UNTIL TOMORROW MY LOVE
preservationman Mar 2021
I want to see again
Tell me the day of when
Our chemistry seems to have an effect
Our date is truly a connect
Love that is felt deep
In fact, I am no mood to sleep
I am energized like the Duracell battery
You keep me charged
You are my crossroad
I say I love you being bold
My destiny in the right direction
You are my personal selection
Yesterday I looked upon
Tomorrow is another day
I want another date so what do you say?
My love is not a moment
It is true to my heart
I want to relish you with roses
A sip of wine to enhance the evening
Then let nature take it’s close in what I am feeling
A heart can’t be loved unless it is actually loved

PERSONAL COLUMN WRITER
preservationman Mar 2021
So you need some advice
Response will be concise and precise
You say your life has control over you
You need to change the balance in going to go through
Don’t let others give you negative advice
Yet I can’t sugar with a sprinkle of spice
In order to achieve you must also believe
Hope is worth accepting
Trying requires adapting
Change is about rearranging
Thinking positive within your mind
Surround yourself around inspiration
Let knowledge give you that education
Hold your head up
See yourself in the long term
Practice what you seek
Being inspired is what makes you unique
Don’t see your self outdated comparing to an antique
However, essence is essential
You have the power to control
All you have to do is take hold
Let your mind direct you to where you need to be
But be patient, and just watch and see
So that is this personal column writer’s advice
But don’t ever wonder and think twice

Heaven above
Blessings to think of
Flesh into spiritual soul
It’s Heaven’s assurance being whole
Touch my heart to be humble
Blessed is the believer
Salvation unto the receiver
Gospel word preached until
Everlasting promised at will
A time to pray
Keeping the Devil away from being the Saint’s prey
The spirit that compliments
The flesh and soul that separates
The Lord who forgives and the Saint’s who appreciates
A turn to acquaint
The blessings in thanks
The Lord having the virtue
A promise held in truth
Grace and Mercy that follow
Faith in the Lord, and not be shallow
Guidance in protect with the spiritual light of Harlow

I showed you a fake reflection
That was my way being a deceitful election
Words I said had no truth
It all started within my youth
Rage went to anger
It took all of my strength to muster
I went to great lengths
I took you to my other side
Straight out and didn’t bother to hide
You believe in me
I pretended for you too see
I am not everything I should be
I was descended
The Devil played with my mind
I was once kind
Now my personality no one can find
So my soul is in ******* in a bind
I see myself being drunk with satisfying wine
But there is more combined
I am simply wild
But you don’t know my style
All that under your eyes while
I don’t know who I am supposed to be anymore
It’s like a distance between the sea and shore
You probably want to ignore
Think of me not
In my heart it was all a plot
It doesn’t matter if you like it or not
Don’t remember
It was my cleverness within slumber
This is my ever after

UNLEASH IS UNSEEN

Fire burns within me
No extinguisher can put my flames out
Transformation is moving about
I am in heat and sweat
Hunger for feeding my crave
I am going crazy and can’t behave
Oh I wish I could shave?
Hotter and hotter
I am no longer in control
I am a stalking breast
My clothes are torn
My eyes are an Evil Red
Dare not get in the bed
Full of desire
The moment is now and not later
I can no longer wait
There is no hesitate
I must embark and leave a trace
But don’t dare look at my face
I must keep up the pace
I am hungry to be touched
There is much
The heat is on
The Moon is in control
This night has made me bold
But don’t get close
My hunger could turn into being gross

REVIVAL SOUL
preservationman Feb 2021
Behold the gospel word
Praises that could be heard
Looking for a uplift
It’s not a catch my drift
My voice rang out in the Holy Spirit
It is the goodness as God is merit
It happened at Praises up Baptist Church
It was a night of praying and preaching
There was plenty of knowledge surrounding teaching
My Soul was totally enriched
That’s where I got my uplift
There was no more doubt, but assurance in hope
Pure inspiration in blessing in cope
The Spirit fed my Soul
Embrace having an unfold

