DEVIL’S TRAP
preservationman Mar 2023
Caught in the Devil’s jail
Pulled in without fail
Hot fire
The Devil’s desire
His agenda a set up trap
All could be said is oh snap
In the Devil’s lair
The Devil’s evilness not fair
Hell is no Earth compare
Total evil on the Devil’s mind
Wicked powers and fire combined
Devil, I am not yours to keep
Higher powers to your defeat
I just call on that Heavenly name
I will be free
Now you will flee
Heaven is the key
All thanks to Thee

What do each letter represent?
Does your heart expel in what they spell?
Every letter being a meaning within its self
Sentences only guide and explain
The words are looking to captivate your very soul
Into the mind wanting you to explore
The words are determined and forcing you to not ignore
They are the conquerors being the seekers
They are the believers in one letter at a time
The words want to show you their world you have never seen
But your mind must be ready to come clean
Imagine yet believe
The surface of your forbidden soul
Open up and let the words enter
Surprises after surprises
What comes out is realize
Words you never knew
Their story in what they can do
But now you have a clue
All new
Hidden words all along

MOTHER’S ARE SO SWEET
preservationman May 2021
Eye to Eye
Voice to Voice
The love they bring
Embracing being the thing
It’s a time when a child is sometimes sick
Mother’s to the rescue is what stick
Responsibility never a question
Discipline in my eyes is a life suggestion
Learn from when you are wrong
Having respect when becoming an Adult is how one gets along
Mother’s have no specific schedule
They work around the clock
Their compassion never stops
Mother’s know how to be a Mother, because they act like a Mother should
Mother’s don’t sit still
They know they have duties to fulfill
So on this Mother’s Day
I had to take a moment to say
I cherish you more than you know
Don’t ever let go
I know at times you wonder if you are loved
Every day you are the honor
Every tomorrow is a new day of your inspiration
Every second is my heart enduring in your appreciation
So Happy Mother’s Day to every Mom
Love and embrace
Remembrance of a Mother is something no one will ever erase
preservationman Jan 2022
Blessed Assurance
Thank you for your influence
You were a friend

The gates of Heaven were awaiting your arrival
Your personality was genuine
You were the texture of any elegant wine
You showed the world your love for animals and people being kind
But you heart was always genuine
You were a woman of courage and showing no fear
It was your laughter that was always near
Betty White was one of a kind beyond compare
Your life being full of laughter and joy
You were your own original and no decoy
You enriched the world’s hearts
Your inspiration being well done
No matter what role you played, you were superb
You are now reunited with your Husband in Heaven
It’s a splash Dance moment
You gave the world hope
You maneuvered around cope
Golden Girl, you left legacy as your merit
You will always be cherished
There is only one Betty White
The world doesn’t take that light
You nourished our souls through laughter
This is no goodbye
I won’t even cry
You would say, “Remember me what I established on TV”
You are at peace
Your message to the world is “Turn your dreams into reality”
Fulfill and complete
Act on confidence, but be in a determined mode
You are soaring like an Eagle in free flight
You earned Heaven’s Wings
See you there
Until the chosen time, we will meet again

HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREAT
preservationman Oct 2018
Be careful walking down the streets
You never know what creatures you might meet
But there might be a knock at the door
Hide under the covers but you won’t be able to ignore
You might find yourself in a scream
Creatures know how to be mean
The Moon is where it starts
One slash is the code of the mark
It’s flesh and blood the creatures want
So do plan to try to be alive
The Day and Night might seem blight
Darkness upon with no light
The cost for living doesn’t sound bright
So don’t even think you will have a Good Night
The fright will be your plight
It’s a scary affair
Creatures come out from everywhere
This night is a Phantom fanfare
The best thing I can say is “Happy Halloween” to preserver as it is only fair.
preservationman May 2022

This is your tomorrow
Walk the straight and narrow
Don’t cry, but rejoice

It’s what my goodness will provide
People will make your mind feel week
Don’t relish listening to their defeat
Look up at the skies, and stand strong on your feet

