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.

TO JUNE

June dreams.
The twilight world’s a-hush,
The meadows flame with colors from a master’s brush,
And in my garden roses droop and blush;
June sleeps and dreams.
The singing wind blows gently through her sleep,
While friendly, fragrant shadows keep
Their vigils, beautiful and deep,
With June, who dreams.
Communion with my watching heart I hold,
Until the day comes to unfold
Her laughing hours, steeped in gold,
For June, who dreams.
