Words into illusions
Sentences surround with no conclusions
Endless turns and circles
Emotions are in control
Mind over Matter
You have entered a point of no return
The Phenomenon Twilight Zone Poetry
The story is having letters fighting their way into sentences
Situations turning into instances
One’s mind and inner thoughts
Each letter dancing in the mind’s subconscious yelling to get out
There is so much acceleration moving about
Situations beyond worked out
Through time of with limited pause
Foreseen with a cause
Short notice at the moment
The call for structure
Words seen as a picture
It becomes the moment of truth
Letters forming words
Sentences bringing out the realize
Words and sentences finally connect in write
It was the phantom Twilight Zone spectrum
Poetry that stalked the night
It was Create and Write
I was followed by Good Night
Poetry Twilight Zone became fear with fright.

DREAMER
preservationman Sep 2021
Sleep
Journey
Far Away
Anywhere and place
Through the ridges of outer space
Acceleration against time
Theory or Fact?
The mind full of wonder
Subconscious
Mysterious
Step in and conquer out
Illumination
The Battle between one’s thoughts and emotions
Follow the equations
Surviving a drowning, but never actually reaching the surface
Death wants to come but you can never die
Defeat wants to attack, but you are surrounded by achieve and accomplish
Dream On Dream On
It’s Dawn

TEARS I CAN ONLY COUNT
preservationman Sep 2021
My time in fear
Rejection in not wanting anyone near
My tears are my experiences I saw
My mind told me to completely ignore
No flourish to soar
My tears pour heavy
They are like a Dam levy
But they are holding steady
How do I overcome?
I am surrounded by lonesome
My tears are next to none
I must step out in courage
That is the only way to nourish
Tears come at a moment’s notice
My tears show I have no confidence
It’s obvious in an instance
No matter how tears fall
I must be able and not stall
I feel more of a regret
My tears have that effect
Stop now tears
This is the right time to preserver
Encourage me and come near
My tears have drawn back
My darkness is no longer black
I am responding now in just reflect

Tomorrow is here
Today we rise
The Rock we stand

A Man named Ronald Allen
But he was best known as Ron
He worked diligently in Group 2 Maintenance of Rochdale Village
Mr. Allen was someone who would hold a conversation
He could make you laugh and himself at that same time
He had given me good advice
But his personality was ever so nice
The Cooperators of Building 6 saw him more than just a Maintenance Man
He was everyone’s friend
Mr. Allen would respond to any Cooperator issue, but he was a man of action being in demand
I will miss see Mr. Ronald Allen in the Building 6 Lobby
See you in Heaven
I won’t be hard to find
I know where to find someone who was kind
You don’t want anyone of us to cry
Your soul is resting in peace with thy

Heaven called, and you were their demand
Your tomorrow came quick

Thank you for your time on Earth
In our hearts, you gave us a new birth

OPEN ROAD BUS COLLECTOR
preservationman Sep 2021
It’s not about the open road
It’s being a bus collector episode
It’s my bus passion being told
My bus collection displays all types
Some are International made
They come in all forms and shapes color shades
This has been my passion as a Little Tot
Honest and true, I would sign a document on the Dot
My buses light up
While some move about
My bus collection is extensive
Yes, some of my buses were expensive
Yet appreciative in every way
My hobby I won’t go astray
Greyhound Bus Lines did a Feature Story on me in 2008
Recognition which I appreciate
So that’s my open road
A story I never told
Into the sunset I go
You now know.