Fulfill beyond your dreams
Illustrate like flowing streams
You will be directed if you are loss
The skies are the force that sets the course
Sustain is remain
Be inspired and encouraged throughout
This is daily as you are moving about
This is brought to you by Spiritual nourish

A POET ONCE SAID
preservationman May 2023
A storm had arrived
That moment was taken in stride
A lesson was learned
A heart burning like an urn
It was like a volcanic eruption
There was distinction in the information
Don’t worry just write the story
The mind focused on the words
Something the Poet wanted to say
The Poet thought, they had put Poetry on hold
Now the words were about to take whole
Tomorrow might be too late
It was no time to hesitate
It was the need to create
A day begins
Writing continues even after the evening ends

But don’t be surprised if you see him wearing plaid
Steve’s story was once told
A very encouraging Man who is Old
When he talks his wisdom takes whole
But Steve is a Man who is bold
Steve once glazed at someone and they literally froze
It was a response in not being able to move
There was simply no statement to prove
That is just how Steve was
Mysterious to a cult
Don’t even think about taking a vote.

Gone on to glory
Left a story
Grandson, Rain only lasts a moment
Sunshine brings the joy of what is to come
You are never alone

There will be days of sadness and despair
Your Heavenly Father is always near
When you kneel and pray things begin to change
It becomes a rearrange
Grandma’s experiences what gave wisdom
I am now up in the Heavenly Kingdom
You will fall, but always get up
Don’t complain
Negative things will remain
Always put Christ first

Understanding in life will flow
Just be assured and be patient

Hold on to Faith
Someday you will deliver your own show and tell
Your own wonders will turn out swell

BY THE ENFORCING WATERS
preservationman Jun 2018
It was that refreshing drink
It was my time to think
That moment alive
I stand and abide
Being a Slave seeing the moving waves illustrate my past life
It was regardless of being a Slave, I have family that create the unity
It was those heritage roots forming a community
Togetherness being hand in hand
Singing spiritual blessings until
I remember praying morning, noon and night that Slavery would once be abolished
My cries in desperation in needing a resolution
I moan for family gone and seek out my families alive
Yet those waters offered a cleansing
Revitalizing and connecting to Heaven itself in commitment
Oh the spiritual rejoice in fellowship with my family ancestors
Waters cooling off while I was hot
Heaven took hold
My testimony, “Have pity on my Soul”
I remained a Slave no more
Uncertainty became possibilities to explore
My new life was reunited with family once more
The waters showed in the vision, and reason to not ignore
Opportunity had truly risen
Advancement was a given chance
So family instilled that unity
The waters were the added purity
The chain was strong in the family bond
Yet I thought to always look upon
It wasn’t a dream, and it wasn’t a yond
It was the flowing waters showing reality in what families should be
It all surrounded me
Flowing waters were the absolute ingredients in family threshold
It’s more than a drip at a time, but a thirst for all family time.

I thought once I broke up with my ex-girlfriend, I would never love again
The Girlfriend I thought I knew was definitely not the one
I thought there was a connection, but we are done
Love I always thought would be everlasting
So one chapter ended
But another just transcended
Walking home and not looking for another Girlfriend, another companion came into my life
I didn’t even ask for advice
I just thought, “Seek and you shall find”
But again, I wasn’t really looking
I guess hope said give love another try
But my mind kept thinking why?
However, when my soon to be new companion approached
I thought this was a set up being a joke
But the Female Companion was totally sincere
Somehow I came out of fear and wanted love to be near
Well my new female companion and I dated, and learned about each other
One thing I did discover
Don’t walk on by without giving a love a try.

