Prepare
Stretch
Then lift
Dumbells and Barbells
Up and Down
Focus and Concentrate
Let a Personal Trainer illustrate
Pain and Gain
Results will show and remain
The mirror will show the proof through the efforts
Your clothes might become loose
Body Chemistry in effect
The better you
Exercise in follow through
This is what pumping iron is all about
You probably doubt
Pumping iron will work it out.

Always there
Medicine cabinet
Like a friend
When in need
Healing process
Covering proceed
Stick on
Where belong
Medical’s blend
There are brands
No infection
Quick fix
Look no further than the bandaid
The covering like a shade
Bandaid and let heal

A Death
No grave
No Funeral
Has a name
No arrangements pure lame
Family blame
Family don’t care
Soul still in the morgue
Laying in a dresser Freezer
Legacy spread out
A house still stands
Having no demand
A neighbor still has keys
Deceased house with a neighbor can enter as he pleases
A friend disturbed
What goes around comes around
Shocked in the details
The family failed
The person is a human being, and not garbage
There will be a haunt
Unforgiven
Soul unrest
That’s the confess

You said you were going out for cigarettes, and would be right back
Hours and days passed
There was no sign of you
No phone call nor letter
That was an indication that you were cheating
A woman called and said I have your man
He doesn’t love you anymore
I found a Greyhound Bus Schedule with a departure checked off
The destination was Los Angeles, California
There was no love in our marriage the whole time we were together
We never really talked
We had nothing in common
Our entire life was nothing but lies
I found me someone who loves me
Before I wanted to confront you
I thought beware
I just didn’t care
You were like out dated shoes with no sole whatsoever
I actually told your woman that she could keep you as he was no longer needed
I can pursue a new life
We both did best that was for all of us
Our marriage had no try
I am not going to cry
No need to ask why?
All I can say is goodbye

Disturbed
It was what was said
It wasn’t how or when
It surrounded that moment
I knew I was insulted being a put down
There was no encouragement
I am a ship out in the ocean in never reaching the shore
My mind on me
Let the sunrise carry me to new journey’s
Explore what my heart deserves
Turn days into moments
My virtues have meanings
They were walked on and blown away
Felt like I didn’t belong
Wrong place always at the wrong time
Standing on the shore with so much uncertainty
Doubt set in
My assurance had no endurance
But no more
I see a better life
Full of promise
True honest
I always knew who I was
It was expressed so
No although
I am a person of prosperity
My reality
Negativity voices have loss
I am the force that rules
Can’t and won’t stop
My journey has begun
There’s no end
Horizon beyond

Encouragement from influence
Sometimes tire
No expire
Brief pause
Destined desire within the heart
Climb
Reach
Step by step devotion
The struggle
The battle
Push on
No doubt
Mission about
Inspired throughout
One step back
Becomes defeat
Takes strength
Climb and be a winner
Victory will enter

The past
Living
The life
Old Brownstone
Where life began
My Grandparent
Tenderness love
Total inspiration
Embraced aspirations
My Grandmother would often say, “Follow Heaven and you will reach devoted everlasting”
Grandson, you will be someone memorable all possible
You will see many wonders throughout your living years
Direct approach into preserver
There were tears at times
My learning was all fine
The Old Brownstone had all kinds of memories
Family love and family being family
I always believed in myself
Trustful and honor
My own inner beauty seen beyond reflection
I paid attention
My surface enriched
Holy and mellow
I am that fella
My life unlocked
Through the thorns uncertain
Removing the closed curtain
Detours and off ramps
Back on track
Pure fact
The brownstone showed me the way
I had no reason to go estray
Life is what you make it
Last chance to get it right
The thoughts day and night
Brownstone guidance
Brooklynite vibe
Fulfilled
