ROMANTICALLY POET
preservationman Feb 2024
Love describable in words
Echoes through the sentences
Roses are red and it is about you
The sky is blue and we have love to pursue
Endless and enduring love
Together for all times
A Champagne raise and kisses
Candy for my sweetness
My cherished love for you in glister
Enter in as the door is unlocked
Every embrace is for our love to flourish
I am the Poet across the room
You could be my write
Every hand hold I will know you are my true love
The Stars twinkle romance with our eyes of fascination
Every smile on our faces is joy and blessings
Every candle lit the goodness of us
It’s the passion being love throughout
You are my honest and I am your promise
Together our love is hot and ready to boil
We stand together as one with romantic always on our minds
My Sunshine and I am the blue skies
Crystal clear, just come closer near
Enchanted our story tail
I love you more than ever
A Poet’s romantic ways
Love will continue every day
Year in and never out
Love you Baby

Showers of Justice pour within the White House
Evil within lurks
The President takes it as a perk
Obstruction is the White House forming construction
It’s answers needed in the Russia probe
It’s the fake media being the blame in suppose
Testimonies seemingly with some facts left out
The Republicans are responding with their own shout
Yet the Democrats are looked upon like they don’t know what they are talking about
The President can’t even see his way out
It’s blame at every name
His Presidency he wants to remain
However Justice is getting close
The White House Administration can’t take it so they boast
The world looks on and is amazed
This is another Watergate phrase
It’s food for understanding being the craze
Everyone expresses an opinion
But no one illustrates the actual conclusion
Yet it is truth that is the fact
The Legal Counsel is seeing to that
However, the White House is right in the smack
The Legal Counsel is actually staying on track
It’s as if shades have been put over the White House in not wanting the public to see
But Justice is staying strong and the focus in where it belongs
The moment of truth will soon arrive
It could very well be at five
The President thinks otherwise
But no one is going for his jive
White House just face it
You have met your match
You dropped the ball because you didn’t catch
This is a lesson being fetch
Oh yes Justice crossing the T in thee
The end result, we must sit back and wait and see.

ARISE ARISE
preservationman Aug 2021
I have come so far
I was getting further and further away
I asked the Lord to help me on this day
My life needs salvation in every way
A voice said, “Now Come Home”
I knew than I wasn’t standing alone
Suddenly Joy and Praise came my way
A shout echoed, I will never go astray
The Devil blocks what he doesn’t want you to understand
He encourages anyone to his caravan
The Lord opens to door to a blessed extension
It becomes a total Christian lesson
Truth in the Holy Spirit
Rejoice as it is embraced in merit
Time after time
I understood more and more
I knew there is much to Christianity I needed to explore
I shouted Mercy and Glory
But that is only half of my story
My Biblical eye was on search
I was told to go to a place of foundational worship
My mind was open and soul fulfilled
For years I was always misled
The Holy Spirit came and I was fed
So my journey was long
But you are probably asking, “What took so long?”
Plain and simple, I didn’t think I belong
My destination reached precise
I am given daily God’s advice
Tomorrow seemed like yesterday
It was a gesture
It became a promise
The Lord took me in, and encouraged me in spreading God’s word out
Now you know the whole story in how God moved within my life
Salvation is a blessing
I have no more guessing
I extend salvation to you and all it takes is praying in the asking

THE SAND’S SUN BEAT
preservationman Sep 2023
I walk the desert alone
High dense sun
I am the only among
Struggling, but determined
Maneuvering is a hard able
Scrawling on the desert sand
A rush of a desert wind storm
Blowing and swirling
Thirst rushes to my mind
My eyes visualize an oasis
But no quench only imagery found
Sweat pours over my body like a running fountain
Birds circle overhead waiting until I die to feed on my flesh and bones
Drastically trying to survive, but darkness is slowly closing in
Hours seem like days
My moments full of haze
Tears don’t even come down
I don’t know where I will find myself
Man to Sun, let my soul ever be humble, and solitude prevail
I can make it no more
Within the sand I soar.

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.

MOON OVER PARIS
preservationman Apr 2021
Love enchanted
The heart’s divined
Hand in hand
Love showing genuine
A full moon full of chemistry
The idea of Paris having no mystery
Fashion being top notch
Appeal having style
Love involved while
A storybook love
Personal chapters of words endure
Ultimate into absolute
Love dearest
It is held the nearest
As French describe love, “l’amour”
Enough said

Up and down the block
It’s a never stop
The ride that adds the city never sleeps
Your own soulful to keep
Seeing the MTA bus is neat
It’s like being a treat
The subway can’t be left out
Vintage time then I am talking about
NYC Transportation history
Behind is a lot of mystery
The ride on the LIRR
A railroad that goes far
You don’t really need your car
Destination could be NYC Midtown or East side
The journey of LIRR and Metro North will provide
Some from Metro North Grand Central and LIRR Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island points
Places to go
Feel the traffic commuting traveling flow
Journey through by your own time
What could be so find?
Rides back then that continue now
All I can says is Oh Wow.

