DOOMED SHIP
preservationman Jun 2016
A passenger cruise ship that left from San Juan, Puerto Rico
The ocean was calm and moving slow
The voyage with stops in the Caribbean
A journey to adventure
Eternity with a venture
Unknown to the passengers, there is danger in the air
Yet the Captain is unaware, and continues to preserver
Suddenly clear skies turned into a darkened shadow
The seas immediately became shallow
Blowing winds then followed
Passengers were watching candidly in what Meteorologist let be known
But what was next too be shown?
Mother nature and the seas with the ship being the connection
Immediately, the sea waves began to rise up
The ship would be waterlogged full like a drinking coffee cup
The waves were ever heading for the doomed ship
The ship was pacing back and forth and from side to side in a dip
The waves overpowered the entire ship
Angry seas at the command being God’s tip
Immediately the ship sank below
There were no survives, but no one really knows
Yet it was Davey Jones locker below
The seas were in control being the show
The ship nestled in a sea grave
The darkened clouds have disappeared, and the seas are calm in behave
Heavens watch and souls they crave.

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS
preservationman Feb 2015
A Salvation test that the Lord puts us through
Observing commitment that’s due
Struggles as there will be many
Trusting being the key as the main any
It’s the eyes on the harmony praise
A passing storm being a preparation moment
Salvation is something the world needs
The added prayers in helping us to proceed
Corruption at the door of a discerning Christian soul
But it is the marvelous of God in behold
The purpose of trial and tribulation is your salvation in keeping up the pace
The whole concept is too stay in the salvation race
Struggles being a way of life
But it is the Almighty with the promise of strive
God always has his eyes on you
This is what carries us through
The trial being where your salvation stands
The tribulation designed by God at his command
Consequences in making your faith strong
Having deliverance in knowing where you belong
The sacrifice of one’s commitment
Conditions that apply
Now give salvation a try
You will come from darkness into the light
You will be able to handle the world and not feel uptight
Trials and God being the judge
With a little coaching you will eventually budge.

I looked up at the high mountain
I wondered how I was going to climb
The mind was willing, but in this case, the legs were weak
Suddenly the Lord’s voice spoke out and asked, “What is it that you seek?”
I responded, “I must climb this mountain”
Lord’s response, “That is a big task for a little one”
But I am the Lord God and it shall be done
I carefully climbed until I reached the top
At various times I had to catch my breath and stop
Yet I continued on thereafter
That mountain climb was a must
But have the Lord’s encouraging blessings being an added plus
The more I climbed the higher I got
But when greatness comes so does the Devil’s plot
Suddenly a big rock began to come down in aiming for me to hit the ground
Immediately the rock swayed around me, but it was thee that was watching over me
The promise of the Lord, I made it to the top of that mountain
Victory being in assurance and endurance
Yet the Lord having total influence
A hand extended from Heaven and shook my hand
A servant of God being his caravan
Blessings being victory with the uphill climb
Struggles in thought with faith captivating in blessings sought.

I remember at CUNY Medgar Evers College, Ms. Morrison came to speak about her Novel, “TAR BABY”
I thought, distinction
Author, Philosopher and Motivator all rolled into one Toni Morrison
Endless writing days and nights
Ms. Morrison’s life filled with words
Stories to tell
Her stories hit home like a ringing of the bell
Throughout her stories were assertions of her beginnings
Her own words with a devoted mind
Ms. Morrison a commodity at will
But there’s more to Toni Morrison even still
She was as Philosopher within
Her words of inspiration sounding like musical instruments with a device tempo
Taking only brief pauses in making sure her words were actually being taken in
As a Novelist, Ms. Toni Morrison strived
She lived her dream to write
Ms. Toni Morrison creativity was like a river turning into a rushing flowing stream
It was her freshness having golden delight to intrigue
But it was Toni Morrison’s determination that told her to proceed
Ms. Morrison labored what she enjoyed and that was entertaining people through her writing and encouragement
Ms. Toni Morrison’s name will never be taken away
She is in Heaven and is simply ok
Until we meet again on the other side
Let my books and words continue to inspire
When questions are in doubt about you
Did you see what I have accomplished?
When answers become uncertain?
I am a believer in hope and my hope comes from a higher authority
Toni Morrison answered that call
Her legacy has been established for all.

