Between the shadow and the soul

"Somewhere between the ache of longing and the hush of acceptance, between what lingers and what lets go, lives a space where the shadow touches the soul.

Inspired by Pablo Neruda’s immortal verse, this evocative collection of sixty-one poems delves into the tangled threads of love, life, and loss—three elemental forces that define the human experience. Just as shadow and soul coexist—distinct yet inseparable—so too love and loss, shaping our emotional landscape.

Raw, lyrical, and deeply intimate, these poems serve as a mirror to our inner world, capturing the full arc of human emotion. Each poem is a soft exhale, a pause between heartbeats, a whisper left behind by memory. From passion to heartbreak, reflection to resilience, this collection invites you to sit with your feelings, to see yourself in its verses, and to find beauty, even in sorrow.

A tender and honest portrayal of what it means to stumble, soar, and survive, Between the Shadow and the Soul is a poetic offering for anyone who has ever loved deeply, hurt silently, and kept going anyway."
