PIPE DREAMS

Not impossible
Just possibilities
Curious minds unfold
Imagination vibes
Journey through expectancy
Hidden thoughts beyond
Decisions to make
Avoiding any mistakes
Give and take
Dreaming stories
Surprises within realizes
Logic through understanding
Wild as it seems
Wavy streams
One point to several theories
One thing after another
Each dream different from the other
Dare to imagine
Only to dream

FALLEN FROM GRACE
preservationman Jul 2016
My praises used to be within
But that was the past from then
My raised hands came down
I was long salvation bound
There was no singing being the sound
The falling weight felt like a pound
I turned away from God’s praying hands
I became part of the Devil’s band
I was Evil that won out
As to why happened, it’s nothing to talk about
The fact, I have fallen from grace
It was that Devil who approached
It was that same Devil that called the Lord a joke
I questioned my own Faith
What do I Believe?
What happened to my commitment and responsibility to God?
I knew I had to come back from being fallen
I felt I was now a villain
This is not what the Lord wanted me to be
Heaven observes and I know they can see
Yet I have fallen from grace
It’s going to be a long road back
Somehow I will have to back track
I am God’s human creature that shouldn’t settle for that
But I must find how I will get back
Fallen from grace, but only for the moment
I will eventually return to Heaven’s voice
But a lot of praying and forgiveness being my choice
Fallen, but I need to stand up
From, one on one redemption
Grace, God never left me
I need my Faith to be responsive and secure
God being the almighty, and having the spiritual cure
Fallen on while and heaven’s voice bringing me back with encouragement being the style.

The story of a travelling little girl that was intrigued by a hand at the steering wheel
It all happened on a bus in the south
These are my words straight with the account from my mouth
As the narration goes, a little girl who ventured on a regular basis traveling from Houston, Texas to St. Charles, Louisiana
It wasn’t just any trip, it was family visits
All covered by the Hound Bus, but there was something about that Hound Bus and it was the Operator that was always the driver
I am going to say the name of the Driver being Harry
Now I don’t know much about Harry and the Little Girl, but I do know, there was admiration and a feeling of belonging
I do know that the Little Girl back then was his number one travelling passenger
I was on my way to Houston, Texas after spending 7 Days in New Orleans
So the bus made a stop in St. Charles, Louisiana where a Female Adult boarded going to Houston sharing with me her story with knowing the Hound Bus Driver since she was a Little Girl
I found it interesting to learn, she was still friends even in her Adulthood.
But remember, we are in the South and South always show hospitality and greetings that last a lifetime
I observed when the driver asked the Female Adult to do certain things with the tickets in punching, and she definitely knew what to do
I knew then, yes, and that Little Girl never forgot and the Driver was like her Dad
The Female Adult travelled on that route on a regular basis
The Hound Bus was no stranger, and the story certainly not out of the ordinary
I will never forget that day with a remembrance as if it was yesterday
It was the affection and caring like a Father to a Daughter
The Hound Roadrunner showing the way
A Little Girl all grown up returning the admiration and in the passenger seat where she wants to stay.

STORMS WITH A MESSAGE
preservationman Sep 2017
Lead not to your understanding
Get your mind off Washington and world struggling events
Concentrate on Earth
God who controls
Man’s mysteries in God’s miracles of behold
Destruction is disobedience
The Heavenly one giving a reminder to the world
You are not seeking and living Faith
You are not in the Lord’s believing, and it is the reason you are not getting a blessing in receiving
The hurricanes are my wrath
The Tornados are my power
The Thunderstorms are my voice
Prophesy being fulfilled
Acceptance to God’s word one must have a determined will
Each and every day, we as the world must pray
It’s not words we say, but what biblical scriptures that say being ok
We are world that could end tomorrow
Yet many people are living in darkness and sorrow
However, the Lord is the refreshing fruit having a morrow
Yet you should continue to pray
I want the world to be inspired and have lives being ok
A world that shouldn’t show hate
The inner spirit should have respect
It shouldn’t be any elect, and certainly not scholarly in intellect
The world grows by understanding the Lord
You are guided by praising his accord
Knowledge comes from being educated in the Lord
Storms upon storms will continue
But be watchful in the skies
There are not biblical surprises
But it is salvation having a realize
The realize is knowing who Christ is, and his blood giving us life
When struggles come it is the Heaven advice
Remember world, I am Christ who sits high and the Earth I observe
I don’t have to utter one word
I am the Lord who controls
Great I am
Be watchful as I am coming back to Earth to Judge the world
Be ready to meet the Lord almighty
A change could be at any given hour, second or moment
Tomorrow could very well be today
But are you everlasting ready?
Your soul having an internal home
Heaven being the place where praises will roam
Keep praying before it is too late
Disobedience is a hesitate
Follow the Lord before it is too late.

