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

You feel alone
Life has no meaning
Struggles surround you like closing in walls
Feel heavy and bound
But wait, I hear an inspiring tone from the hills
Now just be still
Hope is found above
It’s the Almighty you should think of
Knee and pray
The Almighty is the relay
He will show you the way
Darkness will turn to light
He will direct you in plain sight
Tomorrow will be a blessing
Its understanding being the lesson
Your hope will be from Heaven’s help
Believe and don’t doubt
You are experiencing a temporary bout
Turnaround is on the way
Be strong and don’t astray
Time and moment
Straight and center
Open the door and let the Almighty enter
Golden sunrise like never before
Sunset with a heart embrace
This is your now
Tomorrow never thought possible
In the midst of praise
You are covered by the amaze

MR YOU KNOW WHO
preservationman Jun 2023
You think you are so tough
You act rough
Your mannerisms are enough
Everywhere is your turf
When it comes to the beach and swimming, you don’t even know how to surf
Your diamonds say bling
You are playing the big and bad thing
You think you are like a ****
Some see you as the Goodyear blimp
Contrary of your mind
Women no how to tame
You are just lame
You might act tough on the streets
Gangs are strong and they know how to bring you down to defeat
Your aim with a gun misses the target every time
You are gentle on the inside
Yet show exterior of power on the outside
Your demeanor tells a whole different story
You think you are in your glory
But wait
It will be shown that you are not tough at all
Power is what you think you have
You can’t control which you don’t own
You are acting full blown
The streets have your number
Be careful where you slumber
You are like an hour glass, your time is almost up
Mr. You know who
A total nobody

Emotions that overflow
Despair in uncertainty of the know
Fear beyond the depths
Movement having careful footsteps
But tears can also be for happiness
Joy within the moment
Nonetheless, tears are moving fountains
Sensations with reasons
It doesn’t come within seasons
Tears fall
Disturbances that’s all
Perhaps a vision of caution too stall
Yet tears that release the fear
However God is the preserver
Shed no more tears

Fire burns within me
No extinguisher can put my flames out
Transformation is moving about
I am in heat and sweat
Hunger for feeding my crave
I am going crazy and can’t behave
Oh I wish I could shave?
Hotter and hotter
I am no longer in control
I am a stalking breast
My clothes are torn
My eyes are an Evil Red
Dare not get in the bed
Full of desire
The moment is now and not later
I can no longer wait
There is no hesitate
I must embark and leave a trace
But don’t dare look at my face
I must keep up the pace
I am hungry to be touched
There is much
The heat is on
The Moon is in control
This night has made me bold
But don’t get close
My hunger could turn into being gross

POET IN A DRAMATIC PROSE
preservationman Jul 2022
Life was nothing
Day was like night
I wasn’t going to be polite
Blinded by darkness
The Winters were bitter
Coldness being my emotions
Cries with no tears
Desperation with every shout
What I thought was mine I could no longer control
Walls were closing in
The finale being my possible end
Alone and broke
No advise
A world that wasn’t nice
People who just don’t care
Trapped in my own dealings
Beaten down to my own selfishness
I was the only witness
Suddenly, I humbled down
I prayed
Never in my life did I pray before
There was a wonder made me explore
Through the many voices I thought I heard
What I was going through was struggles and I wanted them to end
No more hurt and no more suffering
Storms have been all part of my life
No recovery
Yet trapped within my slavery
You haven’t been in my shoes, because we don’t wear the same shoes
Tired of pain
I don’t want to hear excuses
I am reaching the point of no return
My ignorance overpowered believing
Now I am stuck on deceiving
That praying is starting to take effect
My Faith was assured in the Lord
Worry no more
From my head to my toes
The Almighty made it clear
He is always near
Nothing to fear
The record set straight
Understanding maneuvering through any fate
Praying is never too late
That is definitely something to appreciate.

