A Life Beside Yours

About the Book

This is a book of puzzles; every page is a puzzle with pieces you have to put together. You have to read in-between the lines, and sometimes you just need to read the lines. It’s not something you may pick up to read from front to back in one sitting, every poem is a different mood, thought, or situation. I expect there will be a couple of poems that you read everyday, for words of encouragement, or whatever it may be, at the very least they’ll put a smile on your face. Everything I have to say about this book is pretty much in the book, but I will stress one thing: You’re not alone, whatever you can relate to I’ve already been through it, and if there’s nothing else you take from this book. I want you to come out with the understanding that you’re not alone, somewhere in this world others are going through the same thing, we will get through it; you will get through it.

About the Author

Well, I reside in Brampton a young city in Ontario, Canada. I was born in 1981, I’m a young man. But I do like to have my time alone, and I’ve acquired a lot of knowledge from my teachers. And there’s a very special young boy who keeps me inspired, my son Jemar. My parents push me to do better, well they just push me, and I want to get away, so I work my hardest! I have a brother and you might as well say he’s my best friend as well. I live a simple life, but walk in a complicated one. I’ve been published internationally in the UK, as well as across the border in the United States. My poems are shown world wide in several Anthology’s, and recorded on Poetry CD Collections. I’ve been awarded editor’s choice by the International Society of Poetry, and have been named Poetry Ambassador for 2006 and 2007. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep sharing my art with others I enjoy sports, all facets. Classical and Jazz music allow me to think freely. Where do some of these thoughts come from? I have no idea. I want to do more than just live, I want to affect life!

I am nothing like my family, but I’m everything they stand for: Love, Honor, and Respect.
