One particular song that comes to mind is “SHINING STAR”
Anyone can be a star, but can they shine?
Maurice White was his own shining star
Turning a ballad into a beat
Giving dancers of all ages a real treat
Mr. White knew how to make everyone dance and feel the songs with a tap of their feet
His shine being his smile in knowing he had talent
But it was the group together known as Earth, Wind and Fire
However in my terms of Satisfaction, Commitment and Desire
It was the music that made people feel the mood and love in soothe
Maurice White had nothing to prove, as it was music along that did that
But this is a memory as a look back
His singing voice had women chanting
But it was the introduction of romance being the night
Ballads after ballads of love being forever
Mr. White lived out his shining star
He is in Heaven and has gone far
Mr. White is now in Heaven’s eyes
It shouldn’t be any surprise
The music beat has come to a slow
Yet Mr. White says, just follow my flow
Earth, Wind and Fire has slowed down
Their music will still be around
To all of us here on Earth, we need to keep our feet on solid ground
Melodies are many
But it is the praises that stand out
This is Maurice White that I have been talking about
He wants us to cherish his music that made us dance
This was an opportunity being his chance
His spirit has been lifted up and advanced
His legacy stating, “Thanks for letting me entertain, but my heart of appreciation will forever always remain”.

Mire voices echoing in my head
Am I dreaming instead?
Yet I feel I am being talked to
It’s every day living through and through
Yet I don’t seem to have still a clue
Perhaps a method of inspiration coming far away
It seemed so sudden even on this day
The whispers were telling me to appreciate
But as I walked I stopped in my tracks on hesitate
Yet whispers moved my footsteps to position of on
I had no idea as to where in life I belong
Yet it seemed the voices had the true answer
But of course I was in a prance
Whispers had my ears in being well toned
My destiny would be coming sometime soon
Whispers telling don’t worry what people say
You are thinking normal and you are ok
Tell me more I responded to the whispers
But the whispers responded, “I have already heard and captioned every meaningful word”.

A dark and thunderous night
Howling in the distance
Mourns within an instance
It was creatures from everywhere
Yet the eerie night in beware
Traces of blood could be found along the streets
Innocent victims loss into defeat
Suddenly across the street a hand extends from the ground
A deceased unrest was making a rebound
As the deceased walks it is the voice of a troubled sound
The earth was cursed
The rising dead being a new birth
Night of watch and observe
The creatures have taken control of the earth
A moment too late
Tomorrow being a new date
Happy Halloween being the slate.

Rise and shine
This is the day to live
Yesterday was a day in preparing living for tomorrow
The living being your hour glass
A time telling you to keep on living

Yet one’s heart can be troubled with despite
Counseling is a form of share
One’s emotion can start at sorrow
But let me illustrate a mural, I am standing high above on rocks overlooking the ocean
As I stand there, I have a notion
Whose lives can I save today?
What some of encouragement can I offer being living every step of the way?

Saving lives means understanding one’s self
You are not like everybody else
Suicide is not a stride
It’s being cowardly and an excuse to hide
There are many options that offer positive approaches to abide
It’s about being confident and assured
Its believing that was established by the Lord
Saving lives is a daily continuous effort
But one is never alone and living means you don’t have to bare it alone

I gave you a picture involving an ocean
Along with that ocean is comfort, but there will be times storms will arise
The horizon is the image for you to see the reason to live
Living is encouraging advice from give
When life seems like a struggle, take your eyes to the skies in finding hope
It’s the Heaven’s that helps us all to cope
Saving lives, but thinking of others
Making choices but follow wisdom
The sun rise being your wakeup call as it is the establishment of living for all
The thought of saving lives is saving tomorrow.

Love at the center
Heart to heart enter
Kisses in romance
Eye to Eye attraction
Act of affection
Couples love representation
Hearts that surround
Words of endure
Head to toe
Love accelerating flow
Buckle up with love on a rise
Energize
Surprise
Love wise

Your body is telling you its time to train
Your mind is hesitating that your body should remain
This is your introduction in making your before in training that you should explore
A venture in your body becoming the new you
This has been something past due
When temptation set in
This is where exercising becomes the motion to begin
Tell the flab to get out
Slim and trim is what I am talking about
Exercise means eat right and not be uptight
Free weights for added strength
Pain and gain at every length
Remember to get your Doctor’s advice
Concentration, you will be strong as a vice
Who says it’s too late to exercise?
Whoever said that surely wasn’t wise
Exercise opens your mind to a new blend
Exercise also helps you to bend
Exercise is what keeps you alert
Nature’s way in being a perk
The health club is only a place to get your exercise on
Repetitions, intensity and sweat is where you belong
The health club is what you might need
Your sore muscles are telling you the need to proceed
Our health club producing proven results
It is every body composition that will be felt
You must understand exactly what body part you want to train
The rest will be a goal leading to aim
Weights in strength, and determination throughout the length.