Enrich
Embrace
Laugh with Joy
It is ok to cry
Smell the beauty of the flowers
Cherish every given hour
Marvel the skies seeking understanding
Observe the stars at Night
No need to wish just observe
It’s not the stars twinkle, but it is the Night shine
Observe the ocean waves
The waves are suggesting, “Be calm and behave”
It’s a new day and a new moment
A time to live
Appreciation and encouragement to give
Moment by Moment
Hour by hour
Minute by minute
Cherish
See tomorrow
But remember yesterday
Feel the glory
You are the story
Just cherish
You live to see
But give thanks to Thee
Just cherish more

THE BLACK MIND
preservationman Feb 2021
Not from a book
Race character in look
Yet always thinking
However, being a Leader
Thinking ahead
Striding in an affirmative stead
The mind steadily concentrating on assembly
It is able
Start until complete
Beyond measure
Success forming the pleasure
The equation quo
But there might be an although
Doubt within opposition
The Black Mind set in position
But it all mounds to decision
Promise with a purpose
Won’t drown but will reach the surface
The Black Mind knows, but won’t let go
Opposition thinks, but the Black Mind follows through
Guided in excellence
The proof formulating assurance
Teaching and encouragement providing the influence
Accomplished
Established
But you can’t take away what the Black Mind is thinking
It’s already created, and mounted in total solidarity
But comes with destiny and dignity

STAGED
preservationman Feb 2021
You tried to fool
You used deceive being your tool
But I saw through you
It wasn’t hard
You put me on guard
Now I must disregard
I must depart
I am thinking smart
You thought you were talking to a ******
But you fooled your own self
You personality has no understanding
Your facts weren’t even sustaining
So your words were totally staged
But you wanted the response to come to rage
So I saw caution, and simply acted my age
preservationman Feb 2021
Everything you do move along
Every achievement is a blessing
Every accomplishing came from courage
But add knowledge to the nourish
Talent that you refined in preparation
Think forward
But only for a moment reflect back
Look at your achieving track
Remember your experiences in your efforts
You found your purpose
Like an Ocean, you learned how to reach the surface
The journey being your own
You did it guided by Heaven alone
You proved to yourself to accelerate
Now that is something you should appreciate
Well your efforts became show and tell
At times trial and tribulations you fell
But you got up and managed to move forward
Continue to walk and talk your ability
It seemed hard
But believing made it easier
It all comes down to assurance
Being committed in your endurance
Perhaps encouragement yonder being the influence
Steady on your feet
Moving forward, and now that makes you unique
Competitive you are
Now with that determination, you shall go far
Steady as you are
You are your own star

Lord descend on us your blessings of Freedom
You have given us wisdom
Yet we have been beaten and torn throughout
Our scars from streaks of whipping thorns
Lord we Slaves pray to the Heavens that we will once be free
This plantation of turmoil makes us want to flee
However, your spirit is wise and strong
Our Faith in believing is where we belong
No matter how long
We have spiritual songs to help us get along
Slavery is totally wrong
It’s those struggles that come along
We Slaves shall rise
The Plantation Owners are in for a surprise
We Slaves are fully energized
But this situation will be puzzled faces with a realize
It’s God’s Heaven I must emphasize
We will see our new sunrise
We Slaves will never have to apologize
Our hope is in the Heavens
Tomorrow will be a wonder
Our Freedom will find us yonder

1177 MONSTER LANE
preservationman Feb 2021
There was a haunted house
It was invaded with a many mouse
Neighbors on the street felt afraid
Even through the sunshine, it was always darkness being the shade
It was reality surrounding the made
Many people walked into the haunted house, but never came out
Spirits and Ghosts were all moving about
You would often hear moans of despair
But to the actual human that doesn’t even compare
I would suggest that you not be alone
Electricity is out and no phone
Spirits will invade bodies in search for eternity
It will happen right in your city
The spirits have no pity
The Moon is darkened and the skies have rage
Lightning and Thunder call for the moment
Awaken and rise
1177 Monster Lane is the enterprise
Humans will be the reign by the spirits
Flesh has no merit
Scream until you are hoarse
1177 Monster Lane is the force
Free from these spirits
No one knows when
You can’t escape
The distinction has become transcended

