Spanning nearly two decades of writing, Petals & Ashes is a collection of poems that trace the fragile arc of love — from its first spark, through its highs and fractures, to the quiet that follows.
 
Each chapter unfolds like a season: Petals capture beginnings, beauty, and the elation of being seen; Ashes gather the remnants of heartbreak, sacrifice, and endings. Together, they tell a story of desire, devastation, and resilience — the ways we fall apart, and the ways we piece ourselves back together.
Written with candor and lyrical intensity, these poems reflect both personal experience and universal truth. At once intimate and expansive, Petals & Ashes invites the reader into the rawness of first love, the ache of betrayal, and the hard-won clarity that comes after loss.
 
Perfect for anyone who has loved deeply, lost painfully, or sought meaning in the aftermath, this collection reminds us that even in the ashes, beauty can be found.
