HOMEWARD BOUND
preservationman Feb 2016
Not a town or city
Not a place of pity
Not a place you can travel by car, train or bus
An eternal home
A place of rejoicing that I was meant to roam
I hear echoes of Angels singing in the distance
It’s Heavens home I am talking about

Time has swiftly counted on
I have been summoned and Heaven is where I belong
I will be leaving this Earth
A place that was already reserved during my birth
Only true believers being chosen get this honor
Tears of joy run down my face
Oh Heaven such an interesting place
My name is still on the list and not erased

I am a weary old man
My Grandmother said before she died, I want to take you with me, but it’s not your time then she said, she will be waiting
Wait no more
I am ready for sure
The Lord has spoken and I have achieved the Heavenly score
My praises grew louder
I couldn’t be anymore prouder

Heaven seemed far off through the years
But Heaven taught me I would preserver
My heart and soul is thankful
The message I would leave, keep believing, and hope being our king
But just one more thing, come together and help one another and don’t wait for the other
My white robe is on, and I am ready for the journey
This is not goodbye, but until we meet again
This is not the end
My eternity in my soul being lifted up, and to the Earth below in spirit of behold.

HITCHHIKING TURKEY
preservationman Nov 2021
Thumbs up
Walking down the highway
Looking for an escape
This is something any Turkey would appreciate
Thumbing for a ride
Perhaps a Greyhound Bus could provide
The Hound could take any Turkey bound
The smell of freedom having a sound
Suddenly a Greyhound bus pulled to the side
Got on the bus and the Turkey took it in his stride
Traveling on the dog
At least I am not crossing a lake by log
I am on my way
Destination bound to anywhere
My life is focused in not being killed
I have living to fulfil
Yet more determined at will
Thumbs up being free
I am a Turkey on flee
There are no Dinner Tables this Turkey needs to see
A Turkey’s response, “It’s all about me”
It’s life the way it should be

Struggles upon struggles
Fight, Fight, Fight
Protest into true confess
Civil Rights strong with a meaning
This is what Dr. Martin Luther King was demonstrating
Justice with Equality for all and continues to be an absolute must
It’s not about one Race but all being us
The mission was to bring all Races together on one accord
Of course this was going to happen under the watching eyes of our Heavenly Lord
It wasn’t just a dream but it was a vision to move forward, and step back
Civil Rights was the floor plan for the world to take their rightful place
But Dr. King wasn’t going to stop until Justice was in the right face
Avion in beauty
Multitudes being unity
Today 2019, the battle still continues
But 2019 seems to be stuck in repeat from the 1960’s
Dr. Martin Luther King has passed on
But we as the people need to get along and show the powers that be that we belong
Change takes a time, but time has a victory
Victory is its own story
Civil rights seems to be pushed back
But what would Dr. Martin Luther King think of that?
Dr. King is probably turning over in his grave
Now injustice has gone rapid and doesn’t know how to behave
Dr. Martin Luther King was a true leader and devoted in what he felt should be right
Now we shouldn’t take his efforts being light
Voices with power still have might
Dr. King’s dream did come to life
No need to cultivate with sugar and spice
Yet, Civil Rights still has continued work to be done
Let us all come together being among
It doesn’t matter from sun up to sun down
Civil Rights should on our lips being found.

This is War
Battle fight with an encouraging flute
You stand in many dangers of the Front Line
A lot things run through your mind
Will you will be another military statistic or return in victory
Each Soldier has their own story
Sometimes it can be glory
Then there’s another story of War taking one of their own
But your Military commitment should be full blown
You stand behind the RED, WHITE, and BLUE Stripes on your uniform
You are America’s greatness
We as American’s are your witness
America’s war
Your wounds being scars
It’s been said, ‘WAR IS HELL”
War stories the world can tell
You stand proud being considered a Veteran
It doesn’t matter if it is your past or present
You represent America
Your courage and commitment established
The Battle Hymn fits whatever your mission
You are always ready to do battle whatever position
You never know when a War could end
You remain a Soldier and don’t pretend
You fight for America’s Liberty and Freedom
You are guided by wisdom

As Veterans, you are always connected
Standing all
Representing America for all
Happy Veteran’s Day
America’s Flags are waving in your honor in every way
Thanks for your service
More than obvious
You are America’s assured
Thank You Lord
Proud to serve being honor you deserve.

