COMMENCEMENT VOICE
preservationman May 2023
Stand
But sometimes you will fall
It will become a stumble
Get back up
It’s life preparing you
It’s called Trial and Error
It started at your very school pointing that out
Pitfalls in what you can expect
It became the learning concept of adaption
Prepared in advance

Every opportunity is giving you the reason to excel
Purpose has set the stage
It’s you being the commodity of your own
The spotlight is on you
Go out and use what you learned
It won’t be easy
There will be challengers
It will seem difficult
Stumble and Fall
But always get back and plan your strategy
Don’t set boundaries, but organize your standards
Don’t accept excuses, but prove abilities
Tomorrow is your today
Establish has formulated this very minute
Being a graduate is just one part aiming for success
Success is movement through continual efforts
Think Believer, Achiever and Determined
Accomplishment will be what you mastered


You accomplished the first element and that is education
But don’t stop there, keep up the date in business insights and keep the learning going by furthering your education is you desire
Keep your mind aware in being focused
Always improving
Turn a negative thought into a positive theory
Proven in your favor
Everyone is proud of you
You should proud yourself
You planted your feet on solid ground
Listen to the applause, it is for you
You thought education, but get ready to create your success story
Look at now where you are, you mastered the educational agenda
While others may have doubt, you proved you can learn
You are your own presentation and representation
No one can enhance that but you
See possibilities being your reality you never thought
Image, but accelerate
Assurance your own
Confident and self-alliant
Beyond your own expectation
What you expect is what you turn into effect
Let the force be with you
You are ready to go forth
You are now prepared for the touchdown of your life
Pinnacle
Conquer challenges
Let your challenges excel into victories
Your story
Congratulations graduates
This is the day to embrace
Hold your head up high and emphasize, “I am the best, and the best is still yet to come”
Go out and believe in yourself.

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.

The Black Man being vital in unity
The symbol within his own community
Media says that’s not reality
Media portrays the Black Man doesn’t know how to survive
But in all reality is determination in all it takes
This is nothing fake
Slavery’s history was a struggle in the Black Man in knowing that they can overcome and change which others felt impossible
Today the Black Man has inspiration
Slavery was only a lesson in showing the way in achieving
But some Black Men still hold onto what they believe having no assurance, but all takes is endurance
But that is only the Black Man’s formulations, but in reality they have a strong foundation
It is not an assumption as it is a known fact
It’s about the Black Man stepping out and fulfilling their dreams
Not the expectations of what one wants the Black Man to believe
There is nothing concrete that says the Black Man must stay and always be in a struggle
It’s about illustrate and present yourself who you really are and not the assumptions of what one would expect
Media also states the Black Man is into Drugs, Jail and Lack of Fatherhood
But those are the weak minded Black Man that feel they have no purpose in life
However, every Black Man has a purpose in life, but they must find their way and be determined to get there
How many things about the Black Man in the Hood, but those same Black Men actually made out the hood and turned their life into could
The theme is “Excel”
The Black Man has a success story to tell
It’s the Black Man’s personal chains that holding them back in not being confident and only settling
Settling is only an negative vibe, but goes no where from there

It’s time for the Black Man to come out and prove to themselves that the Black Man Sterotype is nothing more than a hype
The Black Man has pride
It’s dignity in what the mind provides
The Black Man has the power to be an achiever
So unlock and expand your mind
But Black Men, remove all negative thoughts like a river reseed
Take responsibility within your life is all you need
Commodity is your wonder as a Black Man
It’s just an misunderstanding from the media in thinking they know what the black man is about
In order to understand, you must have travelled up the ranks down the minority road in experiencing the struggles and discrimination
This is the solid information
But Black Men can actually be the Black Man that they are meant to be
You were created with a since of purpose on this Earth
It all started from the beginning at your birth
One can’t determine which they didn’t create
One can love but choose to hate
Hate is not something you are born with, but is sustained in learned
The Black Man has gone through all those narrows
It’s like piercing painful arrows
So common ground being enchanted
Words focused, INSPIRATION, COMMITMENT, DETERMINATION AND FULFILLMENT
Set your goals high
You are probably wondering why?
It gives you an agenda to aim for in attempting to your succession desires
Let no one determine as a Black Man that you need permission
You are your own mission
Being a Black Man is just another color for you to be determined in life in your own right
It’s the potential within excelling in talent beyond the Racial Color
Like my Grandfather would often say to me, “BE A COMMODITY FOR ALL TO SEE, AND BE EVERYTHING YOU SET OUT TO BE, BUT BE CONFIDENT IN HOW YOU DO IT, THEN YOU WILL BE AUTOMATIC TO IT”.

