Celebrate a Holy Birth
Around the world on Earth
The Joy of family and friends
A Holiday not wanting to end

A night being the most
Something to boost
Sing along
Oh Night shinning bright

Hope at the center
Let the warmth of the season enter
A holiday season to see
Happy Holidays coming from me.

I HUNGER
preservationman Dec 2023
No feed
I cry
No compassion
I starve
No love
I am homeless
I grow weak
Darkness in my eyes
My body can sometimes be motionless
I get Dizzy
Drinking water is fizzy
***** and not pure
The world seems to spin in my head
Passerby’s just walk by and ignore
It’s like I am not there
I am homeless, but have dreams
I just imagine, I am off the streets and living in a house
Not sharing the streets with anyone not even a mouse
Hunger sounding loud
Stomach pains daily roar

Not easy to smile when your homeless and hungry
My tomorrows are always stuck on today of every moment
Never a pause, but always with a cause
No one knows the struggles until one feels it in reality
I feel sick at times, but no medical care to remedy
I could die on the streets
Tormented full of bitterness
Words of evil form within my tongue
My shouts to the world in feed me, but stays on starve
Rain falls feeling like a cleanse

When it is cold, the Sun brings the warmth
Never know where my tomorrow will become
Lonely on the streets
Nowhere to turn
Eating garbage of food thrown away by people and restaurants
It becomes competition between me and stray animals
Homeless becomes a reality check being survival
Hunger mounts heavy
Holding steady
All I can do is dream as that is all I have
Maybe one day I won’t be homeless and have a hearty meal
Who am I fooling?
Homeless until
Now it is just another day being welcomed on the pavement of life
Hunger always on my mind
Homeless nothing
Walking
Embracing in my own thoughts
Pavement alone to nowhere.

WHEN I DIE
preservationman Dec 2023
When I Die
Don’t cry
View me at my Funeral with appreciation
My beauty of creation
Remember how I lived a good life
My encouragement of advice
Close to the Heavenly Father
Like no other
Embrace in how I made you smile
During your hard times while
My heart I gave
At peace in my grave
Some people never gave me a time of day
Too those, I stayed astray
My life is now complete
No more surrounded with the world deceit
Never gave into defeat
Always held my head high
The reason being guided by Thy
Proud of how my life turned out
Daily as I moved about
In a positive way
Every day
Some people just don’t care
Fair is written in the air
Fulfillment made
Out of the shade into forgiveness
Heaven is my witness
Determined will
Acceleration from still
My Soul at rest
Only I can contest
Goodbye won’t be said
Until we meet again instead.

My realization of Miracle on 34th Street that came to life
My years working for Macy’s Corporate at the Flagship Herald Square Tower
It was the Macy’s and Gimbel’s competitive era
The miracle started with Macy’s was planning a big advertising campaign
The story begins with a Macy’s Buyer and Gimbel’s Buyer having lunch
Both Buyers asked the same question of what was happening at both companies
Macy’s and Gimbel’s were foes
Being both dominance on Herald Square back then, and Macy’s still is
They always had to outdo the other
As it turned out, the Macy’s Buyer told the Gimbel’s Buyer exactly what was happening at Macy’s
So how, Gimbels heard about the advertising campaign that Macy’s was going to illustrate
For Gimbels that was an appreciate
Strategy beat to the punch
Gimbel’s presented Macy’s advertising campaign making it there’s
This made Mr. Edward Finkelstein, Macy’s former CEO President frustrated
Mr. Finkelstein had another theory with another idea
Counter attack being that Mr. Finkelstein had someone spy on Gimbel’s to see what they were planning
Ready, aim and observe

Gimbel’s had their plan so sophisticated and complex that Macy’s own couldn’t figure out, but presented only a portion the best they could
The Gimbel’s plan didn’t come out the way Macy’s encountered
Macy’s loss on that score
Later that morning at precisely 10:00 am, Mr. Finkelstein had email sent to everyone at Macy’s that we are not to discuss any Macy’s business with Gimbel’s
Miracle defeat in devastation of disappointment
Nonetheless, miracle seen through both companies of Macy’s and Gimbel’s
My yesteryear back
I worked in Mr. Edward Finkelstein’s Executive Office at one time assisting Veronica, Mr. Finkelstein’s Secretary in various Typing projects
I took a Typing test at Macy’s and tested at 95 words per minute with only made on error
Because of that, I was asked from time to time to assist in his office
M. Edward Finkelstein is deceased
Miracle through being competitive
My history in exploring
My story
Miracles have it for all to remember
They can happen anywhere
Miracle on 34th Street
Upbeat and neat

TELEVISION FRANTIC
preservationman Nov 2023
TV on
You yawn
You are always being watched
Bed or Couch
The TV always has eyes on you
You are the view
You keep falling asleep
The TV alive and woke
As the TV, I am watching you turn over
You are never under a cover
You often snore
That I can assure
You always miss what the TV is showing
You are too busy snoring
You blame the TV
Yet your eyes are always closed
Deep sleep
Your own soul to keep
The TV tells you goodnight
You suddenly turn off the light
All I can say daily, sleep tight.