DRAMATIC SYRUP

Darkness surrounds
Mysterious effect
Uncertain unspeakable
Alone and unbarring
More than a season watch
Coldness within
Suspense
Anger full of tears and frustration
Strength has no muster
Gestures no more
No understanding
Eyes seeing nothing
Walked into my own doubt
Expel shout
Lasting pause
Cold heart the cause
Living with no worth
A cloud is a curse
Until into never
Life below and above
Lived and died

A painting having an abstract background theme
Words of blend and coordination being the painting story
The word contrast being what was constructed within
Once you look at the painting your journey will begin
Words in showing the brightness of the sun
Centuries on earth living and still being among
Clouds overcasting mountains
Waterfalls dripping as shooting moving fountains
Beauty as the skies with the color of light blue
Today is a new day that one must pursue
The character in what the painting possess
One last chance to grasp and catch your breath
The feeling in how vision of the painting that is captured in words
What’s in the heart but is remembered in the mind
The painting having a touch with a very classy wine
Painting words with no need to say a word
Just observe and you will be the word in heard.

THE THUNDER OF APPLAUSE
preservationman Jan 2015
An Actor telling of his heart full rage
Storyline by storyline that would amaze
Tears full of emotion
The cries from image within reflecting from the ocean
The troubles and hatred people made me become
To some people they consider me a ***
My bout of when I thought someone was a friend
Their personality changed at the end
Suddenly without reason I was told by the so called friend that I was a user
This led me into being the actual accuser
I asked how could you accuse when I helped you when you were in a jam
It’s like feeling a door slam
I also lend you money and because I was a friend I didn’t ask for it back
After while it became a shouting match
Attitude’s all caught up in catch
My heart full of rage
It had nothing to do with age
I was not through wanting friends being my end
Then someone was walking down the street and encouraged me not to give into defeat
The words were “God is a true friend and is the true treat
He doesn’t advise of any charge
God just wants you to accept and watch as your salvation enlarges to a praising surcharge
The Lord solves problems because he is the solver
He is an excellent overseer in warning you about things before they actually happen in advance
It’s evil that wants to prance, but God who is the chance
Later the person walked away and immediately disappeared
From that time on it was my message to preserver
Then the Actor’s finale words, “My rage has been depleted”
More than an Acting role completed
God knew what I needed
Your life in never being alone
God showed me and let it be knew
Thundering applause throughout
It was the audience approval being a big shout

CONGREGATION COME FOLLOW ME
preservationman Jul 2015
The Pastor and I was carrying a Navy Blue Cloth
The entire congregation followed
There was no singing and talking
We got to this wooden shed
We laid the navy blue cloth on what seemed like a wooden bed
The Pastor announced, “This blue cloth can’t be with us and this is a must”
Then the Pastor, myself and congregation walked back from where we started prior
As we walked, the Pastor and congregation stopped to pray
However there was a relay
Then my eyes became focused, and I noticed my Grandmother on the side decked out in white
Later I stated to my Grandmother, “You are part of this also”
I was then blessed to wake up with full of praises that made me be spiritual caught up
Even though this was a dream
It was my subconscious being the stream.

One time thing
I didn’t need to flex
I did feel a little perplexed
A Female Bodybuilder and I met at a Bodybuilding show
It involves a competition with music and posing muscles you know
A Male Bodybuilding Champion himself introduced me to the Female Bodybuilder
Her smile and personality caught my attention
My charm signaled to her my representation
The Female Bodybuilder wasn’t overly muscular in extreme’s
She had shape and was well contoured
We got to know each other
One thing led to another
Each time we talked the stars twinkled
With glancing moment, the Moon smiled
We didn’t have an interlude
I felt proud that she was willing to go out with me
I guess it was meant to be
As our evening ended, we kissed goodnight
It felt like fireworks in the night
We became the memory open book
It was how our eyes took a look
One flex at a time to remember
Off to sleep now to slumber