Life will have many turnstiles
But always use understanding during while
A detour might seem like a step back
But true vision is what will keep you on track
What matters most?
You have legacies and that is something to boost

While others doubt
You have something that you can shout
You are a commodity scheduled for preserver
Don’t ever let negativity come near
Knowledge is about bringing out abilities
Education is knowing one’s self
Don’t do like everybody else

Leadership is chosen responders
Knowing how, but not as a follower
Take the when and move to fast forward in can

You are your own award
You have been given the destiny sword
Determination to try and having no fear with a question of why
Life may not be everything you thought
Your legacies have prepared you long into tomorrow

Think of it like this, you are a challenger, but already know how not to be defeated
When negativity says no, put your abilities into illustrate and show yes

The clear darkness said it right
The twinkle of the stars that shine bright
A bright Full Moon being a destiny in life pursue
The wonders of my heart
My dreams that became a reality
Living is about taking responsibility
One can only see, but it takes analytical sight
Where there is darkness is followed by light
Where there are problems comes solutions from plight
The night that made me think
I am captioning the moment in ink
The night being more than a centerpiece fireplace
It’s time that never can be erased
Oh the joy in knowing
The plateau’s in life where one can reach
Destined in values
Virtues with there own individual hidden treasures
Elements all for good measure
The night I will absorb, but tomorrow life in meaning
A reason to live and conquests too achieve
Night like a temporary curtain, but outward in horizon being certain
I believe in me where others don’t
It’s the same people that won’t
I will persuade for all too see
Night is only my hour, but understanding at dawn will be my power.

Open Road on my mind
A trail of dust leaving behind
Cigarette in hand puffing smoke
Each letter is words spoken
My sunglass shades and bandana is on
My journey I expect will be long
The Motorcycle is all tuned up
The only thing to do is ride
My itinerary I don’t need to provide
Where I am heading being anywhere I am destined?
It doesn’t matter if is a city or town
But it’s far far away where I want to be bound
I am a Rough Rider being bold
Anything else will be put on hold
It’s just ride
Passing cars, trucks and buses
It’s my past I left behind
However, my journey being anywhere being a new life
My Motorcycle is the key offering a horizon advice
Again, just ride
My journey will go through deserts into the unknown
But throughout, it will be my life shown
I will stop for a bite in a Diner or Café, and take in a drink
If I see a pretty lady, I will certainly wink
In between, I will have time too think
I don’t want to fight to prove my point in a brawl
The opposition will be on a mean crawl
I am a Rough Rider who I call
I am as a Countrymen being tall and establishment for all
Let this Rough Rider introduce you to my world
Travel with me and your heart will swirl
Destination could be permanent in Nashville
Where there’s a way also a will
My Dust of my past is left in the distance
A new life that might not come in a instance
The goodness of relaxation of a new life with refreshing wine
I am also hungry and can’t wait to dine
A tomorrow became a permanent stay
I have travelled going my way
My sunrise has started my day
Rough Rider is ok and doesn’t need any good luck
Life is so sweet, and the bird’s are in their tweet
Rough Rider has truly arrived
But that’s no jive as I arrived safe and alive.

Hula to the shores
I see a Tsunami coming which I can’t ignore
I guess my hula caused a tidal wave
Ok hips, you need to behave
The hula must be done just right
But looking at my hips is a pitiful sight
Even the sun looks mad
Now that makes me feel sad
So much for the hula skirt
People on the beach are making a smirk
Let me stop using the hula with my hips before I cause an Earthquake
Even Heaven is saying, “For peak sake”
I guess one would have to give or take
Now attempting to do to the hula I do believe was a big mistake.

Momentum on a new high
This election surrounds you and I
Words beyond inspiring words
A mouth clearly stating I want to be heard
I will not mention any names
I will become a target being the blame
One politician has the right idea
Taking the opinions words away from hassle fear
This is the United States, as we must preserver

Every given moment of a rich opinion doom seems to get ever so close
Yet supporters want to boost
The separation of defend being most
This is happening coast to coast
From sea to shining free
This goes for all citizens including me
Justice for all regardless of color and creed
The Civil Rights Movement is what enabled America to proceed
It was injustice being an outcry need
Yet a certain voice wants to separate what an individual feels
But is this Presidential running mate for real?
Yes fellow Americans, the running mate wants to put a rock in your roadblock
But the encouragement to all, rock the vote
This is a serious election and shouldn’t be a mockery or joke

America must strive
Its not a matter of some have, and others have not
The White House can’t be a scene of a plot
We as voters must tie this knot
Thoughts are many, but outright uncanny
Stop the hate, but let’s come together in relate
It’s America and the world in how we communicate
This election surely must illustrate
Please vote in November before its too late
Our vote will determine our fate
Make November your date
The true President must be our Ambassador
However, we don’t need a matador
We had enough of all this bull
America’s cup is too full
Vote while you can, and question why you can’t
In any event, make it your chance
Voting is the only way we all can advance.

Pope Francis brings the aroma of Spirituality
When it comes being a Christian, it’s pure reality
He was a warrior from Heaven being the chosen word
Through God, he wanted Pope Francis to be heard
Italy might be his home base
But it was the messages of hope, Cope, Peace and prayer that many will keep in a vase
Pope Francis telling the word as he sees it
Listen, but make sure you hear
Observe, but don’t worry about fear
Closeness that God will always be near
Pope Francis having an eye on how people will achieve
Look the Devil in the eye that he shall not deceive
Taking the power of one’s faith
Turning that power into one’s fulfillment of God’s trust
The biblical sense being a must
Pope Francis simply was saying, “Follow me and let me teach”
But in regards to salvation, it’s God that will help you reach
His love for children and the prosperity within religion
It’s the reason to prayer and hands up
A Parent’s responsibility with sustaining religion within themselves
Children will lead when the old can no longer go the distance
It’s God’s overseeing that will be in an instance
The beauty of life
One never having to think twice
To the unfortunate, there is hope in the hills of Heaven
The hand that shall lead
God’s doctrine within the message in the hope into proceed
Knee at the threshold in God’s name
The goodness comes from within not needing blame
Pope Francis who is walking among this Earth
Assures us all and has given the world a new birth
A creed to live on, and staying in God’s kingdom where we all belong.