TODAY’S LESSON
preservationman Sep 2021
What’s a lesson without teach?
Education is what everyone is trying to reach
What’s a book without being read?
It becomes assumptions instead
What’s a sentence that doesn’t explain?
All roundabout with no aim
The purpose is to adapt to concepts
Influences that construct effect
Have you learned yet?
You need to understand what is the true foundation
Try to keep up the pace
Pretend you are in a race
The theory, you want to win
Participate during then and when
Lessons you must absorb
How the words and sentences want you to observe
Understanding is what you deserve
You have learned a valuable lesson
In order to learn you must be involved
This is how problems become a resolved
Lesson gained
Understanding that will remain

STIR AWAY AND PRAY
preservationman Sep 2021
Pray to connect
Let spiritual have effect
Pray for a world to understand
Let Heaven sustain
One day the World will
But will the world have peace and be still
We need to be guided by the Holy One in direction
After all, it was through the Holy One in creation
But one must listen to what God’s words are saying
Heaven calls the shots
It’s not a question whether you like it or not
But the world refuses to answer
Be obedient and follow
One can’t be hollow
All voices praying to Heaven
Help the world
Heaven’s answer
Devoted heart
In God we trust and serve
World, just observe
The Lord is counting on us
He controls the left and right
But the world continues in taking it light
This is why the world remains in a plight
Merciful in plain sight
Believe you will see hope
Understand and you will be able to cope
One day, I hope the world sees Faith one day
Stir away to pray to Heaven
One day for all
The answer will be Heaven’s call

Walking back through time
Life into eternity came to a dreadful end
It was destruction 20 years earlier then
Our lives were changed
9/11 being remembered shall remain
Terrorist thought they had won
But the United States will never be outdone
Ashes upon Ashes
Dust upon Dust
We rose in accomplishment being victory
Commitment in honor to all the Loss
We came together united being a force
We honor all the Loss
Their lives forever in our hearts
Life can be only a second and moment in time

Heaven watched
Souls descended
The Loss voices telling us to continue to strive
Don’t let defeat take control
Stand tall, strong and be bold
This is the 9/11 story ever told
Tomorrow seemed like a yesterday
But 20 years was captured as a moment in our lives
Possibility surfaced as a reality
Our hearts were united as one
We wondered if we ever build and overcome again
Tears upon tears among families in their Loss
But the U.S. conquered and saw that the ashes of darkness wasn’t going to stop the U.S. in seeing the guiding light
Heaven led us
Faith was the hope
Today, it is our daily cope
We are never alone
The Lord knows all our names well
We are all witnesses of 9/11 to tell
The Loss Spirits are looking down on us in pride that we are still standing
It took might and determination
Their spirits are our courage
Their strength being nourish
Their life our beginning
We will always remember and never forget
There will always be a question of regret
Have no fear
God is always near
Echoed souls want us to continue to preserver
Their spirits are alive in all of us
We are their legacy
We are their dreams of commitment
Our determination being a destination
It is for us to continue to live until our tasks are complete
Continue to stand on U.S. Solid Ground
Imagine the echoed voices having a sound
Live, stand and always reflect
Live with a purpose, and make it personal for a reason
Relish tomorrow being a day
Stand and be strong each and every way
“I don’t want to fall. All I want to do is stand on Solid Ground” by David Levithan

9/11 MEMORIAL NOT
preservationman Sep 2021
It relates to 9/11
You see, I went on an interview Two Weeks before 9/11/2001
The interview was at Marsh & McClennan, Inc. at their Midtown New York City Office
But the Clerical job I would be doing was at the Former original 1 World Trade Center Tower on the 96th Floor
If I worked during that period, I wouldn’t have made it out for sure
I never did get hired
But it was a blessing
The World Trade Towers were attacked
I could have been involved in that
A blessing was bestowed unto me you
Perhaps a learning lesson for me
Faith was the key
My name could have been on the memorial list
But God saw my name would be overlooked survival miss
I firmly believe God’s mission having a plan in his hand
I am at God’s command
Faith
Hope
Praise
It was all through God’s amaze
Amen in the blessing
9/11, I will never forget and always remember
I was given another chance of life

