This book was written for one person - but it belongs to anyone who has ever loved.

In this intimate collection of poetry and short stories, For You, My Muse traces the full, breathtaking landscape of a heart that refuses to love halfway. From the first electric spark of recognition to the quiet devastation of unreachable longing, from the fracture of a divided heart to the fierce grace of rising after the fall, these pages follow love in all its raw, contradictory beauty.

Divided into five movements - The First Spark, The Unreachable, Half a Heart, After the Fall, and What Endures - the poems read like private letters and late-night confessions. Two short stories deepen the journey: one a tender, decades-spanning romance that proves love can be both ordinary and extraordinary; the other a haunting exploration of forbidden desire and the ghosts that refuse to stay buried.

Tender yet unflinching, romantic yet fiercely honest, For You, My Muse is a love letter to the ones who stay, the ones who leave, and the ones who live forever in the words we write about them.