MY LESSON OF GOLF
preservationman Feb 2024
My Grandfather’s devotion and passion
Dedication throughout
My Grandfather the lover of sports, but Golf caught his attention
He would get up at 5:00 am when the Golf ***** are not awake and the Golf bags thinking now
My Grandfather would head straight to the Golf Country Club and club out in golfing
My Grandfather was an excellent Golfer like a Pro
I often asked him why doesn’t he go professional, and his response was he wasn’t that good
In my eyes he was good, however, I guess he loved Golf for the relaxation
My Grandfather taught me Golf at Marine Park and Forest Park both in Brooklyn, New York
I was more of a retriever than learning Golf
I was fetching Golf *****
No bones about it
Catch my drift?
I am certainly no Golf professional and nowhere close to an amateur
The sand trap got more of my play than anything
I am no Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods
They have game
To say I am a Golfer, I would be lame
Golf I learned, but really had no interest
No pursue
So what else is new?

BURGER TOO GO
preservationman Aug 2018
From New York City started my cross country ride
Scheduled Ground Transportation that only the Greyhound Bus can provide
My destination was Los Angeles on the West Coast
I was questioned why the bus by most?
I didn’t answer because I didn’t want to boost
But I knew I was definitely travelling to the West Coast
So my journey continued on
This was a vacation in where I would belong
Scenery through the countryside and towns
Now in between Major Cities could be found
All these happenings while I was reclining seat settling down
We were now arriving in another town
We arrived at a place called Evanston, Wyoming at the Starlight Diner
This was our meal stop
I ordered from the Menu that was sitting on top
But when told the Owner/Cook in what I wanted to eat, he stated, “I am all out of Food”
I was very hungry, and my mouth even drooled
The Owner/Cook replied, “Greyhound cleaned me out”
How many Greyhound’s passed through was my shout?
But I certainly wasn’t going to make this a bout
There was a fly around, and the Owner/Cook used a Fly swatter stick, which killed the insect
That swatter had that effect
Meanwhile, the only food that was left was a Burger, but surprised the Diner still had a bun
It was better than nothing being next to none
However, I won’t complain because at least I ate
That Greyhound Bus arrived at my final destination two days later On-time and not late
This was a vacation that had no hesitate.

I think on the strives our Black Ancestors made
It was a struggle to get done
Yet maneuvering and proving made their name among
Names that come to mind such as George Washington Carver, Medgar Wiley Evers, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jesse Owens, Joe Black, Jackie Robinson and the list goes on and on
So what makes their specific Black Achievers great?
It was their focus on achievement and continuing no matter what
It was their understanding
Their purpose being their own contribution
So have names on educational institutions for example, MEDGAR EVERS, CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE
I am proud to say, I am the product of CUNY Medgar Evers College embracing in the Medgar Evers Legacy
I was honored too be taught at CUNY Medgar Evers College by Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widow of MALCOLM X
I was inspired in her teachings and values
So Black History had and continues to be an impact on me
“To be a success, you must be taught in wisdom associating from the best”
That is my honest and true confess
But these say what is really in my heart
“Struggles are only preparations being what is expected in life. It comes with understanding in what knowledge provides. It comes with true meaning in believing, but with observation in listening”.