THERE WAS ONCE A HILL
preservationman Sep 2021
Deep in height
There was even fright
It was careful steps
Maybe a stumble
But the thought was climb
Faith was kept in mind
I had to be determined that defeat wasn’t my virtue
My heart had to remain true
It became a commitment
But to some people, it was jealousy in resentment
Yet the hill was high
I whispered a prayer to thy
Climb I shall
Endurance with all
No time to stall
I am climbing

Thank you for raising me
My uprising for all too see
Thank you for teaching me to pray

You introduced me to Church

I am in Church daily where I am found
You took me too the Movies and Broadway play being biblical related such as “THE BIBLE”, “THE TEN COMMANDMENTS”, “THE ROBE” and BROADWA\Y PLAY, “YOUR ARMS ARE TOO SHORT TO BOX WITH GOD”
You made that a learning lesson for me

You have been in Heaven for a while

Overcome becomes what you establish
Engage is the connection
Think worry free like a music selection
Just be calm
Don’t let your body cause for alarm
Worrying is only a harm
Let prayer take control

Imagine being among the stars
Being of the space and surrounded with Mars
Seeing the Little and Big Dippers
Observing the Earth below
Catching every Childs wish you know
Every twinkle here and there
Being high in the sky
A star bright
Night delight
One wish at a time
The skies are ever so kind
Understanding of thought comes out
It is encouragement to the world moving about
A sense of Joy
Especially during the holiday season to every Girl and Boy
Razzle and Dazzle in sight
This is every night
What a sight to see
Fills the heart in what excitement is supposed to be
Twinkle
Amongst the stars
The Galaxy
Entertainment in the night sky

POET REVENGE
preservationman Sep 2021
As a Poets angle, we compose
Because it illustrates suppose
Yet Authors hate Poets
Author’s construct into dialog
Poet’s words compensate
Authors words characterize into translate
Poet’s just let their emotions flow
It is a let go
Authors formulate you in the know
We are not Authors
Poet are magicians with words
This is fight is between Poets and Authors
Words truly know what’s best
Of course, it comes with a confess
Words and sentences take aim on both sides
It’s Criticize with Emphasize
As Poets, we defend our purpose and reason
It has nothing to do with seasons
Great words have come from many well know Poets
However, many Well Known Authors have inspired others of their work
One Poet comes to mind is “Edgar Allan Poe”
An Author would say “So”
Authors, we are not going to let you put us Poets down
We are all over town
Poets will always be around
Our words will always  be a touch down
The words make the sound
Authors think they are right
But if Authors and Poets come together, there is might
But let’s settle this
There is a simple twist
Poets and Authors, let’s team up and combine both words
Imagine what could be accomplished
Think on the reader’s response
The end result, words and sentences centered on thoughts
This would come from both sides being an oath of Poets and Authors
Combination
Appreciation
Communication
Poets and Authors United
Thanks for your listening ear
Let us all compose with the theory of preserver.

WRITE ME A SONG
preservationman Sep 2021
Show me where time went
It’s my time being well spent
Take me to journey’s end
Help me understanding in depend
Show me the rivers flow
Let it be like the Bayou that overflow
The sun being the inspiration
Cloudy days are only a disappointment to overcome
Tomorrow being newness
One soul the witness
What will be
Something to see
Every road leading to a destination
Hope being the rise and shine
It surrounds Faith combined
Life into truth
It all began around youth
The heart understands, but Heaven knows
Given voices and words
They are Theories to be heard
Hear the distance sounds
It’s here and there bound
The song is gentle and sweet
The vision of words in a tweet
The song has been played
The heart already relayed
It happened on any day
Come Closer
Your life fulfilled was accomplished

Raise your voice
Sing your Praise
Observe the amaze
It started from Heaven to Earth
It became worldly on Earth as an enriched new birth
The world was in Sin
That was all from then

But we are in the now

Seek Jesus while you can take hold
Become a Believer being bold
Repent and live in Grace
We are in a race
Time is the trace
Step up and keep up the pace
The Gospel is truth
Word for word in fact
Biblical being a reflection look back
Think on your life at where you were at
Revelation in testimony became a fact
Lift up those hands and praise
You are living because of the amaze
Now give praise
You now know
Rejoice and expel
You are now the tell