THE WRITING STORM MOVE
preservationman Jun 2016
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.

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
I salute into everlasting
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.

A Homeless Man who wanted to die
It was suicide he was going to try
Immediately, he stepped over the bridge edge in attempt to jump
Suddenly, pause
Let’s retract like a rewind video tape
Why should this Homeless Man pursue suicide?
He doesn’t have to stay Homeless
He shouldn’t feel priceless
He also shouldn’t feel useless and down in pitiless
Let us pray for the Homeless Man to the Father above
A Homeless Man is in despair
But you Heavenly Father are beyond compare
Show the Homeless Man the way
This I pray
It was the start of blessings upon blessings that came
Miraculous recovery being the aim
The Homeless Man was able to clean himself up
He managed to get a job and an apartment
He always dreamed of going to College, and he got that opportunity
The thought of suicide was no more
Total intervention for sure

A POET’S DIARY
preservationman Apr 2017
My mind says write
My thoughts illustrate am I right?
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.

Read here to find out
Knowledge in knowing what I am talking about
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
The Man showed courage being lean.

I AM WRITING A BOOK
preservationman Jan 2018
It will be a story highlighting my memoir
There will satisfaction and struggles to talk about
Yet prosperity will ring out and will become a shout
A part will be Death that almost came near
There were times of fear
It was joy that seemed like a new toy
The thought of striding being oh boy
I grew up in a Brownstone
I lived with my Grandparents so I wasn’t alone
Travelled here and there
It was places beyond compare
I challenged the water rapids in the New York State Adirondacks
I tested the waters to see just how my life would develop
My Grandfather pushed education and I graduated from College
Yet there were times of doubt
My ongoing cries felt like a bout
The book will tell my whole life
It will have some encouragement offering advice
I am inspired to write this book
One day I hope readers will take a look
Now you know my Memoir in becoming a book.

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.

WHAT SEPARATES US?
preservationman Sep 2017
What separates you from loving me?
What separates me from you loving you?
Emotions no longer control
Mind communications don’t connect
In fact, our personalities totally neglect
There is no love effect
Our understanding doesn’t have an intellect
Yet we don’t speak
We are like a thread not going through the needle
Our bed even protests in not being loved
The truth is within us
Why must we be separated?
We seem we are apart even when we are together
Yet I still have love for you
However you say you still love me
My thinking, I will have to wait and see
But we stand alone
No understanding shown
We are like two birds that have flown
My hesitation I should have known
I don’t want to make this full blown
Separated we are
We can only work out our differences and see how far.
preservationman Jan 2019
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.

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

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.

BURY ME BUS A GO GO
preservationman Jul 2019
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
My words with a bus coffin in adding to my devoted passion
This concludes our session.

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?

TALKING TRANSIT BUS
preservationman Oct 2023
Beep Beep
Talking bus
Surprised to hear one
Never out done
Flag me down
Step aboard
Hear the engine pulsating
I travel from Market Street Downtown and all around into the suburbs
It’s the commuters who ride
Street to street to which I provide
Stopping within various street blocks
Sometimes traffic like it or not
Daily proceed
Transit all communities need
When you see your stop, just pull the cord, and I will stop
A talking transit bus at its best
Some say they can take it or less
Commuters have that right to confess
Nonetheless, transit bus on duty
Observe how I absorb the street bumps, totally sturdy
This talking transit bus has said enough
No bluff
Just enough