A Novelist thought clever in wanting to write a trivial story
He had all the details with bringing all its glory
How will the reader respond?
It’s anybody’s guess
The Novelist controls the theory being his trump card
But the story has a strong tail
Now let me illustrate without fail
The conclusion is the start with a turnaround
It was ****** in the start being a conclusion of the dialog
Later the story becomes a turnaround with knock at the door that led to the ******
Now there is no specific order
The idea is too visualize in your mind what the outcome should be
The Novelist is only setting the background with the situation
Yet there is a lot of reverse in the turnaround
The identity of the murderer is not really clear
But there is uncertainty being fear
The Novelist write, and suddenly pauses
He thinks to himself in where the story should begin
But does the reader want to depart instead
The conclusion in begin sounding more like an illusion
But there is a lot of confusion
Puzzled on face
This whole story could become a total erase

People labeled me what they thought
The image of me in what the world had me to be
It wasn’t a talk to find out
It was a play of my mind in being a bout
I was called a **** and ******
My voice was a very shy low
I was considered beyond average and my being below
I wasn’t what they thought
But how would I have convinced?
When the world has questions
What answer do you truly give?
I am beyond a verb and don’t consider myself an adjective
I began to challenge myself
This was strictly only for one self
The process didn’t require anybody else
Mirror Mirror on the wall
Why do I feel inadequate like a fall?
But the mirror advised to remain strong and stand tall
The world wants you to feel insufficient and stall
But you must be above all
A story from above, you were created being Heaven’s call
It was your inner heart in what I saw
Because of your given heart, I will encourage you in not to fall
Step out and hold you head up and act tall
Your life is destined for greatness
You are the man being the witness
Your paths are ready for you
Walk straight and continue to pursue.

The written word of someone’s life performed on stage
The dialog you will be amazed
The story of a young boy who was bullied and who wanted to commit suicide
But the inner emotion from within in being reside
My life is in shambles
I grew up to only be beat up
People thought I was gay
At least that was discussions way
Word got out from here to there astray
Discussions remained strong
I tried as I may to get along

My Parents even thought so as well
It wasn’t hard as I could tell
But that is not the whole story
I often get strange stares
Yet it wasn’t really crystal clear
I was called names beyond my own
I am you have heard of and they are known

I feel I am not worthy to live
I want to take my life and never again think twice
How should I commit suicide?
Take pills, hang myself or stab myself with a knife into my heart
My life has no meaning
I have no creed to proceed
People want me dead for what they think I have become
Their focus is next to none
I don’t even have my Parents to look upon

My tomorrow has become today
Perhaps I will be better off dead
Then I will never have to hear instead being misled
My eyes are beginning to close, and darkness being the overcast
That second came quick
I am no more.

The train has pulled into the station
Revelation the scripture being the indication
Attitude adjustment needed in meeting our Lord
This is no time to sit back and applaud
The hour is coming near
I am not trying to create fear
I want your life to be fulfilled in preserver
Seek Christ while he can be found
Think salvation and be Heaven bound
The earth is secrete ground
The eye’s of Christ is all around
Where will your soul be for eternity?
I am giving you true reality
The Train Conductor says all aboard
Destination Heaven to meet our Lord
Has your soul been relayed?
No ticket needed to explore
Glory Hallelujah for sure
Make sure your name is on the list
An everlasting trip you don’t want to miss.

I am going to try my hand in writing a book
I have shared my writing poetry and you all have taken a look
But writing a book requires being precise and concentration
I often think do I really have what it takes to write
At times I feel people are just being polite
When writing a book, I am not sure if I will excite
In fact, it might become a plight
Words will have to be just right
Sentences and phrases that should be tight
I want my book to have the rainbow and enduring light
This is how I feel perhaps I am making a big deal
Yet this is my thinking seal
I need encouragement but keep it real
I want to know how you feel.

This is more than an honor
It’s the words of every muse
It is also encouragement that everyone can use
Your mind in writing persuasion
Had everyone thinking being the indication
The dialog that had a route
The amazement in being a surprising shout
A phase that certainly captivated your amaze
Hearts deeply touched
A moment to just absorb
Then pausing moments to think of
The award goes to
All of us
Let’s all take our bow and that is a must
We are the words that come from our head
We have established a solid stead
Spotlight focusing on our daily approach
At times a little humor as a joke
So poets unite
We have shown the world our hidden creation being sight
Congratulations to all of us
Poetry is worth to make the fuss
Let’s continue to encourage others to follow in our lead
This is the time to praise and proceed
Share with the world your insights
Stand up and be proud
We are the voices and it is allowed.

