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

MILES ABOVE VOICE
preservationman Jul 2024
You left me alone
Your spirit descended and disappeared
As I remember, your Death came quick
I observed
I immediately felt alone
There was no longer your presence
Standing being the only image
Suddenly you spoke in a distance whisper, “Never far always Near”
Those words encouraged me, and you told me not to worry
Don’t feel sorry
You said my cries have no despair
I have always been fair
You see I am doing just fine
Sometimes I feel loss
Having no place in this world
Your soulful words, “I am where the Lord wants me to be”
Your distance far
I wish you were still here
The joy and friendship
Once upon a time
A person who was so kind
One day, we will meet again
A reacquaint that will never end
Remember you always
Your voice close to my heart
Your words my daily start
Soulful true
You are my daily life to always pursue.

What would it take to say Hello?
Why do people make other people feel shallow?
It involves having respect
Imagine the gratification in effect
It is not a test
It’s just observation telling true confess
That statement above says it best
People often stare
In their mind it is their characteristic in they don’t care
But it puts people in a situation of caution in beware
Looks can ****
Expressions of warning of instill
Somewhere the world loss distinction
Out the door went appreciation
There is no longer a sensation
It goes beyond the Pandemic
Yet nothing Academic
People Flow
It could very well be somebody you know
Don’t let people change who you are
Enriched personality in inspiration is what goes far.

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

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

Words spread out for miles

IF I WAS A BUS
preservationman Jan 2023
I would definitely be vintage
Structure of a bus never seen
Wheels that would be superb
Conditioned Engine
That works
Built to withstand all kinds of weather
Headlights that flashed showing clever
Long lasting forever
Seats that would recline with passenger feet raising for relaxation like no other
No malfunctions
Really, but couldn’t promise
Ok, maybe I am over emphasizing
Crystal clear winds bringing passenger scenery up close and personal
Devices to keep the Motor Coach Operator awake and alert
Remember, I am a one of kind bus that no one has seen
A crash is not an option, but vintage is only a reminder
I would be a bus that no one will ever forget
However, that goes without saying
What kind of bus you ask that I would be?
That is a secret
I will never tell
Don’t bother to find out the bus manufacturer
He is on a locked down campaign
You talk your fired
The only clue I will state, I would be a Highway Motor Coach into the open freeway
That’s my bus telling moment.

TWO LANES
preservationman Jun 2019
There’s more to the left and right than just pass
It’s a highway where everything accelerates fast
But on a highway in Tennessee, A Female Trucker and Male Hound Driver are going to connect
It was a Rest Stop at Lookout Way
There was a small Bar and a Medium sized Café
It was at this café where Mary, the Trucker and John, the Greyhound Driver met
It didn’t start well at the start in a love affair
In fact, it was more in beware
When Mary laid eyes on John, she thought John felt he was all that working for Greyhound, and John eyed Mary, he immediately felt in love that very moment
But mine you, this was only while John glanced at Mary and hadn’t even talked
Do you think Mary felt the term “Stalked?”
But Mary and John often saw each other on the road, and the whole idea of love really didn’t take hold
But there was love in the Hound Driver’s heart
That was John’s true start
Yet with Mary, she didn’t feel any spark
But there was love within John
So at the Café this time, Mary and John actually spoke
No, it’s not a joke
They were talking to each other introducing themselves and who they were about
The thought of love, well that was something that had to be worked out
As they both were on the highway, Mary blew the Truck Horn, and John, the Hound Driver flashed his headlights
Well, oh what a night
Love in plain sight
The Female Trucker Driver and Male Hound Driver was now a couple
It took long
But now, they are in each other’s arms where they belong.

You are a Poet and need to appear
I am here to encourage and inspire you
All you have to do is try and pursue
Don’t worry about the words and sentences

Say what is on your mind
Don’t hold back nor hesitate

MOTIVATIONAL GESTURES
preservationman Oct 2020
Do you have any fears?
Do you want people near?
Within the questions, you must honest and sincere
Now let me give you some pointers to preserver
Put your fears to the side
Listen to the approach as I provide
The idea is to confront what is instilling in the fear
Could it be speaking in front of crowds of people?
Perhaps having no confidence
Maybe even feeling less inadequate
This could be related to your childhood coming up
Then again, maybe people said words to you to make fears come within you
The truth to the matter, you need to build your self-esteem up
Confront those fears, and let yourself improve
Associate the word, ‘ENTHUSED”
Don’t let anyone question your personality that yourself is confused
People only want to think that you are misused
You are who you are
It’s only you that will achieve going far
If giving a speech makes you uncomfortable
Put the key word in your head “ABLE”
Practice around your kitchen table, and pretend it is a meeting around a Roundtable, but before you start, take a deep breath
Yet always instill, “I CAN DO THIS”
You will find you could do it after all
Overcoming fears means you must challenge them
Making it personal like a battle
Remember, it is you in the saddle
But the emphasis is victory
Your testimonial being your story
Deliver what you always wanted that was required
Your mission being what you always desired
Tell fear look out, you see your horizon moving about.

