About This Book

A collection of lyric poems organized into thematic sections that dwell on natural landscapes, seasonal change, and intimate emotion. Short, image-driven pieces range from moonlit nights and coastal scenes to autumnal boulevards and secluded woods, often pairing precise sensory detail with reflections on longing, love, memory, and mortality. Portraits of individuals and quiet elegies appear alongside meditations on stars and tides, producing a restrained, musical voice that emphasizes transience and beauty through concise, resonant language.

Let It Be You

Let it be you who lean above me

On my last day,

Let it be you who shut my eyelids

Forever and aye.

Say a “Good-night” as you have said it

All of these years,

With the old look, with the old whisper

And without tears.

You will know then all that in silence

You always knew,

Though I have loved, I loved no other

As I love you.