I witnessed with my own eyes
Follow the realize
Watch the words advise
The story takes place in Bethlehem, PA at the play simply called “NATIVITY” outside in the Open Winter Air
The cast is ready, and the many animals including one Camel
It wasn’t a moment for a Camel Smoke
It’s a play, and words that were spoke
The trainer puts a Red Cloth over the Camel before the play begins
Things are about to change and listen to the rearrange
The Camel throws the Red Cloth off
The trainer attempts to put back on
Once again, the Camel throws the Red Cloth off again
The trainer forever tries to put the Red Cloth on, but the Camel throws the Red Cloth off again and again
Finally, the trainer got a reminder from the Camel, didn’t I show you I didn’t want that Red Cloth on me, and the Camel takes his back Leg and hits the trainer in the head
The Camel’s mind had other things in mine instead
Suddenly without warning, the Camel is full of Rage and went bersek
The Camel is charging at the audience out of control
Can anybody stop him?
Thereafter, the camel suddenly looks directly at the Doll Baby Jesus
A transformation turnaround begins
The Camel immediately bows as if it was commanded
The Camel proceeded to kneel before the Doll Baby Jesus, and wouldn’t move
There was a soothe and a miracle to prove
There was a certain calmness and peace
It was as if the Doll Baby Jesus encouraged in Spirit and truth
The audience including myself was amazed at what at just transpired at that moment
The Camel got up and moved quietly as if nothing ever happened

I don’t have any decent clothes to wear
This I swear
I would love to go to a very Sophisticated Party Affair
Imagine me meeting my own princess being an enchanted night
What am I saying?
What Princess is going to even give me a look being a mire Laborer?
My Clothes aren’t exactly clean
But as you can imagine I am should you know what I mean
Suddenly a Wizard appeared and stated, “So you want to go to the sophisticated party affair”?
Being a Wizard, I can make that happen
So what does Princedefella want to wear?
I want an expensive looking suit that stands out
I want all the guest too notice me as I move about
A Suit it will be
Immediately appeared was a Black Suit with Silver Sequence running across the Suit jacket
PrincedeFella looked into the mirror, and was satisfied with what he saw
It was total “Galore”
But the Wizard passed some good advice as Midnight will strike and your clothes will return back to where they were
The Party a waits
The Wizard said, “You can’t just walk into the party without having an elegant ride”
Here is your Long Hummer Limousine
Now you are all set in elegance Mr. Clean
Enjoy the party, but remember Midnight
Well at the party when PrincedeFella entered the party all eyes were on him
The Princess even caught the attention in Princedefella in let’s dance

Suddenly when they kissed, midnight striked
Princedefella dashed out swiftly

The Princess searched one entire town, and it was the tenth man that she knew was Princedefella, and it was an enchanted day, and a celebration of living happily ever after.

Action with no introduction at the start because the movie was making its mark
It was impact from start to finish
Of course Hobbs and Shaw had to be distinguished
The Plot with excellent stunts
Security combinations with all the scientific fonts
Hobbs being Athletic
Shaw being himself Authentic
The movie has all the movies
But there is a sense of purpose with things to prove
Man verses robotics in humans just win, but the thought was could man actually defeat robotics
Explosions after explosions
Robotics being revolutionized
It was like seeing the Million Dollar Man TV series with rebuilt advanced electronics beyond modern man
Advanced brain maneuvers beyond man’s ability
But total Aesthetic
It was speed into acceleration
Even the High speed chase made the viewer wonder in what will happen next
At times, it seemed a little complex
The idea was saving the world from a destructive Virus
Hobbs and Shaw assigned to the mission
But it seemed that one needed permission
Yet it was a movie well done
But it really only begun
There is another side
A continuation that seems wants to temporary hide
We will have to wait and see what the sequel will provide.

Now my life is vast in detail
Let me start at the beginning being a story narrated in sail
Growing up I was told that I would fail
In fact being born I was quite frail
So the beginning of my life at birth being uncertain
For me inspiration was only a word having no definition
My life was hoping for precision
The only presence was my own voice
I had no choice
But my words were direct like preach
I guess there was influence I wanted to teach
As I grew older I began to understand
But now I was an Adult Man
Thinking responsively
Taking life serious honestly
As I said earlier, I told you I was to fail
But follow me in the next trail
I knew deep in my heart I wanted to achieve
It would be Higher Education that I would receive
So I enrolled in college in meeting my goals
Behold, I majored in Mass Communications from CUNY, and graduated with a 3.0 GPA
Sounds bad for others who wanted me to fail
Perhaps the whole theory people considered themselves less of themselves
I guess they wanted me to be like them
But inspiration rang in and ability within keep striving on
I wanted the best things in life
I wasn’t expecting sugar and spice
I just wanted my life to be peaceful and nice
As my Grandfather would often encourage, “Be a Commodity”
Well that’s truth in reality
So I am living life in what it should be
Salvation made it all possible and people do see
Yet it is my daily prayers between me and thee
Church is my regular outlet that God can help anyone overcome
I am glad I have Faith from within being the Lord’s among
So there’s my life cut and dry
You see I haven’t asked any questions as of why
But my Grandfather was right, “Just Try”
There’s my life in efforts in gain, and continued living that shall remain.