SPOTLIGHT ON TESTIMONY
preservationman Feb 2021
Music the introduction
The Curtain rises
There is only one individual act
The dialog will add to the fact
An Actor steps out
The audience applause
The dramatic presence will have a clause
As the Actor moves, so does the spotlight
The dramatic feel, “ HELP ME HELP ME”
A moment pause
Wait and listen
You don’t know what is in my heart
My wounds were of trouble I been through
There was a time I was in Jail
My times in school were a fail
I was at a place at the wrong time
I started hanging out with people I thought were my friends
My life in then
This is my story while
These so called friends had me taking drugs and stealing
I was also Gambling in dealing
My time was all rearranged in my life
I got warnings with advice
But I thought the suggestions weren’t nice
But I guess I was simply sublime
My regrets weren’t kind
So because I lead my own understanding, I served time
Behind those very Jail bars, I learned a hard lesson being rock bottom
It’s easy to fall down, but one must get up
It was a hard lesson to get through
I did a lot of praying and soul searching
My soul must meant for Drugs and stealing
Oh yes, the impact had an influence
It took all of my endurance
I am out of Jail and my life now is on a positive vibe
At least I lived to tell
Believe in yourself
Achieve the impossible
But see your life in fulfilling as possible

VALENTINE ON PARADE
preservationman Feb 2021
Smooth talk
Smooch kiss
Romance of silk
Music within the hearts of tone
The idea of love about to be full blown
No need for candy sweets
Being together is our tweets of delight
Eating by Candle Light
Eye glazing into one another

preservationman Feb 2021
Competition letter by letter
Alphabets take all
Words being the subject
Sentences compelling what they elect
Between the both accelerate the effect
It is what words say add to the meaning
Sentences determine the information behind in learning
Debate in a participate
The words are the enameled
But the sentences argue that they stress the surface
The challenge from beginning to end
But the words illustrate when
The sentences highlight can
The balance between words and sentences equal understanding
What theory one doesn’t know may have not figured it out
Words suggest, and sentences narrate about
Without the words there are no complete sentences
Words and sentences utter the details
The navigate in the trail
Perhaps even a fail
So the debate pretty much equals out
Words and sentences bring about
It is for all of us to theological compose the creativity within
Yet not make a bout
Certainly in thinking in doubt
But coming together in one accord in the outcome

TEARS
preservationman Feb 2021
Emotions that overflow
Despair in uncertainty of the know
Fear beyond the depths
Movement having careful footsteps
But tears can also be for happiness
Joy within the moment
Nonetheless, tears are moving fountains
Sensations with reasons
It doesn’t come within seasons
Tears fall
Disturbances that’s all
Perhaps a vision of caution too stall
Yet tears that release the fear
However God is the preserver
Shed no more tears

I KNOW
preservationman Feb 2021
It won’t be easy
Opposition wants a fight
Take a stand
I am Achiever and Believer
Legacy taught me that
Step Up, but don’t step back
Move on forward on
I am a person who knows where they belong
I remain strong in my dignity
Rigidity in truth
My Spiritual Soul is what has might
My Ancestors sat the course
It is my determination my force
One who doesn’t try doesn’t achieve
Direct Path
Associating in proving
I know
My Past Ancestors said it was so
I know
preservationman Feb 2021
I think on the strives our Black Ancestors made
It was a struggle to get done
Yet maneuvering and proving made their name among
Names that come to mind such as George Washington Carver, Medgar Wiley Evers, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jesse Owens, Joe Black, Jackie Robinson and the list goes on and on
So what makes their specific Black Achievers great?
It was their focus on achievement and continuing no matter what
It was their understanding
Their purpose being their own contribution
So have names on educational institutions for example, MEDGAR EVERS, CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE
I am proud to say, I am the product of CUNY Medgar Evers College embracing in the Medgar Evers Legacy
I was honored too be taught at CUNY Medgar Evers College by Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widow of MALCOLM X
I was inspired in her teachings and values
So Black History had and continues to be an impact on me
“To be a success, you must be taught in wisdom associating from the best”
That is my honest and true confess
But these say what is really in my heart
“Struggles are only preparations being what is expected in life. It comes with understanding in what knowledge provides. It comes with true meaning in believing, but with observation in listening”.