Civil Rights, Civil Rights and Civil Rights
Freedom with a fight
Fed up with plight
It was walk and talk
A battle that had to be fought
The message got out
All that happened moving about
Greyhound took the message across the nation
It became the Freedom Riders presentation
Opposition tried to stop
Name calling in mock
Freedom stands for all
It was no time to stall
Greyhound’s rolling wheels focused enroute
The company supported what the Freedom Riders were trying to do
It was a mission the Freedom Riders had to pursue
Civil Rights being a follow through
Freedom Riders knew they couldn’t tire
The struggle couldn’t be an expire
The multitude of voices in shout
The Freedom Riders stood ******* principles
They were the anecdote with a cure
Freedom simply needed to be secure
Multitude strong with pride
It was togetherness in the Freedom Riders stride
Civil Rights is still an issue today
The world must take a stand all the way
There can’t be a command with a demand
Justice is for throughout the land
Thank You Freedom Riders for the path
This is not the last
Greyhound thanks for the Civil Rights destination
As for the Freedom Riders, you are the face of the nation.

The total body experience all inside
A moment on thought but not on hide
Think agenda’s, but move on stride
Christmas meaning more than presents
The birth of Jesus an everlasting presence
But the best gift of all is the breath of life
Nothing can compare and not even a touch of spice
You can keep thinking, but that would be questioning twice
It’s all being sincere within the heart
More than tears and far from fears
It’s that special closeness that you hold near
The word is love in the preserver
Help one another
Be like no other
Seek to continue to explore
Don’t ignore nor subtract being no more
Life is an open door
What you think is closed but is subject to sure
What seems in what it might not seem
It is your assurance in you seeing in the actual seen
Christmas is a time to spread joy
Perhaps giving a less fortunate child a toy
Bring joy to someone who needs joy restored
You are the fulfilled in giving
This is the key in living
A motto to live by, “If I can help someone”
Watch as you and the person see eye to eye
Tomorrow was yesterday, but the future will always be a new day.

The number between 23 and 25
But 24 is for you to strive
Experience you gained before
Opportunities for you to explore
24 a numerical sequence
Be open, but don’t close
When there is a problem, you should expose
Rational thinking shouldn’t be suppose
24 being your time to step up
It should be your reason to climb
But always remember and keep in mine
“The choices you make are strictly your own”
But I know you have always known
24 is for you to soar
The number 24 is your score
You have a voice, and now expel on the speaking floor
Be confident and certainly sure
Well 24 is a number you don’t want to ignore
Become an after and remembrance of before
Therefore
24 is knocking and waiting for you to open the door.

It’s the many situations that arise
Yet it is documentation that is seen with thine eyes
Voices that argue present no truth
The route to deceive
It is not the assumption to perceive
But carefully analyzing in what is actually received
Voice of chosen words
Open ears in being heard
The multitudes in overwhelming mount
It’s the resolutions that truly count
Unity being the community
My sisters and brothers
We are like no other
The proof being the movement and documents being the solid brass
The evidence in being up front and not making it last
Coming together in visualizing effort
What is unpleasing and distasteful too think
It’s like a downing ship that will only sink
Yet prosper on meaningful thoughts with direction leading to possibilities in organized sought
But it takes continual activity
This is what is too become a reality
Lift every voice and sing
Yet I want to leave you with one thing
“Action in multitude and together we shall soothe”
With that said, I must conclude.

I think back on achievements I made in my walking miles
Dreams of imaginations during while
Struggles that were sustained
Yet having the inspiration that remained
Determination at every turn
Lessons through learning being experience
But through it all, it took endurance
Many Heritage achievers were my influence
Inspiration that could only come from a true achiever
There were decisions to make
Traditions to break
Stand strong and it doesn’t matter how long
Like my many ancestors before me, be determined and don’t tire
You have dignity and honor being the desire
Faith in believing in doing in value worth receiving
Abilities all surrounded by efforts
Hate from others being morality that you process
Negativity only makes you stronger
Didn’t fall to weak is a form of defeat
Pushed on no matter what the obstacle
It was a matter to either go over the struggle or around it
The whole time was survival and encouragement you can make it
Life is about fulfilling a commitment one aims for
It’s the confidence that makes it sure
Understanding one’s purpose and coming together with the outspoken voice
However, it is assurance in knowing that everlasting is marvelous, and the creed of shall and can being obvious.

My writing ideas began to stop
My pages became darkness with no light
The blank page a plight
Yet I wondered why all through the night
My inner soul wasn’t thinking
My desired for writing was surely sinking
Will I ever write again?
Will my inspiration give me a new blend
But for now my writing is a pause at the end
Suddenly the skies became my answer
The horizon was the clouds in my writing being told
Slowly my heart had the urge to write in being sold
A very merciful voice said, “Your writing never really stopped as it was only a consequence off cue that intervened”
I was writing because I want to achieve
I certainly don’t want other writers too think I want to deceive
I write because of the gratification
I write, as it’s me in my masterpiece being my identification
My soul says continue to write
The other side of me says don’t write and let it be a plight
My pen guides my hand and says write and your mind will illustrate how much your words excite
A sudden writing call
This is my inspiration for all.

