, tangled beside
    to be aside the warmth of you

    i hold to see, strings we keep
    before i tangle
    i rhyme in thought with two hearts
    to be in motion without hesitation
    i used to die for you in summer
    on cold nights i remember
    you beside me, us as we
    to frolic in sessions
    from dusk til daylight
    the wind only speaks if you listen ever so
    carefully

    i mask in your chambers
    with doors locked how we left them
    i see you between the shades
    of a summer time west side
    coffee beans from tuesday morning
    clouds in my ears and death in evenings
    i chance on my wine thinking of all the times

    we bask in our nostalgia
    to remember things how we leave them
    have you ever thought of a moment as it leaves you
    i believe in time
    how it speaks in weight
    two between sheets of memories
    the warmth sometimes burns
    ice ever so calmly melts
    coldness comes with changes
    but time always has a way to heal

    Money doesn’t make you happy. It makes you feel powerful, and in turn, you equate control with happiness, creating a compelling illusion of fulfillment.

    etched

    i etch you in dreams
    yet you can’t see
    time walks past
    as if it had folded over itself
    if we had never met
    like i was never yours

    this time i woke up
    before you could leave again

    string lights

    streetlights flickered
    or maybe it was just my breath
    shallow, waiting
    caught between then and now
    you were never good at goodbyes
    but you were always great at leaving

    words by dominic riccitello

    There was a softness in goodbye, but it never softened the absence.
