Where’s baby? Where’s baby when she’s needed Love when life wants free to be unheeded A heart broken apart needs you to be true Where’s baby when I want her Someone sweet to be complete, a heart that’s whole to fix my soul A kiss that I am gonna miss A touch so real So hungry to feel When’s baby coming back To relight my soul, illuminate the black Shine the light of love, when’s baby coming back

About the Book
The Man from Misery and Other Poems is the book that almost never was. This collection of more than two hundred inspired poems took nearly thirteen years to create, and author Brandon Hodge fought an uphill battle for publication. The Man from Misery is a rich collection of poetry from the deepest parts of the heart where poetry should start, rich with themes like hate, anger, loss, lust, life, joy, and, most of all, love. Brandon began writing short stories as a child; when he was eleven years old, he discovered poetry. Poetry comes from the heart and from inside, and Brandon is no stranger to adversity and loss. Born with a serious illness, Brandon was told he would not live to be sixteen; but he overcame lung cancer, personal tragedy, and loss to become the poet he is today. His pain and personal experience have shaped his writing as well as his life.
