'Twixt Earth and Stars: Poems

A volume of lyric poems exploring longing, unrequited love, and memory through nature imagery and devotional motifs. Many short pieces address yearning and romantic devotion, using roses, gardens, birds, and weather to convey emotional states; others turn to prayer, confession, and contemplations of death and consolation. The tone moves between ardent passion, lament, and wistful reminiscence, with occasional triumphant affirmation of love's endurance. Structure is varied: brief songs and pastoral vignettes sit beside reflective monologues and meditative pieces, emphasizing sensory detail and lyrical cadence.
