Title: The Poet's Dream
Description: I finally put together the words from my life as a child, teenager, and an adult. The book starts off with the poem "Keep Moving" that tells about my relationship with a young lady. Loneliness is described in "Alone with No One." Struggling with lustful temptation while trying to believe in a higher power is dealt with in "Be One with God." When you read the poem "Emotionally," you will see my life as a young teenager who was abused physically by a step-father-figure who did not love me. Through the poem "Physical Body of a Man," you will understand some of the hurt and pain I suffered. When you read "The Child-like Star," you will understand the words "ghetto fame." When you read "A Muse For Jerry," you will read an excerpt of my autobiography.
