The Songs of Soul by Khan Eagle is a beautifully written poetry book. From the first poem you can feel the depth and breadth of love. You can feel and almost touch the passion that the author has poured out on each and every page. The poems cover many aspects of life; love, happiness, patience, of how not being bound to fears can set you free.

Khan speaks much about nature, and embraces the power and strength of nature to beautifully and intricately describe life and love. As I read each poem I can feel that I am being lured into them, carried away for the moment from current surroundings. I can feel them drawing me, calling me into a deeper relationship with love, with nature. Each poem catches your heart and offers you a moment of sheer bliss with some having a sensual flavour to them. Khan’s words drip like honey from the lips, they are both soothing and uplifting and come from the heart. As I read each poem, I feel that Khan is very much in touch with his soul, his poetry is a love letter to nature, to life, to all readers.

The poems are written to enable us all to reconnect with that special feeling, to reconnect with nature and with ourselves, they stir up longing, desire, hope, passion. Yet, Khan also elegantly encompasses loss and grief beautifully to balance out the truth of life which is that to embrace joy and happiness we must be willing to accept loss and grief too, for both states are on the same emotional spectrum, just at different ends, but what would life be if we were not willing and open to embrace and experience the whole spectrum?

For me, this is a beautifully written and heartfelt book of poetry, and I would certainly recommend purchasing it. It is easy to read, presented well, and leaves you with a distinct feeling that you have just reconnected with yourself and life.