A Poet must have a concept
But also adapt
Words can have a rhyme
It can also have possibilities
Adjectives into verbs

But the specific Poet’s story had an angle, and it went like this
Tension was pressures on my heart
My mind being like a violet storm
Echoes upon echoes of many voices
Yet my senses alert alarm after alarm
A rocky avalanche occurs
But one is right in the middle of the situation
One’s life could end in that split second
Reckons calls
Pray on the knees in fall
Oh Lord I am in a plight
Possible darkness with transcending light
My soul will go up to thee
I am asking spare my life
Suddenly the avalanche passes over
One praying soul survives
This was a Poet’s story encounter
But it makes one really wonder
The Poet was destined to write
But if one has Faith and truly believe
Writing with confident will help relieve
A Poet must have the idea to always perceive.

BUS FRIENDS
preservationman Jun 2023
Have a seat, we need to talk
Some say buses have no friends
That might sound like a pretend
Am I really serious?
Why yes
Buses capture a multitude of hearts
That is just the start
Transit buses are the ones that pick up and drop off passenger’s curbside
It’s the convenience they provide
It’s more than just the ride
Motorcoach buses are the ones where you recline back and observe
Relaxing moment, but embracing in comfort
Buses are people movers
It doesn’t matter the force of bus exhaust gets in your throat
It’s reality, but it is a funny joke
Imagine chasing a bus and you actually miss the bus
Everyday routine, but life itself
Buses travel the highways regardless transit or motorcoach as they are the off ramps arriving at various locations whether it be curbside or a terminal
Yet, buses start the daily conversation aboard, and the passengers get to know one another
But at the same time, you get the bus itself
A time riding and you are now both passenger and bus friend
You get the feeling of welcome aboard
Do you still think buses have no friends?
Think vintage, a bus time back
See, you can’t even keep track
Buses have numerous friends pass, current and into the future
You could be one of them, and don’t realize it
The question was asked, and buses are in the hearts
Buses bring people together
For example, in the old Greyhound Bus TV Commercials, there was a point to “Get in Touch with America”
Passenger’s get in touch with America to places they serve
It’s the buses whereabouts and history behind
Buses are simply genuine

The story tells of a man that had fear, but was enriched with courage
It was a story with a Lion and Man
Enemies to each other
They were not the same species of another
The Lion being ready to attack on any prey
Perhaps it was a time that the man needed to pray
But being on that day, a man remembered courage beyond his own fear
However, the Lion was ever so near
The Man carefully managed his spear as gear
He wanted to be one step ahead
The Lion was eyeing the Man s foe
But the Man was determined in holding onto the spear, and not let go
Suddenly the Lion began to attack
His Claws being sharp as a tack
The Man aimed the spear where he felt was the Lion’s weak point
It was time to have a strategy in the Lion would surely be killed
The Man’s plan worked in the Lion being killed right in the heart
The Man used every ounce of courage he had
So courage reigned supreme
A Lion that thought he was mean