The world seems to always make a face
This is an every day trace
A face rolled putting someone on alarm
The attitude added with a possibility to harm
It’s time to take a moment, and look at one’s self in the mirror
As Michael Jackson’s song reminds, “Man in the Mirror”
We all need to make that change
It’s about self-improvement with a new image
We need to come out of self
Have respect, but don’t act like anybody else
Respect is a two way street
We can’t let evil take control and it becomes a defeat
Life how you live is a plan
This comes totally under your command
It’s a priority being a demand
Personalities come under all traits
Don’t act like you don’t know as you can relate
But as an individual, one shouldn’t hesitate
Once again, respect costs nothing
Why have an attitude with someone who hasn’t done you wrong, and especially you don’t know
I am sure at this point or perhaps before faces have changed and now the nose is sticking up
But truth must be said
Either change composure what’s holding you back
Perhaps converse and share the communicating track
Maybe just stand back
Having an attitude with one another won’t change a thing
It’s about fellowship in harmony being the sling
You must believe in yourself and have Faith that you can do it
There is nothing more that needs to fit
But the hatred and anger that needs to quit.

Once upon a time
No comfort combined
A bus was the start being the Stagecoach
But the Stagecoach doesn’t get my vote
There was Dust that made any traveler choke
Hilly Frontier
Are we there yet in Preserver?
Rainy Days and Nights during violet Thunderstorms
Lightning flash
Stuck in a stagecoach with no dash
However, did I mention how Indians would stagecoach attack
Perhaps John Wayne would fit this track
However, you can history back in fact
Stagecoach travel through the countryside
It did wonders on one’s backside
From destination to destination
Stagecoach travel for me would be a hesitation
Passengers had to take in the bumps
Lead me to the next Saloon
I hope I arrive soon
There were times the stagecoach was a praying event
Now look where time went
This is stagecoach 101 I present

LUST WAR
preservationman Aug 2017
Beauty to the eyes
Looking for a romantic interlude
The summer air was making our ***** feel soothe
Our bodies were silky and smooth
Yet we were naked as we were
Sweat pouring down our bodies
It was take me for all I am worth
Sensual alarms were going off through my head
Our emotions seemed to ring high
I have no reason as of why?
But we were turned on, and I knew I had to give intimacy a try
We were kissing and caressing
It was hold on I was in for a rough ride
That journey had me in a never ending stride
It was an adventure interlude I must confess
Yet I felt I must pass this stamina test
However there seemed to be a lust war between the two of us
In between, we seemed to fuss
Than later we both began to cuss
We discovered our intimacy was no longer a must
There were plenty of minuses and no plus
Steady began uneasy
I felt used and taken for granted
Lust having no confident in being sure
But I knew we had to settle this score
The whole segment was an interlude just needing to just explore.

Toyland will never be the same
Yet kid’s hearts of happiness will always remain
But Santa’s Toyland Elves can’t leave the punch bowl alone
No sense of direction being shown
So it’s that alcohol drink being their pick me up
But its there are delays plenty in toy making production
In fact, the Elves are all drunk
I just found one Elf passed out in a trunk
Another Elf is stuck on the ceiling
This you won’t not believe, another Elf is asking the Christmas Tree for a date
Now for Heaven’s sake
Christmas is just days away
However, what would Santa say?
Santa would say, “No delays on this day”
Toys have too be made
Schedule in toy production is not out of the shade
Get to work Elves
It’s not a matter of what else
Kids are depending on us
I am making this toy production an absolute must
So sober up with no fuss
It’s about the kids all over being our priority plus.

