Journey yonder
Portal to adventure
It’s book chapters to enter
The worlds add to the detail
Dialogs with their own meanings
Face with Death
How much time do I have left?
Omitted from Death in life precise
Confused and not sure
Thinking score
But the aftermath ended in ignore
I am far away in an unknown land
But there is no parade of a caravan
I see comfort and peace
The frustrations can now be released
However, a sudden calmness takes over
A storm rages and need to take cover
A clear voice says, “Be Brave”
Suddenly, there was no within fear
I knew inspiration was near
A book showed a past
The timeline that accelerated fast
Situations that just couldn’t last
Wonder became understanding
The book full of answers
Yonder being the tomorrow
But it was yesterday we came
Our journey that was already destined

preservationman Jun 2018
This was on the Out Of Business Domenico Tours Bus license plate
This message could safe your fate
Listen carefully and don’t worry about being late
Why rush driving in a hurry?
This is what starts my story
Truly one should drive in arriving alive
But it is not funny nor is it jive
Careless driving is a possibility being a road death
Time is simply cut short
Not a theory of sort
In fact, critical thinking being the thought
Enjoying one’s journey in a much needed vacation
It’s a time to relax and taking in appreciation
Driving abruptly should not mount to a situation
Driving at your own dangerous is a risk for deviation
Drive within the speed limit
That’s all too it
The mission should always be “ARRIVE ALIVE”
This is what you should drive in strive
So play it safe
Driving means being alert and taking control
Your driving message should always be “Arriving Alive” that should you should take hold
Remember, the highway is not yours, but the multitudes that drive
Arrive Alive and your tomorrow will see a Sunrise
The thinking should be realize
Being alive the added surprise.

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.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE
preservationman Jul 2019
Independence leading to Freedom
Knowledge educating with Wisdom
Bravery in conquering overbearing struggles
The call for the Birth of a Nation
It was an establishment being our appreciation
As a Patriot America, you stood tall
This is our America being our call
The song of right overshadowing the wrong
Our Forefathers saw America with reality kicking in
America’s beginning happening from then
Our heritage became our privilege
Prestige throughout
Philadelphia and Washington, DC with working America’s existence in details out
A War Hero only knows
It’s America’s birthday of Red, White and Blue that shows
The ashes cleared
War no more
America conquered and saw
America became the United States of America
So stand up America and be counted
Heroes our Patriots
I hear a Song, “America, you were once uptight, but Freedom became strong and it was the multitudes of Races where we all belong. It was a battle cry with efforts being every try. America stands today being a symbol of a Nation. We wouldn’t be America if it wasn’t for our dedicated Men and women in the Military Uniform. Stand proud America and salute. In the distance, I hear a musical playing flute. Yeah, Yankee Doodle Dandy with an upward swing, but today, Happy Birthday America being the thing”.

MEDIA POETRY NEWS HEADLINE
preservationman Sep 2018
News you thought would be from TV, Radio or Technology
Those are all possibilities with scope of analyzing to see
Words that tell the story
Sometimes being a image figure who spoke
Seriousness not being a joke
Focal eyes in seeing the White House in a mess
When it comes Justice one can’t get even a confess
But the words continue to come on
But Headlight News that keeps moving along
Now Supreme Court Judge looking to be confirmed
But details about the Incoming Judge what the senate has learned
Policies with a question
But the some of the senate have a problem with the Judge’s interview throughout the session
Fake News the President often says
Yet it is his truth that strays
But the media is determined to stay
However, the American people deserve to know what’s going on in the world and that is an ok
But the American people need to know
It seems the White House puts on quite a show
As Poets, we have News all of our own
It’s called “Don’t let down”
The President certainly can’t push some of us around
Our words that stand up
We don’t tire and get fed up
Our words aren’t fake
Our emotions that take
Poet’s words are safekeeping for peace sake
It’s our inspiration at stake
The only news that Poet’s carry is “Appreciation”
Our total encouragement is total “Aspiration”
Our teachings in writing, “Preparation”
We write what we feel
Sometimes it could very well be for real
But in any event, we as Poets is our news well spent.

