Poetry Pack(s): One Way Flight/Hold Me Tight Or Not

One Way Flight

Everything about you
Tells me to kiss the moon
You’re the closest I can get to this
You’re the reflection in the lake

~ Sakari

For others, it’s a countdown
For me, it’s a wish that escaped
I was just fortunate enough
To get the right genie

~ Sakari

Something deeper than a text
Something louder than a notification
I’m sipping myself to exhaustion
I use the days to tell a story

~ Sakari

I already have you
But I don’t have you
We’ve got plans to
But we can’t plan further
You came to me during my awake
But I’m dreaming of our nights

~ Sakari

I know once we get there
It’ll be everything included
You’ve already got someone to watch the kids
I’ve already got the place you can meet me

~ Sakari

Nothing seems like a sacrifice
When you’re what’s on the line
I’ll watch the clouds
Wave my old life goodbye

~ Sakari

Hold Me Tight Or Not

When I ask what you’re doing
I meant to ask if you were thinking of me
I mean do you love me
When there’s so many guys around

~ Sakari

If I was sad more often than happy
Would you believe you had this effect
Would you be cool with me acknowledging
I stress so strongly over you
I’m not the guy you can say
I can get over you

~ Sakari

Let’s never break up and mean it
Give passes to say the words in any order
There’s no chronological way
To be your lasting partner

~ Sakari

What does a kiss from you feel like
Your lips resemble face pillows
I crack under the pressure
Of feeling wonderful from you

~ Sakari

I’ve been on hiatus without you
You’re an element to my needs
An important impact on who I am
On a daily basis

~ Sakari

Can we stay indoors
For three days straight
No sunlight, just your eyes
To tell me when to wake

~ Sakari

Author’s Note: I’ve begun serializing poetry on Amazon — meaning my poetry will be completely free for all Kindle Unlimited users. I’ll be updating this series weekly, with a new part every week.

You’re the liquor I can chase
The high that I believe in
I feel you against my skin
My veins react every time

~ Sakari

A quick read of poetry for those with a longing heart.

Sex Diary (Book)

Literature By Me: 1/23/26

Fiction & Poetry for a wondering heart

Fiction Short: If Only I Was Valuable

(Alan)

I never expected a happy ending for myself.

I never did anything in my life that made me happy.

I wasn’t married and I didn’t have kids.

I was a drunk.

A nobody to society. I guess.

But as I heard the screams next door, I knew…

I knew my moments were running short.

I couldn’t scale off time.

There were no clocks in sight.

I was shocked to see around me.

They had stitched my lips shut.

I should’ve just went home.

I should’ve skipped the bar for once.

Who knows where I would have been then.

This dungeon cell was cold.

I was kept only with my underwear.

I wondered what the woman did in the other room, to be caught.

What was her life before?

Her ongoing screams didn’t tell me nothing.

The men in robes chose her over me.

I wish they would have gotten my ending over with.

Story under my 2nd pen name: Kamari L.

Author’s Notes: Kamari L. will be the pen name I go exclusive with Amazon with. I want to fit in the world of kindle as well. the best benefits for kindle, is to write for the kindle unlimited market — where tons of users already have monthly subscriptions.

This model will allow my work to be completely free to users, and give them instant access to anything I publish — DAY ONE. A market that I have been neglecting for some time now, misunderstanding that there are readers who crave literature…over there as well.

Poetry Pack: This Side Of Your Mind

I wanna dream about you every night
Otherwise, I don’t wanna be asleep

~ Sakari

You want more rest in my arms
And I’m restless without you
Doesn’t this sound like we’re connected

~ Sakari

When the candles finally go out
I’ll light some more for you
Different scents and different signals this time

~ Sakari

You’re used to being on the bottom
You’re used to being on all fours
Tonight you’re on top
I believe in you

~ Sakari

You’re upset
Let me make it up to you
You’re conflicted
Let me decide for you
I can make your mind up for you
I can cancel out the extra noise

~ Sakari

I’m not expecting anything
The lights go out when we have the time
They can stay on in the meantime
I’ll sex you to a lit room

~ Sakari

Keep benching all those guys
In your inbox, baby
Imma do nothing but reward you
When all is said and done

~ Sakari

You’re willing to wait
I’m the one that’s impatient
But you look so impressive
Why do I have to wait

~ 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

~ Sakari

Empath

My 4-part mini poetry series, Empath, is available now on Amazon. Still under my pen name, Sakari Lacross, this is a wide pen name — so there is no exclusivity.