It’s not a fact, but forward back to her acting life, and she stands alone in her craft
If Cicely Tyson were alive today, what wisdom would she portray?
“If it’s acting you want to achieve, then prepare, and be ready to act. Find tone your approach, and let the spotlight be your shine, and just the applause be your inspiration continuous”
Ms. Tyson conquered all racial barriers
Determined to succeed, and not setting for negative words
She was destined that her acting ability would be heard
I remember when Ms. Tyson played the role of Jane Pittman on TV of “The Autobiography of Ms. Jane Pittman”
She played the role superbly and her dramatics being an encore in greatness

Now Ms. Cicely Tyson had been blessed through the years
She lived to be 96, but now is in Heaven’s threshold
I hope I can live to a right old age the way Ms. Tyson did

Through the years of discrimination
But it was talent that echoed out being Hank Aaron’s attention
Being Afro-American, he made history illustrating his presentation
He was a man of honor and truth
Hank Aaron who felt consequences but conquered them
Yet, he offers this encouragement, “Never give up, but always continue believing”
Believing in the impossible, but comes as expectation

Hank Aaron the man no matter what
He believed in himself while others had doubt
But seeing Hank Aaron perform on the Baseball field, a determined and destined Baseball Player
Civil Rights was a plight during his generation
But he brought all barriers to achieve history in his life
Atlanta Braves was the term he made victory
But bravery is the story
Heaven is now his glory
His journey was ******* Earth
But he is now enriched in Heaven’s redeemed birth
His story of baseball is in all the history books
All one has to do is take a look
Fame follows throughout time

You want me to shed tears
But I don’t have any fears
I stand within my own principles
It’s just that simple
You seem to have complexity ways
This is why I stay astray
Your mannerisms are not ok
I am guided by the Sun and Moon
My revelation will come soon
I speak on chosen words
But all you want to do is be heard
Utterance is not my tolerance
You have no influence
You say move away
But that is ok
I have my independence
I will not surrender
My heart and soul have blocked you in not to enter
I am standing on higher ground
Notice my lips don’t make a sound
You are alone and are no longer found

Your soul is loss and you need to be forgiven

A strong voice echoed out, “We shall overcome
The struggle centered on Race
The aftermath in bringing all races together in unity
Time was and even now an essence
Hatred among foes

We are the people that will get to the Promised Land
It is hope, Freedom, Honor and Dignity
Dr. Martin Luther King saw the dream in advance
He saw opportunity in chance
The movement became mainstream
The energy with self-esteem added to the steam
Civil Rights had to go worldwide like an enterprise
The results in helping the world to realize
Race wasn’t a wrong, but it was where coming together belonged
Foes were again, but the fact being, we all deserved to be among
It didn’t matter of creed and nationality
Race coming together as one was going to be a reality
The hills seems high to climb
But the struggle was going to be victory at the top
But don’t tire nor stop
So this day, we honor the Mighty, Dr. Martin Luther king

Push for Justice with all your might
Change the struggle as we are still in a plight
The work won’t be complete until all Races as one body and soul