WALK THROUGH TIME

Every second and minute
I feel I am in a Time Capsule
My inner feelings are lifted up and I am off on a mission
Time being the precision
Journey through an Hour Glass
I must fulfill the task
Acceleration on impact
A reflection back
My moment to explored
Promise and honest finally coming together
I am walking through a Portal
Feels more like a funnel
My past is revealed
Nothing is concealed
The Portal showed my life mattered
The truth being told
It’s understanding to take hold
Never mind presence deleted
Truth in spirit

Time being an opportunity

NOT LIKE US
They live and Breathe
Words are spoken
Yet there is a separation
Race seems to be a curse
Needs to be a turnaround in reverse
Change in attitude and thinking
Transforming the Tongue
Race created from a higher calling becoming among
Together we stand and fall
Race is like half and half
One side Embraces and the other side avoids
Words sound alike, but becomes uncertainty
Assumption bound
Hatred in the sound
Guilt in refusing
Concept in not accepting, but aiming high in not wanting to know
One day, One day, all voices coming together in unity
Not like us
No need to cuss nor fuss
All races are the added plus.

SURROUNDED BY THE STORM
preservationman Mar 2018
All alone in the middle of the field
This situation was actually for real
It was Thunder and Lightening accompanied by a Tornado
The mighty winds blew
But this was something I was chosen to do
Suddenly a calm voice shouted out
“Stand still and don’t move about”
You are in a Trial and Tribulations bout
You won’t be harmed so don’t be alarmed
I wondered how I was being assured?
However, this was the accord coming from the Lord
The Lightening was striking, but it didn’t involve me
The Tornado caused destruction, and I was able to see
I was still able to stand
I was standing on the Heavenly Earth land
I remember thinking I would be picked up into the Tornado’s funnel
But that wasn’t the case
An image of the Lord Appeared, and we were now face to face
I bring you comfort my Brother
I chose you like no other
You have been blessed
Don’t take my goodness for less
Watch as the storms calms down
Just observe and look around
Beams of the sun will appear
You are no longer in fear
I am the Lord being the storm
I assured you I mean no harm
You witnessed with your own eyes
Tell your Testimony, as I am the surprise
Continue to walk and talk about me
You are my brother for all to see
A storm is a daily occurrence that one must go through
Yet through Faith in believing
Your struggles too bear there will be relieving
Fail me not
No, this isn’t a plot
I am the Lord saying thanks a lot.

Utterance with tolerance
Challenge mustering endurance
The confirmed assurance

DREADFUL CIRCUMSTANCES
preservationman Jul 2022
Eyes on the nation
Situations occurring
No narration needed
How did America even get into serious situations?
Situations that have caused people to be murdered and even hospitalized
Throughout all this turmoil not even an apology
Guns in the hands with a purpose to ****
Missions with strategies to fulfill
The world often asks themselves in will they be next?
Sometimes wonder circulates as people even step out their doors
Media news you can’t ignore
Anguish runs through America’s minds
It’s not something sublime
Its reality being truth
Everyone says change must come
But change comes from within everyone who thinks differently in these dreadful
Circumstances
But the same scenario keeps continuing
Its people that must change in order for a change to be a reality
Change must rise in how people think and associate with others
The idea of hate must form togetherness in becoming relate
Right now, we are living in fate
People must appreciate one another and get along with one another
There can’t be I don’t care attitude
Peace must have solitude
We are living in a world that is slowly becoming conclude
What the world needs is love being soothe
Calmness with no worry
Mistakes with sorry
The world can’t change itself as people make up the world
My Grandfather often spoke “IT TAKES ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE TO MAKE UP THE WORLD”
People must change their own narrative in their own justifications
In a world no human created, but why destroy a world that has lots to offer
Some people even think “****” is the way
But what is the cause of one’s negative thinking of others?
Whatever happened in the past let it be buried in the past
The thought of killing doesn’t do wrong, but the exchange in fulfilling
Change your thinking
A world of tomorrow could be eliminated today
Stand for everyone’s life
That is my advice