Congressmen John Lewis, remembrance from his soul
The torch shines
A reflection of Congressmen John Lewis walks in the spirit
My Brothers and my Sisters
He achieved for all minority races
It wasn’t about being Black, White, Green nor purple
It was the standard of Freedom for all
His stance was on the fight to make Freedom and Voting right
Beaten and tore full of scars
But that didn’t stop Congressmen John Lewis for being determined to go far
His journey carried him across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama
While others wondered and showed fear
He knew God was always near
He would say today, “Don’t praise me, but stand with me”
Mobilize and visualize seeing the prize
Your surprise will become a realize
A page from Former President Barack Obama, “Yes we can and Shall”
The shall being assurance
Congressmen John Lewis influence
Continued efforts in endurance
Stand up for the fight
God has given you the might
Be inspired my Brothers and Sisters
Victory sounds like a long way
But that is ok
The mission is too come together as a multitude of voices
You got the agenda, and it is the blueprint to succeed
But let your movement in forward proceed
We will chant these very words, “Achieved at Last Achieved at Last
It will be a long time coming
But we must be consistence and not be resistant
We can achieve together
Stand Up and be associated
Victory will be our story
Our efforts will form appreciated
Once again, be encouraged my Brothers and Sisters
Fight until won
Never surrender and be outdone
It’s a new day, tomorrow even better
Fight, be precise and let your voice rang out
Be ready, steady and assemble
It is just that simple
Achieve, Accomplish and Excel
Victory will come, but just wait until.

Don’t aim for your cash
Events that took place while you were sleep
It was while you were sleeping deep
Only your soul to keep
The budget that is out of control
The virus shutdowns that still take hold
The clouds that increase
No sun so no feast
So when will this virus decrease?
No one truly has an answer
Not even the star of TV Bewitched named Samantha
It’s wait after until when
Again, no one knows when this virus will end
Yet other states have their own quest
But the east coast could careless
The East is not convinced
So the shutdown will continue
Right now our lives are withdrew
So that’s all the news

DEAR WORLD
preservationman Apr 2021
It’s been a while since we talked
The last time was a reject
No matter what the discussion it had no effect
I even used compromise
Your response was absolute surprise
We just couldn’t see eye to eye
I thought what must I do to get your attention
But it came to hesitation
Yet there still wasn’t any communication
I was explaining everlasting within your soul
Showed you miracles in behold
Illustrated a story that was never told
I even tried to be bold
The reality came to no respect
Again it was reject
I offered peace
But your emotions you wouldn’t release
In fact it was full of commotion
It felt like a wavy stormy ocean
Time after time I wanted to talk
You took it as a stalk
I ant you to live a better life
I wanted to offer some advice
You won’t make it alone
You see my illustrations daily being shown
In fact, full blown
But you put me down
You are getting nowhere bound
You only have one life and one chance
I am the advance
Talk to me while you can
Your days are numbered and waiting for when
So world you have been contacted
The acknowledgement waits for you
No time to think through
You know what you need to do
Just pursue

There was once a house
It was shared prior with a mouse
The house nestled in the hills of Vermont
It was in the town of Maple Square
It brings the maple syrup of surprise
But what makes the Maple Square house so unique, it brings every year Christmas alive to all passer drives
It strived back in its day, but not sits alone forgotten
However, the house will always be remembered
I recalled seeing a Fireplace in the living room
The room was fitting for a Wedding for a Bride and Groom
Back in the house’s day, there would be Christmas Caroler’s would sing outside the house and move to other houses
Vermont would have the Christmas Snow falling, but it was the warmth from the Fireplace
The Christmas tree in the house would stand tall fully decorated
But there were other Christmas trees decorated outside surrounding the house
The thought would be joy and wishing on the stars
Christmas was definitely in the air in Vermont where dwellers throughout Maple Square community would bring Love and Joy in coming together
Tranquil being a oneness song
Even if you didn’t live in Maple Square, one felt they belonged
Everyone was happy in Maple Square, Vermont
It was Joy and Prosperity to the world
Holidays of holidays being a swirl
Blessings full of surprises
Tomorrow of sunrises

