Baby You Matter

You’ve never gotten flowers before
There’s a flower shop not too far from you
I’ll send you a bouquet for V-Day
Planned visits to places for your B-day

~ Sakari


I haven’t celebrated anything
Outside of Halloween
I work, and I’m off and on with love
I can’t treat you the same, Love

~ Sakari


I’m not the type to diss the past
So I won’t say anything about your ex
But you don’t have a next
I won’t treat you, like everything’s about sex

~ Sakari


You’re so affectionate, and you’re much more romantic
Than I can ever be

I like this…

You’re so artistic, the things you draw
And how your curiosity has you going
You’ll never have to adventure

For my affection

~ Sakari

I Heart Games With You

Whenever I get these new tattoos
You’ll feel them first
These new tattoos
Won’t make a few stand out

~ Sakari


Unlike my tattoos
I’ll never cover a thing about you
You’ll never need to hide your face from me
Put your hands back to your side

~ Sakari


Why hide your body
I’ve already seen your thighs before
So much of you in a single image
Video chats where I see more

~ Sakari


They won’t see you how I do
Get you to blush just to kiss past your lips, like I do
My lips against your teeth, I love that much of you
Get you upset, make you want space from me, just to over impress you

~ Sakari

My Brother Is A Vampiric Dragon: I’ll Face Him For You — A Sneak Peak At My Dark Fantasy Series “How Long Is Endless”

A Dark Fantasy

Photo by Alexandr Popadin on Unsplash

EXT. CITY DOCS — NIGHTFALL (CONT’D)

His massive dragonish wings break the line of sight of the moon. Autumn’s monster form levitates in the sky.

Connor steps forward, ready to face his elder brother and make up for his mistakes in the past. His eyes radiate with a center purple.

Autumn roars into his brother’s direction, raising his massive claw shortly after. In the palm of its hand, the creature gathers a massive orb of dark energy.

The darkened purple orb of destruction is slung out of the obelisk’s hand, drowning the air around it as it comes towards Connor and Jolyn with full force. Jolyn readies her black flames, but Connor uses his powers instead to turn into a thickened black form of mist.

Swirls of what used to be Connor, meet the large orb of dark energy. The black mist quickly expands around the orb, creating a vortex that pushes the orb and itself into the large fiend. A short explosion goes off, creating large waves of destructive winds in the process.

Jolyn braces for the strong aftermath, as she bends her legs and guards her face with her arms. The fire that was once ignited on her, is now gone.

Two images descend from the sky, these figures being Connor and Autumn. They exchange shots as they fall headfirst, with Connor landing a strong double punch to Autumn’s face, before belches out a dark energy stream that hits Connor in the chest, launching him yards away from Autumn before the two slam into the city’s river.

Shrouds of swirling black mist break out of the large body of water, meeting Autumn just as he catapults out the water and back into the air. Autumn grows a set of demonic black wings without having to fully transform this time, choosing to slam himself right into the black mist upon seeing it.

The mist quickly converts back into the physical form of Connor, with Connor coming out of his mist form, right into a punch in the face. Autumn follows this up with an instant dark orb to the chest, breaking Connor back through the air and sending him crashing into the doc’s housing unit, behind Jolyn.

Jolyn screams for him.

JOLYN: Connor!!

She runs into his direction, but is stopped when a dark orb speeds into the small housing unit before she can reach him. The orb explodes on impact, destroying the unit and launching Jolyn backwards through the night air.

Autumn catches her just as he descends back on the docks, grabbing her back with one hand, only to revert and slam her into the ground, back first. He then places his foot on her neck, as the hard surface around her, suffers from a series of cracks.

Autumn cocks his right hand back in the air, allowing it to extend with massive fiend-like claws. He looks down at his target, watching as she struggles to removes his foot from her throat as she is now nearly planted into the ground.

AUTUMN: I won’t allow some girl to come in between me and my younger brother.

Autumn’s tone doesn’t change. He still is nearly emotionless when he speaks, giving off a soft-spoken voice in the process.

AUTUMN: I’ll straighten him out after this, just as I have done before. You’ll simply be another memory for us to have to deal with.