What is it about Houndtown?
Could it be a name associated with the Greyhound bus?
Perhaps there is a relationship to the racing Hound?
Assuming is not going to help
Research is what I felt
Let’s go deeper into the story and find out about Houndtown being anywhere in the USA
The town was formed in 1924 in the backwoods being nothing more than full of forest
Hunting was its biggest hobby
However, I firmly believe hunting went beyond hobby, and into food survival
I see your mouth is drooling
But don’t get too hungry
Remember the animals roam, but I will leave that alone
Some kinfolks from Houndtown say it relates to numerous breed hounds that would be in the area
No one really knows why various hounds would be in Houndtown, but my guess being the forest in the wide open spaces
Now that would be a trace
Maybe I should add that the racing Hound got Houndtown’s start
It went beyond becoming a town on a map
It could have been Houndtown written on my cap
Yet, the racing hound being fast on its feet
Victories with very little defeat
Houndtown being a small town portion
I wasn’t born there, so from me it is only a notion
Now some historians have stated that Houndtown discovered the Fountain of Youth
Don’t rush to Houndtown looking for the potion as that would be a miracle
I have to keep it real
That is how I deal
So from what I have heard Houndtown seemed to have a lot of promise
Now I had to be honest
Houndtown with a name nobody knows, but through narration now everyone knows.

A finale that will arise
Beginning to conclusion
This is no illusion
Tomorrow that becomes sorrow
Preparation in advance
Living after living in chance
But chapters of life do end

Ever after
No longer laughter
A final curtain
Darkness creeps
Rest in peace sleep

The guiding light beams like a flashlight
It’s all in plain sight
Death has called and I have died through the night
Captivation that shined bright

Lots of scenery in reason
It took four days
Hour by Hour

That is what I call a vacation getaway

No stress nor perplexed
Major cities and towns stopped along the way
No carry nor care in being estray
The hound bus with the scent for the open road
It was the scenery through the picture windows that unfolded
Hound bus headlights at night being the guide
Ever so close to the destination ride
The thought of “Get in touch with America up close”
Mountains high and wide
Taking the highway in stride
Boldness of America

BREAKABLE GLASS

One drop becomes a break
When it gets personal it becomes hate
Standards is what the heart creates
Plastic is only a assimilate
The glass being broken promises
Honesty that was always false
Particular setting the course
Glass cracks nothing but lies
But don’t get hypothesized by looking into the eyes
Its phoney hopes and dreams
People are not what they seem
Shattered emotions
Broken glass connected with broken spirit
It is called second class
Broken for sure with an abode
Glass pieces can’t be fixed
The heart can’t do a mend
It’s a clean sweep
The broken separation is what the heart will keep
Breakable glass cut deep

GHOST TOWN HIGHWAY
preservationman Feb 2018
While on vacation travelling Cross Country on a Hound Bus
I wanted to see the America’s countryside without the fuss
I reclined in my seat and just relaxed
I left all my stress behind and the feeling from being perplexed
My window seat being a moving postcard
It was scenery upon scenery
The Hound Bus made numerous stops along the way
But for me, this was a nice getaway
But there was more to this trip
It goes far beyond any rain drip
The Hound Bus stopped in a town called “DESERT WIND”
This is where our journey begins
It was in that Ghost Town of DESERT WIND, Arizona where the tumbleweed were flying everywhere, shutters were hitting against the wooden homes, the desert wind was kicking up the desert sand, but there were no dwellers in the town
The sunrise was starting to reflect a new horizon
A passenger boarded and the Hound bus proceeded on
We were back on the road where we belonged
But a wonder often enters my mind
Were there spirits that formulated the Ghost Town with eerie moments?
We will never know
But it goes to show
Ghost Towns could very well exist
But it adds a certain mystery twist.

AMEN POSITION

The world seems to worship the GOP
But everlasting comes from the GOD
People relish money like a Church Collecting Plate
Yet won’t support GOD before it’s too late
People let wordly things as their possession
But GOD wants your true confession
It’s the lesson of the spoken word
GOD’S goodness and mercy in being heard
GOD being the hope
GOD’S surrounding the Faith
GOD’S Deliverance
Guidance is an influence
GOD’S look on Earth in tolerance
Occurrence after occurrence
But the world gives the GOP praise
GOD is overlooked in amaze
What will it take to get the world’s attention?
The GOP represents a party of Doubt
We are the image of the GOD who works things out
Honest and true
Yet, no following with a pursue
GOP doesn’t hold your tomorrow
GOD can get you through sorrow
He’s the key that unlocks any closed door
I can tell you that for sure
It’s the daily wonders we always see
But the world continues to let be
GOP being a wonder of its own
It’s nothing full blown
You never know what to expect
But GOD being the Almighty, the world rejects
Think GOD and GOP less
Let GOD prepare you for his test
The results will become confess.

