Synopsis

Close to Your Light is a poetic journey that travels through love in all its dimensions: from the wonder of the first encounter to the certainty of a shared life, from the heart’s expansion toward loved ones to the pain of absence and the hope of reunion.

One hundred and eight poems make up this logbook of the soul, written from the deepest honesty and the most sincere vulnerability. And in this way, it speaks to everyone.

The book is organized in a narrative arc that mirrors life itself:

The First Spark: love that is born, the wonder, the light that changes everything.
The Everyday Dance: love that settles into routine, into small gestures, into shared certainty.
The World Expands: love that opens toward friends, toward the mother, toward children, toward family.
The Weight of Absence: the pain of loss, the storm, the melancholy.
Return to the Light: hope reborn, gratitude that remains, love that transcends time.

Throughout these pages, the reader will find the reflection of their own experiences: the excitement of the first encounter, the tenderness of shared routine, the pain of absence, the joy of reunion. They will find the mother, the son, the friend, the beloved. Above all, they will find the light sought from dawn to dusk.

It does not seek to dazzle with impossible metaphors or flawless structures. It seeks, simply, to tell the truth. The truth of a man who has loved, who has lost, who has waited, who has been grateful. The truth that love, with all its complexity, fits whole in a kiss, in a smile, in the aroma of shared coffee.

Close to Your Light is, ultimately, a declaration of principles: gratitude as compass, love as destiny, hope as fuel. A book that does not fear vulnerability, that is not ashamed of its tears, that does not renounce joy.

“The soul has no color. But you paint it all.”

Who this book is written for:

For those who love and do not know how to say it. For those who have lost and seek comfort. For those who have found and celebrate. For those who wait. For those who give thanks. For everyone who, like the author, believes that life, with all its storms, is beautiful.
