The ride to the lady, and other poems

A vivid tapestry of lyrical visions unfurls, weaving medieval urgency with tender reverie. The opening poem drifts through a fevered ride toward an unseen lady, its cadence echoing clashing armor and the hush of an approaching dusk. Across the volume, the poet explores love’s fragile bloom, the quiet march of death, and the mythic pulse of nature, each piece a distinct yet resonant voice.

Listeners will find the collection’s language both richly textured and surprisingly accessible, inviting moments of quiet reflection and sudden, vivid imagination. The shifting moods— from the solemn solemnity of “The First Guest” to the playful cadence of “The Spring Beauties”—keep the experience fresh from start to finish. It’s a journey through heart‑beats, star‑lit skies, and whispered prayers, perfect for those who cherish poetry that sings both the grand and the intimate.
