My Second Book Of Lyric Poetry, “Ten” Is Being Released One Year To The Date In Which I Published “Once”.

Tomorrow I am releasing my second book of lyric poetry. It is named “Ten”, and it is entirely in English.

It is the companion book to “Once”, the book I published around this time last year. The events described in “Ten” take place one year before the ones set down in “Once”.

Expect plenty more posts about these two books. In the meantime, I would like to share some poems from “Ten” with you.

Enjoy!

Dance Across The Moonlight

There’s a cessation in my heart I seem to eternize
And there’s an eternity I can never realize
And I move across the silence that keeps me company
And you dance across the moonlight arisen in the sea

And I close my eyes to see you

There’s a question in my heart I seem to perpetuate
And there’s a perpetuation I can never abate
And I move across the silence winged by celerity
And you dance across the moonlight arisen in the sea

And I close my eyes to see you

There’s a disunity in my heart I seem to prolong
And there’s a prolongation I can never bear along
And I move across the silence that binds you close to me
And you dance across the moonlight arisen in the sea

And I close my eyes to see you

Here

Chasing meretricious rainbows I came in here
Knowing there was no promise to reclaim in here
Embosoming the shame in here
Within my devotion
Just like an emotion

That I never bothered to restrain or impede
And what you never expressed was all I would heed

Chasing deleterious dreams I strolled in here
Knowing I would regret it all I bowled in here
Treasuring the fool’s gold in here
Reinforced by the thrill
Of pleonasms shrill

That I never bothered to restrain or impede
And what you never expressed was all I would heed

And I simply thought of you without thinking twice
And what you never gave was all that would suffice

The Lingering Farewell

It might be us – but we can’t be certain
We are simply a chance away
Nothing but a chance away
Too much binds us together for too much binds us apart
The sky falls down like a jagged curtain
And our fingertips dance away
In a lingering farewell of a silence of the heart

We are here – and we poise upon the wind
We are simply a dream away
Nothing but a dream away
Too much binds us together for too much binds us apart
There are feelings we won’t ever rescind
Yet our fingertips stream away
In a lingering farewell of a silence of the heart

And what never formed dissolves – but not quite
We are simply a why away
Nothing but a why away
Too much binds us together for too much binds us apart
There is a fire in the eyes of the night
But our fingertips die away
In a lingering farewell of a silence of the heart