REFRESHING SPIRIT

Blessings on high
It all surrounds Thy
When there is a need for understanding
One thinks on everlasting
It’s the guidance from the Almighty
Every day being a blessed rise
Thankful being Heaven’s surprise
When struggles come
You are never alone
When the Devil wants to attack
Defense in barrier makes a strong fact
When people see one as a Child of God
Some people avoid and criticize
Because one is a Child of God, you have favor with a reason to feel energized
The Lord knows our name and we are all recognized
Through the spiritual teachings
We understand
Through the praying, our praises lift’s up
When showers pour
We are cleansed being pure
When Thunder roars, we must be obedient
When we smile, we become radiant
No matter what, pray on
When struggles come, stand up
Feel refreshed in God’s glory

COUNTRYSIDE LIKE NO OTHER
preservationman Jun 2021
Mountains upon Mountains
Highways onto countryside roads
I have been traveling days in miles
Picture taking during while
Cowboys riding their horses
Up close and personal with Farmers in their crops
It closed me to make a little stop
Ranches upon Ranches
The Towns people in their welcome wave
Looking for shade
Sleep at sundown and rise at the Morning Sun
It’s a new day to wake up being among
Always a new beginning with every tomorrow
Mountains high
Hills with a highway rise
Around the bend being always a surprise
At times, there was a detour
But I felt a discovery like being on a tour
I saw flashing Greyhound Bus lights
The Greyhound Dog stretched out in plain sight
Distance from East to West
I covered territory and I can confess
I felt the test of inspiration and disappointment
Yet in between there was a compliment
The countryside showed me who citizens were
It was a journey’s end
I will always remember while I can
I will travel and greet again
But my travel has now come to an end

A MOTHER BEING A MOTHER
preservationman May 2022
It started from my very birth
It was your love flourished to me on Earth
A time when I was sad
Even when I was mad
You took care of me when I was sick
That memory will always stick
It was your love no matter what
Your wisdom taught me that the world won’t be kind
Your words were genuine
Your love was sun up to sun down
You were always around
I cherish the moment of your bed time kisses
Your hearty meals being your fixes
Pulling the bed covers over me
It was a true Mother for me to see
You support me in every way
I still remember this day
When I graduated from High School, it was your loud cheer
When I finished college, you said “Show the world your preserver”
You made me the adult I am today
You died many years ago, but your legacy lives on
Our bond together was strong
Your spirit continues to help me get along
You helped me understand in life where I belong
You made it so clear
I still feel that you are near
You enriched me in Faith
Salvation at every length
I can hear your voice now, “Remember what I always said “Always Remember”
Assurance doesn’t just happen, it is decreed
You are my every moment
I take the time to be inspired in many moments to come
Love you

ACCELERATION INTO STEP IN
preservationman Sep 2020
Fast in moving
A dream is only a dream
At least that is what it would seem
It sounds impossible
Yet there is truth
I am asleep, but I am unable to be awoke
I see my life maneuvering within my dream
I am standing and surrounded by a lovely intriguing stream
I glaze and see my own reflection
But comes a story behind it
I am tormented by many storms
I cry and tears are flowing fountains
Suddenly I am among the mountains
High and mighty with interesting peaks
Alone I am
Then I am surrounded by humble and peace
Silence is in the atmosphere
Immediately I am compelled to turn, turn and turn
Like a Stop Watch, I am in the heart of my dream
Yet I feel frightened
But somewhere within me, I am enlightened
A certain trust comes over me
Yet there is no vision of existence for me to see
A voice echoes walk
I find myself in a talk
Suddenly have to stop
I wonder and asked myself, is this a dream will true
It seemed my yesterday became today
But there was no need for me to worry about tomorrow
My tomorrow had already taken place
Yet I walked and continued to walk
But a voice in the distance gave me a talk
You think you are alone, but I am with you letting it be known
The place that you wonder about is Heaven
It’s about Praise and Rejoice
You have stepped in, and never ever will have to step out

Lies with no truth
Excuses Excuses Excuses
It’s all surrounded from someone’s youth
Remember you are an Adult
You control your tongue
Gossip beyond compare
No concrete explanation to share
The reaction in don’t care
No remorse
It’s just the tongue staying the course
Someone brought up some affair
It really doesn’t clear the air
It’s nobody’s business and why would one really care?
What really matters is why did the team lose the game?
All other gossip is totally insane
We are a team
All thoughts should be clean
We are part of sport
We should just support
There is nothing to sort
Everyone has their right to speak
It should be talk of nothing but deceit
If we loss the game that is considered defeat
We really need to concentrate on what went wrong
Finger point doesn’t belong
Let resolutions be inspiration in fact
If it is going to be otherwise, you need to back track
Words should have a positive flow
Only talk what you know
You can have your thoughts being an encouraging voice
That is your choice
Let your words inspire
Just let your tongue tire
But don’t let your time just expire
Goodness and face should function desire.

