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.

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.


Author’s Notes: I’ll be releasing my first episodic series, known as “How Long Is Endless”. 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.
