Description

This lyrical collection explores love in its many forms: tender, sensual, playful, painful, liberating, and destructive. Through vivid images of cactus flowers, vines, birds, fire, and music, the poems consider desire as a force that can refresh the aging heart, inspire freedom, or leave lasting wounds. The language moves easily between intimate confession, philosophical reflection, and mischievous myth.

Cupid appears not as a blind child, but as a figure learning to see love more clearly—and to recognize every woman’s right to choose and be heard. Across the opening poems, affection is celebrated as a living, unruly energy that cannot be confined to a single definition or object. Listeners will find a passionate, unconventional voice, rich in rhythm and romantic imagery, balancing idealism with frank acknowledgment of lust, power, jealousy, and longing.
