The Deluge, and Other Poems

A striking entry opens the collection with “The Deluge,” a lyrical drama that weaves biblical echo — the “Sons of God” line from Genesis — into a haunting dialogue between a wife, her mother, and a nameless seeker. Their verses swirl around love’s darkness, a sense of looming dread, and the paradox of happiness that feels almost sinful. The language is richly musical, the characters speaking in overlapping song‑like passages that invite listeners to feel the tension between desire and the weight of unseen forces.

The rest of the volume follows the same vivid imagination, moving through concise poems and longer meditations that explore myth, nature, and intimate human moments. Each piece balances the sensual with the spiritual, offering moments of quiet wonder alongside urgent questioning. Listeners will be drawn in by the seamless blend of ancient allusion and personal confession, finding a resonant soundtrack for the timeless search for meaning, love, and the mysteries that linger just beyond the veil.
