This book is a collection of poems capturing reflections on love. It features three chapters that categorize love into different phases of the loving process.

The book understands love as a universal feeling. Therefore, it explores different types and natures of love—reckless, gentle, forbidden, sinful, comforting, and more. It offers a raw and unfiltered exploration of what it means to love and be loved.

Rather than offering a single definition of love, these poems explore its many forms. The collection captures love’s intensity, its subtleties, and its persistence over time.

my light

you're very easy to love,

much harder to hold,

and yet—

completely impossible to leave behind.

kind of perfect

i think you’re a little bit crazy,

but i believe that’s a quality

everyone lacks

on their way to perfection

“do you think i’m perfect?”

i think you’re crazy enough, yes.

on moderation

my lack of moderation

has been called obsessiveness—

oh, honey,

i could teach you a thing or two

about the sweet taste

of devotion.