One step at a time
But it takes Faith being genuine
Steps leading up to Heaven
But is your Salvation odd or even
Your soul must be in place
Are you ready to meet God face to face?
But your praise must keep up being at the precise pace
Your praying should be continuous like you are being in a race
Your life from the beginning had a trace
But through a spiritual life your Sins will be erased
So one step up to many
It’s nothing uncanny
The up hill climb to Heaven being divine

Moments of emphasizing

Move astray
Breakable, but can be fixed
Obvious with careful observation

Roundabouts

Deadly tongue poison expelling
Dare to say
A trap to step that way
Reaction before thinking

March not a story of the Month of March and not for Military Soldiers
But all Men, Woman and Children, March my Civil Rights Soldiers
It’s surrounds the Civil Rights Movement
The call for Freedom and Understanding
The man behind the mission, Dr. Martin Luther King
A strong voice echoed out, “We shall overcome
The struggle centered on Race
The aftermath in bringing all races together in unity
Time was and even now an essence
Hatred among foes
At times it might going face to face
Determination and commitment can and should never erase
Dedication at every bound
Name calling having negative vibes in sounds
Push on my Brothers and Sisters
No time to stop but keep the movement going
The Thunder roared, and lightning flashed
We are the people that will get to the Promised Land
It is hope, Freedom, Honor and Dignity
Dr. Martin Luther King saw the dream in advance
He saw opportunity in chance
The movement became mainstream
The energy with self-esteem added to the steam
Civil Rights had to go worldwide like an enterprise
The results in helping the world to realize
Race wasn’t a wrong, but it was where coming together belonged
Foes were again, but the fact being, we all deserved to be among
It didn’t matter of creed and nationality
Race coming together as one was going to be a reality
The hills seems high to climb
But the struggle was going to be victory at the top
But don’t tire nor stop
So this day, we honor the Mighty, Dr. Martin Luther king
Remembering his legacy
But the work is not complete
There is ******* of deceit
The sunrise has risen, but it is not a new day
It’s a day within all of us to continue in the Civil Rights fight
My Brothers and Sisters, please don’t take that light
Push for Justice with all your might
Change the struggle as we are still in a plight
The work won’t be complete until all Races as one body and soul
Behold, Heaven has and will continue to show us the way
We are the multitudes and God is our prize
But we must have understanding being realize
Yet, we must continue to be energized
Don’t tire
Encourage being inspire
We can’t let the Hour Glass expire
March on to victory
Let it be for glory
Our true leader from the start being Dr. Martin Luther King’s story
Eyes on Washington and the world
Recognize
Stand up and continue to stand up, march with a message
We will win this matter of Race Separation
Now that was Dr. Martin Luther King’s preparation

Observation of buses passing by
Winding wheels
How the bus turns around curves

Words straight out thought
Poets who you don’t know

Heart of Gold and our minds being bold
It’s our stories told
Writing on our own frontline
As a Poet, I hope you appreciate our movement

We wouldn’t be Poets without the encouragement from others
I think back on this motto, “NOTHING TO DO BUT DO IT”

You spoke
But told a lie
You couldn’t keep your mouth shut
The words were always but
You couldn’t look into eye to eye
There was always a why
Your tongue gave you away
You do this everyday
You speak, but no truth
This is since your youth
What one does is
Your mouth is out of control
You need to know in how to take hold
Straight out twisted
Just like noodles
Many directions having no destinations of logic
No specific understanding

Well your efforts became show and tell

That quote says it all
But defeat may sound like a fall
However, think on this, “A baby learns to walk, but often falls”
When you watch a baby, they don’t up, they just keep trying
The idea of the concept is learning and experimenting until established perfection
In other words, you test the waters in what works best
But you don’t think less
True, you aim for the prize
But there is a realize
What if you don’t win a prize or lose with no recognition?
You should just say, “You were determined, and it was an effort in achieve”

You have nothing to be uninspired about as you truly showed effort ship
That alone should be your encouragement
Perhaps you feel embarrassed that you loss
Throw loss into toss
It’s about win or lose, but it was the preparation leading to achievement in effort on your part
Look where we have arrived again, “Effort”
Effort the steps you stood in being movement
Your desired performance and illustration in turning determination valor
Hours spend being commodity risen
So there is a reason to be proud whether you won or loss
Your efforts was the time allowed
You have appreciation within
It doesn’t matter if defeat came at the end
Complexity must be tough in making you prepared for the task