Jolyn struggles to the point of forming tears in her eyes. She quickly ignites her powers, readying flames that she was uncertain would do anything. But before either of them could make the next move, a fast spear shoots through the air and takes a chunk out of Autumn’s chest, nearly hitting his heart.


Author’s Notes: This is going to be the first episodic series that I actually launch. It’s going to be 6 episodes deep, with each episode being 30 pages a piece.

It will be launched across multiple publishing platforms (Apple Books, Barnes & Noble and Kobo, to name a few). These episodes will be free for all readers, no strings attached. The goal is to give readers an actual choice, as a compilation edition will be released afterwards, with an option of purchase.

The compilation edition will be all the episodes in one physical copy, plus more book content that can only be obtained in the compilation edition. Again, this will truly be the choice of the reader, as not gaining the compilation edition, will not hinder you from future seasons.

The compilation edition is mainly for those who are truly immersed into the universe of the series and want more before the next season’s rollout.

Poetry Pack: Your First/The Moon Doesn’t Tell Me

Poetry for a gathering heart

I swear on my heart, I want to be the first of your everything
I want to be the first one to never leave you
The first one to wake up in the morning, searching for you
The first one to notice when you can’t sleep at night
The first one to calm you down with kisses on your chest
The first one to catch your tears in my hand
***
I want to be the first to explore 
your imagination

~ Sakari

I’d like to stay inside 
This world of fantasy 
Live out my life with you
Inside this RPG

~ Sakari


One life is all we have
No matter what the metrics say
Why not avoid the final boss
For as long as possible

~ Sakari


Stay in the countryside with me 
We don’t need the city noise 
There are small markets nearby 
Fresh meals for us both

~ Sakari


Sadness isn’t a promise 
You are
Every day that I’m with you
Nothing is broken between us

~ Sakari


I don’t wanna wait
Until I find the courage to
Everyday 
I’d like to be on screen with you

~ Sakari


Can you see the beauty in it
This distant land
That rains stardust
And lights up the night

~ Sakari

Your First (Outerlude)
I swear on my heart, I want to be the first of your everything
I want to be the first one to never leave you
The first one to wake up in the morning, searching for you
The first one to notice when you can’t sleep at night
The first one to calm you down with kisses on your chest
The first one to catch your tears in my hand
***
I want to be the first to explore
your imagination

My newest serialized poetry book series, Empath, is available now for preorder on Amazon. The first arc will be a four-book series, with each book specializing in a different theme for “Longing.”

Book 1 will be called — Empath: From Autumn To Spring. This, like the ones after it, will be a quick read, and is priced at 99cents. This particular volume will focus more on the love side of things, being very big on daydreaming/fantasizing, about the hopes that love brings to the narrator’s heart.

This will be dedicated to those who just want some form of romance in their literature. No depression…no form of sadness. Only hope and inspiration. None of these books will have to be read in chronological order.

Entry 5

I guess I’m going to start doing these entries from my notes. Like my poetry, it feels more natural this way.

Writing has introduced me to many connections. Blessings in hiding. But there’s this one blessing…I shouldn’t talk about.

I’d like for this blessing to be held close to me. I don’t want anyone else to know about this blessing. But this particular blessing…is what I often turn to…when the darkness calls too strongly in my life.

Entry 6

America is no longer a home for me. I feel like I’m saying this on a daily basis now.

I don’t fit it. I don’t exist here. But overseas…in the Philippines…I can feel it. I exist. I exist and I’m not even over there yet.

My lover is. She’s there. But she only serves as a percentage as to why I feel a strong calling coming from over there — she isn’t the whole picture.

A significant portion. But when I write…my heart sings honesty. Even so…she completes my trip.

I have something to go to when I get there. Her arms are my first destination. Inside of her body will be my next.