BURY ME BUS A GO GO

I might sound to some a weird request
But this is my desire in confess
Instead of putting me in a conventional coffin, just let it be a bus
Now you are probably thinking, is this an absolute must?
But it is really no fuss
Bus passion is always and will continue to be in my heart
It’s my own personal flowchart
It doesn’t have to be a Hound nor Trailways bus, and could even be a School bus
So it can be a bus of any kind
But let the bus be genuine
However, I would be dead, it wouldn’t matter anyway as I could very well be put into a hefty garbage metal can, and I wouldn’t know as the dead tell no tail
Actually, I am only stating for thought
It’s nothing needing to be fought
I don’t expect it too happen
I am certainly not going to push
But that is only an inspired wish
I pretty much have your attention
So was all nothing more than my presentation
But than again, there is no telling what kind of response I will get
I have no regret
One can dream with an imagination
One can also say stating the indication
But this is my moment of my own print streaming
Now please don’t start screaming

RISE THEN DRIVE

I guess you are probably thinking a motivating tail
Not so in this trail
The title alone says like a surprise
But wait, there will be a realize
This story involves the French car Citroen
My grandfather purchased one then later another
But the design was not like any other
The first Citroen was a Four Door Car, it was small, but engineered ahead of its time by being the best in the land
You didn’t use a key to start, but pushed a button
However, there was a waiting period as you had to wait for the back of the car to rise
I know you are surprised
It would sometimes be a moment then once the back of the car rose, you were able to move
Yet later as the Citroen would move, and the back would drop, however, the ride would be smooth
But it doesn’t stop there
My Grandfather sold the 4 Door sedan for a Citroen Station Wagon
It had the same concept, but only longer, but still having a later departure
As we were riding the Citroen station wagon home, the left wheel started to shake and suddenly the side of the car just dropped to the ground
So now we were nowhere bound
It was later determined, the Citroen was going to be history, and another car would be purchased
As the conversation went on, my Grandmother told my Grandfather to buy a car that you get in and go
Now do you follow my flow?
Start then go far
That my Grandfather did
There wasn’t any hid
Well the story concludes

MYSTERY STATURE HOUR
preservationman Dec 2019
Is it a gun or a knife?
What do the clues spell in advice?
A party full of guest
Invitations sent out as a request
When the guest arrived, and everyone sat down
Suddenly, darkness filled the room
Quick screams were the sound
The lights immediately came back on
But a ****** had just been committed
A knife was found in the back of Jay Henderson
Now Jay Henderson was of wealth
But there was a question concerning his health
Mr. Henderson had a bad heart
Yet he was murdered, and does anyone have any idea of the motive?
We seem have a sleuth
We have many speculations to go through
We need to determine the theory behind this
Now Mr. Henderson had fortune, but do to his health, he had made out a will
Still?
Why was Mr. Henderson’s business partner not included in the will?
Mr. Henderson knew his partner had stole from the business
He was killed, but it didn’t change the name of who was on the will
The business partner surely didn’t think
The will was already certified and signed in ink
The partner is going to jail with a life of no mail.

NIGHT WRITER
preservationman Apr 2021
Night unwinds
The skies unfolds
Only a Night Writer dares tell
The midnight hour with the sounding of the bell
Thunder of the mind
Lightning flashes not acting kind
Words one letter at a time
They are more than alphabetic phrases
Captivation in amazes
The Night skies grow even darker
The shade of the marker
A night of suspense
Time came and went
Scientist all confused
The atmosphere no one can defuse
The Earth on destruction
The Moon and Earth formed like a team
But what does that all mean?
The end of civilization as we know it
Prophecy foreseen what events would happen
Man just brushed it aside
The word is now out in the open with no place to hide
A world trapped in damnation
It’s not an illustration
It’s a strong indication
Tomorrow’s passed
Living done
Captured moment
Eternity on arrival
preservationman May 2020
Tomorrow’s past set the stage of accomplishment
Past songs was no illusion
It simply brought people together as one
Dance with a twist
A crave formulating a new dance step that no one could miss
Little Richard being a man of sheer gifted talent
As he hit those piano keys, the sound was music not needing to be silent
Little Richard’s style made the entire world Break out in dance moves
It was soothe and feel the rhythm in what the music wanted to prove
No time to be sad, but was Little Richard’s time to be glad
One of his songs, “Tuffi Frutti”
Little Richard seemed to make the piano come alive
Yet with his added singing voice being no jive
Get on the dance floor, and do your thing
It was all about music in the swing
Little Richard music contributed to the world of Rock and Roll
He lived entertainment, but has retired to Heaven
Heaven simply whisked him away
His soul on the Heaven runway
But Little Richard’s memory of music of valued achievement that will always be in our hearts
Today on sorrow
But Little Richard you inspired us well into tomorrow
Your legacy, “Rhythm is only a tone, but true harmony will never ever leave you feeling alone”.