Up the ladder to a place
Show me the way
Lead me to piano swing
Rhythm light into music rise

SHOPPING BAGS OF LAUGHS
preservationman Nov 2023
Walking down the street of NYC Madison Avenue
You have no idea in what I went through
I won’t even give you a clue
Heading towards LIRR, Long Island Railroad Grand Central Station
Suddenly caught off guard
All three bags came to a rip
It’s a wonder I didn’t slip
My merchandise went flying to the ground
Light to slimming darkness skies was coming
Oh no being my sound
It was a Believe it or not moment
But on the other hand, maybe America’s Funniest Videos situation
None the less, I was in a circumstance
Laughs were on me
For everybody to see
Those shopping bags were a joke
I was the victim in poke
People passed by me with no help
Luckily, I was near my Buddy’s shop, who is a Manager at a Men’s Store
He helped me out and I was able to move about
That day, I will never forget
The rips being my regret
My thought, why me?
What was suppose too be a holiday adventure
I became the venture
Rips with fails
This ends my story tail.

ALONE AND BLESSED
preservationman Nov 2023
My current life
A Mother who didn’t care
Inspired individual accord
Guided daily by the Lord
I stand on God’s promise
A Mother not honest
Unassured of herself
Marked me for Death
Heaven said, “You have time left”
Storms filtered
Loss in my own valley aiming for the top
It was a hard climb mountain with no stop
Endurance gave me strength
Aim became a determined reach
The experience was a teach
Inspired ready
Focused steady
No Mother can ever wonder
Teachings came yonder
Tomorrow became today in every way
Truly blessed
People will always have a say
I am ok
I am at where I belong
True friend always at the end
Goodness being the blend
I know I can
Living is a transcend
Inspired life

Your footsteps will be carrying you
Every pursuit an adventure
Reflections like a everlasting picture

We have a reason to sing
We are doing our thing
Turkey dash
Oven free
We are traveling carefree
How noble and superior

Turkey’s everywhere asked Greyhound to help them escape
We are not moving like an ape

Away from any knife and fork
Dinner tables try eating pork
This is a Turkey getaway
That Ax is not coming nowhere near our way
The Greyhound bus is forever our friend
From beginning to end
Greyhound Bus Turkey wheels in keep on rolling
Passing dinner tables by
Our distances are far
We don’t need a car
Turkey eating a turnoff
Sunrise to Sunset
Turkeys are saying, “We have pushed away in a determined getaway”
We will not be considered Turkey Day
We don’t care what anybody says

Hi up there in the surface
This is the valley below
How did you reach the surface?
Determination would have to be obvious
It took everything you had in endurance
Your own inspiration was the influence
A desire you knew you had to fulfill
It took a strong will
Perhaps even a sleeping pill
For courage you see
Valleys sometimes people never get out
Figure that one as you are moving about
Purpose must sit in
That is surfacing begins
No cultivate
Reality in relate
Valleys are circumstances being hard knock challengers
Valleys made you ready
Understanding that held steady
No time to fail
Just a smooth surface sail
Valleys are what start the trail
One becomes prepared with a strategy
Valleys out and surfaces in

You made wrong decisions in your life
Do you understand in reasoning?
You thought you didn’t need advice
It is now a regret
Life experiences becomes a lesson of pitfalls to avoid
Have you truly learned?
You saw your mirror reflection
Did you see what needs to be changed?
You saw the beauty of you, but does your personality match up
Knowledge is the key to success
Do you believe in yourself in what you can do in achieving through efforts
You keep saying you know
Does understanding ring a bell in your mind?
Life is what a person makes it
It’s not complaining and doubt
Thinking of resolution in how uncertainty will be worked out

You spoke
But told a lie
You couldn’t keep your mouth shut
The words were always but
You couldn’t look into eye to eye
There was always a why
Your tongue gave you away
You do this everyday
You speak, but no truth
This is since your youth
What one does is
Your mouth is out of control
You need to know in how to take hold
Straight out twisted
Just like noodles
Many directions having no destinations of logic
No specific understanding
Where thought and gesture flow
That’s how people will know
It’s a proven show
Putting your mouth in the know.