The book is available now for 99 cents, with 60 pages of content. Poems that continue to grip at different sections of the heart.

Empath

Poetry Pack: Baby You Matter/I Heart Games With You

Poetry for a gathering heart

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

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

~ Sakari

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.

Empath: From Autumn To Saturn (Pre Order)

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

~ Sakari

Love Songs For Her Heartbreak

***

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

~ Sakari

Poem # 2

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

~ Sakari

Poem # 3

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

~ Sakari

Poem # 4

To the girl that’s tried before
You don’t have to try again
I’ll try for us both
You can wake your heart up again

~ Sakari

Poem # 5

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

~ Sakari

Poem # 6

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

~ Sakari

Poem # 7

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

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

Poetry From My Book, “SkyBird” – Strawberry Moon (Chapter)

Poem # 1

Can I be a healthy obsession

The unauthorized thoughts

That stay in her mind

~ Sakari

Poem # 2

The way she turns to face the wall

The way I picture the little light

The night scene gives her room

~ Sakari

Poem # 3

There was only once

That I took you away

We both went unnoticed

~ Sakari

Poem # 4

How bad is it going to be

When my world ends

Lying beside you

~ Sakari

Poem # 5

Every chain that once held me

Unshackled themselves

Once you reached for me

~ Sakari

Poem # 6

No one gets to

No one gets her

~ Sakari

Poem # 7

Glitter that stays on her fingers

Her attraction is magical

~ Sakari

Poem # 8

Visions that I wished matched

Her clear reflection from a small puddle

In my hands

~ Sakari

Poem # 9

There she is, drying all my night’s rain

How could I ever escape this hollow

Without her

~ Sakari

A quick read of around 40 poems. Available now on apple books for 99cent.

Close To Being With You

Extreme measures
Our resistance loses its band
We’re losing support
From one another

~ Sakari

I lose myself in moments
At the thought of you
You’re the highlight of all my secrets
If only we could have met
So much younger

~ Sakari

Do I belong here
The way they look at me
I can’t tell if it’s from interest
Or disturbance

~ Sakari

I’m out of place
I’m a shadow in a room
Full of light and life
I’m undead

~ Sakari

I used to be able to cry
Now I can’t even force it out
Unwilling and unable
My emotions disobey me

~ Sakari

Just when I wanted to give up
You needed me
And then I smiled to your smile

~ Sakari

52 Minutes Ago

All the time I want to ignore
This winter feeling in my chest
Your phone keeps you frozen
The blue light directly in your face

~ Sakari

And then you became someone else
A new form completely
I was so glad to know you
This new you

~ Sakari

Be wherever you want
I was going to meet you there in thought
Across the world wasn’t so bad
In the sky for hours to greet your hands

~ Sakari

My poetry moves from your push
The motivation I probably needed
Don’t go back into the sky, anytime soon
Don’t go back to the stars

~ Sakari

Can I be your countdown
Starting from nine
But never reaching zero
Showcasing your dimples
At the thought of me

~ Sakari

The way I’m so behind
I’m catching up with a Sagittarius
She hasn’t said a word yet
Just acknowledging me with her eyes

~ Sakari

Slow Days

When I leave my head down
I see you lifting my chin up
In the palm of your cuddle hand
Suddenly…I believe it all again

~ Sakari

No more girls
No more stress
No more trying to figure things out
No more finding myself

~ Sakari

She leaves and I find you
You leave and she sends a message
Maybe I should turn my phone off
And spend the whole day in bed

~ Sakari

Haven’t had anyone
Touch my heart and mean it
A shard in the palm of their hand
I didn’t mean it