LIFE STREAM
preservationman Aug 2017
Struggles yet extending inspiration
Life is a beginning in knowing how to live
Many times fresh fruit of pure delight
Then at other times sour grapes with life echoing pity sight
Life is how you see life
Yet life will require in taking in some wise advice
But each person should take the steering wheel in control the direction of their own life
However one who thinks pity should turnaround with a strategic witty
One lives their life to the fullest
Yet life can be shorten without any given notice
But will you live out your life completely
That is determined in how good of a life you had and how you chose to live
But never, and I do mean never take life for granted
Your living period you have within life cherish every moment
Life says caption those Kodak and selfie for a lifetime of remembrance
Before you can value other people take pride within yourself
Life is about caring and loving
Yesterday is always temporary but have tomorrows to come you haven’t seen
But in life there will be sorrow
A heartfelt sadness
As the saying goes, “Joy comes in the morning”
Let your life be fulfilled at your doorstep being life to live at your will.

This poem I hope you won’t ignore
Let my words airborne you in soar
Yet intrigue with you to explore
Numbers sequence being a specific count
Climb that ladder with an endurance mount
Penny’s from Heaven found
But listen carefully, there’s no sound
The number one being a leader of the pack
But the order is forming a stack
Total sequence
But they have no defense
Its just numbers having their way
In fact, it involves timing every day
It’s numbers having a schedule
It’s the arrive and depart
There’s a Sunrise that is the start
Add it and sum it up
Numbers control your entire life
Your Horoscope of your birth is your daily advice
Hours, Seconds and Minutes
A test of your on-time performance
Your own numbers for you to figure out
Think on that as your daily task as you move about.

Not a Country
Nor is it immigration
A tomorrow came
But I am living it today
Sounds like a riddle
But there is no fiddle
It’s the Earth’s inspiration
Learning lesson
A lot to understand
I am standing on solid land
Sometimes I wonder
Why having a lot of questions?
Yet no answers
I have been granted
Permission on my part
The Earth making it my start
Purpose
Having a lead
Amazing Earth beyond my expectations
Yet thankful and appreciative
One who refuses to live don’t know
One who embraces opportunity excels
Some say, “Who am I”?
A person for all generations
I am the image from who and where I was created
Legacy in part, but comes further than Earth’s reach
I know you don’t understand
Perhaps no explanation needed
I am my own universe
Living, breathing, Granted and qualified.

Various Staff members are either being laid off without notice

No assurance having an ok
However, if employee was moved to another location
Once again, disappearance suddenly being the indication

The wonder is all in God’s amaze
As I read each given word by Imran Islam, my mind focused on the word through God’s wonders that are always at the surface
As I read even further, I saw assured
It was total inspiration from beginning to end
Yet, when walking with God comes commitment
Then followed by condition of praise
My own testimony is living at God’s will
Still
Do we following God with trust fulfilling the bill
Sometimes Darkness you can’t see direction, but when light is offered, one guided through guidance to conquer all struggles in circumstances
Opportunity being a chance
Faith is how one advances
Heaven is wait
The World has individual dates
But the Poetic words says only a moment
Time will fulfill
Be ready at will
Each individual Poetic chapter sustaining the Holy Scriptures in the Bible
I thought of “Steadfast, Understanding, Wisdom and Knowledge”
This is who the Lord is and will always be
Within our hearts, this is something we all should see
Seek and you shall find
A Lord powerful yet Merciful and kind
Attributes the Lord wants us all to have and live by
Salvation, give the Lord a try
We are all God’s Messengers
Words in and out within the Lord’s goodness
Poetic words of God’s love embrace
Pray and be blessed
Be guided completely, but don’t take God for less as it is his everlasting in how we reach success.