TROUBLE IS MY NAME

My name is Trouble
I cause disturbance where ever i go
I cause confusion in break ups
I focus on the mind in people to steal
Go out and make a situation a big deal
I have sent many people to jail
I even mingle with the mail
Life has always been on fail
There's no reason to do right
Wrong is my trouble
This is where I always stumble
In fact, perhaps my name should be changed to stumble
Troubles are always bad
It's been like that since I was a lad
I couldn't keep relationships
School I had no interest
I was a Drop Out
So Trouble is my name
My substance is drugs
I hang out with Thugs
You haven't seen the trouble I am in
Perhaps I can persuade you to begin
So Trouble here

Truth in the talent
No longer will be silent
Broadway will be alive at last

DESTINY OF MEGAWOMEN

Average women, Jane Holiman
By night, being a crime fighting avenger
It happened to Jane Holiman by surprise
But I must emphasize
Ms. Holiman had acquired powers beyond the world's expectations
She became Megawomen
Amazone muscles would grow in proportions along with size
But Ms. Holiman had no idea what they would be used for
Fighting crime and bringing to Justice
But was that her destiny?
A Night Star spoke to her one given night and told Ms. Holiman told her that becoming Megawomen was a gift behind the purpose, and that she was the chosen one
She was told to embrace in her powers
But use them for the good and imprison evil
Soon later, Jane Holiman thought about being Megawomen
She also thought about the footsteps she was following such as SUPERGIRL, WONDER WOMEN, STAR GIRL and others
Jane Holiman would be known as MEGAWOMEN with powers beyond mortals in strength and Judgement in heart

I am disturbance where ever I go
But you just don't know
I cause breakups
I encourage people to steal
Turn situations into a big deal
I know all about jail
Prison is not just for a male
It's the system wanting you to fail
Life will always be tough
Being trouble, I am also rough
There is no reason to do right
It's written on the walls in plain sight
Wrong is my trouble
This is where I constantly stumble
In fact, perhaps that should be my name, "STUMBLE"
My troubles are always bad
It all started being a lad
I couldn't keep relationships
School I had no interest
I was a drop out
My name is Trouble
The only substance is Drugs
I hang out with ****'s

ARISE ARISE
preservationman Aug 2021
I have come so far
I was getting further and further away
I asked the Lord to help me on this day
My life needs salvation in every way
A voice said, “Now Come Home”
I knew than I wasn’t standing alone
Suddenly Joy and Praise came my way
A shout echoed, I will never go astray
The Devil blocks what he doesn’t want you to understand
He encourages anyone to his caravan
The Lord opens to door to a blessed extension
It becomes a total Christian lesson
Truth in the Holy Spirit
Rejoice as it is embraced in merit
Time after time
I understood more and more
I knew there is much to Christianity I needed to explore
I shouted Mercy and Glory
But that is only half of my story
My Biblical eye was on search
I was told to go to a place of foundational worship
My mind was open and soul fulfilled
For years I was always misled
The Holy Spirit came and I was fed
So my journey was long
But you are probably asking, “What took so long?”
Plain and simple, I didn’t think I belong
My destination reached precise
I am given daily God’s advice
Tomorrow seemed like yesterday
It was a gesture
It became a promise
The Lord took me in, and encouraged me in spreading God’s word out
Now you know the whole story in how God moved within my life
Salvation is a blessing
I have no more guessing
I extend salvation to you and all it takes is praying in the asking

The time that told
The Moment of Truth
Expanded within the dialog
All talk and no action
Let Me Show you my True Reaction
You were cut off in our discussion
Accomplished which you didn’t
The Mind was truly set
The Sun and Daylight added to the inspiration
What you see is the illustration
The Banner is clear
Poet’s hold words that closely dear

