About This Book

The collection gathers lyrical and narrative poems that move between storm-borne sea voyages, winter and seasonal landscapes, and intimate meditations on love, guilt, death, and memory. Imagery is vivid and elemental—wind, ice, waves, and night recur—while voices shift from elegiac solitude to dramatic confession. Several pieces use dreamlike and mythic resonance to explore fate and remorse; others observe rural and shoreline scenes with tonal shifts from awe to foreboding. The sequence alternates compressed narrative episodes and reflective lyrics, creating an atmosphere of haunting inevitability and contemplative mourning.

LOVE.

Love came at dawn when all the world was fair, When crimson glories, bloom, and song were rife; Love came at dawn when hope’s wings fanned the air, And murmured, “I am life.”
Love came at even when the day was done, When heart and brain were tired, and slumber pressed; Love came at eve, shut out the sinking sun, And whispered, “I am rest.”