It was stripped and decayed

But Halloween will soon arrive
A situation will occur with drive
This is no jive
It was told by a Bus pioneer that on this very day, the Scenicruiser will come alive and ride again
It was the Midnight hour when the Scenicruiser was given new life
The spirits rose from their graves and started the engine in the field of that Scenicruiser bus
Quiet became loud
It was the time for the Scenicruiser being allowed
Tires and interiors began take place
It was 7270 once again on its ride
A Night of moans and cries
It was the spirits encouraging the Scenicruiser to rise
The Scencruiser flash its headlights three times
It gave the signal it was ready to move
It maneuvered smooth
The Scenicruiser headed for the highway
It was dark with no lights
But tonight, the Scenicruiser will add to the fright
The presence of the past
But left to alone in the field with no further use
However, the Scenicruiser will prove it still has what it takes
It doesn’t matter being old and not out of date
It’s Halloween to prove with appreciate
Even the once owner was even surprised
His mind can’t focus realize
But the spirits of Souls are taking their place through the Scencruiser
Cars and trucks just can’t believe
But that doesn’t make the people feel relieved
The Scenicruiser is on its journey of ride
Don’t even find a place to hide
It’s Halloween trick or treat
The Scenicruiser just can’t be beat
Relax and take a seat
The Scenicruiser might just pass by
It’s a one more try
Scenicruiser ride into the night

A PAST FROM 1947
preservationman Nov 2020
First let me inform
1947 I was not born
This poem involves a 1947 Silversides bus that was designed in that year
Now let me preserver
As a Bus Hobbyist
The Silversides is history on every list
It was the 1960’s when my Godmother ran a Charter trip to the Dutch Country, which you know them as the Amish in Pennsylvania
It was a Red and Silver design
It looked like a Trailways fleet
But for me the bus was unique
The Silversides was the Motor coach kind
I actually rode being genuine
There was no Restroom aboard
There was Air Conditioning, but it was the season of spring on a mild day so the Air Conditioning wasn’t needed
I was enjoying riding the Silversides being a Vintage of history
I was given the opportunity to ride a bus having a past
The evolution of time that accelerated fast
But my name is on the 1947 Greyhound Silversides housed at the Greyhound Bus Museum in Hibbing, Minnesota
So I will always be reminded of vintage
The opportunity surrounding privilege
Bus Education giving me leverage

JACK BE
preservationman Aug 2024
Jack being thinking
Understanding would be missing
Thinks that
Brings no fact
Mathematical approach with no Subtract
Says words
Has no meaning
Unassured
Questions life
Excepts no advice
A world his own
Loss in his own thoughts
Observes, but what does he really see?
Doubtful
His life is suddenly on a pause
He is the cause
The name Jack Be
He is something to see
Genuine maybe

BLOOM
preservationman Mar 2021
The thought of spring
Bee’s having that ting
The fragrance of smell within the Flowers
Refreshing showering rains frequent every hour
A refined Earth
Embraced Soil
Enriched Spirits
The beauty of Birds in Flight
The radiant sun in how it casts light
Warmth bringing spring to life in energizing bright
Season’s blend
But there is a beginning and end
Breathless focusing on wonder
Take in that fresh spring air
It is nothing compare
Spring opening the door, but prepare for summer
A mellow tone of music a hummer
Spring now, but prepare for summer