Yet, we must continue to be energized
Don’t tire

THE SHADOW ONLY KNOWS
preservationman Jan 2021
The shadow spreads darkness through the mind
Thoughts compelling of evil and revenge combined
No one knows what the shadow thinks
It could be all written in blood ink
Light dares not cross into darkness
What you don’t see bares no witness
The shadow pretends while others see their end
It’s just the begin
Yet continuous until
The shadow flourishes at his will
The shade only hides what is too come
Burdens into turmoil
Liquid like soil
One thing for sure, the shadow never foils
Darkness being everyday night
Screams upon screams all full of fright
The shadow says, beware
I am in your presence, but you can’t hear nor see me
The shadow only knows

Pages on paper all blank
Nothing written down
A thought comes
But the paper becomes cumbersome
For the most part, the trash being my file
All this thinking took a while
But ideas with all kinds of imaginations
They are all coming about being illustrations
Words that knock at the door of the heart receive no answer
But sentences full of inspiration are welcomed to enter
They are front and center
Yet my life is partly on turmoil
But my feet remain on secrete ground
Heart and voice are beating loud and clear
It was drama giving me too much fear
But I have been directed and knowledge became my understanding
Yes, I had a paper trail
But I am destined, and I an guided in not to fail

Questions full of doubt
It’s the pass Election concerned about
The President is forced to standalone
Rioters at the Capitol made it full blown
It was an attack on the Capitol with lacked defense
As it stands in past tense
It was multitudes of the President’s supports doing their will
It was a day to Certify the Electoral vote
It was the President suggesting to the world being a revolt
This was serious and wasn’t a joke
It was those fierce words in what the President spoke
Our Democracy had an invade
Darkness having no shade
The President wanted to rearrange the election in his favor
But he loss with no savor
So the President Elect became official
The President is trying to be quiet like a still pickle
His Cabinet mostly resigned
But the President is alone with no having assigned
Even the Vice President and the President don’t communicate
It is all because the President doesn’t appreciate
But now worries are on the Inauguration at the Capitol
Will all authorities be prepared?
The Senate and the House have doubt
But will it be time to work out
The air has light breezes
No one feels at ease
In fact, it is like a tight squeeze
Even the President’s Social Media accounts have been suspended
The President needs to understand in a couple of weeks, his services will no longer be needed.

AND SO I WRITE
preservationman Jan 2021
I write to pass the days
It keeps my mind sharp from going astray
At times it could be experiences
The focus on encouragement in instances
Yet my writing gives me assurances
Inspiration from influences
What I learned I try to share
Through the cloudy days and fair
Breaking down from uncertain skies with a changeable heart
Yet my writing directs me and shows me tomorrow
Through the tears of sorrow
Directions that are precise
Sometimes giving me a dose of my own advice
Words for achieving and sentences for sustaining
Writing gives me the psychological approach
Focus is on fact
While writing keeps me on track
Writing being my anecdote
But it keeps down to encouragement from within being how my words were spoken
My writing is a gift from Heaven and blessed words are my token

YOU ARE OBSOLETE
preservationman Jan 2021
Traditional has changed
It comes with a new arrange
Wisdom has been replaced by tomorrows Millennial
Knowledge of the past being a wonder
But the remembrance has stretched yonder
However, the past must now ponder
Experience that was put into effect

The Millennial are now in the know
We maybe obsolete, but we have the wisdom and understanding in guiding in the upkeep

preservationman Dec 2020
2020 in several hours will become history
During 2020 there was plenty of mysteries
Uncertainty having top dollar became the voice
It affected us all being no choice
2020 is a year that everyone wants to forget
We can’t reverse what has already happened in regret
Yet no matter what, the year, 2021 is the year we pray and hope to make
Not be a year of give or take
Not be a year to say for goodness sake
But looking forward to appreciate
2021 to be a year to move forward into positivity
A year offering opportunity being full of activity
But the Mask and Social Distance will be the agenda
2021 will be continuous as we enter
But let’s think hope
Put our mind on cope

God is in control
That is one who we should all take hold
Our 2021 encouragement is from the behold
So Happy New Year 2021