Poem: I’m Gonna Drain You

Photo by Colorblind Photography on Unsplash

I’m gonna drain you.
***
I wanna take all of the liquids
Out of your body.
***
I want you to come so much
That you become dehydrated
Like it doesn’t matter to me
Like you don’t need your fluids
I need your fluids
I need the taste off your nipples
The milk that still drips
A fresh mom’s body
I want what’s left of you
***
You have no idea of my desire
I’m looking
When you think that I’ve had enough
I’m merely contemplating
Savoring the taste on my tongue
I never rush my food
“Baby wait”
I can do that
I can savor the taste a little bit longer
I can struggle against this thirst, a little longer

~ Sakari


Your First (Outerlude)

I swear on my heart, I want to be the first of your everything

The first one to notice when you can’t sleep at night
The first one to calm you down with kisses on your chest
The first one to catch your tears in my hand
***
I want to be the first to explore
your imagination

Hey Siri! (Interlude)

Drop me from the highest sky
Back first, I fall into intoxication
This intimacy is forever
One night at a time, I remember
***
You make me believe and eat
Away at this plate of edible flowers
Petals that love you for you
We should be saying those magic words
Soon
***
Hey Siri
Set a reminder for 8:30
Every morning
I want her to wake up
To a passage of feelings from me
***
Hey Siri
Would it be me too much
If I walked from my place
To where she stayed
Could I convince the sky
To follow me to your side
***
Hey Siri
I think this heart of mine
Wants to hear from her more

Poem #1

Your hopes are mid
You have the wings to fly
You fear what any single mother does
Getting your hopes high

I won’t tell you…to fly

Ride my vocals like the bike you drive
I’ll sing to your beauty, you beautiful being
And it’s only human for me
To want you in this way
The supernatural aspect of things
Stay in my journal

Every conversation
Tales of a hidden meaning
Your aura feels hopeless
You want hope from our dialogue

To the girl that’s tried before
You don’t have to try again

You can wake your heart up again

We think of additions to our lives
More kids for you and myself
Immediately, we both want more
The process should be held on to

This is cool
This is a performance
With an opening act that promises
To notice you from the crowd

Break the rules to our roles
We don’t need to be like everyone else
We don’t need everyone to see us
We can go outside together, when it rains

The first one to calm you down with kisses on your chest
The first one to catch your tears in my hand

your imagination

The unauthorized thoughts

That stay in her mind

When my world ends

Lying beside you

Unshackled themselves

Once you reached for me

Her attraction is magical

In my hands

There she is, drying all my night’s rain

How could I ever escape this hollow

Without her

Dark Fantasy Assassin Thriller Preview – #1

Photo by Eric Ward on Unsplash

Plot: She’s been on the run from the League for five years now. She maintains as quiet of a life as possible. With that being said, twenty-six-year-old May, is being tracked down by a faction of assassins, who have the ability to dispose of their targets, by murdering them in their dreams. Using what they call, “Dream Magic,” May has to face manipulated nightmares, with death by dream, being death foreal.

Chapter ??

SETTING: BRIGHT RED SPACE — TIMING UNKNOWN

A twenty-six-year-old woman by the name of May, stands in the center of a red plane. An open space of nothingness.

Surrounding her, a group of people stand in a mindless matter, with their faces stuck in the sky above. May is confused as to what is going on.

She doesn’t say anything, just waiting to see what’s going to happen next. She doesn’t move, only spinning her head in different directions as the bodies stand around her, still not forming any human actions.

May conjures the courage to move first, barely reaching a hand out to a motionless man in front of her, before…

His body suddenly suffers a large gash across his neck and shoulder. This gash nearly splits the man down the middle, before fountains of blood sprout out the stranger, and his body drops to the ground.

May gasps.

Withdrawing her hand, the blood gets on her, following a sequence of sudden deaths happening to the other mindless people around her. One by one, the others are cut down, with their blood raining on her as well.

May’s anxiety builds, as she turns in every direction to see all of this. With no killer in sight, she screams.

Chapter ??

INT. MAY’S BEDROOM — NIGHTFALL

May wakes up in her room. A nightmare is what she realizes had happened, as she looks down into her hands, before covering her face with them.

She speaks to herself.

MAY: Get a grip May.

