Hate to love: Poems about falling and rising in love

Hate to Love is a collection of poems about intimacy, longing, desire, rupture, and the quiet aftermath of loving deeply in a fractured world. Written across several years, these poems trace the emotional arc of falling in love, sabotaging it, mourning it, and slowly learning how to survive without it.

Moving between tenderness and self-awareness, eroticism, grief, hope, and emotional distance, the collection explores modern love through the lens of trauma, insecurity, attachment, and timing. These poems do not idealise romance; instead, they sit honestly with its contradictions - wanting closeness while fearing it, craving love while doubting one's capacity to sustain it.

Hate to Love is not a promise of happily-ever-after, but a record of what love feels like when it is shaped by history, fear, and unmet needs. It is for those who love deeply, leave reluctantly, and carry the imprint of love long after it is gone.