THE DEAD SHALL RISE
preservationman Oct 2023
October 30 Midnight
One by one from all graves will rise
Spirits will roam the streets
Flesh will be their avenues
Stars will hide and not twinkle
Blood ******* craves
No time to act brave
Boneless detail
There will be knocks at all doors
Dare not open
You have been warned
Death will come to living life
Take heed to the advice
Screams will be censored
Time will accelerate even faster with no reverse
Souls will walk and stalk
The Moon will smarter and disappear
Thrills and chills
Your body will feel uneasy and eerie
Temperatures will rise
Fright through the night
If you survive
Moments upon moments
No pause
You try to run
You get nowhere
Time is not your side
Tormented
Souls get what they want
It’s the human flesh regret
Dare to cross
Entered everlasting
Last breath
No chance
No escape
Death be upon you
Your grave is ready
Buried until
No longer among

WISDOMIZED
preservationman Oct 2023
Legacy coming from the senior population
My Grandmother being the illustration
The encouragement I got
Sometimes discipline in like it or not
My Grandmother always had my back
I thank her for that
Spiritual moment of praying
Other times when I am going through a struggle
All the time loving hugs
My Grandmother was my inspiration
Directing me always where I need to be
Even though she is in Heaven, her spirit always come down
I still hear her words, “You are doing just fine
My words of wisdom guiding you each and every day
Follow my footsteps being the foundation I left
I feel her force with my every moment
Her wisdom is within me
Strong character with endurance
My Grandmother’s words with sound assurance
My influence
Her legacy is truly guiding me
Taught through experience
I represent a senior today being me
I lived a senior to be
Senior Adviser, thank you for your wisdom you always shared
It came with loving and care
Enriched Faith
Every length
Day and Night talks
Blessings
I am living among
Showing me my own possibilities
Senior thought
Wisdomized straight out
Best lesson ever

WRITER TO WRITER
preservationman Oct 2023
Dear Writer:

Feel alone?
Trapped in your own spider web
You would rather not get up, but stay in bed
Other things are on your mind instead
First thing you need to do is get up
Think on you
Let writing make you pursue
As a Writer to Writer
This is our wordy hood to encourage one another
Words will be your escort
Sentences the influence port
Let your heart and mind guide you to what to say, and how to say it
Your emotions are the background
From time to time, you will get writer’s block
Keep inspired and don’t stop
Stay on top
Focus and believe in yourself
No one is going to believe in you unless you do
Focus, Imagine and expect
You are the one that will be the effect
Contemporary is your out of the ordinary
What you think can be your very write
Fear doesn’t have to be a plight
It doesn’t matter, you can write day and night
You are a writer without being told
You step out with courage and being bold
You are your own voice of tell
Your mind is telling you shall
Now that the encouragement process has taken place
Start to write
Feel the words
Don’t stop until complete
Never give into defeat
What could sound so neat
Words and sentences have inspired
Now write and don’t tire.

BATDOG

Roaming the streets
Combing the Avenues and Alley ways
Gotham protection
Looking for any paw prints and human sense
Fighting villain crimes
Keen observation

Stealing all dog food brands leading to the biggest caper of Golden Doggie statue worth millions in his fortune

Paw here and bite there
It didn’t take long until Husky was out matched and was taken into custody
Batdog won out
Batdog is always searching for suspicious behavior
Gotham City
To villains, what a pity
Why Gotham City?

TOMORROW IS TOMORROW
preservationman Oct 2023
Today is the moment
Tomorrow is a day in what you learned yesterday
Seeming far
Yet will come
Will I see?
Uncertain with a let be
There is a tomorrow
Continuous throughout
It will sometimes come with sorrow
Circumstances of all kinds of situations
Yesterday the preparations
Surface with a rise
Actions like a surprise
Purpose within reason
To-mor-row
Arrived
A what might with a could be.

BALLPOINT PEN
preservationman Oct 2023
Follow the ballpoint pen
You are entering fulfillment
Possibilities at its best
Sometimes the mind of confess
A need to proceed
Inner creed
Long term to short term
Alpha letter by alpha letter
What could be better
To be or not
Bulls eye target
A thought on the dot
Journey in and think it out
Ballpoint pen being the solid foundation
Guidance throughout the illustration.
