Here is a chapbook filled of my deeply written of my poems that came from the heart. Many of them being previously published has been graciously overwhelming to see my work like so many others like me printed so that others can see and feel inspired. I am personally inspired by my own work as well as others who has their own points of view and expressions. Yet as for those who read these poems may you enjoy them to the utmost and I truly they inspire you help constant readers feel wonderful beneath the storms of life. God bless you and enjoy!

After a disaster at an upstate New York facility when two scientists/biologists conducted tests and research dealing with cockroaches, the South Bronx later on becomes under siege. When an Infestation swarms everywhere as cockroaches reputedly go on a rampage killing everyone on sight, the borough of the South Bronx becomes a threat upon the state of New York. Although it's only in the South Bronx the horror extends globally and then soon after the cockroaches rise the end leads to an unthinkable conclusion in he human race. Will the human race survive the infestation or will the cockroaches takeover?

Here is my first collection of poetry. These poems were written between the years 2005 and 2007. Some of the poems were previously published in The Storyteller and as the poem that was written in the back of the book has appeared in the small press Creative Words with Publications. These poems are my then expressions based on how I felt and seen from observation and brief talks with people generally and also based on personal experiences. My poetry has positively affected people which I've been complimented with talent and deed. To all those who read my poetry has also supported me with great influence and motivation. I thank them all and to all those who wishes to continue reading my poetry. God bless you all!: )
