About This Book

The volume gathers short, lyrical poems that move between intimate confession and vivid, travel-tinted scenes, often using sea, desert, and carnival imagery to evoke longing and desire. Many pieces treat love, loss, and memory with devotional or elegiac tones, transforming personal feeling into music and visual metaphor. Occasional persona poems and translated voice-poems recall distant cultures and theatrical figures, while recurring motifs—stars, fires, pools, and painted streets—anchor the collection’s contemplative mood.

MIRACLE

It is so long ago I lived,
Holding back the hours
That sped through days of golden light,
And brought me laughing showers.
It is so long ago I died
To shut my heart from pain,
And yet, you reach your hands to me,
And bid me love again.