TIME VANISHED
preservationman Jul 2021
You moved like a slow moving vessel steamer
Time you thought you had
You totally forgot
You seemed to be stuck on being still
But time was on full acceleration
Tick Tuck was your time
You thought you could keep up
You figured the long was your extended time
But the short hand said you were out of time
The Midnight Hour was your finale
You no longer had any seconds nor minutes left
Every component of time captured your every pause and movement
You were now trapped in a clock
You will never get out
Time controls all you about
You didn’t understand what precise time meant
It was a lesson you never knew and didn’t try to find out
Time surrounds you within the walls
You are now sustained in your stall
In essence, your fault being your fall
Time tried to warn you, but you totally ignored
Time has it’s own time
You are now a timepiece
You will never be released
You are time vanished forever

PIANO KEYS ADVICE
preservationman Jul 2021
The ivories seems to say through the notes, we have an inspiring tone
A note that played here and there
Your today is certain, but tomorrow is followed by a question
Every note symbolic being like a prophecy
But one’s life has no guarantees
Warrant on caution
You seem to think you are stepping out
You don’t even realize you are fighting your own bout
It’s the battle of your heart and inner soul
Your mind has become like a wallet billfold
Your relish expense, but you are broke
Laughter surrounds you but you are the joke
Harmony has passed you by
Withy every given tear, it was a moment of your own fear
Your life having no direct pattern
If I were to choose for you a planet, it would be Saturn
Because you see constant pause without knowing the cause
Separate emotion into sacrifice
Understand true advice
So the tone is yet secrete
But your heart is full of deceit
The piano keys are trying to help you find your way
You must stop moving astray
One note being your time
Every moving step your combined
The piano notes have made your advice clear, and be wise
The strategy is too be energized
With that said, the piano keys have spoken

STORM ALERT
preservationman Jul 2021
I remember a song stating, “Don’t be afraid of the storm, but hold your head high”
You questioned me about my own storms
I fell down, but got up
I then walked on
Faith surrounded me
My arms were raised in praise
I knew it was God’s amaze
Yet you kept questioning me again about my storms
But do you even know what your storms were in your life?
A storm can be devastating, but also a learning experience through one’s living
Faith is the answer and behind it is the Lord in don’t be alarmed
Lightning is the advice
Rain becomes the many showering blessings
The wind is comfort in being at ease
Hail is the battle, but victory comes from on high
Praying that sustains into Lord help me please
The storm is a reminder, the Lord being the Great I Am
Storms are struggles that everyone must go through
It’s asking for guidance in how to pursue
Storms help one understand
One must be able to stand and face the storms approachable
As my Deceased Grandmother would often say, “We will understand after while”
Storms are turbulence between your mind and soul
Yet the same storms can also be rewards
Blessings unmeasurable
Eye on the skies and being wise
Storms being the norm
Storms surround our lives all about
Don’t be alarmed, the storms won’t harm

BLUE EYES
preservationman Jul 2021
The image of your face, Eyes and smile
I wondered during my while
You said me being a Poet and how my words captured you
My words went all through and through
Our loving came together like a full moon
I searched for a very long time for a female mate
Blue eyes when you came along it was pure fate
Your blue eyes caught my attention
It was like a Hawaiian night
My heart pounded with that very first kiss
I knew then I wanted you to be my miss
Blue eyes you are so down to Earth
I was enriched like a new birth
Oh Blue Eyes
You make me ever so wise
Our moments together are energized

NAVIGATING MY LIFE
preservationman Jul 2021
At first, I was using my own senses
I was getting loss and further out of my way in all the wrong directions
I asked citizens, and I was running into detours
Blinded by darkness
I started using my Directional Finder
But I was still a long way from home
A voice echoed, “Don’t roam come home”
I can direct your path
Suddenly Salvation got closer, and I found my way
All the roads that I had taken was leading me astray
I had been travelling on the wrong roads all my life
I had no idea in how to even reach my destination
A voice had to show me in illustration
In the beginning tomorrow seemed ever so far
I was way off track
It seemed someone was trying to hold me back
Intervention came into play
The voice told the roadblock never on any day
It was salvation I had been searching and needing all my life
The skies opened my mind with advice
I reached home that I was away for so long
Just then, an extended hand took hold of mine and the voice said, “You finally reached home”
I got my spiritual blessing
Seek one will find
Accept will be kind
Believe with everything combined
Navigating was so genuine.

