About the Book Intended to catalog the best of my years of writing, this book was inspired by a Higher Source. I literally wrote as the words came to me. There are poems of reflection on childhood while living in St. Croix. Poems about love, blues and medicine have their own dedicated series.

Sample Excerpt

I Miss that Love

Back home,
I yearn for the loving fat-backed,
wide like a grandma's bosom
or a garland of flowers picked
from mother's garden worn
around my neck and a bird comes
close to me hungry for love's nectar.