WHAT’S GOING ON
preservationman Apr 2021
Marvin Gaye’s song, “What’s going on?”
A question
Perhaps a suggestion
What’s happening to an untamed world?
A word full of hate
Change can ‘t penetrate
A rising voice won’t stand to illustrate
Cries into moans
Tomorrow on daily sorrow
The world’s hearts flourishing on being shadow
Fist up ready for every fight
Guns adding to the might
What’s going on?
A world that was once on love and respect
It has come to reject
A world nobody knows
But is there understanding in the asking?
It’s the search for change in participate
But it becomes greater into getting enough
Some see it as a bluff
We can’t let go
We must follow through
What can we all do?
Let’s look to pursue
That’s what is going on

SHOPPING ACCENT
preservationman Nov 2023
So many shops
Online included
The galore
The credit card no one can ignore
Then comes the bill
Debt at will
The headache needing a pill
All the shopping to fulfill
Shop until you drop
Like it or not
Gifts to buy
Everybody has different taste
I will see them face to face
Buy Buy Buy
Thinking ideas on the mind
There’s always that regret
Shopping has that effect
The holiday is no bet
Reality calling
No time stalling
Move with a swift
Mistletoe Kiss
Perhaps some would say, I wish
There is a beware
Scams will be out as you are moving about
Caution is in order
As you buy
I say bye

ABSOLUTE WITNESS
preservationman Mar 2024
It describes myself
No one can say it better
My time of near Death
What time I had left
Born as an infant
Health problems from start
Doctors saw a depart
My Grandmother prayed being smart
Family sadness in woes
There’s an although
Doctors figured I would only live to Seven
Odd number
My number supposed in slumber
My Grandmother being a praying lady
A women of Faith
Strong Christian principles
Devoted and spiritually inspired
Spoke to the Lord direct
The outcome spoken word had effect
The Almighty expelled that I would have life
All his advice
Not Doctors expectation
It was emphasized I would be a blessing to my Grandparents
It all came to pass
Just as the Almighty said it would
It seemed like Seven was unlucky number
Doctors saw succumbed
The Almighty saw everlasting
I am now at the Senior age of 67
No conclusion, but a life held steady
It wasn’t my time
The Almighty who is kind
It goes to show, the Almighty is the can and shall.

SENSELESS DEATH
preservationman Feb 2019
Dark Alley the very spot
Observation of a victim unaware of a plot
It was going to be a dare
It will be total darkness throughout the air
So as the victim walked
The killer was in pursue in stalked
It seemed as victim walked with one footstep at a time, there was immediately two footsteps being swished
The Moon was heavily shaded
It was a Cloudy gloomy night
But there was no place and time to turn
Soon after, the victim turned around and he was knocked in the head and collapsed to the ground
Suddenly silence was the sound
The Killer escaped into the night
Meanwhile, the victim lied still in a pool of blood flowing from the blow to the head
What a pity of the victim being murdered
No one knows the motive, and there were no witnesses
It was a poor soul in a senseless Death.

I O F T E N W O N D E R
preservationman Feb 2019
When struggles come, and I am praying on my knees, and I am in tears
My struggles put in all kinds of fears
I wonder Lord do you care
It’s my wonder
Then praying and waiting a moment for an answer
My struggles start turning to doubt
But I call on loud, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus in a despair shout
Waiting and wondering
It isn’t until later, a voice tells me to “Stand” being so merciful and gentle but is the Great I am
So I rise up from praying on my knees being a voice from Heaven
Jesus response says, “I am the Lord that hears all cries
I am the Lord that conquers that people can’t overcome
I am the Lord that is always among
Yet, you are never alone
I am your Comforter, Counselor, Problem Solver and everything else one could think of but in the Heavenly sense
Your own doubt held you back at your moment
Observe the wonders of what I put on this Earth
Watch as the clouds change in formations
Weather and how the seas wave
I am that God and will always be that God
Your struggles are going to be worked out
It was solid praying of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus in your shout
That was your praise
But watch as I amaze
Don’t doubt, but hold on to Faith
Continue to stand and walk, but wonder no more
Jesus I am as its salvation to always explore.