NEWSWEEK LOVE
preservationman Jul 2021
Love can be a maybe with perhaps
It’s a periodical of words drawn by couples
Then again maybe love not at all
Words upon caring or uncertainty words
But are couples truly listening to what the other partner is saying?
How do they compliment each other?
Yet, I believe each couple must have a feeling in what love means
Love comes in days, months and weeks throughout the years
Romance if truth in preserver
Hearts enter like a portal
At times, love can become a violent storm going through the stimulation like a black hole
But it is no illusion
Do couples see what the stars in the sky are saying?
However, is there a twinkle within the love between couples?
Hearts should be stirring perfection into admiration
Love becomes the scale between Desire and Cherish
The finale within the kiss
Not a wish
Distinguished
Periodical love
Hearts enchanted
It takes follow through
But requires pursue
Love advice
That is what keeps love together with a mixture of honey, sugar and spice
Extraction to the nice
Newsweek love, the yearly affair, hearts centered for the next level surrounding love
You read on now enchant on
Love is endless
As couples are priceless

REBEL
preservationman Jul 2021
As I recall you didn’t want me anymore
We argued all the time
Your rebuke being my move on
I responded with I will get along
There was no love only cheating on both sides
Get out, you can’t reside
Commitment has no meaning
It was simply lies
I am not a light switch being on and off
When you stepped out
Your cheating was known all about
From sunset to sundown you were nowhere to be found
I now have peace and tranquil
I have no tears
I don’t want you ever to come near
I am able to move on
My heart being a locked secure door
You are a person I will always ignore
You only want to put me down
But I am not falling to the ground
You are long distance by my standards
I have a totally different approach
My words are no joke
You say you want, but really didn’t need
My life now is focused on me to continue to proceed
No further need
Goodbye now forever

Harmony tick tock
Precision right on the dot

MEMOIR OF MISS BUTTERWORTH
preservationman Jul 2021
Her story wasn’t always so sweet
Slippery in fact
Listen as Miss Butterworth traces back
It was at the Oak View Plantation
It wasn’t a place full of fascination
The City and State was Clever, Alabama
Her life was full of struggles
Miss Butterworth was often beaten morning, noon and night
Her whole life was life with unquestionable plight
Miss Butterworth wanted to see freedom as her guiding light
That night, Miss Butterworth made her escape
Vast rivers surrounded the Plantation all over
When it rained she found cover
But her determination to be free rang high
Here’s why
Miss Butterworth often talked to other slaves of Freedom ways in the East
That was her vision in encouragement at least
Miss Butterworth thought back that all she could think about running through her mind was, “I had to be free”
She often heard Dogs with Slave Masters tracking her paths
She ran and ran until she was out of breath
Miss Butterworth maneuvered through the many rivers undetected
That was how the plantation dogs loss her scent
Miss Butterworth was now her own human body in represent
She knew within her heart, she had a purpose and reason to live
Slavery was only a form of suppression
But that plantation taught her a valuable lesson
“You must be determined enough and move with reaction in stating enough was enough being victorious
Miss Butterworth made it East to New Jersey
Her eyes were wide opened to a new beginning, and a chance to excel
Miss Butterworth immediately fell to her knees and prayed to the Almighty Heavenly God
Through his mercy and blessings, he got her through
She was not on Freedom Road
Now you know the story being told
Miss Butterworth’s name is famous on many Syrup bottles being her threshold
Freedom now and forever