It’s often been said, “Be in it too win it”
But my version is, “Prepare for it in order to achieve it”
No theory or concept behind that is only straight forward being you
As a matter of fact, when you see an extremely High Mountain, your first thought is how high
You then discover for yourself just how high that Mountain is by climbing it and determining for yourself
It’s Mind over matter
So aim with effort in try
If you lose don’t cry
It’s only a moment to pause
Your moment will come
Good things come to those who wait
That is something you should appreciate
Delete in your head, “hesitate”
The key word is just illustrate
Be your own challenger with no competition in making you stronger beyond defeat.
preservationman Mar 2019
People have a way in causing misunderstanding
But sometimes it can be misleading
The misunderstanding becomes a lack of understanding from within
I won’t say you are like anybody else
People must think and analyze thought
Words that are not misleading
Interpretation surrounding only the obvious in what was truly said and meant
It’s not an instead
But shouldn’t cause an commotion
Yet keep thoughts in the right motion
So what does that mean?
Simply put, “Think before you speak”
Don’t let it go into defeat and your friend’s retreat
This is what breaks friendship because of misunderstanding
Resolve by being involved
So keep misunderstanding in line,  and make sure words are exactly in what you mean
Be prepared to explain
Let true understanding always remain.

Sometime the sea makes you feel at ease
Then there are other times, sea please
The seasick feeling
The body that becomes unwilling
Over the waves
Now behave
Look below
A boat moving slow
Sea of wonder
A Lighthouse and shore yonder
Some say the seas are a friend
The question would be when?
Sea tail
Maybe the time I was drinking Ale
Breezes just confusing the senses
Ships seeing ships
Ever now and then a dip
A captain saying, “Sea legs tip”
Nonetheless, seas into miles of ocean
Emotions forming motion
Seas surrounded
Cruising over mighty waves
Maneuvering with the wind
Seas that always can
Sea guidelines when
Cruising without sinking
Chicken little thinking
Not a slogan nor advertisement
Fair exchange
Commuters listen and wonder
Poetry words coming to life
The ride with readings from actual Poets
Poetry of all kinds sharing beyond compare
Moment in write of Poetry time
Through traffic of rush hour
It becomes the assemble
Poetry readings commuter sit
Inspiring and uplifting fit
Words that never quit
Discerning gift
Direct craft
Something never done before
Words after words no can ignore
Unique and Genuine
Words that are kind
Transit Bus Poetry tone
A Poets doing their thing in letting it be known.

Onward
Over the waves
Anchor away
Seas in guiding
Water quench
Swimming fun
The seas never out done
Breezes from everywhere
Living life without any worries
Dazzle of the mind
Intrigue thought
Image reflections
Mysterious
Curious
Freedom to cruise
Journey into enthused
Sea bright
Seas under the sun light
To bathe or not to bathe
Observations seen into the horizon
Lighthouses from the shores
Sea Sea Sea
Together you and me
Just miles to see
Sea Brother
Like no other

POETRY MINISTRY

A World searching
Confused by the Devil
One that is Evil
Heaven above high
Earth watcher being Thy
Thy is the reason to pray
Faith behind the relay
Living each and every day
Spiritual blending
Mercy and Grace bonding
Blessings to look upon
Longevity beyond
Thy who here’s prayer
One who is never alone
The test of time
Thy who is genuine

Weather any storm

Until being Thys will
Be still
Peaceful and humble
Thy is able
Wonder being Heaven’s Marvelous
It’s all obvious
Truth in trust
It involves all of us

HEAVEN ECHOES OUT
preservationman Jan 2021
I see you have no answer
But you have a disease called Cancer
The Angels have descended
The Lord delivers his word to you personally
God’s offers encouragement to help you overcome
What feels like Despair, it is Faith beyond Compare?
You are the chosen one
Never feel defeated thinking you are done
God has work for you
You will overcome where Doctor’s say won’t
You will be blessed while the Devil says can’t
You Cancer won’t spread nor continue to advance
God says he is the creator from beginning to end
That is because it is the Holy Spirit that can
The healing has already begun
Your testimony will be standing among
But pray and don’t worry
You have your own story
Grace will be your glory
People will be inspired by your testimony alone
It will be my miracles that will be full blown
Your recovery will be Doctor’s wonder
But all they have to do is look to Heaven’s yonder
Now is the time to honor and lift up your praise
God is today, tomorrow and everlasting
Pray to the most high
Heaven rejoices and it is because of thy

WHAT OCCURRED?
preservationman Nov 2019
What occurred?
Did you see what happened?
There were no witnesses around
The Murderer can’t be found
Yes, there was a ******
A young boy shot through the head
The murderer quickly fled the sight instead
There doesn’t seem to be a motive
Yet it was a driven desire
One shot by a gun in fire
Meaningless Death never understood
How can someone be heartless and act on could?
Poor young boy
He brought his Mother such joy
The young boy had a promising future
Now it is nothing more than a Funeral with an image picture
Occurrence after occurrence
Uncertainty with no assurance
Strength requiring endurance
Yes, a ****** occurred
But when will it all End?