THE STORY OF ADVENTURE
preservationman Nov 2018
We will be taken to placed that are far away
This will be our long awaited getaway
It will be any destination of choice
We are climbing to the very stop of the Rocky Mountains
Endurance being in order to expel strength in racing the top
Brief pauses being only a short stop
The peak at the top having a horizon view
It’s a matter of taking it all in that’s due
Since it was cold at the top of the Rocky Mountains
It’s a flight away
Let’s go and get a tan on the French Riviera
We just lay on the beach and soaking up that warm sunshine
Letting sweat turn our bodies into a golden tan
This is relaxation known to man
That was a nice two days
It was all sunrays
Now follow me this way
Let’s journey on the Pacific Ocean on a boat heading for Catalina Island
A rich man’s paradise
Casino’s looking for bets
Also some losing bets in regret
I am in the mood for glass bottom boats
What lurks below the deep blue?
All kinds of fish
But let’s put on a diving suit and see below
However, we must be careful and slow
Sharks lurk below
Seeing Sharks and Fish up close
Picture taking moment of the ocean below
But Although
Let’s get back too our boat before we become the menu special
It’s time to board our Private Jet and takeoff for Rio
Music and dancing
Wine and plenty romancing
From Night into Dawn
Hours after hours no time to yawn
Well it’s back where our journey began
Our adventure has come to an end.

Tornados have big impact
It is reality and a known fact
This story will amaze and surprise you
A wonder in the mind
But a true story being no sublime
Mother Nature can mutter a punch
It can happen all at once
It was a scheduled destination comprising of a Greyhound Bus
It was through the open highway of Kansas
A state known for any Mother Nature enterprise
A Tornado had approached while the Greyhound Bus was maneuvering
The bus was in the mince
There was no way for the Greyhound Bus to turn back
The Greyhound Bus being on Mack
Suddenly with a quickness, the Tornado picked up the Greyhound Bus, and the bus revolved around the funnel
However, Mother Nature added to the amazement
Immediately, the Greyhound Bus was gently put down on the ground on the highway where the passengers journey began, and the Greyhound bus held in tack
Now how about that?
The Passengers thought their lives would be over
But their was story became a discover
The Greyhound Bus Driver and Passengers lived to tell the impossible, and all they got was minor bruises and a few cuts
The Driver and the Passengers were their own witness
This surrounds Heaven’s glory
No more to say other than end of story.

It was the hour before Midnight the time for a Holiday Poet write
The Poet knew it had to be something that would excite
Burning the night thinking oil
Yet being intrigue with no foil
A little boy was sitting in his own house on Santa’s lap
Santa in smiles with a jolly look along with his Red and White including his cap
The Little boy’s parents were asleep for the night in their deep nap
Soon after, the little boy offered Santa a Cookie and Milk snack
During this time, Santa was narrating all about the North Pole
It was a wonder in the little boy taking whole
As the story would start, the Elves are the toy makers and the production
That was Santa’s introduction
The little boy responded, “Toys”
Oh what a joy
Of Course, Ms. Claus keeps Santa fattened up
Oh the Christmas winter snows and the shining stars
Every Star twinkles far
Yet they bring a remembrance of a miracle
Oh come all you happy Children
Marvel the wonder and Spectacular
Look to Christmas beyond
It was a little Babe that was born
Being the Light of the World that would be walking among
Santa’s fascination in narration caused the little boy to break into a yond
Now was now time for the little boy to sleep
Santa has a busy schedule to keep
So Santa carried the little boy to his bed
Lately called all his Reindeer
Right at that moment, Santa dashed away
Gifts were left under the little boy’s Tree
The Christmas momentum in preserver
The holiday season had truly arrived
Yet the night was Santa’s threshold in behold
Yonder the star and a Babe being holy a far
Season’s Greetings too all
Cheers and be Merry.

Biblical came to life
MOSES, DAVID, JACOB AND PETER stepped out of the book
Scriptures had their own narration
The words were God’s creation
Each Ambassador gave their account of Jesus involved
There were many struggles that needed to be resolved
Foes tried to attack
This is spiritual with a look back
Jesus who suffered going to the cross
The Chief Priest being the force
Jesus utilized prayer
He prayed everywhere
Yet Sin was a penalty
The Ten Commandments being the reality
But when walking with Christ, the blessings became ever so nice
Throughout biblical history, Jesus and many other people travelled from Ancient Cities after another
Jesus was trying to bring the Gospel to people’s ears
This is all his Flock preserver
There were wars that took place
Anarchy for power being bloodshed in trace
Jesus sits high, but observes below
However, Evil wants to deceive
His plan to keep salvation from being a retrieve
Now there was a lot of confusion along with illusion
The skies would often open into truth
Some hearts were hardened
While others welcomed the presence of conviction’
There were times the Earth moved in a strong shake
It was wonders in Heaven’s take
Jesus warned what was at stake
Today from back then, the world is still on Heaven’s watch
A radar beyond man’s understanding
“Redeem and you shall be saved”
But the world seems to have a problem with instilling love and behave
Spoken word through the voice of Heaven
Faith in believing
Pray world while you got the time
Jesus is pure and genuine
Jesus observes and wait
He is the Day and Night
He turns Dark into light
He is the behold and the marvelous sight
Tomorrow the world will understand
Longevity to wisdom
Become wise from the Kingdom
I know, but the world shall know
I am mighty through
I can lead you into how to pursue
Suddenly the open bible closed
Jesus explained, “Do as you are supposed”
Be obedient
I can make your face radiant
I will always be around
Seek me while l can yet be found
I will be back to Judge the Earth
I am the enriched birth
Listen for my coming in sound
No one knows the hour or minute
I will soon arrive.

