Foreword

This book was the most rewarding poetry book that I had ever written in my career thus far.It taught me to look at the world around and not just write about myself.

This was also the quickest that I have ever written a book.In Sorrow And Song, took me a year to complete. Hitchhiking Down Life's Highway, took 2 years to complete. Even for my forthcoming children's book Lacy Gracie & Tawn:Learn About Themselves, the writing of it took 7 months to complete.This book took only 1 month to complete, which is an awesome blessing.I was equipt with just my cellphone and with the words that God gave me to write.

This poetry book is about love and the relationships of human kind.With the title poem I am reflecting on a love that reaches beyond comprehention.With the poems Just A Memory and Tragic Icon,I am reflecting on the recent death of Amy Winehouse.

I am also reflecting on the economy with the poem Economic Depression.

The future is also being reflected upon in the poems 2012 (is this the end) and The Future

In this book I also introduce my first collaborative poem titled Poetic Conversation On High Street with my good friend Ajahmin Frazier aka KB.

This book is anoher journey in to my soul.I hope that you all enjoy reading it as I enjoyed creating it.