IF I WAS SHAKESPEARE
preservationman Oct 2023
What would be said?
Closer than
Seems far
Complexity cut out
Love can inspire
Romance can act as an angry thorn
Never easy
Theory within
Understanding on doubt
Endless fog running through the mind
Finding one’s way through direction
Endless decisions, but are they right?
Dreams and thoughts
The pain of hate
Wounds of the heart
Tormented from the past
Fire surrenders to my soul
But I don’t burn
Hot with no cold solution
Stuck on assumptions of conclusions
Somewhere inspiration has found me
I live and conquered
I stand and confident
A flame is my guiding light
I shine
Insight
My life will ever be bright
I sleep
Good Night

High rise above
Flightless, but no Dove
A Young Man knocked on a Female Senior’s door
He wanted to make sure she had a balcony for sure
The Young Man pushed the senior out of the way, but only after the senior said “Yes”, he headed for her balcony to explore
He leaped to his Death from the 12th Floor
The Young Man died on impact
Reasons unknown
An investigation will have to be shown
This could be called “Valentine Leap”
His soul is wandering in who will keep
The arrow that pierced that was fierce
Love no longer on the line
Possible love rejection just might be the indication
But the Young Man holds the key
What could the motive be?
Death being the actual
The Young Man would be the factual
Death took its toll
The accords, no one knows for sure
This situation is nothing to ignore
What do any witnesses know?
Suicide was on the line, but whatever the circumstance it wasn’t fine.

WHEELCHAIR HIGHWAY
preservationman Sep 2023
Wheelchair rush
Walking legs of others, please hush
Journey into continued movement
No hold back
Wheelchair staying on track
Highway On Ramp
Wheelchair jam
Wheelchairs with their own speed limit
They permit
Wheels on schedule
Moving module
Wheelchairs not a stop
Pedestrians in don’t like or not
Wheelchairs always on the go
A rush and sometimes slow
People in wheelchairs are the ones that know
Wheelchairs are people movers

STAGED
preservationman Feb 2021
You tried to fool
You used deceive being your tool
But I saw through you
It wasn’t hard
You put me on guard
Now I must disregard
I must depart
I am thinking smart
You thought you were talking to a ******
But you fooled your own self
You personality has no understanding
Your facts weren’t even sustaining
So your words were totally staged
But you wanted the response to come to rage
So I saw caution, and simply acted my age

VALENTINE ON PARADE
preservationman Feb 2021
Smooth talk
Smooch kiss
Romance of silk
Music within the hearts of tone
The idea of love about to be full blown
No need for candy sweets
Being together is our tweets of delight
Eating by Candle Light
Eye glazing into one another
Our love is cherished like no other
Our love our own story
We are Valentine in our glory
Our hands holding together
Love is truly in the air
Our love is sustaining in care
Elegance of the rose
Embracing lovers suppose
The fragrance that takes our love into essence
We were descended together
Click clack of our Wine Glasses
Every sip from the heart of devoted love
Our love spreads through the skies like flying Doves
Embrace me now into continuous
So on this Valentine’s Day
I blow kisses heading your way
We have our own enchanted love
You are my Queen and I am your king
It’s sparkle of elegance
Love you more and more
Our kisses are the ever after
Valentine’s Day is every day being our daily chapter

CHARLIE CHAN TRUMP
preservationman Aug 2023
Sounding like a sketch
One big stretch
Laughter with every move
Always trying to prove
Crash landing in not smooth
Yet laughter all the way
There is always a getaway
Every movement with no pause
Head turn with a left and right
A look of fright
Cornered in a plight
Distinction of pure delight
Every day and night
Words of wonder
Hope that comes yonder
What will be next?
Pie in the face
Laughter with every trace
Given the fence
By defense
Laughter until finally finished
Character’s own in distinguished

The beauty of expression
Confession
Transformation of words from one body
Steady as it goes
Descending and surfacing
Into the unknown
Understanding buried treasures of words deep
Precious and elite
Exploration
Discoveries
Beyond imaginations
History for appreciation
Letters into words
Echoing voices waiting to be heard
Deeper and Deeper into thought of the open mind
The depths of learning
The thirst rewarding
The smell of the sea using words fulfilling
Aqua City where words originated
Individual hearts where words once got their start
Never a depart
Cruising the mind about
Destination arriving at determination
Water Color Finish
Distinguished
Formation
Attention
Words spread out for miles
Aqua Style
Writing even now
