DEEPER: Poems on Soul, Shadow, and Being Seen All the Way Down
“I finished this book at 3 a.m. and woke my husband up just to look at him. I realized I had been loving a version of him, not the soul of him. This collection shattered me in the most necessary way.”
Real intimacy has a vertical spine.
Most relationships live on the horizontal. We exchange updates, tasks, and pleasantries. We keep love safe by keeping it flat—close enough to touch, but too shallow to drown in.
DEEPER is the invitation to descend.
The final installment of the Initiatory Verse trilogy, this collection is a guide for the Shadow Work of partnership. It is for the lovers who are brave enough to ask the questions that usually end in Where does your beast live? What do you ache for? Can I love your darkness as much as your light?
From the harrowing grace of "The Night You Marked Me a Leper" to the ancestral healing of "We Forgave Each Other for Our Parents’ Sins", DEEPER moves beyond the body and into the soul. It navigates longing, mortality, and forgiveness not as deal-breakers, but as doorways to the divine.
It ends with the crushing, beautiful realization of "We Will Never Be This Again" —a reminder that even infinite souls get to lose each other only once.
This is Initiatory Poems for the return.