Why is it people will believe a Meteorologist?
But when it comes to the Lord, it’s having no Faith at all
Why is it the Heavenly Father who controls, people turn away?
The Heavenly one is the one who can destroy and move elements being Almighty
This is reality
Why is it people will read a novel book or computer news from beginning to end, but won’t pick up a Bible and read a scripture waiting on when?
The Bible has stories that actually happened or is prophesized to happen
But people just don’t believe
Yet the Lord is the one that gives relief
He also offers strength during grief
So why is the separation in who believes
Man functions on possibilities and assumptions
The Lord being Almighty in definite
Assurance you can trust
These are all added pluses
People tend to think they are their own victorious
But the Lord is involved and it is he who does the problems in resolve
So many more questions after questions
The question is, have you truly found the definite answer?
The answer is the environment was created not by man, but a more superior being
Man can think, but wisdom comes from understanding through the Superior
Man can’t construct nor destroy
Man is the decoy, but the powerful one instills the joy.

The key to this poem is “Elevation”
Planning your destination for success
You proved that you can learn
Now excel and go out and earn
You knew education would be a role in being a plus
Yet it is the absolute must
Theories have approaches
Analytical yet logical
The purpose is to position yourself
Stability with a solid direction
Making sure your options are your alternatives
Negativity force stay away
Positive aspects being the way
Now your parents and guardians tried to encourage where possible
The lesson from the start was preparation for survival in life
Now that has come in being my advice
But here is something I want to share
“You go the learning angle, but go out and use what you learned”
Sounds simple enough
Yet put practice into action
Try to grasp the concepts
Adaptability in following suit
Intellect in seeing the reasoning
But feel proud of yourself in what you have accomplished
It becomes apparent in what you have established
Remember a craft is a talent falling under ability
Don’t give into defeat, but break through the barriers
So turn your graduation caps graduates
You earned it well
Through the applause its an overwhelming tell
Now go out with all your ambitions, and present yourself like a Salesmen and sell
Courageous you are, it’s your own elevation that will take you far.

Every year it is always the same
It’s enough to make a Turkey go insane
We are the feast
This will be my getaway at ease
I will hop on a Greyhound bus
I am definitely avoiding the fuss
My travelling is a must
This will be a permanent vacation
I am feeling the appreciation
This will be the Turkey’s thanks
I intend to always be a Turkey among
Greyhound will take me to my journey being nothing but fun
A lane changer being no pun
This Turkey is on a scheduled run
A Turkey only understands
The same old tradition of dinner tables having the Turkey as the main course
I am taking action being the force
Feeling at ease while taking in the refreshing breeze
Lying on a Florida beach
They can’t catch me now as I am hard to reach
The sun will be me a Golden tan
Dinner tables will have to find another plan
Thanksgiving is my take away
I won’t be caught by no ax
This Turkey is controlling the facts
Florida might be my permanent stay
Dinner Tables I will always astray
My leisure moment and I am ok
Being the serving never on any day
Dinner tables can have their feast, I am free to breathe at ease.

God who sits high above
It’s the glory and honor that I can think of
A man who died on the cross for our sins
His mercies daily that always begins
Biblical times from the days of then
Praising and joyful in being can
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
The Lord is our Heavenly host
Yes, there is a lot to boast
I can call on the Lord 24/7
It could be late as eleven
Our own US monetary has in God we trust
The establishment even goes in being a must
You see, salvation is for you to explore
This is something that you shouldn’t ignore
In God we trust
This is something that affects us
A praying hand faith
A walk with thee
Being the light being the key and the beacon for all to see.

How did a man get a name STAGE COPELAND
He got it when he was a tot
Stage would pretend to perform in front of his family and friends in performances he had seen
On any occasion, you would see stage acting out drama at home in his own way
Having a name like Stage is fitting for the stage
Well as he grew up into a teenager, the thought acting on stage became a deep down passion
With the name Stage, he was ready to perform
So Stage joined a small Acting Theater group in his town
Stage performed, “MY MISSION”
It was a story about a man who had nothing but ambitions in being a success
Yet it was more of a testimony turning into a confess
After while Stage had become a very good Actor, but was ready to advance
Luckily, there was a Broadway opportunity being chance
Imagine performing on the Great White way
Well that would be a highlight being ok
The Broadway Show was called “YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET”
However, Stage had talent and Broadway would be getting the commodity of get
So STAGE auditioned and caught the Director’s attention
I don’t need to mention
STAGE got the Lead Role
He played the Leading Role of Franklin Stewart, a man who wanted to be in show business
How fitting, Stage would be the perfect witness in playing an actual part that describes him
Well its show time
The orchestra music has begun
The curtain is rising up
Applause from the audience
Performance of a lifetime has transcended
Dramatic line, “Acting has always been in my blood, the inspiration is like water flowing like a flood”
STAGE got thunderous applause
He acted the dramatic acts playing the role that was similar to his own
STAGE and the Cast bow to the audience
Then the curtain comes down
The performance could be described as stardom bound.

I see a troubled world
Many don’t have Christ within their lives
Many are leading understanding within their own strives
Tomorrow’s arrival and future being everlasting still
Heaven who sees below and observes stubborn wills
Heaven’s movement being the show
God’s spirit establishing the flow
A world where a few pray
Some are living without salvation and are slowly decaying
It means you haven’t declared God as your salvation, and you will die with the Devil on your side
Where exactly will your soul preside?
Follow the trail from Heaven to Earth
This was a commitment starting from birth
The unbeliever being a loss soul time bomb
There could be an explosion at any given time
But salvation predestinates the bomb from going off and all the praises of resources combined
Even though I am high up in Heaven
I pray for a world that accept salvation still
I am giving you the opportunity at your own will
I want too see you all up here where I reign
All thou flesh will remain
The soul will be caught up in a Heavenly bout
Praises, Joy and Hallelujah is what I am talking about
Heaven being far from earth
A new nation forming a new birth
It’s riches of what Heaven is worth
It is also how stable you have made your salvation too become
My indication to people that salvation is not just for some
It is an open door to all too just come.