LIFE OF A COWBOY
preservationman Dec 2020
Living on a Ranch
Among the Mountains and Rivers
Horseback riding from Sunrise to sunset
The surrounding High Mountains and Sun adding too the effect
Drinking at Saloon’s
Leaving town could very well be at noon
Sleeping under the stars
Seeing the constellations that could include Mars
Raising cattle
All that while sitting in the saddle
Stagecoaches making stops from anywhere into various towns
Destinations from to anywhere bound
Life as a Cowboy
Living the dream full of joy
Western style
The enriching outdoors all while
Notice I didn’t say Indian attacks effect
I chose not to add being my elect
A Cowboy will always be a Cowboy
Perhaps the Cowboy can meet a Cowgirl bringing them both Joy
The Cowboy is now riding into the sunset
Looking ahead with no regret
It doesn’t get any better than that

Toy buses roamed throughout the house
They even scared a Cat and a Mouse
The toy buses maneuvered around every Christmas tree
It’s enthusiasm that involves you and me
Some toy buses were Red like a Cherry
But it is the thought in being Merry
Some of the toy buses were heavy, and others light as a feather
They were in different designs all put together
The toy buses that lit up
I was drinking Eggnog in my cup
We are Bus Collectors in every way
It doesn’t matter what day
Santa decided wearing his Red and White, I will let buses guide me tonight
Their headlights will lead the way
Unfortunately, the Reindeer will be at home to stay
So as I prepare for Christmas Day
Don’t lose the enthusiasm, and don’t let your buses go astray
Buses bring us Joy while we are at peace
Being festive at least
So as Christmas Eve leads into the night
Let it be Silent Night
Buses now and forever
Dream of buses and think on the design
Happy Holidays with Joy and Peace combined
The toy buses have all rolled out

My personal testimony to share
It was December 21, 2020
I had a Health issue situation
It will be explained in this composition
Yet with timing in precision
I rushed myself to emergency at a Hospital in my area
I was bleeding and urinating at the same time
I was praying steady until
My mind focused was relishing on Death at that moment
But a sense of realize came over me
It was divining Faith in believe
So that was my relief
In emergency, I was waiting for a Doctor

Various tests were taken
I just had to wait for the results
Hours later, A Doctor being an Urologist came over to me and gave me the test results
My condition was nothing more than an infection
I was given Antibiotics and another medicine
But here is where the miracle surfaced
Remember, it was December 21, 2020 in emergency
When I went home that same day, the healing was already in process
December 22, 2020, the bleeding had completely stopped, and I was urinating without any trace of bleeding
The healing was the promise transcended
Deliverance on target
That’s my testimony in how I overcame my condition, which God and only God did
What I went through, God can also pull you through
Worry not, but do believe
That’s my encouragement in inspiring others
Proven and satisfied
It came from Heaven where God resides

SLEEPLESS IN WORDS
preservationman Dec 2020
Burning the midnight oil
Compose in construct
Writing at times when in the trash
There were even moments, I simply wanted to dash
But looking for words took longer than I ever would have imagined
Hours pass, and found myself falling asleep, so much for sleepless
But during that sleep, there was a knock at the door in my head
It was words telling me “Wake Up Wake Up”
We have word to do
They were telling me, you are far from being done
The words said, “Write this down”
The time is too write, but not think on slumber
Sentences certainly came to mind
Words after words became another
The writer was writing like no other
The words and sentences have found a true love writer
It’s a matter of believe and formulate
The focus of words to create
The Writer realized, he had the love of writing all along
The writer said, “This is where I belong”
Sleepless through endless time
The Writer achieved within his own thoughts
His now captured sipping on some wine
This is a special occasion, and I can celebrate and dine
Words continued to come even after
North, South, East and West
Words from the Writer says best
“Writing is what is enhanced, it becomes the opportunity. The Heart and Mind say, and words that come out. It’s words through the meanings. There is a reason to be sleepless
But writing being sleepless until
The mind flourishing on will