INT. FRONT ROOM — MORNING

Morning comes around and May enters the front room of her two-bedroom apartment. Seeing her younger sister sitting at the dining room table, Clarissa, is already having breakfast.

Clarissa immediately notices her big sister.

CLARISSA: You look like crap.

MAY: I feel like it too.

May opens the fridge before closing it right back up.

MAY: I guess I have to go shopping.

CLARISSA: What do you mean — there’s plenty to eat in there.

MAY: Yeah, but there’s nothing I want.

May leans on the kitchen counter, now carrying a strong thinking face.

CLARISSA: It’s safe to assume that last night you didn’t sleep well either?

May nods.

MAY: It’s going on six days now that I’ve barely been able to get a lick of real sleep.

CLARISSA: Wanna talk about it?

May shrugs her shoulders.

MAY: What is there to talk about?

CLARISSA: Your past. That has to be what is bothering you.

May thinks shortly into this.

MAY: I’m not sure anymore.

May looks at the watch on her wrist.

MAY: I picked up an extra client though, so I guess I’ll get ready for that.

May grabs her backpack and her keys and heads for the front door.

MAY: I’m skipping breakfast today. I’ll be going to the grocery store later. Just send me a list if you want something.

Clarissa nods, stuffing her mouth with more of her bagel. The sound of the front door closing is heard in Clarissa’s background.

Chapter ??

INT. CAFÉ — MORNING

May sits down at a table by herself, opening her laptop. The café is semi empty, with only a handful of workers at the front.

May gets a nice view out the window, before a video chat request comes in on her laptop. May accepts.

Appearing on the screen, is her friend Zeon, a man who’s thirty-one years of age.

ZEON: Catch you at a bad time?

MAY: I wouldn’t say that. But I do have a meeting in a few minutes, so I can’t be on here long with you. Why, what’s up?

ZEON: Well, I haven’t heard from you in a few days. I was starting to worry.

MAY: Sorry. I’ve just been in my head a lot.

ZEON: Still aren’t sleeping?

MAY: Not really.

May rests her head on her fists.

MAY: Shit sucks. Feels like I’m falling apart, but I don’t know why.

ZEON: May, do you need –

MAY: I’m fine. I’m fine.

May ruffles her hair with both of her hands.

MAY: My sister is keeping me tons of company. She’s keeping me mentally together, so I don’t feel like I’m going to fall over the edge.

Zeon sighs.

ZEON: Ok. But before you go, I need to ask you one more thing. Have you…experienced anything weird?

MAY: Weird? No. I’ve been keeping low.

ZEON: Alright. Stay alert. Even though it’s been five years, you don’t want to chance making a single mistake. They could still be watching.

MAY: Yeah. I expect that.

ZEON: I’ll check back in with you in a few days.

May nods and the video chat ends. She sighs and sinks her head into her arms that she folds on the table.

Chapter ??

INT. CAFÉ (HOURS LATER) — EVENING

The café is now empty, and the workers are starting to clean up. May sighs and closes her laptop, packing up shortly after.

She speaks to herself.

MAY: I need a break.

EXT. LOCAL STREET — EVENING

May leaves the café and heads down the street. The streets are empty, with cars not even coming down the way.

MAY: I could get used to this peacefulness. I don’t really see this nowadays. It’s usually noisy as fuck down this way.

EXT. RIVERBANK. PARK — EVENING

May moves alongside the local Riverbank Park. Here, there isn’t anyone in sight as well. This raises an eyebrow to her.

MAY: Ok, now something isn’t right.

May moves her head back and forth, checking her surroundings carefully.

MAY: People are normally here. There’s just no way that not a single person or vehicle has been seen, and I’ve walked several blocks now, near the main road. Especially at the park around this time.

May comes to a sudden stop. Upon feeling a disturbing chill, she slowly turns around.

She’s been on the run from the League for five years now. She maintains as quiet of a life as possible. With that being said, twenty-six-year-old May, is being tracked down by a faction of assassins, who have the ability to dispose of their targets, by murdering them in their dreams. Using what they call, “Dream Magic,” May has to face manipulated nightmares, with death by dream, being death foreal.
