The Hymns of a Deepman

As you flip through these pages, you’ll find your ideas about the various factors that drive your life beginning to reassemble. The collection of poems in this book defies classification into a single genre, offering instead a diverse array that lets you sample every platter of poetry known to man.

In today’s world, works of art are often undervalued. However, this collection aims to break that norm. It is an accumulation of pieces written over different years and in various situations, yet carefully tailored to encapsulate the thoughts of a man in the form of drafted words.

I hope you enjoy the scenes and embark on a journey through these verses. Though you remain behind the curtains, you have a view of the entire stage presented in this book. Open your imagination and let yourself be filled with my hymns.