Don’t cry
View me at my Funeral with appreciation
My beauty of creation
Remember how I lived a good life
My encouragement of advice
Close to the Heavenly Father
Like no other
Embrace in how I made you smile
During your hard times while
My heart I gave
At peace in my grave
Some people never gave me a time of day
Too those, I stayed astray
My life is now complete
No more surrounded with the world deceit
Never gave into defeat
Always held my head high
The reason being guided by Thy
Proud of how my life turned out
Daily as I moved about
In a positive way
Every day
Some people just don’t care
Fair is written in the air
Fulfillment made
Out of the shade into forgiveness
Heaven is my witness
Determined will
Acceleration from still
My Soul at rest
Only I can contest
Goodbye won’t be said
Until we meet again instead.

MY DIARY OF THE BLACK MAN
preservationman May 2021
Being the Leader in controlling one’s manly life
The Black Man  should always know what they want
Sometimes being guided from sound advice
Having confidence in being assured
Under the accord of Faith which comes from our Lord
Understanding being a Black Man
Not let opposition say otherwise
The Black Man is the head of the household by demand
Expressing conviction when emotions are wrong
Yet through it all remaining always strong
The Black Man knowing when to take his place
Sometimes the enemy wants to meet face to face
Creating the right environment for a family
Supporting the Wife or Girlfriend
Knowing the Wife or Girlfriend is the Black Man’s companion who will give good advice
The Black Man having no doubt to think twice
Being Father to your Son or Daughter as a Black Man should
But society wonders if the Black Man could
It’s about survival all in that order
The Black Man who romances a woman with having a baby
It means taking responsibility and not someone else
The Black Man is the unity being solely self
The Black Man must look beyond seeing the woman as a *** object
The woman has the right to reject
But it’s the enchanting interlude having the effect
The Black Man is considered a king
But the Black Man must always remember one thing
A woman is a Queen
The Black Man cannot substitute anything in between
The Black Man presents the image of destiny
The inspiration from within
The Diary of the Black Man
Psychological approaches throughout the land
The Black Man is who he is, and knows how to standalone
It’s the Black Man’s creed
His mind is focused on proceed
Having compassion to help others when in need
I am that Black Man

One note at a time played thereafter
It was melody of joy
The rhythm was oh boy

Pleasure for listening
Piano story of its own

Every note getting everyone’s attention
The blend soothing to the end
Remembrance of a Death
A life risen within the tempo
A time of when and how
Rhapsody from then
Reflection being the selection
The piano was the representation

The residents who live there applaud in appreciation
But on this particular day something was wrong
This is the moment where one must be strong
There were no people nor trains
The whole experience was totally insane
Where did all the people go?
No one really knows
Some say Aliens from Out of Space
But there is no evidence being that trace
Even in a city, there were no people around
They weren’t anywhere to be found
Mysterious as it sounds
Puzzled head in confound
And there was one alone being unknown.

preservationman Sep 2018
This is the Poet communication being their own inspiration cuisine
Words being direction
Sentences illustrating the selection
Poems from everywhere
Emotions that the Poet wants to share
Ideas all in the mind
The open door of sublime
But the Poet Magazine wants the reader to keep this in mine
Inner emotions becomes outer emotions of expression
You could say it is a learning lesson
Poets are artist with creativity with words ready to perform
The reader will be thinking isn’t that the norm
But it is all about the sentences and words in how they form
But there is a feeling of dramatics
Words start but the sentences add to the finish
Distinction throughout the mount
But appreciation in what counts
Daylight into the twilight
Words visual with their own antics
But don’t try to measure metric
Poets think Quick
Think of us like an Action Flick
The movement of the Pen as the Poet stepped in
A moving keyboard with wizardry of all Poets that can
The thought that was established even then
Into the hearts throughout the world
Swirl Swirl Swirl
The time being always now
But Poets are individuals that show how.

Robert Conrad best known role in the TV series called, “WILD WILD WEST”
He was a Secret Service Agent
He would often be confronted with villain attacks
But Robert Conrad wasn’t one to step back
However, he had so many stunts, it’s even hard to keep track
Heaven said, Robert Conrad, your time is now
He didn’t step aside
But Lord I will abide
Obedience on every accord
Robert Conrad being a true achiever in stunts ability
He would often do his own stunts
Robert Conrad showed the TV fans just who the performer portrayed in Jim West was about
It was what the West in what came out
The Sunset came quick
The Wild Wild West Star is what will stick
The sunrise will continue to shine
But the name Robert Conrad is what the world will keep in mine
Heaven being Robert Conrad’s outlook
Everlasting fulfilled
Rest in peace in God’s will.

