Publisher's Synopsis
Doors to Paradise: Poems for the Soul is Ajit Sripad Rao Nalkur's fourth book of poetry, and it follows his previously published trilogy on love. His poems are an invitation for our souls to discover what lies behind each door we encounter in life. The author experienced intense joy, peace, and freedom as he wrote these poems-emotions he hopes to share with all.
The poems in this collection are arranged in chronological order and written in various rhyming styles. The poems were created as spontaneous outbursts of the soul, and in the reading of them, the author hopes that the reader's heart will similarly open and receive the emotions they convey.
Like doorways into the author's soul, Doors to Paradise: Poems for the Soul reflects the peace and contentment in his life now.
The MuseForever poised on the brink
of a poem, patiently waiting
for the Muse to rise
or fall from the skies,
the poet's eye looks out
onto the fields of paradise
left vacant of her presence.
He looks for her
in his heart and sees
that she indeed is the one thing
he needs and wants;
a window is flung open,
a door beckons, the house of the soul
welcomes him home ...
