What can I say about myself that no other man can say? I have been on this earth for the number of twenty-six years. I have seen much during this time and yet very little. I feel as though I’ve grown to understand much though I know nothing for certain. My city of birth was St. Louis, Missouri. I was told that it rained on the day of my birth. And I found it amusing later on in life to learn that an African American boy was born in a French named hospital such as DePeres. I went to school in the county but was raised in the city. My skin is dark but if you were to look closely towards my center you would see a brilliant white light. During high school I found a great capacity in me to turn that light into words. The joy it gives me, and I’m sure that of other writers as well is immeasurable. After I graduated from high school I worked odd jobs and attended Forest Park Community college for a few years before joining the Coast Guard, where I traveled the world over. My adventures, moreover my accolades, you will find in my book’s passages, as they precede through time into eternity, or earth's eventual destruction, I know not which.
A touch of warmth
A gentle gust from the wind
Tears of inspiration
Down to the earth now they descend
...
Where does true inspiration lie?
In life I ponder and death defy
As I stress the vision I long to see
I grind my teeth in dreams set free
...
To be Prolific
Is my ultimate cause
That the words in which I write
Will make others take pause
...
A gorgeous aurora of enlightenment
Rests at close but distant proximity to me
I stand before the journey
Mesmorized by the thought of it
...
The Beginning from the end
For my father I have chosen to start
The hurt that was then is now gone
Due to the power of the heart
...
