Historically, the Black Book has meant different things to different people. Generally speaking, it was a book of secrets.

As you unpack my "Secrets" while walking down the streets of my mind, you will see glimpses of my choices, hopes, dreams, fears, anxieties and aspirations.

My hope is that you will find a gem that you could use in your own life or inspire you creatively. I challenge you to find new ways to express yourself other than those you are accustomed to.

Embark on this journey into my historical and present-day mind, get your fix for my words rhythmically sown together - My Poetry.

The Black book of Poetry - A Black Mans Journey through Love, Pleasure and Pain - is a culmination of poems spanning over 30 years. Each poem was written by a different me, at various points and situations throughout my life. I take you on a journey of Love, Loss, Pleasure, Pain and my many insights. In all humility, if you are seeking poetic mastery, you won't find it here, what you will find is Poetic Vulnerability, honesty and my truth.

Included are

• Poems on love
• Poems on relationships
• Poems on grief and loss
• Poems on healing