MOTHER WHY
preservationman Oct 2023
Mother why?
You abused me with your mouth
Didn’t you realize what would come out
You said you never wanted me
That was love I didn’t see
You stated you would have had an abortion on it
That tells me I wasn’t fit to live
You had no love to give
I used to cry many days and nights
My cries were hope in that you would change
There was no rearrange
No appreciation whatsoever
You are at a distance
You say Mother
I was raised by another
My Grandparents
They gave me the love and nurture
Kodak moment in my mind and heart
Love being something you never could
Didn’t even bother to try
You saw me as an ugly duckling
An outcast with no purpose
Your reasoning unsure
I became Heaven’s survival see
You smoked while carrying me
Death was on your mind
I am no longer bitter
You thought of me as litter
My Grandparents are proud in the person I became
All I can say it is a shame
Why couldn’t you feel the same?
Totally lame
My Grandparents will always look down on me from Heaven
They will always say, “We raised you well”
I have no love for you Mother
Only respect
Aftermath wanted to beat me down
But I am still around
You can’t have my heart
Moved on with no regret
You had that much effect
I am mature and on my own
This is how I felt
My hurt
My story
Inspired blessings through glory

TURKEY FRENZY
preservationman Nov 2023
Oven nice and hot
All Turkeys say not
Turkey dash run here and there
Stuffing with all the seasoning ready
The Turkeys have no choice but to hold steady
Knives are all prepared
Cook and serve
Giving thanks all deserve
Turkeys say why us?
Thanksgiving tradition being the must
Turkeys are always in a getaway rush
They are chanting, “NO”
Like it or not
Look Turkeys, you are the main course
We humans are the force
Turkeys rebel with a picket sign, ‘DOWN WITH THANKSGIVING”
Table set
Have a seat
Let’s eat
Turkey defeat

My Roots
Countryside
A place where I reside
Prudence Trail
Wide with High Mountains
Railroad tracks run the entire mile stretch
I often lurk among the wooden trees as the Memphis Marvel passes by
There are times I even cry
I think on the many journeys with being a passenger aboard
Farm life is a bore
I want to travel to destinations with possibilities
Hope I waited for far too long
I am stuck on a farm doing chores after chores
No town folks to talk too
Always farm work to pursue
The hot sun from morning to dawn
The moments of a quick yond
Endless work within the fields
Desperations being no contest
Memphis Marvel is more than a train name
It’s travel to a new world
Places I don’t see
Yet places I wish I could be
There will be a time when I will leave among my roots
It will sound like melody in musical *****
Enough talking
Back to work
No perk
My hour is not yet done
One day I will be on the Memphis Marvel
Journey to anywhere
Beyond compare
Beyond my roots
I can dream
Tomorrow being like a moving picture
My adventure being obvious
No look back
Staying on track
Memphis Marvel, please take me away.

OLD BONES
preservationman Jun 2023
It finally happened
I am old
My own behold
Every step an effort
Every movement determination
Pain I won’t let hold me back
Years of living my track
Honored to be old
Wisdom gained
Young bones become old bones
Not ready for the grave
Wonder behind every shave
Getting some shade
My hair might be white
Wisdom and don’t take it light
Longevity
The bones flexible
Mobility
Old bones
Knowledge with a threshold
Old bones
Strength
Movement every length
Senior Citizen to the world
Listen young bloods
Getting old is an honor
Young bloods, you have yet to see what I have seen
You think you know, but don’t
Keep living and you shall
The pudding is in the movement
Old bones are golden treasure
Years of pleasure in good measure

A WISH UPON MANY STARS
preservationman Oct 2018
Stars that shine bright
Enlighten me with inspiration during the night
I wish upon numerous starts
Let my dreams take me far
Away with doubt
Instill hope in what I am talking about
Educate my mind and let me see the wonders
I discoveries that happen yonder
Let my dreams actually come true
Yet let me be totally thankful through
Your shine being my guide
It’s your brightness that you provide
You stand out and don’t hide
At times, clouds hide your shine
It’s Heaven’s environment combined
You are shown throughout the world
Where there are stars come suppose
When it comes to people we are those
It’s a sky look up in think
I hope my wish will come dream
A stars dream is like a moving soothing stream
One twinkle leads to a dazzle
Stars bright encourage me tonight.

