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.

VALUES

I hear you crying for the Moon,

When she drifts proudly by,

And see you reaching for the wealth,

She scatters in the sky.

While I crave only strands of gold

That fringe your melody,

And moon-flowers growing in my heart,

When you are kind to me.