THE PREACHER IN ME
preservationman Sep 2014
My testimony for all to hear
My survival in taking away the fear
Death was once an end in my beginning
But through the praying hands, I was up for more innings
It was prophesized when I was only 12, 13 and 15, God wanted me to preach his word
It’s my voice being God’s choice in being heard
My eternity became a renewed tomorrow
My head was totally raised from sorrow
A valley might be considered below
But God said think high peaks and below just isn’t so
God surely brought me out
Now I have something to truly shout
Natural Doctors previously said I was at near at being dead
But Spiritual Jesus said, “Get out of that bed”
Man doesn’t have all the answers
In fact, the ideas often fall under pranchers
My encouragement to you if you only knew
My personal testimony is what spirituality can truly do
Words from my heart telling you tomorrow will come
The world only waits to get some
Salvation is for all who will accept
Dry up your tears in cries of wept
God’s divine in being in a fulfilled kept
God totally brought me out of darkness
It was the rainbow of light
My vision of faith in plain sight
Whatever your plight?
God can enrich you in over pouring blessings in praise of excite
Follow me to Heaven’s reign
Today seek salvation and let it be your aim
Come out of the Devil's game

Truth being the actual facts
Timelines that illustrate the stacks
A look back with helping to move forward
But knowing the truth one must be able to except the truth
Believing the truth is real
But along with truth comes lies
However that should be no surprise
A perfect example is when the WHITE HOUSE makes a statement it becomes a questionable though being truth with a lie mixed in
It wasn’t until when
There was no truth from the very beginning
Lies become the forefront
Truth was never meant to be the font
Real truth is real understanding with wanting to expel the truth
But Dr. Dyson explains the truth right out and being direct
“Fact is and it is fact that will stay”
Lies don’t make it right, but they do try with no understanding and guidance behind it
Truth is knowledge within the understanding, and the theory of precise logic in strategy
So what does truth sound like?
Make a Truth statement and watch for the response
Can you handle the truth?
Listen for the facts
This is my review and what do you think of that.

My dramatics deserving applause
My inspiring voice that could be yours
The presence of my stance
My movement at any chance
My views in which I hold dear
Yet deep in my mind there was some fear
As I lived on, I began blossom and preserver
My husband and I
We both gave acting a try
I am known for my theatrical works
Yet my wisdom came as I aged
As you continue to grow, you will see your own amaze
Once again, over the years I have seen my fears
But I remained strong in order to preserver
My cries had become my struggles
The boundaries being a block
My life at times a cruel mock
It was my life from once I came
A positive direction in being the aim
My life creating perfection
Being proud my indication
The focus being my strive
God’s everyday living is how I survived
Remember me in how my voice captured your heart
Also the impact of my talent in how it made a casting mark
The stage being more than just to act
The multitudes of people in personalities is what attract
Now just look back on my life
Reflect on how I strived
A speaking voice of many
Heaven’s rejoice of praise
Be encouraged and inspired
I am resting now
I leave my spirit in showing you how
Do, and you shall go, think and you shall gain knowledge and remember you will always be a foundation
I was the symbol for all
But now I have answered to God’s call
Now lift your head and stand proud.

As the book opens feeling upset
Eventually it will become a bet
Eat at your own risk
But you need to think on this
There was a woman named Maria Forsure, who loved to cook
But for someone who didn’t know how to cook, it sure made people shook
It was how Maria would cook
But all you had to do was just look
That’s all it took
The fact Maria didn’t know her way around the oven
Don’t even mention the word bake in being a dozen
Once there was dinner at Maria’s house
The idea even scared a mouse
If the meat was duck
If it wasn’t cooked, it was just plucked
As the guest were talking in the living room
There was a certain boom
The oven door was open and the duck was on the ceiling
No one knew what actually happened
A change of plan in what to serve
It wouldn’t be Duck, as the guest didn’t deserve
A Hamburger to the rescue
Are you sure you want to follow that cue?
People often got sick when eating Maria’s food
It would be a nearby toilet of the stool
Pepto Bismol being a welcomed guest
Let’s be honest, it was a request
Maria’s meal certainly didn’t have appeal
It was simply a nightmare being for real.