CREDIT CARDS SPLITZ
preservationman Jan 2018
Payments that must be paid
Payment due being the relay
Debt is not ok
Credit Card statement in what was charged
Total amount is over the top
All this charging must come to a stop
I must watch my credit score
I don’t need my interest to soar
As Benjamin Franklin stated, “A Penny saved is a penny earned”
Now I must be wise in how I spend
But my inspiration to shop must come to an end
It’s a credit card alert
It’s no special perk
It’s comes with saving where I am living on Earth.

Man says you need a College Degree to excel
Heaven has its own tell
Heaven incorporates a decree in divine understanding
Yet praying in Faith is what is outstanding
However, it is throughout sustaining
A degree is only a piece of Cardboard
It can be torn and thrown away
Heaven’s decree is in the heart and soul that will always stay
The decree is Heaven’s decree in salvation Higher Learning, but with understanding
Man’s emphasizes Degree
Heaven emphasizes the soul in decree
Yet the Bible is the Teacher and Learning tool
Man states the Degree of fulfillment is what is cool
Man’s books are nothing more than theories and concepts
The Bible gives knowing how to live using the concepts in realities like case studies giving hope in knowing how to cope
Higher Learning is a process through a certain period
Yet Heaven’s Higher sustaining salvation is external into everlasting
However, Man’s Higher Learning, one doesn’t always master or understand the principles involved
The Bible opens up the principles with divine understanding beyond any College Textbook
Salvation is the educate, and all one has to do is take a look
So Man thinks a degree that will take you far
Yet knowledge, wisdom and perception is Heaven’s components come beyond the stars
A degree may look good with your name and degree name
But Heaven is all the Higher Learning involved having aim
It takes Prayer, Faith, Believing and Trusting being God’s decree to everlasting education and knowledge
Man’s Degree and Heaven’s decree all over privilege
But Heaven is the key that truly gives leverage

INSTINCT ATTACK
preservationman Aug 2020
The timeline being September 11, 2001
The place was New York City
A city that was shown no pity
The day warm, clear cloudless skies and Sunny
It has always been said, quite it before the storm
But it was a day of pure unexpected
Destruction that came swift
Nothing to do but response
The drama that became straight like a movie action screen
Commercial Airliners were like missiles in a war
The only differences, witnesses actually saw
The target were the previous Twin Towers 1 and 2
The first Commercial Airliner attacks tower 2 with a mass explosion
Employees working in that building made their escape, while others in attempt perished
Some were stuck in Elevators
Some even jumped out of windows to their death
Precision had another plan, another Commercial Airliner pummels into Tower 1,
First tower 2 felt and then tower 1 in hours
Meanwhile, below on the streets, people were running, screaming and crying with what seemed like a war within the downtown area of New York City
But the reality was, who did such an evil act, but would there be a tomorrow
The act was Middle Eastern Terrorist Group
Nothing but sorrow after sorrow
I am telling this as of information, I was suppose to work on the 103rd floor of Tower One for a company, but the company felt I was overqualified
For me that was a blessing in disguise
I did witness Tower 2 get hit from my job on the 14th Floor
It was like seeing a Movie Screen 3D
Everyone was a star in this actual reality
But the ashes have cleared, and rebuilding has been done and complete
The scars being a reminder, “Never Forget”
Lives loss
New York City felt the force in grief
But could a terrorist act surface again on New York City
Be watchful and observe the skies
Heaven is in charge
But do observe into the possibilities

Band playing
Drinking and Dancing
Summer heat
Hot with desire
Only Baltimore

Full of excitement
Old Baltimore was an enter
Pure adventure

OCEAN TO SHIPS
preservationman May 2024
Follow the waves
Ship maneuver with care
You will feel at times dips
Seasick tip
Ups and down
Nausea could be found
Oceans in control
The ocean showing ships behold
Ship to shore nowhere to be found
Lighthouses along the way
Captains always pay attention and don’t let your eyes go estray
Seagulls will be flying overhead making all kinds of sounds
Ocean journeys in and out
Ships everywhere moving about
Oceans can be called seas
Miles of depth of waters to see
Skies above
The Heavens to think of
Ocean feel
All for real
Ocean to ships
Smooth sailing
Ship Ahoy