Lately I noticed you weren’t home at night
Suspicion was in plain sight
So I thought, but gave you the benefit of the doubt
But when I confronted you on your love affair, we always argued and shouted
You abruptly stated, “You are not seeing another woman”
Yet woman were calling the house asking for you throughout the day
Your excuse was business clients always illustrating your way
There really isn’t any reason for this marriage to continue and stay
We took our marriage vows as man and wife
I often was told, I need marriage advice
I thought we had a good marriage being connected, and I didn’t have to think twice
Our marriage was like an open door having no locks
You put a pierced sharp arrow in my heart
I am definitely seeking a divorce
I will not fight nor use force

When this trip was formed being reality
It was vintage buses from the past
Seeing the historical buses was a blast
I also remember riding a Wolf Mini Bus
It was a journey back
It’s amazing I am remembering all that
It was Trailways buses still in their original Paint Scheme
It was almost like they were still in operating service
They looked like brand new
But that is what makes the whole story a slew
Just like a game of Chess, you can check me with having the fact
Stopping at key points of bus interest in Gettysburg, Hagerstown, Carlisle, York and Hershey
I saw a Buick being a bus
But that is how buses were formed being a plus
But the highlight of the journey was eating at a former Greyhound Bus Station in Hagerstown, Maryland turned into a town restaurant
However, I almost forgot the actual name, but it should have been called the “Depot Restaurant”
The Restaurant still had Greyhound’s original past and fixtures including the waiting area seats vintage
All I needed was an announcement of arrivals and departures
It was intriguing seeing a Depot Restaurant that once was a busy Greyhound Bus Depot with travelling passengers
So it was me and the highway road in unite
It was Greyhound’s past Depot in history in plain sight.

Being awake is not my soul to keep

Everyone in the house falls asleep but me
Eating in the middle of the night is out
Because I can’t sleep I just want to shout
Those that can’t sleep also know what I am talking about
Countless hours looking around the room
Clock ticking, but the next day no way coming soon
Please eyes just drop so I can fall asleep
Just give me that snooze control in sleep

THE TALKING TIOLET SEAT
preservationman Apr 2018
Now don’t continue to make a mess
I had to say that being my confess
Watch how you sit
Don’t force, but your buns should be able to fit
Remember to keep me clean
I know it might sound mean
But I am often overlooked
All one has to do is look
Remember to clean up any stain
It also can’t remain
I want to be lemony fresh
The smell of aroma clean
Also being stain free
It’s all about hygiene being the key
But before you flush
Before you speak, please hush
Examine the toilet seat being a must
I see your mad and making a fuss
Don’t even think about a cuss
Remember, I am used daily
I don’t want to see any germs
Catch my drift?
Clean and deodorize
You would be amazed at the clean surprise
You had no idea in what toilet seats realize
That’s what makes us wise.

The Full moon that brings out the night
The break out of passion being a sight
A sip of wine with a burning candle
It will be all systems go in arms upon arms to handle
The kiss that will be the message of send
Eye contact into the other on begin
The soothe that will feel smooth
The moon is circling with love on its mind
All kinds of romantic interlude combined
The heat of the night
Yes with no question of might
The assurance in confident of two
Now its love both must pursue
Let the true love come out
Reaction being the tribal shout
Romance in the air and that’s what I am talking about.

Terror surrounded Lower Manhattan
No one expected a truck to plow people down
But a question that comes to mind, where was the terrorist bound?
The Terrorist was just short steps to the World Trade
This was the new version that was constructed made
I commend the NYPD having a fast response
It was ammunition ready at a moment’s try
To the Terrorist, this is between New York City with your motive of why?

I urge all men over 40 to have their PROSTATE regularly checked
This is not an alarm to hit the deck
It’s a matter in saving one’s life
Life is about never thinking twice
My Prostate was blocking my bladder
It became a health matter
It was either keep the foley on for the rest of my life
My Doctor came up with surgery being the strive
He recommended that surgery would be the plan
It was more than an option and theory in demand
The surgery came about
It worked all my Prostate issues out

My testimony could save your life
No need to overlook being instead
Life is about living throughout
The mention of surgery success is worthy of a shout

Don’t want before it’s too late at the end
Let 2018 be a resolution having a new prosperous begin.