God performed on me in being a miracle
Doctors suggested Death and God simply said you have time left
Death was a prerecorded message the Doctor’s own observation
But God said, “Life with breath is what I put in”
It’s enriched spiritual living that will begin
I am the Lord that says when
It’s the everlasting in eternity at the end
I have cried many times in my struggles
Jesus signaled me out that I am of his chosen one’s
My faith is what keeps me among
Jesus will always be number one
He died on the cross and defeated Death
The time clock is ticking, and the unbeliever doesn’t have much time left
As a servant of God, I will stand
I want to walk in God’s caravan
But once again, I am a witness who has experienced the spiritual Christ Voice
I opened my heart and it became my choice
My platform, “I will stand for the Lord”
He is someone everyone needs to explore
It is the Devil you need to ignore
Follow me to the Christian faith
Worship should not be on Easter alone
It’s everyday reading of the Bible what continues to be shown
It’s spiritual knowledge for us in what God has always known
A cry away is praises that stay
The shout of joy in what carries us everyday and in every way
Stand for your blessings and praises to your heart
Yes I am a witness and will continue to stand
God is righteous and he is worthy to his command
Spread the word and shout it loud
Heaven awaits and continual praises are allowed
You can believe on God’s promise
After all, God’s word is straight to the point and being honest
“Worship me now as I am your guide and protector. My many miracles
you will witness, and encourage one another. Continue to believe in me as your divine faith will be draw you closer to thee”.

Amazement that others haven’t known

Senator John McCain, you died with dignity and honor
Your devotion to Politics was Washington, DC’s gain
Your life will always be instilled in our hearts

You covered both sides of the track being a Soldier and a Senator
You were the Veterans mouthpiece in fighting for their rights

Come up to Heaven where it will be best
You have always been my Faithful Worshipper

It doesn’t if it is close or far
Eat, Drive and be thankful
But don’t drink if you are drinking
Your life is precious in deserving
So the Turkey will lose and you will eat
It will be the treasured meat
Yet, pray for all the shut in and misfortunate still
But that is a will
The Turkey shall not survive
But then again, it’s never alive
Thanksgiving is about memories and reflections
Enjoy one’s company
Thanksgiving is about sharing, caring and giving
Happy Thanksgiving on this day with many more to follow
So enjoy my friends and embrace until the very end.

A MAN NAMED CLEVER
preservationman Apr 2016
Took a page from his mind in seeing never
It was his resolutions in lasting forever
It was a man’s idea in being clever
Solving a problem was simply like pulling a lever
He was given the name of Clever
It was how he solved situations
It was also how he spoke in discussions
A man’s recommendations with his mind
Using all the resources of reasoning combined
It was the name of Clever with a lasting promise
It was also a man’s heart in being honest
What’s in a name?
But who can blame
It was those resolutions being the aim
Clever who was were meant to be, and the possibilities everyone could see.

Wonder Woman Harris was strong
Her Villain couldn’t even get the words along
There was too many lies after lies

Answers to questions from the Villain didn’t make sense

Her Villain set the dangerous warn and alarm

Her Villain had no youth
It was clear that Wonder Woman Harris claimed victory

Mulberry Square Inn nestled around Mountains, and a Night a romantic Moon
In fact, they call the Inn the Make Out Experience
But sounds more like a retreat in influence
However, the Mulberry Square Inn offering Guest amenities of quality service
But with romantic in the air that should be obvious
It is not exactly a resort, but you still get the relaxing pleasure
It’s a getaway for good measure
Picture Perfect
Mountain’s surround
Quite it and serene having no sound
But when Night comes, it’s no holding back
The Dazzle and Sizzle of music that the Mulberry Square Inn provides
It’s where entertainment resides
So Mulberry, you know the name from the Andy Griffith Show
Although
It goes beyond that
There is no connection and that is a fact
Think on Mulberry Square Inn being and giving more
This is something I wanted to explore
Mulberry Square Inn being a promise and providing being honest.

We all gathered together in the Home Going of Harold Smiley
The story of life in a previous daily ride
But on this day, a deceased body traveling in the stride
A funeral will take place with Coffin and all
The Family gathered in the subway car, and they are all standing tall
The subway ride with words about the deceased
Meanwhile, the subway car has made several station stops and the passenger volume has increased
Other commuters looked on
Yet some felt they didn’t belong
Imagine a Coffin with a Funeral Director and Family aboard
One could only say, “Oh my Lord”
The reason for a funeral on the subway, it was the request of the deceased
The Cemetery was 10 subway stops down
At Sweet Chariot Cemetery, it would be the burial bound
But the subway car was silent with no one making a sound
The only sound was the subway car wheels
The whole subway funeral ride felt more like a movie reel
Yet this was for real
A decreased one from a commuter subway ride in living been
But the journey has concluded with a final end.