I Stand
My voice my Demand
Standing for all
It seems, you wonder my words
I deserve to be heard
I am exercising my rights
Prepared for a fight
Your opposition like a violet storm
I am not alarmed, but will continue to push on
Dr. Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Congressmen John Roberts and many others who educated me
It’s knowledge that stood out
My reason for moving about
Beyond the shadows and into the marvelous light
Not frightened and shaken
I speak extensions
A presenter of persuasions
Words greater than anyone could imagine
Several letters at one time
Genuine
Truth is what I stand for
No hesitation
Representation
Marked because of my Race
Ran because of a Chase
Broken promises
Told numerous times, I nothing to offer
Prove you wrong
Destiny and Sincerity
My reality
Onward in forward
You say why do I live?
Privilege
Why do I stand?
Honor
All Grace and Mercy from God
Motivation keeps me inspired
Race barriers make me sick and tired
I will not stop and expire
I will pull through
Pursue
The battle in begun
Sustaining among
Never Ending fight
Through the Valley’s, Rivers and Mountains
Who I am
Proven with understanding
Remember my words

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

A GRANDMOTHER’S WISDOM
preservationman Jun 2021
Grandson, there will be a world you will never understand
You will learn of God’s goodness through the land
Through God you will be able to stand
As you walk through life in living you will understand
Living is a learning experience
You will walk through endless storms
But that is part of life being the norm
You may think you are loss, but God has you in found
Echoes upon echoes is inspiration in sound
Listen as I embrace you in wisdom
There is a place far away known as the Kingdom
In that place you will find everlasting
The preparation starts with salvation
The continuation is Deliverance
I taught you how to pray
Through prayer everything will be ok
In that moment and hour, pray
Now eventually I will be called home
But it will be everlasting to roam
No matter what, my spirit of legacy will always be within you
It is my establishment signature
Grandson, fulfill being God’s will
Watch your steps and hold your peace in still
I must leave you now
You will always be in my heart
My soul lifted up
Behold, we shall meet again
Grandson, “Always observe the clouds, and be prepared”
Grandma says, “Pray and continue to pray”
Now it becomes wait until that day

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”.

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.

RAT PATROL
preservationman May 2023
The battle is too win
Rats get no give in
Not a fact, but reality
Pest always want to invade
Sometimes glue traps don’t work
Different methods as a perk
The idea is to rates defuse
When Rats don’t want to leave, refuse
They will tell your home into a hotel
No vacancies to rats in get out
Put measures in place
That includes getting rid of garbage waste
Show them you mean business
Become the victor being your own witness
Be careful when using chemicals
You don’t want to harm any pets nor small children
Electronic devices may do the right trick
Just make that measure stick
They encourage them to leave
Catch your breath and feel relieved
You don’t need a Jerry in your house
That also includes any mouse
Tell them to go back to Disney
Be ******* getting Rats out
Be aware as they are moving about
Let your home be pest free
Prevention is the key
Make the Rats move in a getaway
Apply every day

POET’S CHAIN REACTION

THE POET BEING HIS OWN ANNOUNCER
“I AM IN A PLIGHT”
MY THOUGHTS AREN’T COMING RIGHT
I SEEMED TO HAVE LOSS INSPIRATION TO WRITE
ALL I NEED IS A GUIDING LIGHT
I SEEM TO BE IN DARKNESS
YET I AM THE ONLY WITNESS
WILL I EVER PUT MY POETRY WORDS TOGETHER?
IMMEDIATELY, I LOOKED UP TOO THE SKIES
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
THIS IS HOW A POET BEGINS
THE POET’S MIND WITH ENDING ON WHEN
TO WRITE IS BECAUSE A POET CAN.