It is now Christmas Eve
Buying a gift for someone to receive
The question is what to get?
Don’t let it come up to regret
Christmas goes beyond presents under the tree
It’s joy and blessings throughout the year being the way it is meant to be
However, if you need to buy a quick gift
Perhaps a Gift Card, catch my drift
You are struggling in a quick shopping mode
Show love in being kind
Let the gift come from your heart being genuine
Giving one’s self is better than any gift on Earth
Remember the baby Jesus being the Holiday birth
Mercy and Grace is what it is worth
Christmas atmosphere
It is real
It becomes the world’s reality reel

Facing true realities
Search within the understanding
Looking beyond to find truth
Deep yonder in thoughts
Caught up within the moment
Short pause
Exploring perspectives
Yet analyzing one’s own objectives
Figures forming equations
It’s knowledge surfacing in education
Rhetoric being the Logic
Physics odds

Perhaps nothing more than an illusion
But there might be some confusion
Think until resolved
But all analytical activity involved

So you are in the know

Several stars in the night
They were shining bright
A child made a wish
He waved to them a kiss
Held several dreams
Embarking like moving streams
The child wished for a Toy Robot of his own
Too a parent might find that a bit blown
But that is what the child’s dream being shown
There were many other wishes
Yet too many to mention here
The child even prayed to the stars in making his wish happen
The Toy Robot was always his number one goal
The child asked his parents for the Toy Robot, but his parent felt it was too expensive
Be careful what you wish for as you might just get it
There was a knock at the door
The parents said “We are not expecting any company”
When the male child opened the door, it was a toy robot at the front door in a box
It was definitely a surprise, and the parents had no idea who delivered the toy robot
It is still a mystery even today
The male child didn’t care because he was given what he wished for in the stars
Was it the stars or just a coincidence?
It happened like in an instance
No one is saying or don’t really know
In any event, it just goes to show
Dreams can sometimes turn into reality
The toy robot’s name was “Perfecto”
A happy child
Perhaps one day the stars will give us an answer on how that toy robot actually materialized
For now, let the child think the stars made his dream possible
Perfecto on

INSTINCT ATTACK

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

That tail is for sure
Our Modern Day, Robin Hood straight from Washington, DC White House from the poor giving to the rich
There no enchanted forest, but a person who thinks he is a king of the United States
Robin Hood gave to the poor
Robin Hood reversed in some form and fashion to take away
Negativity all around
Poor neglected and the rich are found
The White House Robin Hood wants the poor to “Don’t have”
The Rich to continue to have and prosper over the poor
It’s amazing how the tale Robin Hood showed appreciation for mankind and being genuine
Today’s Robin Hood being Self-Centered, and shows no concern for humanity being the poor
The wonder of a story tale back then with no comparison today if you want to say the name Robin Hood
Amazing how Robin Hood before to would you believe it today.

Gangs don’t even look up to you nor have respect
They think pursue
You don’t even lead to follow through
There’s no promise
You don’t know how to be honest
You are not even modest
Gangs are to steal no matter who they are
You don’t have what it takes to go far
You walk around like you are a Czar
Your own Mother you ignore
Yet she adores
You nothing more than a punk
Low Scale
Lack understanding
No destination with an arrival
Acting a hero marvel
Self-Centered
No pity within any city
Your image all fake
No give or take
Mr. Big Stuff, a little man
No demand
One day, you will be non-existent
Mr. Big Stuff no more
You get no encore
That is for sure

DEATH SWITCH
preservationman Nov 2019
Death knocked at the door
I chose to ignore
I said not
My soul simply said not yet
You can’t get
There’s much more living to do
An understanding thought through
Heaven put Death on hold
That’s a wonder of Faith of behold
So the Death Angel had to walk away
But one day
The Death Angel will come again
But that will be a thought of when
Everything now is ok
But Death will come a time
That moment shall be mine
However, I am now under grace
One day it will be Heaven face to face.

