I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I loved being in the city. When I met James we both had the love of the city. We both knew how to survive the urban jungle. Jimmy and I were very similar, but when we came together it was all physical. He was a young man and I was an older young woman. I had been married and had children and had been around. It could have been an ego thing on his part. He wanted me and he set out to see if he could get me. I could have been ego tripping by wanting to see if I could attract a much younger man. But, even though it was a tumultuous love affair, we fell in love with each other. But, it wasn't a conventional relationship. We were passionate for each other but wanted to experience different things. Unfortunately, we were not going to grow with each other in matrimony, but his love was strong enough to save me from the same fate that he was going to face.

Poetry is the art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts. Free verse is a literary device that can be defined as poetry that is free from limitations of regular meter or rhythm and does not rhyme with fixed forms. Such poems are without rhythms and rhyme schemes; do not follow regular rhyme scheme rules and still provide artistic expression. In this way, the poet can give his/her own shape to a poem how he/she desires. However, it still allows poets to move forward using alliteration, rhyme, cadences or rhythms to get the effects that they consider are suitable for the piece. Using free verse, forward is the direction in which the author strives to move. Stephen constantly examines and then reexamines the sources of his personal spirituality. God, love, life and death are his positive daily inspirations. He is also inspired by negativity, that is often directed towards his handicaps. These slights, whether real or imagined and by friend and foe alike, are perceived as challenges that have resulted in many pieces of writing. In the year 2000, at the age of twelve, Stephen recorded his first free verse poetic thoughts. They are included in "Dirt", "Friend", "Heal" and "Name". For the last fifteen years, he has continued to record his thoughts, observations and questions, while always searching for the elusive answers. Now, the year 2015 finds him contemplating topical social issues in such offerings as, "AIDS", "Gay", "Desert Slums" and "Heroes". Though the work of this poet is often strenuous and, at times, even frustrating, it is never boring. It is a creative process that is necessary to propel him forward on the journey to whatever lies ahead. In this case, it's the latest edition in his evolving literary resume. This volume puts his passion and livelihood on display for all eyes to see. It is a requiem of his dreams, that is articulated in the most poetic fashion. As a melancholy song ab

Stricken with guilt, she tries to end the illicit romance-a simple fix, she thinks-but Cedric becomes angry and threatens to expose their secret. Marshall discovers the affair and warns Cedric of the dangers, but dares not go any further because of his own little secret. Cedric ignores the warning, posing a threat to Marshall and anyone who stands between him and Milana. In Just in Case the Raindrops Fall, the race to keep secrets hidden intensifies when the unexpected occurs, testing the fiber of friendship and exposing shocking truths...

A legacy to future generations, Mediocrity in America reminds readers about the fragility of freedom. "I''ve been granted the dispensation to communicate with selected humans at will. And so, I shall draw upon my talent to warn my two loyal friends against the venomous scourge of mediocrity-the dark Trojan horse breaching our country''s soul..." In Mediocrity in America, Titan the St. Bernard presents a wealth of information regarding the effects of widespread mediocrity-offering much to consider if America is to remain one of the greatest nations on Earth. Titan weighs in on envy (as well as the other deadly sins), art and culture, and vulgarity, and offers his canine point of view on what he considers the scourge of our nation: Indifferent beings strolling through the walks of life without teaching and without learning. "The catastrophe occurs when boring citizens such as these grow to immeasurable numbers and become the majority-perfect timing for a dogmatic, narrow-minded, inflexible group to fill the vacuum and establish an encrusted, paralyzed society that will disintegrate as mediocrity becomes its bedrock." This unique and thoughtful narrative is as spot-on as it is entertaining. And Titan-a true doggy guru-is a benevolent narrator, making a compelling case against the dangers of mediocrity in America.

Every individual tends to stumble upon the blockages of their mind when it comes to finding their purpose of life. The mind intervenes and creates an illusion of thoughts and security around certain belief structures and conditionings. This book breaks the realms of the mind, and goes a step further making a clear connection with a person''s heart, and the mind by answering not only the question itself, but also making one face the source from where the question initially arose. Once the mind and heart are at peace the world surrounding a person shows the true nature that indeed is paradise. All questions will disappear thus leading an individual to experience life as it is. Many books have been written on the subject, but they tend to be a good read but miss the potential to actually make an individual realize that life was not intended to follow behind the footsteps of others, neither does life resides in leading a group. Books on spirituality achieve a type of entertainment for the mind and numb it but the key is missing in making the connective bridge between the heart and the mind. In today''s world each and every individual needs to find the inner connection in self and start a new generation of self-evolved beings for the stage that the world resides in today. The very foundation of life is shaken by the ideas of the mind. Most books propose to forget the mind, and be silent to just meditate thoughts away, shutting the mind down. This book paves a path from the mind to the heart, and creates a deeper understanding that one cannot just shut the mind out, but one can live in harmony by connecting the heart with the mind. This book is written in easy language making it easily readable without big words and terms for individuals to get lost in. It is more of a conversation within the mind and the heart thus opening new realizations towards life.

A Fascinating Story of Culture Clash in Contemporary Africa... Nsiemboh Ngoske is the most successful member of his family. Intelligent, educated, and poised on the brink of a career promotion, he has blessed his parents and siblings with wealth and comfort formerly beyond their reach. His parents, Elias and Lydia Ngoske, want to do all they can to protect and support their son. Lydia Ngoske believes in the Christian God-that wonderful heavenly Father who has so much to give, and who asks only prayer and belief of His followers. She prays fervently for protection and favor from God, but she knows that won't be enough in a world where personal agendas are advanced through the powers of the occult. She demands that her son be protected by traditional medicine, and enlists Elias Ngoske's brother, Nsanen Jude, to find the most powerful protection available. He recommends Mforme Tata, a renowned traditionalist sought after by the most influential men in the country. He agrees to give the Ngoske family what they want...but inexorable rules govern the world of the occult, and the Ngoskes find that they are given something unexpected, which neither the dark arts nor the Christian God can control. In a compelling, richly atmospheric, beautifully characterized exploration of how belief shapes destiny, God and the Gods draws you into a world of intricate ritual and family love, where one person's mistake may have irreversible consequences.