No Logs
No Fireplace
No Cookout
The wood was used to craft into Toy Scale Model Buses
Sounds strange?
Yes, Wood was used in creating Genuine Authentic Moving Models
Visualize highway buses, and think of the wood being part of the setting
I am a witness to it
I have in my collection of actual buses made out of wood being the work done by a Deceased Susquehanna Trailways Motor Coach Engineer
How were these buses carved into a bus
It was careful study being the tracing and using cardboard to capture the right detail once the analysis was done
Then came constructing the wood one Carve into design at a time
I am honored to have in my bus collection of 7 Wood bus models from the creator himself and remembrance of a Trailways Motor Coach Engineer
A Motor Coach Operator with more than just drive, but a vision to create into sculpture
Eyes of Wood

UNDOUBTED TERMS
preservationman Nov 2021
It all came from an open book
All I had to do was take a look
It was reading pages of chapters about my life from the start
Ok get ready this is my mark
Death wanted to attack, but subtract played its part
All the pages went on
I am still here moving along
I saw my life showing me honest and purpose
I am sure you found that obvious
I figured I would have drowned, but stayed close to the surface
Darkness turned into light
I went from weak to might
Struggles came, but overcame despite
There was plenty uncertainty
But it all formed reality
My directions were turnaround’s in forward
Too some people that might sound awkward
But I wasn’t guided by myself, it was a Superior King being somebody else
He’s Heaven’s King
But you can’t call him a thing
He’s Spiritual and has a powerful name
Christ and my praises will remain
The pages from Undoubted Terms wanted me to see my life that was full of assurance
Encouragement into inspiration surrounding influence
A book with all the answers
Questions I don’t need to ask
A book showing my Deliverance
It will forever be my reference
More than a book of words
I am still among the living herd.

ALUMNI WORDS

Honest and true
Alumni who always pursue
I will never forget my education and Degree from CUNY Medgar Evers College
I graduated many years ago
I just want you to know
I wasn’t sure what to expect
I knew it would be Theory, Concepts and Analysis
Medgar Evers College taught me always be determined and you will have a following
For me, it was intervention
For that, it is appreciation
College classes that offered insights
The Professors would often encourage me directly and say, “You will make it”
There were times doubt entered my mind
Yet assurance came directly through my professors
They saw in me which I didn’t see in myself
Trial and error approach
When it came to Midterms and Final exams, I didn’t panic, I simply studied in preparation and buckled down
The advice I offer to all incoming college students, “Nothing in life is easy, but challenging your own mind in what is to come is education and your own success story that will follow”
Medgar Evers College instilled that approach in me
Business and people that I have connected often say, “Well done Medgar Evers College and breeding one of your products”
Becoming the product, I became my own success story in confessing
My accomplishment can support that
My tomorrow is every day
My today is a preparation that was the beginning from the start with what was coming next
What matters is knowledge
What comes out being educated
CUNY Medgar Evers College did both
What you are reading didn’t happen by chance
Purpose and privilege
Standing on my own principles and standards
Expectations my grasp
The Medgar Evers College embodied spirit within
Medgar Wiley Evers which the college is named after
“Be determined while being successful”

