    About this ebook

    A mesmerizing journey into the depths of love, Letters to the Muse III offers the very real possibility of realizing true love on earth, while retaining loves beautiful mystery. This collection is both personal and impersonal in its approach to the poetic muse. The personal poems describe how she appears to Nalkur in real life, while the impersonal poems delve into the deeper and higher aspects of her personality.

    Take, for instance, this excerpt from A Spiritual Relationship:
    Her footprints bore upon the sands
    Of her timeless walk
    Across to where the hermit sang
    And to her spirit talked,
    Welcoming her presence in
    His life no more adrift
    With the winds of chance, romance
    His spirit came to lift.
    She settled by his side, her grace
    Gentle and so kind
    Was the hand upon his face
    Of tears that silenced mind;
    His grief exploded in relief
    To know she never left
    Him alone upon the beach
    Where separation wept.

    The final volume of this trilogy, these poetic forays focus on Nalkurs vision of the future of his relationship with the muse, the first having covered the past and the second the present. Through this third collection, the poet hopes to achieve a fusion of both human and divine elements of the male-female attraction as an expression of true love.
