words by dominic riccitello

dancing
to the base of your heart
stroking your hands
kissing you in the dark
i take you here
from there
to places i’ve seen
on the darkest of nights
i transcend
hoping to find you
touching your soul
loving you deep down
to the hollow of your bones
i gloom on days
hidden in a daze
where i’ll find you
twirling around my heart
thriving in the dark
i lust with danger
a vile force
it hurts to breathe, i said
i’ll take you deep, i said
words in my mind
the silence i feel
anxiety you can taste
i frolic in the maze
of your mind
holding on to reasoning
a dark justification
clouds which feel vacant
i follow you here
nor there
but the love filled void
in the darkest crevice
of your mind
where the venom fills
and the grip binds