So you are hooked on phonetics
Introduce yourself to the keyboard and computer screen
Remember to keep your writing precise and lean
Have a dictionary beside you so know what words you want to use in how the words will fit in what you want to write, and knowing the words in the definition in what they mean
Now that the computer is ready
Then your thoughts being steady
The theory behind writing might be a composition
But then again, that would be your decision
Let’s write about what inspired you to write, and we can extend from there
But let me start with myself as an example
It was a sleepless night
There was tossing and turning
I turned on the lamp light
Words began to pop into head
This all happened while I was still in bed
Words and sentences that just came together
Sentences after sentences
References with more references
My mind began to take control
It was words and sentences that illustrated behold
I was very much surprised
But I began to realize
There was definitely writing in me
So I knew immediately at that moment, I had to pursue
Yet writing was never on my mind then
It was when telling me to start
I was totally connected and didn’t part
Writing is completing what you start
It then become right on
How’s that for your Writing 101?
Guess what, this lesson is complete and we are now done.

MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER
preservationman Oct 2019
We have Pork Chops that are tender
They are cut just right being slim and slender
Mash Potatoes I would recommend
Our seasoning is done in a special blend
Vegetables straight from the Farmer’s Market
Freshness you can depend
Our assortments of desserts stretch to no end
We don’t stop there
We have a new dessert called, “Multitude Galore”
It has various nuts, cream and little extras
But it is the flavor
Alcoholic and Soft Drinks to ignite your mouth
We have a new Alcoholic drink called “Southern Belle” capturing the South
But I have already said too much, let me shout my mouth
Thank you for coming to “Eating Delight”
Now you know our menu is out of sight.

WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW?
preservationman May 2022
I wonder all the time surrounding my family
There doesn’t seem to be any care
I feel on alert of beware
There should be love
There is none to think of
Excuses with refuses
I am picturing my own Funeral
My family didn’t communicate with me when I was alive
They are nothing but jive
I am actually living in my own strive
Family love was mentioned to me
It wasn’t from their heart
No sincerity
My tomorrow could very well be soon
It might even take place at western terms, “High Noon”
Family needs to talk to me while I can answer
Otherwise, it will be disconnected to everlasting
What did I do so wrong?
I don’t see a get along
I often wonder, is this the family I belong?
I deserve better than this
This is nothing to pass by and miss
When goodbye comes that’s the finale
Never to return
Family is about associate
Moments to appreciate
Foundation of create
What happened?
Where’s how and when?
Don’t make it a pretend
Everlasting is the end
Don’t wait until I am in the box
Don’t maneuver like a fox
You should do while I was living
Now it is all about deceiving
You had no intention from the beginning
Tomorrow will be what it is supposed to be
I am not going to wait and see
Living is about life
I am not going to give advice
Tomorrow will come in where time went
Sailing into the horizon
Admiring the Sunset
Distance far from the shores
Refreshing breezes
Bridges and Lighthouses along the way
Whales and Dolphins doing their dazzling maneuvers
Sharks looking to attack
The oceanic feeling like a gateway of opportunity
God’s watery creation
Heaven’s sensation
Rainbows of hope
The drift having a sail
Wonders beyond and deep
Oceans never cease
Tomorrows that continue
Every today a take in
Viewing and observing
Peaceful and calm
Tranquil mind
Writing thoughts that pop in
Calm waves forming relaxed emotions
Inspiration rise
Open air to wise
Oceanic emphasize

POWER OF PRAYER
preservationman Apr 2024
Change into transform
Power through praise
Power of how praying transcends
Lifted up assurance
Faith influence
Despair into a turnaround
Health condition prayer seeing hope
Praying helping one to cope
Praying with a purpose
Praying with a need
Praying for strength
Power every hour
Praying is perseverance
Praying being a blessing
Never easy, but necessary
My Grandmother taught me to pray
Praying has become my relay
A proceed
The conquer and stride
What Faith provides
Privilege
Above all
Praying until
Faith, Faith and continued Faith
Praying among and aloud
Key to the Kingdom
