About This Book

A sequence of lyrical poems traces yearning, memory, and mourning through romantic and spiritual images, shifting between dreams, maritime and bridal metaphors, and encounters with absence and the dead. The speaker alternates between ardent declaration, shame and repentance, and stoic acceptance, exploring sacrifice, fidelity, and the persistence of love beyond loss. The collection moves from intimate inward confession to universal meditations on art, memory, and final reconciliation, often ending in quiet envoy-like reflections on reunion or solitude.