NEWSWEEK LOVE
preservationman Jul 2021
Love can be a maybe with perhaps
It’s a periodical of words drawn by couples
Then again maybe love not at all
Words upon caring or uncertainty words
But are couples truly listening to what the other partner is saying?
How do they compliment each other?
Yet, I believe each couple must have a feeling in what love means
Love comes in days, months and weeks throughout the years
Romance if truth in preserver
Hearts enter like a portal
At times, love can become a violent storm going through the stimulation like a black hole
But it is no illusion
Do couples see what the stars in the sky are saying?
However, is there a twinkle within the love between couples?
Hearts should be stirring perfection into admiration
Love becomes the scale between Desire and Cherish
The finale within the kiss
Not a wish
Distinguished
Periodical love
Hearts enchanted
It takes follow through
But requires pursue
Love advice
That is what keeps love together with a mixture of honey, sugar and spice
Extraction to the nice
Newsweek love, the yearly affair, hearts centered for the next level surrounding love
You read on now enchant on
Love is endless
As couples are priceless

Open Road a awaits
My hearting striving on journey no hesitate
Enjoying life in appreciate
Destination anywhere
Certainly no square
Feeling the breeze
All at ease
Routes will be miles
I am caught up in the scenery
My stays could be towns along the way
I am away with what I called home
This is my true life to roam
I am exploring who I am
Something I never took the time
The minutes and seconds to reflect
Somewhere out there I am meant to be
This is my opportunity to surely see
I lived alone in a small house
Well I wasn’t totally along as shared with a mouse
This journey was first a dream but thought possible
It was just a reality being a reminder
So the road is my chance while I still have breath
I don’t know how much living I have left
But this is my venture
A life that will offer adventure
A personal moving picture
So world wave to me as I drive by
This is my one life to try
Tomorrow unknown
But my courage and determination being shown
Until my arrival being a permanent stay
For now, I am traveling astray

It all starts at birth
Nurturing thereafter
Disciplining right from wrong
Teaching the child to how to get along
It includes having respect
Upbringing in effect
It all surrounds the welfare of the child
Endless daily chores while
No time limits
Plenty of sacrifice

Always on call
Being a true Mom even when a child makes a fall
Attending a Child’s personal events
The times together
Hard knocks like no other
Mother instincts
Proud moment when the child grows up to become a Man or Lady
Smart and witty
Once the child is on its own
A Mother’s job is complete
A Mother must let go
The child will become the product for the world to see
The child’s walk of responsibility

It was my journey at TOWN HALL on West 43rd Street in New York City
It was being in a cast part of “I NEED A MAN” on BROADWAY
It was a Gospel play
I had one single line to say
I played a Date
It wasn’t a big part, but I did appreciate
But as my story goes on, there’s an although
I was raised my by Grandparents who forbidden me to go into show business
But God is my witness
It all happened when my Grandparents passed away
It didn’t happen on the same day
In fact, Broadway came too me, and that is what I want to emphasize for all too see
I am a Natural Actor
Never had any Performing Arts training
But I have been around Broadway Stars
Yet my heart says forever yours Broadway
But I am thankful for that moment on that day
The show must go on
But the Pandemic extended really long
However, show business I don’t want to belong
I will always cherish in the opportunity in being part of the stage of Broadway
I imagine performing under the spotlight and surrounded by the singing
But my mind is constantly thinking
It was a fun stunt
I am not looking to Broadway to hunt
It was a moment thing
It was Broadway throughout in entertainment with a swing.

We know how to be ourselves like no other
We get along quite well
It’s noticeable and people can tell
There are two sayings, “No Man Is an Island and Man can’t live on bread alone”
Well our friendship let this be shown
Friendship is something where one must adapt
It’s not something that comes from an app
Yet you won’t find on any map
There will be times of our in difference
But that is what makes friendship unique
Friendship is something everyone should keep
But at the same token there should not be lies of deceit
Friendship is about truth
It might start within your youth
Yet trust is a must
I value you friend
It extends until the very end
Yes this is how our friendship began
Interest at heart
Togetherness making a mark
Our friendship has blossomed like the season spring
But the thought being one thing, “Our friendship began from day one
Once again, I am glad we are still among
This is why I call you friend
When I need you it’s words of can.
