Dedicated to those of us who encountered a broken heart
*******************************************************************************************************************************
Tears In A Bottle

Drying my eyes from another crying episode
Trying to get myself out of this pitiful, depressing mode
Has left me feeling numb, with a bad taste in my mouth
And with nowhere to turn, and no one to hear me when I shout

But how can they hear me when I am shouting in silence?
Where must I go to get back my confidence?
When will I get back to the point of authority?
I have searched, and could not find a pill for what ails me

All my tears were shed in the same place
Where I cried so hard the tears began to burn my face
My eyes have changed color since my tears started to flow
All these tears, and still, no one knows

Knows the depth of my pain
Nor the path of my tear stains
Everything looks different but remains the same
Complicated with the fear of starting over again

I know putting my heart back together won’t be easy
Because I didn’t give a portion of my heart, I gave it all, completely
So I know I am taking a chance by going back out there
Back to the place that caused these never ending tears

Trying to start over my heart tells me I am heading for trouble
And to be careful not to place all my cards on the table
Learning from my past I know love will always be a gamble
At least that is what I feel, when I look at tears floating in a bottle



If you are concerned about Domestic Violence, Deadbeat Dads, Teenage Suicide, Broken Hearts, and Single Mothers struggling to make ends meet. There is no reason you should not get this book. This book has it all. You will not find a book this powerful anywhere. Your tissue box will be empty half way through this book. A New Horizon is one of a kind. You will not be disappointed after reading these poetic stories.

Bob Marley wasn't as great as poeple said he was* This is my answer to that statement

To answer the statement made by Reggae artist Buju Banton on the release of his new album

Rasta Got Soul

I have placed my comments in this blog which will follow Buju Banton's statement. Here is the article



******************************************************************************

Banton respects Marley’s music but argued that calling him the greatest logically implies that no better can follow.



“I want Jamaican music to be seen not through… Continue

Before My Candle Goes Out

Before My Candle Goes Out

A stoetry written to uplift and inspire



This stoetry was written as a favor to my friend, he wanted me to write something uplifting. He read the finished product and was highly impressed. To my friends and fans of ISEECOLOR because of your continued words of encouragement I am constantly thinking of ways to make the work of “blessing people” with my words more interesting. I want to make sure that I speak about topics that relates to the… Continue

It's Not Poetry, It's Stoetry

It’s Not Poetry, It’s “Stoetry”



Definition of Stoetry: Real life stories written in poetic form.



This is a note to all my friends and fans of Poetpreacher’s poetry (Stoetry)

As many of you have express fondness for my Stoetry. I have decided to create a whole

new genre. Though the work I am doing is considered to be poetry I have never felt comfortable calling it poetry. When I saw the effects that my words were having on people, I Knew this was more than poetry.… Continue

Boys Growing Up Without Father's

Visions From A Curious Boy



He wasn’t there to teach me how to shave, so I had to teach myself. I could never get the right line for my mustache. My mother tries to be macho at times to try and fill in the void that he created. As I grew older and looking back at those days, I respect her even more. When some mothers would say “ Leave that kind of thing for the men in the neighborhood to teach him”, she would make the effort to instill in me what it means to be a man. I have… Continue

This Is My Comment On Today's Radio Show Regarding Domestic Violence

As a Preacher and a domestic violence activist, this is a subject that is close to my heart. First off, for any preacher who claims to be called by God and believes that it is ok to beat their spouse to keep them in place, needs to leave the church. In saying that, I have heard of women who are married to Ministers who will not leave their abusive spouse because the preacher would misquote the Bible, telling these women that God is against divorce. I have seen prominent preacher on national… Continue

Keep up the great work, i too am striving to make my voice heard in the area of domestic violence. Because i am just coming to terms that i have survived it is taking me a while to get going but i know my purpose and mission awaits. I aim to do God's will.

I liked that. Its refreshing to find a man that can be honest about feelings and express them in such a unique and touching way. We all have been down that road at least once. I try to tell myself, that one must kiss a lot of frogs to find the prince.... I am ready for my Prince Charming and for us to live happily ever after but I will continue to be patient. Wish me luck :) Kimaada
