words by dominic riccitello

i whisper upon your ear
two tongues who twist
to taste your lips against my soul
your aura bleeds white
innocence and bliss with a darkened kiss
i feel the roots of your tree
how your knees bend with the wind
the way you sway when i reminisce
i touch the tips of your soul
how you bend, we go slow
tango through the night
i needle the skin you once held tight
vertigo shades your hues
we couldn’t keep up, we couldn’t find truth
i soothed your you’s
i found you
in deep corners at night
where nothing bleeds right
where infidelity rings a hidden truth
honesty sways you and anger fuels
i touched
with a softness
grasp of your hands
how you fell in love
when everything was wrong
yet subconsciously right
