Ecstatic Musings  (Paperback, Shakil Ahmed)

The poems of this book are very impulsive and wrapped with wonder. The poet dwells in an ambiance of esoteric feelings and jots down poems of innate love enraptured with fascination. Maybe these are the poems of dejection of dismal days or craziness of starlit nights, these are the outcome of poets' own experiences of love and life. We see in many of his poems the bleeding heart of the poet pines for love piercing the veils of miseries. When the gloom of a terrific night deepens the agony of screaming nights, the poet yearns for his beloved's presence to dwell amid the breeze of euphoria. The poet soars high in the azure sky ignited by burning Passion and indites aesthetically crafted poems sparked by delightful emotion. Each verse ignites the passion of the poet's throbbing heart to a new height. The poet, here in this collection of poems, juggles with images and words that appeal to our numb senses beyond the vibes of imagination. Shakil's poetic journey is nothing but a celestial journey enthralling our minds and fabricating magical dreams. The poet invites some omniscient and visionary light to illuminate his darkened soul removing the sordid patches and longs to build a vision of life with flying colors cascading love over the parched land of this congested globe. He wants to float like breathtaking clouds over the cerulean sky upholding uprightness and morality shattering the dead and bleak thoughts of age-old time. He tries to disperse and radiate his new thoughts over the dreaming universe.