The highway being the boast
This bus is not like most
Headlights that form fangs
Drivers thinking in oh dang
The scariest bus on the road so look out
Kids in cars even shout
This day the scariest bus has taken over the entire road
A Halloween trick and treat in being bold
Boo in the blowing of the horn
The thought of cars and trucks surrounding their own urn
The back of the bus that says, “Stand back”
The scariest bus is bringing the thrills
Drive if you dare if you have a strong will
Highway routes have a become Halloween traps
Cars and trucks are right in the smack
The scariest bus is the one that knows
It’s the look that shows
Scary and eerie coming together being possibilities
The scariest bus being the reality
The highway bus with a lot of bite
The scariest bus with the vision of light
Easy to see, but just don’t stare
This is a word of caution in beware.

Ms. Cine who went on to achieve a Masters in Public Administration
It was her consistent class presentations being illustrations
Hard as they were, Ms. Alston stayed the course
It was her Mother’s encouragement and plenty of inspiration
But it was the everyday of God taking the wheel in driving Ms. Cine into a commodity of theory, Concept, Adaptability, Analytical and understanding
However, higher and greater education is knowledge with another milestone of Ms. Alston becoming an Honor student and achieving beyond her own expectations

WAVES BEHAVE

Ships upon ships in a watery county
Captains attempting in maneuvering their ships all from the bounty
The stormy skies with wind, which Heaven was in charge
The seas rocking all ships
Heaven voice of lighthouses being their tip
Deeper and deeper ships go in a disastrous dip
The open seas being their own Sea God
No voice with speech can actually say
The sea wave’s move in having their way
Yet the high sea waves in their sound
Questionable moments in a rocky bearing bound
Many ships of the past perished on the seas
I seem to remember a courageous ship only known as LADY LOUISE
It was a ship that did survive
There was adventure and true guidance that helped the ship to strive
The shortest of times
What is actually kept in the mind?
The seas will continue on the journey of derive
The theory of seas behave under who controls
A praising voice looking for that behold
But Heaven above and the superiority one with the majesty name to think of
A ship is mainly the craft meant for the sea
But no one really knows the reason, as it is the holy one called thee
Waves and seas were created beyond men’s understanding what nature can establish
Seas upon seas in knowing how to ride the wave and to see beyond how the lighthouse guides
It’s Heaven alone with its own special stride.

A WRITTEN CHRISTMAS LETTER
preservationman Nov 2014
It was a letter written by a little child to St. Nick
It had to be at the North Pole pretty quick
The little child felt a certain toy had to be the right pick
The child wished on a falling star
He hoped that his wish would extend really far
But let the story in detail unfold
Come on in and look behind the curtain of told
Little John stated, “ I want a toy train set”
I want it to be my own train set no one has ever seen
Santa reading little John’s letter felt he would do the next best thing, he would give little John a personal ride on a real train, and he would be the only passenger aboard to visit me in the North Pole
This will be more than a wish
Little John was fast asleep, but Santa entered his bedroom, “Awaken, Awaken little John”
He awoke, but couldn’t believe Santa was actually standing there
Santa told little John we have a journey to the North Pole
The train was called, “WISHES DELIGHT”
The steam engine had turned on its headlight
The signal was given to “ALL ABOARD!”
The train started to pull out
It’s a Christmas joy with anticipation to shout
The steam was flying in the air and the train’s whistle could be heard in the distance
A little heart that can’t compare
Suddenly it starts to snow
The Christmas trees were all bowing from below
But the train had still miles to go and it was the North Pole bound being the flow
Travelling up steep hills and the mountains looking like movie stills
Yet the steam engine being determined in its own will
Finally a sight in a child’s eyes
NORTH POLE, but too a little child, “TOYLAND”
Little John steps off the train
It was his fascination that remained
Santa escorts little John into his workshop
There were many toys sitting on shelve tops
There were toys among toys, and there was plenty of them to give any child joy
Santa was constant thinking he must have little John home by midnight
But Santa was considerate and polite
Little John was amazed at Santa’s place
This was something Little John will never ever erase
Immediately following little John had fallen asleep
He was dreaming in my soul to keep
Stars all shining bright
They are telling everyone Merry Christmas and have a good night.