MOUNTAIN HIGH

Endure in the challenge
It’s being determined in leverage
Endurance in pouring strength
Being devoted at every length
Climb Up Climb Up
Think on the Mountain Top
Pausing only for a moment
Courage established
Committed to do it
Preparation for the task
It won’t be easy, and certainly no dash
But your mission will be clear
Ruled out will be fear
Go tell it on that Mountain
The energy like a flowing fountain
The voice of conquest in echoing out
Your emotion that will be moving about
Mountain high and wide, I am devoted to reside

COMBINATIONS
preservationman Dec 2020
Dreams through nightmares
Imagination as it appears
Water is to drink
The mind accelerates on think
Value of time seen through a clock and watch
Baseball is too catch
Movement through various wheeling modes
It’s transportation around the globe
A Stagecoach being a long distance bus
From chair to couch
To hit and say ouch
From Radio to TV
To Technology being a new wave to see
To worship being a church
Education to higher learning
Career being a salary earning
Teach being taught
A Tugboat to Cruise ship
Laugh is to Joke
Sentences and words being what is spoke
Hearing while be heard
Combinations in all different ways
That’s all for today

POETRY CHRISTMAS
preservationman Dec 2020
Words spread around the Christmas tree
Sentences unite in what Christmas should be
Peace, Joy and Blessings sprinkled around the house
There is something for everyone including a little mouse
Periods wink and change to color variations around the Christmas tree
A vision of Red and White pour down, and the word “Santa Claus” with a figurine showing Santa getting down
Words and sentences accompanies by music of the holiday season
Oh come and follow me
Through the window is the North Star I see
Toy railroad trains run all through the house
It’s Christmas, and they come from North to South
The words and sentences state, “We are Joy”
Into your hearts being no decoy
We welcome all toys
Our words for every girl and boy
So as the Christmas nights leading to the actual day
We the words and sentences couldn’t say it any other way
Warmth in spirit and in truth
Happy Holidays

CHRISTMAS HAP
preservationman Dec 2020
Snow that falls so nice
Be happy being the advice
The senses of sugar and spice
Candy Canes that hang and dazzle my Christmas tree
Joy to the world that reminds me
Assorted Christmas Candy in my dish
A skies star with me making a wish
Eggnog how fitting for this occasion
Yet non-alcoholic you know
I don’t want to cause an unexpected show
Kid’s hearts are rejoicing
Their voices so enriching
So all through the house
There was no trace of my spouse
Let’s forget any mouse
My spouse went gift shopping being her galore
She is not alone as she is with her friend named Eleanor
So since I have my spouse’s gift
I will hide it and do you catch my drift?
It will be a surprise come Christmas morning
But God’s willing to see another day
Being thankful in every way
So Christmas night being joy in sight
Laughter and carols being bright
With that thought, I will say Good Night

POET REALITY
preservationman Dec 2020
Death having a schedule
Life being a question
Understanding establishing a lesson
The analyzing and theory combination why?
One can only give a try
Now if one commits suicide it is a crime, and goes against God’s creed
But let me further proceed
Yet at some point in life we are destined to die
This is controlled by thy
This goes with God’s guideline
But that is something to always keep in mine
Why are some struggles hard bear?
None of them ever compare
But they are a beware
That was something I had to share
Struggles bring encouragement in being strength to endure
It makes one stand mature
But in order to understand that, one must truly believe
Able is being triumphant
Movement following the fact
It is the true fact, and not the extract
Now what do you think about that?

A cardboard box can be used to store
Pack
Ship
But also creative
It keeps the mind active
I have two toy scale buses that made from cardboard
I know it sounds strange, but is the accord
They were designed and outlined into a moving scale bus
Talent, Skill and Craftsmanship being the plus
Visualize in your mind a cardboard bus
You are probably thinking why all the fuss?
It is only a bus
The idea of a cardboard bus to me is unique
A craft that is mystique
The cardboard bus is sturdy and firm
I give credit to the creator with methods truly his own
But I will not make this full blown
I just wanted to make this known