Clouds gather of an approaching storm
Yet in the wake, it is the Lord in don’t be alarmed
Strikes of lightening flashed through the sky
The rain came and I saw being a witness such as I
Suddenly the rain poured every so heavy
My heart was pounding like an overflowed levy
One last thunder roar
Then suddenly the storm was no more
The clouds parted and went their separate ways
Yes I explored this in a lifetime on this day
I wondered because the storm was ever so strong
The days seemed shorter, but wasn’t getting long
One’s thought only for a moment
One’s life departure in a second
One’s journey spirit in flight
What’s on one’s mind of beckin?
Has the storm truly passed?
Was the skies casting its mask?
For now the storm has passed
Can we live through another storm and be surpassed?
We must wait and observe
But the earth is loss in its own deserve.

Poet’s words capturing the reader’s heart
A story dialog that makes its mark
The heart of another that the Poet to whom he wishes express
Heart to heart being a true confess
Poets are who we are
Our ideas of words and thoughts have travelled far
But it is the Poet who always says it best
We are more than a phrase on a baseball cap
To get our attention just do a shoulder tap
The Poet in telling their story that will amaze
A moment of have you heard
Happiness in one verse
Desperation being controlled in reverse
The Poet’s angle alone
Encouragement that the Poet wants to be known
To the reader, it is actually being shown
A Poets enduring piece
A charmer who wants notions to be released
So heart of the inner soul
Words that come from a faceless hole
It’s line by line being the scroll
It is the entirety being the whole
The writing Queens and Kings being the majesty of the “Heart of the Poet”
Refreshing enjoyment and sentences being food for the soul
Poetry that never gets old.

An Edgar Allan Poe thrill
A house and a Raven on a hill
The house surrounded by a gate
A test of fright that won’t be late
The eerie feeling of a darkness fitting the slate
From deep within a spirits soul
Its wonders of fate in behold
The mysterious from inner after
A case of another chapter
A Raven flies in flesh to ****
But the question of wait still
It’s the moment of wait until
Echoing voices from within the house
The pacing of a frightened mouse
Lightening flashes through the sky
It is daylight and no one knows why
Yet the house has a mission
It’s the humans being under submission
Spirits are looking for soul’s to live in
A new life to live in
Yet on universal go
Blood thirsting being the flow
A house and a Raven maneuvering slow
You as a reader will never ever know.

We will have to vote for two Presidential candidates
It will be November being the Election date
This will require all of us to participate
I won’t mention any names
I will let individual track records in what will remain
Being the President is a very important job
It involves numerous resolutions to solve
This is a time where all people need to come together
Actually relate to one another
Separation is a thing of the past
It shouldn’t be a disguise hiding behind a mask
It’s decisions with precision
Debates in now one relates
It shouldn’t be emotions being a fate
Chief Ambassador in bringing countries to agreeable terms
Having understanding and a strategy to present
After all, The President is the U.S. represent
The White House is only a temporary resident
Yet during those four years, it’s about standing up to Congress to pursue
Always having new ideas to always look through
Remember, we must chose the true candidate to be
Then later vote with wait and see
A true change in what the U.S. people want
Not a voice being only a mire chant
Yet having a stature with personality to match
A theory being a well documented catch
However, always observing being a watch
Politics in the air
This was something I had to share
Keep your eye on the voting booth and let caution be your beware.

It was time people forgot
It was at a party where people got their drinking shot
The night was young
It was time to have fun
The moon was bright on the streets
The moment caught people in a tweet
Suddenly the earth did a reverse
What was truly happening too the earth
The world was changing
You could say the environment was rearranging
There was panic circling all around
Yet the streets were where people could be found
There was cracking and echoing sounds
Immediately the sun seemed to turn black
The sky was evidenced in what was lacked
The theory of scientist of who weren’t really sure
But this was something they needed to explore
There were waves rising higher than the shores
This phenomenon could no longer be ignored
Time was revolving
But no one has any reason in solving
Suddenly without warning, a miracle did a reverse
The earth didn’t become its own hearse
The quarter turn wasn’t the first
What will happen in the future, could it be for the worse?

The Greyhound name that got around
Across the country are terminals and small depots that are found
But the Greyhound name is still destination bound
Greyhound travelled roads when roads didn’t even exist
Oh that stretched Greyhound dog that no one can resist
The trademark known worldwide
The travelled miles
The varying paint schemes
State too state and town too town
Oh yes, that Greyhound continues to move around
Greyhound’s history full of achievements
Elements were always the test
But our Greyhound Driver training says it best
“DRIVE WITH PRIDE”
The customers will enjoy the ride
Greyhound is a company anywhere bound
Hear engine and watch on the highway in the Greyhound sound
Departure with an arrival
The vast of Greyhounds to just marvel
Greyhound has been doing for years
It all started with Anderson and Wickman rugged pioneers
If you want proof, look at Greyhound’s track record
It seemed Greyhound wouldn’t survive
Yet Greyhound weathered many storms
It was far from any norm
The Greyhound Bus Company continues being the highway journey
It’s name being worthy
So Greyhound continues to be on the move
The wheels are rolling and operation being everything to prove.