DISTANCE
preservationman Jun 2023
Finding one’s way
What seems loss is always found
Far
Keep walking and searching
Don’t tire
Don’t let time expire
Distance is how you see it
Knowing how you got there
Approach is your maneuver
Embrace is the taste of understanding
Struggle in sustaining
Journeys are never close
You shall find
Just believe and hope will accompany you
By and By
Time after time
Your footsteps in your own discoveries
Beath path
Learning values
Disciplines and courage
The sun will guide
The moon will encourage
Your feet will be sore
But don’t stop now
You are almost there
Press on
Distance is your gateway being your only advancement
Your tomorrow that was came early today
You thought you would never arrive
You survived beyond your own expectations
What is distance without understanding?
Determination declared
Distance to, but always reflect from

BUSES CROSSROADS
preservationman Oct 2020
Distance no option
Destination to capture
Image in a picture
Wheels maneuvering the roads
Welcome aboard and behold
Routes through various highways
It all started during the Stagecoach days
Rocky roads then to highways now
Drivers educated in being engineering wise
Total endurance in energize
Safety of importance is the otherwise
The bus design that captures the mind
The seating arrangement all combined
It’s the comfort the minute you recline back
The specifications all add up to the fact
Restful night sleep
But try not to snooze deep
That request is hard to keep
The bus motor’s zoom
They sound like a beginning musical tune
The engine’s functioning on pitch
The Driver in control at the switch
Nonetheless, Grassroots with buses on thought
I have many scale buses that I brought
But now buses start your engines
Journey into travel
The start being noble
Let your sunrise fill the day into sundown
Buses in my soul can be found

FLIGHT OF TOMORROW
Let my wings soar
New Frontier destiny
Let the clouds cleanse within their mist
Journey on wings
Born to fly
Into the Friendly skies
Bad weather otherwise
Surrounding the high mountains
Pausing for a brief stop
King of the valley’s
The land below
Harmony among
Beauty of excellence
Yonder miles
Singing a soaring bird song, “Where the wind blows, I will follow”.
preservationman Jan 2023
Life’s promises
A sense of purpose
What has been achieved
Efforts that led being accomplished
Ups and Down’s
Committed to live
Desired to strive
Assurance of the heart
Birth of determination
Freedom within rejuvenation
Refreshing morning winter wind
Love nurturing like a warm sun
Welcomed in living
Possibilities within
One voice that knows and eyes that show
Seeing beyond the clouds and the shores
Imaging dreams as reality
Knowing what how one is supposed to live
Remembering all the advice that made encouragement possible
Stepping out on Faith in courage
Moment in time to think
A time to wonder
Looking yonder
Moment of thought
Prepared to live and excel

SUMMER HEAT
preservationman Jul 2023
Hot and humidity running all through me
Urges, strong urges
Leverage to the highest
The need for love
Temperature rise
Desired romance
The fire burning in ignite
The thought of the night
Romance running through my mind
The ***** a level up
Interlude surging
Just let go
The need to take it slow
Sheets being the decree
Love everlasting is all I see
The desire and fire
Sweat pouring down my body
Temperature keeps rising
Definitely higher than any summer heat
It’s not a relist but follow
The gears have shifted
A ready and let go
Relieved

A DREAM BEING ONLY A VISION OF WHAT COULD COME
IT MAKES SENSE TO DREAM
TOO THINK ON THE POSSIBILITIES THAT COULD REALLY COME TO LIFE
NOW SHOOTING YOURSELF OUT OF A CANNON MIGHT SOUND BEYOND THE CIRCUS TENT
IT COULD VERY WELL BE PAST TENSE
FLYING IN A SPACESHIP CERTAINLY NOT THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE FROM STAR TREK
THE WHOLE IDEA IS SPACE EXPLORATION
ODYSSEY, A DREAMS FRONTIER
IT’S BEYOND THE LIMITS OF ONE’S IMAGINATION
A STAR IS BORN
YOU LIGHT UP AND SET THE STAGE
APPLAUSE ADMIRING YOUR TALENT AMAZE
BUT THAT COULD BE ENCOURAGING PRAISE
A DREAM AT A MOMENTS NOTICE
YOU BEHIND THE DREAM
THE FOCUS OF YOU PERFORMING WHAT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED FOR YOU IN THE DREAM
YOUR MOMENT TO SHINE
NOW I DIDN’T SAY GET DRUNK WHILE DRINKING WINE
TO DREAM IS TO EXPLORE AND YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS IS YOUR OPEN DOOR
IT’S THE PORTAL OF EXCITEMENT
BUT FOR YOU BEING A COMMITMENT.