SUDDEN TURNPIKE STOP
preservationman Jun 2020
I was driving on Interstate 95 of the New Jersey Turnpike
Newark, New Jersey could be seen in plain sight
I was on my way to Baltimore, Maryland
As I was driving, I noticed the car was swerving in the front from side to side
I was wondering if I would have an accident, and where would I reside
So I slowed down, and the realized I had a tire flat in the back
Now the tire needed to be changed
However, this was a new car
So that means the car should had gone far
So here I was stuck on the New Jersey Turnpike near Bordentown
There was immediate traffic moving at night
Yet no New Jersey Patrol in plain sight
Suddenly without notice, a New Jersey Turnpike arrived swiftly on the scene
The Patrol Officer was kind, and Thank God not mean
He asked what make was my car, I responded a Mercury Marquis
The seconds became hours
Much later, a Mechanic arrived, he said the reason he was late, and he was given the wrong make and direction
Once the Mechanic was complete, I was finally on my way to my Baltimore
Destination
I arrived there safe
I had no accident
Thank God the flat tire was the only incident

THE WRITING STORM MOVE

A storm that stayed in my head
Couldn’t move, and scare, but preferred to stay in bed
I immediately began to write the accord down
My sentences having a destination bound
I was writing as if there wasn’t a sound
The lights began to flicker on and off
However, I continued to write
It didn’t natter if I was full of fright
It didn’t matter if soon there would be no light
I knew my writing had a purpose
My inspiration had a devotion that needed to surface
A storm that tried to take my writing whole
But courage became victory and I had to be bold
I wrote through the storm
This is far from any norm
Life is about what do you want to achieve
The storm encouraged me in not being deceived
Goodness and value is what one will receive
A storm that had power
My writing being the every hour
The words, “Don’t be alarmed”
The storm, “I don’t intend to harm”
Immediately my write became a diary, which took affect
Write on and be strong, as the destiny is in the hands
My writing being a door knock
It’s the open heart with a welcome in
This is where my writing story all began.

The sun turned blood red
The change in the Earth’s revolve becoming a solid stead
The Moon darkened to night skies black
But what is wrong with that?
Belief being the end of the world
Run for life becoming a swirl
But where does one run?
It’s Heaven’s call in who will be among
Panic throughout the world
People scare they are going to die
They try to live one last try
The Bible warned
Yet people on Earth weren’t getting along
The skies portrayed the Earth’s fail
But again this was Heaven’s tail
People’s thoughts were, “If only I had lived right”
One could feel the world feeling uptight
People were searching for that divine light
But they lived their life in darkness being a plight
But it was too late
It is now fate
The calendar formed the absolute date
Moment became now
The final skies curtain came with wow
Heaven is in control of souls now.

A Poet must have a concept
But also adapt
Words can have a rhyme
It can also have possibilities
Adjectives into verbs
The right combination being like an herb
But the specific Poet’s story had an angle, and it went like this
Tension was pressures on my heart
My mind being like a violet storm
Echoes upon echoes of many voices
Yet my senses alert alarm after alarm
A rocky avalanche occurs
But one is right in the middle of the situation
One’s life could end in that split second
Reckons calls
Pray on the knees in fall
Oh Lord I am in a plight
Possible darkness with transcending light
My soul will go up to thee
I am asking spare my life
Suddenly the avalanche passes over
One praying soul survives
This was a Poet’s story encounter
But it makes one really wonder
The Poet was destined to write
But if one has Faith and truly believe
Writing with confident will help relieve
A Poet must have the idea to always perceive.

I SAID AH, MY IDEAS OPENED UP AND I BECAME WISE
WORDS TOOK FLIGHT AND THAT’S WHEN I REALIZED
AFTER THAT, I FELT ENERGENIZED
A POET TRULY UNDERSTANDS BUT CAN ALSO ILLUSTRATE
BUT THE POETRY WORK BECOMES TO THE READER AS ADMINISTRATE
A POET COMES TO TERMS
THIS IS ONLY PHASE ONE
BUT WAIT, WE ARE NOT DONE
A STORM WITH RAIN AND THUNDER THAT RAGES ON THE OUTSIDES
YET INSIDE, IT IS THE WORDS OF THE AGES THAT RESIDES WITHIN

Lust lasted throughout the entire night

So world wave to me as I drive by
This is my one life to try

But my courage and determination being shown
Until my arrival being a permanent stay
For now, I am traveling astray