What really happened to Humpty Dumpty?
Nursery rhythms said he had a great fall
But who really made that call?
Now it could have been someone who had revenge
Rage beyond expectation
There were eyes being a witness who actually saw what happened to Humpty Dumpty?
He could have been cracked open
Certainly there was a purpose
It was a case being over easy with sunny side up
Yet someone won’t confess because they are all fed up
So many question with no precise answers
It’s an egg shell mess still with no confess
So the mystery of Humpty Dumpty fall still lives on
A story with its own dialog
A Nursery rhythm having a belong
But for now I must say so long.

Put that farewell vibe on hold
I am a performer and I am going to be bold
I have a story that needs to be told
The spotlight is what started me to enter
My Broadway performance will not be over until I sing
But just remember one thing
It might be a sour note I hit
I guess at some point my Broadway regards will be it
But for now, Broadway calls
I have established myself for all
I must answer
Now Broadway being the Great White Way
I feel the rhythm and the music sounds ok
But what direction do I take?
I might have made one mistake
The audience seems to applause
It’s there reason of course
I think will add the piano to my entertainment
As show business states, one must have total commitment
Just my luck, the piano cover will probably fall on my fingers
I could just see it now, the pain will continue to linger
I will do my best to entertain
But someone in the audience yelled, “That sour note singer can no longer remain”
Talk about Audience Rebellion taking aim
All I can do is to continue to perform and don’t complain
Broadway Eyes, please help me to be wise
At some point, I guess I will have to apologize
But Broadway has me all charged up and I am energized
Yet wait a moment, the Duracell bunny has stepped on the stage and I am totally surprised
He went on and on and all I can do was just yond
As for me, the orchestra even had their revenge
I guess this is my end to Broadway
Short as it was
I had no choice but to give my regards to Broadway
The curtain immediately came down
Later I was no where to be found
I simply got out of town.

I wonder
I strive to be
Yet hesitate in my own maybe
My assurance has no influence
I lack total endurance
My eyes just look up
But my heart feels all stir up
A problem seems to surround
I am loss in my own bound
I need access to gather my thoughts while they yet can be found
My sentences are my uttering words
Am I dreaming or did I just want to be heard?
My wonder is actually myself
I am human just like everybody else
So I should wonder no more and just explore.

Thank you for bravery and courage
Your service well deserved
You are proud to serve
You are a Soldier distinguished
Your mission being an assignment being a try
Don’t stop on the battlefield to cry
America’s protection in the mist
No boundary will ever separate us
Eyes on detail an absolute must
The Flag illustrates your dignity and honor to be a Soldier
It doesn’t matter rank nor being military retired
A Veteran is a Soldier for life regardless
Your honor I always pray
Faith is the key every step of the way
Being a Soldier is our inspiration in everything will be ok
God is your shield
The enemy will always be revealed
I salute on Veterans Day
I need no more to say.

When my spirits are down
You know how to turn me around
You told me to lift my eyes to the sky
Because there was inspiration for I
It was faith instilling step out and move on
There is where strength that keeps you strong
When it comes to dance
It is assurance being your advance
When things look weary and I get teary
There is no mystery and God has his own simple theory
Voice with being merciful as a lamb and being a friend you can always talk to
The courage being the wonder
It’s all the aspects from yonder
You raised me up
It is your salvation that fills my cup
But it’s my inner soul in the stir up, and Trust in how I will achieve
It was talent you always knew I had, and you brought it out
I am full of praise and thanks Lord for that joyful shout.

Not from a James Bond Flick
He is Mr. Big who was slick
I see you grasping for air
Yeah Mr. Big was beyond compare
Mr. Big was a Gambling and Player Mobster
You could say he was large like a Lobster
Mr. Big stood 6’3 dangerous tall
He was also known too all
He appeared like a Monster if he was to attack
In fact, if you were to hit him with a baseball bat it would crack
Money and Ladies is what Mr. Big was about
When it came to romantic interludes, it would be oh Mr. Big in shout
Mr. Big was heavy in Gambling
Heavy sums in money, and if he didn’t win, a few broken bones on oppositions
Well Mr. Big was large and in charge and didn’t need any permission
After all, Mr. Big had the name for a reason
It had nothing to do with seasons
Yet Mr. Big was a big spender
He wore expensive Diamond Rings, and Gold plated Bracelets with Custom made suits
Mr. Big was big in business pursuits
He also had tattoos on both arms that read, “BIG BY CHOICE”
When Mr. Big enters a room attention is mounted on the spot
Woman would stare upon stare and couldn’t stop
The woman were like butter and would melt just by the sheer size of Mr. Big
I should also mention Mr. Big had bulging muscles on his arms
Mr. Big might be considered as a King Kong alarm
One could always see a mobster with detail
Everything to gain and nothing to fail
One time Mr. Big got into a fight with another Mobster known as “The Shield” and Mr. Big’s suit sleeves Jacket rip with stress from his anger
It was apparent of the look at Mr. Big’s biceps being a tip
But that didn’t stop the Shield in intimidation
So the fight was on
The mission, there’s only room for one mobster and that’s Mr. Big, Chief Mobster
Mr. Big and The Shield had their bout
There was definitely no way out
The Shield attempted to toss Mr. Big but he was too big
You dig
Mr. Big picked up the shield like it was nothing
It was as if the Shield was weights
Mr. Big later dropped the Shield hard, and the Shield was knocked out cold
Mr. Big was powerful and bold
Well Mr. Big won and proved he was the true king pin
Mr. Big wants you to wager your bets
This is as good as it is going to get
Mr. Big conquered and saw
No need for me too go further and continue in explore.