DIMMING FLAMES

The dialog of Harry and Mary
As I tell the story, it is not merry
You see, Harry and Mary being a married couple
They have no hills in relationship to climb
The Bed Sheets spell nothing but deceit and cheat
But the way they both would cheat, one would think it was a competition in compete
Mary had a Man which was Harry’s best friend and who was Best Man at Harry and Mary’s wedding
Harry was dating one of Mary’s Female cousins
This sounds more for the Maury and Jerry Springer’s show
But I will let that go
So how did this all happen
It seems the *** wasn’t all that
There was so much arguing commotion is certainly hard to keep track
So the cheating between them both escalated with arrow piercing right through the heart
Love of Harry and Mary being like a sour lemon
They were Demons full of fire, but no relationship with desire
There is no word to the wise
The eyes seeing a cracked mirror
The image not being true in honesty
But according to Harry and Mary, their cheating is everything they want it to be
Well love don’t live here anymore
But love can be found anywhere as long as we are not together
That is according to Harry and Mary
Love on no rebound
Hear that, Harry and Mary in silence with no sound
Another beat having a retreat.

EVERLASTING DESTINATION
preservationman Aug 2019
This is good bye world
My tolerance I can no longer stand
Everyone I come in contact seems to be my destroy
My life isn’t totally mine
My soul cries out
My flesh will soon diminish
My image was never distinguished
A knife I hold in hand being a quick death
My hour glass of time has run out
I will be no more
I see darkness being my final curtain
I have been tormented my entire life
I don’t need anyone’s advice
Uncontrollable storms that just don’t stop
The knife has pierced my heart
Blood pours
Moment
Once again, bye world
My death has already taken effect
Don’t have sorrow
There will be no tomorrow
Pity me not
Condemnation fits my slot
Finalization, I have gone beyond.

GREYHOUND BUS HEIST

POET TALK
preservationman May 2015
Why don’t we form a Poet Sky community with making poetry reader friendly unit?
Combine all Poets words
Letting the reader know we have a voice and want to be heard
Can you imagine reading poetry in the air?
This could be called “Spotlight Poetry from the sky”
This would be something beyond compare
But it would be all kinds of poetry that we could share
Thinking of the minds presented in the skies
Our inner most voice of how we Poets are wise
Like a mystery novel of a Poet’s pull of surprise
We are Poets who know
We want the readers to follow our flow
Our words that have centered our minds in just let go
As Poets, we were meant to write
We’re the ones who know how to be polite
Words upon words
The fortress of a Poet’s foundation
All in the Poet’s imagination
A Poet in what you can expect
A reader’s response in how they elect.

Words of Crime
Justice done on a dime
The Story of a Comic Factory
There were Thugs who wanted to make a fortune off Comic Books
All for the taking
The Thugs are about to find out they were mistaken
It didn’t matter who the Comic Book character was
It was a **** buzz
They were determined to steal
Too them it was a big deal
Demonstrating throughout
Illustrating out
Unknowingly to the Thugs, Poet Joe was on their trail
But Investigation conducted without fail
Word surprise
Resisting words on the Thugs side
The fist being the power in extending vibrating sentences as enforcement
So many comic books with the Thugs caught in the act
Not fact, but evidence
Fighting between the Thugs and Super Hero Poet Joe
Pow, Wow, Blunder and aftermath
The Police arrive and took the Thugs to the Comic Book Jail of Finale
Words count in fighting crime
It’s all justice in the mind
Super Hero Poet Joe proved it again
Justice in and crime out.