Polar being real cold
Solar feeling the warmth of love
Engine Steam is seen pumping in the distance
The name comes up being the Polar Express
It has always been involved as the kids train
But that can still remain
But there is another side of the Polar Express
Get yourself comfortable, and have a cup of hot tea or wine if you prefer
It was a cold winter night when the snow was falling heavy and the winds that blew
A couple who wanted to spend their honeymoon in the North Pole
North Pole of all places
I guess the couple wanted to be the first one
After all, it has never been done
So it was leave the car at home, and hop on the Polar Express
The Polar Express Train 101 is scheduled to depart Awakenville at 10:00 pm
The couple names were Joseph and Mary
No relation to the biblical, but this couple was certainly the actual
So Mary and Joseph were finally aboard the Polar Express 101
The Conductor announced all aboard as there were other passengers that had boarded as well
The Steam Engine puffed its smoke and the wheels started to turn
The Polar Express was moving on schedule
The train was decked out in all Candy Cane
That is what all the passengers actually saw
As the train was cruising, the passengers marveled at the dazzling streaking colored sky lights
Mary and Joseph nestled together to keep warm since the Polar Express was a cold train and it was two hearts that remained
It would be an overnight ride arriving at the North Pole at 7:00 am
We the Polar Express did just that
There were so many events moving enroute, it is hard to keep track
In fact, a melody of love of a song,” Love in the air, my heart doesn’t compare”
But now that Mary and Joseph, they are ready to disembark from the train
Next destination being the North Pole Paradise Hotel
I guess you are wondering how did they get their?
They didn’t walk nor hail for a ride
It was a Big Pretty Horse Shield ride, and of course a Driver was provided
Arriving at their Hotel oasis, the Honeymoon can now begin
But it surely was cold at outside
So the couple sipped on wine while they dined
The honeymoon continued in the snow
No the warmth of love didn’t was sure not to go
It didn’t the melt the snow, but surely romantically set the scene
Mary and Joseph went into a never ending interlude you know
But that is the story all in its glory.

The Hound bus was chased entire length of the turnpike
But if the NJ Turnpike Police don’t act quick, the Hound Bus could cross the Pennsylvania state line
The Thief knew how to drive that Hound bus, I guess in his prior life, the Thief was part of the company’s us
Yet the chase continued to go on, but not until the Hound bus ran out of gas
The Thief’s driving fast that didn’t last
Well the Thief forgot the gas tank up

A Hound bus having its own bite in crime
But justice was served with the Thief doing time.

It wasn’t the red and white
It was Santa looking like an Executive in pinstripe and had a handkerchief like a handiwipe and was smoking a pipe
It was a superior brand from Saks
However let me think back
There was some assortment with both Bergdorf and Saks
Santa was seen shaking hands with the Mayor Of New York
This was a sight too see
But this is between the reporter and me
Yes it was Santa with a whole new business attitude
But there was a candy cane pin attached to his lapel on his suit
That was an attire to sweeten a business deal to pursuit
I can’t believe Christmas is almost here
Everything will be hung with special loving care
Those misfortunate will surely get a share
Christmas in New York City
Coldness in your nose
A look on your face as a perhaps in suppose
Then a surprise of a Christmas ornament engraved with your name
Special preparation being the aim
Look its snowing and lets have a game

A night to fall asleep and eyes closed in a sandman’s trap of bound

He had no shoes to wear on his feet
His walks were through the months of poverty mounting to defeat
Some public mockery in passing in having no respect treat
A man who was once a working society
The economy reversed placing him in his current reality
No fault of the poor lonely soul
But there is sunrise with look and behold
A Good Samaritan had shows that never had been worn
A kind heart knew where those shoes belonged
It wasn’t long before the homeless man put the shoes on
Walking around in his bare feet seemed ever so long
But the lonely homeless man was appreciative and moved on.