HYMN OF THE SEAS
preservationman Feb 2022
Singing far off in the distance
Fathoms below
A Soul has been lifted up
The seas heard the cries of many
Sea Gods connected directly to Heaven
Souls are embraced beyond space
No visibility nor trace
The waves showcased numerous lives
Remember the before into the after
Souls are welcomed high above
Musical sea tones
What was flesh is now transformed into a living soul
Storms spoke of struggles
Lightning flashes establishing overcame
The seas can’t hold any soul down
Soul’s descended being Heaven bound
They need no more
They conquered the seas and soar
Rain only purifies what any heart always was
The breeze only refreshes one is never alone
A look up, but now becomes a look below
Shores upon shores being nowhere to be found
Birds flying enjoying the wonders over the seas
Ocean thoughts
Carefree breezes
Souls to thee
Reflections of Souls to see
Hymn of the seas

SOCK OF CONVICTION
preservationman Sep 2019
A story told Sunday in Church
I see you are starting to munch
It was testified about a Funeral of a Christian Saint
No from what I heard the attendee didn’t faint
It was a large amount of guess
Again no, it wasn’t a request
All the Minister’s that were there were asked to take off their shoes
Now I wasn’t there, and I am only giving accord in what was told, and please don’t get confused
So all the Minister’s in attendance were now in their bare socks
The Ministers were majority being the flock
But there was a strange happening, the other Minister’s big toe popped out being large and in charge
It was quick thinking in putting the shoes back on
Apparently the yearn that wasn’t strong
The big toe and the sock just couldn’t get along
So a lesson here, check the socks thoroughly before you put them on
You may find yourself in a situation where you don’t belong
The sock’s maybe at their finish, and won’t make you distinguished.

We don’t need another Hero
Private Dancer
Rolling on the River
On Silent Wings
These are only a small sample of the many songs recorded by Tina Turner
She flew into her tomorrow
Fans around the globe feeling sorrow
Ms. Turner performed always her powerful dance
Fans always excited at her concerts being captivated like in a trance
She moved in pulsating motions and a voice of an angel
Transcended peace
Ms. Turner will always be remembered as an ICON
Her own blend even to the end
Ms. Turner’s determination always had a preserver
Her soulful spirit soaring through the skies
The Legend roaming with Thy
Ms. Turner having a story of contemporary
The moment of pause only temporary
Yet her soul will be among our hearts forever
Ms. Turner lived her purpose and destiny out
If there was a message she would leave her many fans, I believe it would be, “Be determined and just do it. Be your own best”
Ms. Turner left me with, “Can, Shall and Will”
She now above all
A journey well spent
Heavens sent
Her time not our time
To be remembered and never forgotten
Until, Until, Until
It’s not goodbye
Ms. Tina Turner is rejoicing with Thy
We shall meet again.

Larry King’s name spans like an Enterprise
His viewpoints were all for us to realize
Radio and TV and Larry King was the truth
Searching for what makes sense or analyst
I would watch Larry King as if he was giving me a personal understanding in lesson being his own wisdom
He shares that thought in the Heavenly Kingdom
Larry King’s talent will always have recognition
He voice being precise
He gave the world never ending advice
Larry King set the tone
But it was words becoming full blown
Larry King was the man for words to live by
His determination was always give a try
His virtue was be true to yourself and others
Farewell to a Media Icon
Larry King flew away on Heaven’s wings
But he leaves his legacy being the thing
Embrace me close

BATTLE OF ALL TIME
preservationman May 2021
Destruction going through my head
It’s attack on instinct being the instead
Struggles through the ashes
But I must rise above
There’s a story within a story
Chapters of fight
Vengeance with might
Darkness controls
But I see uncertain light
The mind says focus
I am surrounded by time
But why do I feel so unkind?
There is fire burning within my heart
Lost soul
I stand alone being bold
Perhaps I should kneel and pray
I remember my Grandmother saying praying makes everything ok
Lord, help me reach beyond what I can’t control
Be my guide
Turn my spirit into centralize
But let me apologize
Let my struggles become victory
Your presence being your glory
Story to tell
Show me that straight line
You said walk and continue to walk
It was our talk
A turnaround
I am free
It’s a new day
Tomorrow has no sorrow
Living life
Knowing in receiving
Struggles that bind
I am turned loose