Father I cry
My tears flow like a fountain
My heart continues to be weary
I need comfort to quite it my soul
I need God’s holy spirit to help me look up and see behold
A son loss in a struggle of despair
Yet you are the Savior that no one can compare
I pray deep
I need your mercy in keep
Your spirit tells me through darkness there is a light
This light is in remembrance in helping you overcome your plight
Trust in the above
Jesus the almighty to think of
A scar being a mire cut
I know it doesn’t sound like much
But God delivers and he does comfort

A sunrise with a darkened heart
A triggered shot with a hushed voice
Acceleration of life with tomorrow having no meaning
Another soul to sleep
The Devil’s demise in attempt to keep
God’s eye in wonder
Heavenly soul gone yonder
A young life cut short from the score
A question of justice in needing to explore
A time to pray
A nation in turmoil not feeling ok
The question being when will the volence end?
Tears on what will tomorrow be?
An uncertain pause of wait and see

Life we question in what it seems
However, it is the praying hands given to above
Once again it is Heaven that we think of
Endure in the goodness
I am the witness
To sleep is only a victory on a new tomorrow
A sunrise will return
Everyday living being an urn
God can and will
But continue to think on God still
God will comfort in your distress
But believing in faith your own personal test
Everlasting, fulfillment and joy as the final word
An ending sermon in have you heard
Peace unto you
The praises that is due
Walk in stride as you take God’s word to abide
My lips in one last kiss
Heaven’s doors open wide and remembering the hour in your stride.

The house walls seems to be closing in
One doesn’t have a clue in what to do when
One’s thinking living could very well be anyone’s end
If this house could talk and what would it say?
We don’t get many visits on any given day
Suddenly the house spoke, “If you enter you will be stalked”
Sounds like a run for your life too me
But let’s enter and just let be
As the house haunts
It’s bone and flesh in what it wants
However, I feel the house could be playing taunting
Ghostly creatures immediately pop out
My feet want to move swiftly and about
Get ready to run but on your mark
Breathe while you can
It’s a full moon tonight, and there will be a plight
Darkness with no light
1550 Center High Street, but with no good-bye yet
Yes 1550 Center High Street
The same house with a mystery treat
Yet you dare not take a peek
A house with several traps
The eerie feeling that will have you taking a crap
Many have tried to see what the house was all about
However all you could ever hear was nothing but screams and shouts
Lightening and thunder seem to surround the house
The house even scares the life of a small mouse
The house sits on a high hill
It seems too have its own will
However, mystery as it sounds, the house fits the bill
But just be very still
Happy Halloween Until.

A Poet loss in their own words
A point of no return
Ideas mounting like flames in an unbreakable urn
Sentences that prepared the words for take off
Journey through the Poet’s inspiration
The speed being acceleration
The Poet establishing a tomorrow
The pinnacle having a morrow
Being the steady pace of arrival today
There are moments when the Poet could go astray
Yet at that point, it is ok
The reason being the thinking in progress
A mind getaway would be considered like recess
A Poet’s thoughts are always on the move
Having everything to prove
A Poet being who the person is
Emotions the Poet wants to express
To the reader, it could be a sign of a confess
But always remember, the Poet holds the everlasting test
The Poet is the only key to their mind
No Pass or Fail
A straight line being direct to the Poet’s trail.

Jerry, the GM PD-4106 bus is what I call
There was a period of stall
But wait, that’s not all
The GM PD-4106 bus of the past with possibilities
The bus was once the workhorse at Greyhound being reality
But because the PD-4106 was a bus of the 1960’s, it no longer had a function
The General Manager and Maintenance team had stuffed the bus way in the back in the bus company’s yard behind the garage where no one would notice
The Smith Brothers Bus Company had Heavy Charter traffic, and with all new updated features that the GM PD-4106 didn’t have from the past
So Jerry being had no use, but stay in the back and collect dust
The General Manager and Maintenance felt that was an absolute must
They thought there no fuss
How uncertain they were
But something happened for the good for GM PD-4106 that no one expected
A group needed to charter a vintage bus for a bus museum trip
Jerry was the only vintage bus on the lot
It wasn’t a plot
But I can tell you, the updated buses didn’t like that a lot
Jerry the GM PD-4106 was finally noticed
The updated buses started jealousy around the bus company place
Even the General Manager and couldn’t even erase
Jerry was the talk of the town
So vintage buses, man your stations
You are still the best from vintage back of all time creations
GM PD-4106 proved that
It is pure fact
So what happened to Jerry after the charter?
Jerry became a permanent bus to a proud owner in becoming a traveling motorhome.
