The dust, too, shall tire and fall And I will find The dust, too, shall tire and fall
And I will find the light

Alone once more, I face

DANCE IN THE DARK
Poems from the dead of night
by @shirleysiaton

Hot on the heels of her debut book ‘Black Cat and other poems,’ acclaimed author Shirley Siaton-Parabia invites the reader to dance with her to the myriad rhythms of life, in the transcendental hours of darkness, in her second book, ‘Dance in the Dark.’

Featuring verses on tribulation, emergence and redemption, this poetry collection came into being after one too many jaunts and musings in the dead of night. Experience a distinctive, unfiltered view through the eyes of a woman raised and reared in the unforgiving cities of the Philippines, as she journeys through a world of greed, poverty, crime and despair with determination and hope.

Scathed, imperfect and honest to the core, ‘Dance in the Dark’ is a celebration of a woman’s infallible heart and the indomitable human spirit.

BLACK CAT AND OTHER POEMS
by #ShirleySiaton

A collection of free verses written over the years in various stages of a young woman’s life, ‘Black Cat and other poems’ is a journey of self-discovery, awareness and growth. Each poem is a story culled from an existence well savored, much like a cat’s fabled nine lives. There are tales of lust, loss, melancholy, decay and awakening. The author gives her heart, body and soul to the reader bare-bones, with no inhibitions.

My new book, 'Black Cat and other poems,' is now out in paperback and ebook formats. Please visit shirleysiaton.com/blackcat or link in bio for full shopping details.

For the pain, through which I grope my way in dazed wakefulness.