THE LEGEND OF HERITAGE
preservationman Mar 2019
The man being Medgar Wiley Evers
His voice with Civil Rights Decree
It was Civil Rights awareness to the world to see
Medgar Evers being of outraged spoken words
Truth in needing to heard
His philosophy extending into expression becoming a lesson
But let me relate to Medgar Evers in education
I had the honor, privilege and opportunity to attend CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE
The principles with Civil Rights concentrating on education being a Constitutional right
The message being “Higher Learning in Excel at any Race”

Meet education face to face
Don’t let your mind just go to waste
Gold is only a camouflage shine
What’s true within the heart having determination and desire in helping others regardless of race in bringing out one’s true potential in looking beyond the color of one’s skin
This is not something accidental
It is not something seasonal
It’s a chosen right
This was the reason in the Civil Rights fight
Medgar Evers saw the flaw in American’s thinking
He was compelled to shout out
It didn’t matter being just like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr if Death would be involved
This was Medgar Evers in seeing that Civil Rights needing a resolve

But it required Unity by all in being involved
An empty plate makes one hungry, and an empty glass makes one thirsty
But when you add the food it becomes the fulfillment, and in a task if what already will be accomplished
Civil Rights was a mission that Medgar Evers wanted to face
Medgar was determined that he wasn’t going to let America just let it erase
It wasn’t a Black nor White issue but equality in all races being justified
I had the pleasure to see the Medgar Evers Family personally up close and personal

Now Medgar Evers was a World War II Veteran
Field Secretary for the NAACP
Former Soldier Medgar Evers is buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia
Honor and dignity with a stance of salute
A quote being Medgar Evers personal words, “You can **** a man, but you can’t **** an Idea”
It’s about establishment with a fight that shall continue even today 2019.

One must observe and what the other person says in encouraging
You see the person in question feeling discouraged
Words like an anecdote
Sentences that float
It’s inspiring words that help a person discouraged to cope
You offer that hope
Sometimes the best encouragement is your own within
At times, some people may not know what to say or how to say it
Negativity no one needs to hear
They are already discouraged, so how much more do you want them to bear
Yet encouragement is a way of life
In order to make the right judgment, one will seek advice
Now being sincere and offering words of endure would be nice
So encourage from the heart
Now that is where to start
So encourage one another
But just don’t over do it in smoother
If the tables were turned in you needing encouragement, you would want words that would help you beyond in life
This is what encouragement is all about
No one needs to be in bout
Also not that they are alone to figure it out
Share your experiences similar to what a person is going through in their hard times
It all amounts to wisdom and understanding
But your encouragement to someone will last in sustaining.

CRIED FOR SO LONG
preservationman Jun 2020
The world’s hearts are in grief
Assurance for tomorrow needing relief
Hearts cup overfilled with sorrow
What about tomorrow?
Certainty with no answer
Racism is like a spread of Cancer
George Floyd, a young man who died in vain
Racism has gone for so long, and can’t remain
Discrimination continues to be, but change is what the world needs to see
We are all God’s creations, and we all need to get along
I pray for comfort in healing being a waiting call
The Heavenly Almighty who conquers all
Hatred is not a message to turn back
It is a time to Rise Up, Rise Up and stay on track
Father we need to know how change will begin
This is not a moment of world end
Comfort the Floyd family for peace within their soul
Through Christ, there will be a behold
Sorrow for the moment
Tomorrow a new day
God sees and understands
He controls and commands
Dry those tears
God is always near
Have no fear
Rise from despair
Continue to preserver
Encouragement to the world, God will continue to be near
Rise up Rise Up and show no fear
Hope in God is what all should hold dear.

I can contest
Put me to the test
My heart in confess
Greyhound bus in my soul
I am a walking behold
My younger years my start
The Greyhound dog stretched always seen on all sides of the bus always caught my attention
The highway representation
I am a walking Greyhound bus presentation
The Greyhound bus wear
Proud and honored with care
Of course, I always get a stare
That is no more than fair
The Go is within me
The Greyhound bus I want people to see
No secret no regret
Thinking of the hound, I cherish the engine sound
Accelerate as I appreciate
The Greyhound bus in me today, I will continue all the way.