~ Sakari

What’s to need
That’s another human being
I can’t wait for myself to pretend
That it’s all worth it another round

~ Sakari

Of course she says hi
What does that do for me
I respond and let her in
What does that do for me

~ Sakari

My Poetry Book Preview – Recoded: #1

Never Waiting To Exhale (Interlude)

Am I allowed to see you this way
Do I have your permission to daydream
To lay beside you in a summer’s field
And tell you, how much I hate the summer
***
You have a balanced look
Of ambition and amazement
I let it go, every time I exhale
No point of waiting, I exhale
No point of anxiety, I exhale
The moment I take in your image, I exhale
***
Captured, but I can’t say it enough
I never asked to be released from this trance
Who needs a soul when I have eyes
Can I just talk to your spirit instead

~ Sakari

Thank You For Being Beautiful (Interlude)

To tell you you’re beautiful
Is to tell winter it’s cold
***
To tell you you’re beautiful
Is to hold the sunlight in one’s hand
***
To tell you you’re beautiful
Is to land a shot, on a stationed target
***
It’s obvious that the wind blows during a storm
And that night is always after day
Just as I am after you, hand and foot
If you were to pass my way
***
(An inspired poem by you — thank you for being beautiful)

~ Sakari

Poetry Pack: Three Interludes – 10/20

Photo by Daniel Monteiro on Unsplash

Casual Winds (Interlude)

Who’s not picking you in their dreams?

Who’s not acknowledging every echo from your voice?

River streams to the ear

You have to be whispering somewhere close

It’s underneath my own skin

These words that I’m just saying

You have to be more than just my inspiration

But no matter what anyone else is saying

I spill portions of my heart’s potion

Thinking of you

~ Sakari

Photo by Alrick Gillard on Unsplash

Until My Days End (Interlude)

What efforts do you need

My heart has pen and paper ready

My soul has your link

I only need your permission

Does the edge of a night’s shore

Sound like a plan to you

I’m asking because my life force

Cannot sustain another year without you

After seeing that you exist

~ Sakari

Won’t Forget Your Waves (Interlude)

So jealous I’m not in your bed
Upset that I’ve caught you so late
When are you really going to bed
Can I get you to stay up late
***
Won’t change my mind if you say yes
I’ve been locked inside these thoughts for days
Like seeing you come my way isn’t natural for me
Not questioning if I can keep you in your room for days
***
Is it mine or your waves
That will lead us in direction
I want to know what I don’t know about you
I can see myself with you, in every direction

~ Sakari

Poem # 1

Every way possible

It has to be us

No matter where it goes

Can we talk a little longer

~ Sakari

Poem # 2

As long as your door never closes

As long as you’re open for invitation

As long as I can be

I’ll foreal be

~ Sakari

Poem # 3

My hopes leap

That’s how they get high

I’ve skipped my last two blunts

These are sober thoughts

~ Sakari

Poem # 4

She has to leave out of the country

She asks me do I mind

She says if I need to find someone closer for now

She understands

~ Sakari

Poem # 5

Take away beautiful dreams

And drawn-out rainy nights

Give away my senses

With blind folds around my eyes

And maybe your awareness of me

Will suddenly appear

~ Sakari

Poem # 6

Starting over

Seems like a small request

A simple response

For an effortless search

As magic touches underneath our feet

Allowing both of us to skate

On top of the 12:36am

~ Sakari

Poem # 7

They all lie

Those who said that you

Weren’t up to part

You’ve been the missing piece

A divinity remembrance

~ Sakari

Poem # 8

I cannot imagine you

Without purple flowers

Growing at your feet

You mean just that much

To my imagination

~ Sakari

Poem #9

Something to believe in

I keep seeing you in

Everything you wear and post

I keep seeing you

When I put my phone down

~ Sakari

Poem # 10

There can’t be any risks

Without caution signs

I never looked for a thing

Outside of your eyes

~ Sakari

Author Notes: I’m putting together my own e-commence store. My books, being digital products, will have their own safe haven to be in, instead of being split amongst many places. I’m taking absolute control over my career, being more of an entrepreneur than “author.”