AMONG THE TWILIGHT STARS
preservationman Aug 2021
Imagine being among the sky stars
Seeing the Little and Big Dippers
Observing the Earth
Catching every from below
Twinkle here and there
Being high in the sky
A star bright
That lights up the darkness at the night
What a delight
One wish at a time
The skies can sometimes not be so kind
Understanding comes out
It's just encouragement moving about
A since of joy
Capturing a child within the girl and boy
All happens being amongst the stars.
preservationman Oct 2022
Heavenly One
Can never be out done
Brings amaze
Purpose with amaze
Voice of Thunder
Guidance in through understanding
Falling Rain
Soul purification
Man wants to take away
One must take hold
The bible says read and abide in his goodness told
Mercy and Grace
This is where salvation forms the trace
Say Amen
I say Hallelujah
My life from uncertainty
My spirit to everlasting
The Lord of my life
Guided by his advice
No one knows what tomorrow holds
Yesterday was only a preparation
God say it, but you must believe it
The truth in spirit
Honor in merit
God is the only all
I stand for him with no stall
Now you know
Don’t ever let go
Just feel the spiritual flow
Don’t ever let go

Love describable in words

Roses are red and it is about you

ANGEL IN THE HOUSE
preservationman Nov 2024
A certain spiritual atmosphere
An Old Man who had loss his Wife to an illness
He felt alone
The Old Man noticed his thoughts became to change from negative to positive
He didn’t understand why, but a Guardian Angel knew
It was an Angel sent from Heaven
The Angel appeared in the flesh to the Old Man
He told the Old Man, Heaven has been observing you, and your heart is crushed since your dear wife died
Your Wife is in good hands patiently waiting one day for your arrival
The Angel also stated, “There’s more on your mind beyond your Wife’s departure”
The Old Man responded, “I always feel perplexed and not relaxed”
I am a Heavenly Angel, so I am going to show you how to overcome your negative thoughts and conquer
The Old Man said I really miss and loved my Wife
The Angel said that love will always be there in your heart
Now let me show you how to conquer what’s holding you down
First, Don’t Doubt, always believe, and remember the Lord’s promise, I will always be there
Now that alone is assurance
Like a surge feeling like a bolt with renewed strength beyond compare
Even though I am an Angel, the Lord has been here also all along, and I was the messenger to deliver from Heaven directly to you
You are never alone, when you think you standing as one, the Lord becomes your multitude in victory
Things may seem mysterious, but Heaven opens the door to understanding a tomorrow worth believing
The Old Man felt comfort and a calmness took over
The Angel told the Old Man don't  be discouraged pray and look to the skies above”
With that, the Angel took flight and disappeared.

PLAY BALL
Baseball Legend, Joe Black
Pitcher for the BROOKLYN DODGERS
Played on the team with Jackie Robinson
In fact, Mr. Black and Mr. Robinson were room mates
Mr. Black was also a former Corporate VP at Greyhound Bus Lines
He worked at the former Corporate Headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona
That is where I met him, and he became my Mentor and Hero
Mr. Black had given me two books of Afro-American Achievers
The book appropriately titled, “THEY ACHIEVED SO CAN YOU”
My Mentor was an Achiever being a mover and Shaker
Foundation established
As a Teenager back then was fascination.

I was surrounded by encouragement being blessed in getting wisdom from an all-time great
Mr. Black helped me realize in my own possibilities and to focus on accomplishing my very own
It consisted of believing in myself and enforced purpose
During the Teenage years, you don’t think on establishing, but failure and doubt runs through the mind
Through experience cutting through the hard knocks is where I was establishing myself
However, I often wondered, but thought in the principles given by Mr. Joe Black
I was the Achiever within.

Mr. Black’s words were my floor plan having an agenda
He saw my capabilities with assurance and no blockade
I am reflecting back on history quality fact in being guided in doing and knowing
Playball for me is playing the game and staying in the game in making strides
in what would become victory
Playball to me means having courage and stand out in being determined
There’s no can’t nor won’t, but shouts of encouragement in fulfill
Mr. Joe Black is deceased and died when he was in his 70’s, but his motto lives within me being his legacy
I have my own legacy in follow what I did, and you can too
Every try is an effort and believing in knowing you can
Thank You Mr. Joe Black for being my Mentor and showing my purpose in life in assurance of my own breakthroughs