SPOTLIGHT ON TESTIMONY
preservationman Feb 2021
Music the introduction
The Curtain rises
There is only one individual act
The dialog will add to the fact
An Actor steps out
The audience applause
The dramatic presence will have a clause
As the Actor moves, so does the spotlight
The dramatic feel, “ HELP ME HELP ME”
A moment pause
Wait and listen
You don’t know what is in my heart
My wounds were of trouble I been through
There was a time I was in Jail
My times in school were a fail
I was at a place at the wrong time
I started hanging out with people I thought were my friends
My life in then
This is my story while
These so called friends had me taking drugs and stealing
I was also Gambling in dealing
My time was all rearranged in my life
I got warnings with advice
But I thought the suggestions weren’t nice
But I guess I was simply sublime
My regrets weren’t kind
So because I lead my own understanding, I served time
Behind those very Jail bars, I learned a hard lesson being rock bottom
It’s easy to fall down, but one must get up
It was a hard lesson to get through
I did a lot of praying and soul searching
My soul must meant for Drugs and stealing
Oh yes, the impact had an influence
It took all of my endurance
I am out of Jail and my life now is on a positive vibe
At least I lived to tell
Believe in yourself
Achieve the impossible
But see your life in fulfilling as possible

INTRUDER MONOPOLY
preservationman Mar 2021
You are a stranger
Your mind focuses on attack
I am on caution, and I am stepping back
It goes beyond fact
You are about stalk
There’s no reason I should talk
There are boundaries
You are simply a mystery
You are a possible threat
You are a person that the world dreads
You want to invade the atmosphere
This is called fear
No one wants you near
You are a person that doesn’t compare
It’s your preserver
You have a mission
Your motive is precision
So let me stay away
Intruders I always stay astray
I will not become one of your victims on any day

A TIME FOR POETS
preservationman May 2021
Let the words dazzle and dance
Come alive in entertainment in trance
Words have their own presence
No one knows what is inside as the Poet thinks
The Poet controls the words and letters using the alphabet
Like a Piano key, it’s the words that set the tune
The Poet introduces the tempo
Open heart
A Poet’s theory
History and mystery
Unknown until proven
Follow me to our destination
We reached sentenceville
In your heart until
You thought
But a Poet showed
You read
But now you understand
A Poet knew from the very beginning
You wondered but wasn’t sure
There were clues along the w4ay
The Poet makes it clear
But the Poet always draws you near
A time being the moment
Write in constant action
Yet wanting your reaction
The Poet’s time takes time
That is what separates us being genuine
You can applaud being appreciation
This how a Poet ends in presentation.

Darkness bind
Surroundings that are unkind
A storm to disturb
But there is nothing to observe
The thought of courage, but doubting hope
Shadows all centered through the mind
Everything concealed
Yet nothing is revealed
Connections are for real
All I can do is maneuver and feel
It’s a wonder
But one can only wander
Images with no substance
Darkness controlled in full instance
Trapped shade
No light being made
The darkness causes me to be still
My nervousness being my will
Yes shadows that has taken over
Darkness mode the discover

EVENING SUNDOWN
preservationman Apr 2023
A day gone through
Home to relax
Relaxing and not perplexed
Time being a wonder
Completed job assignments
It wasn’t easy
Certainly not a day cheesy
It was a matter in being organized
Understanding while remaining wise
The thought caught up in the moment
Enterprising mind
Getting a good night’s sleep
Dreaming deep
My soul not necessarily mine to keep
A day that was
Tomorrow doing it all again
A let be
Another day to come that will be something to see.
preservationman Jun 2022
Help the world to believe in hope
Understanding is how one copes
I pray for covering in enemy protection
A defense that the Evil can’t touch
I also pray for encouragement for the world
A world of Peace
Let your frustrations be released
Make every second and moment a time to pray
Devotion surrounded by blessings
Turn hate into respect
Turn rebel into obedience
Let spiritual promise be your assurance
I pray for the world in endurance
Turn patience into tolerance
The Lord can supply all your needs
Let every day be a blessing to proceed
This I pray
Always believe throughout the day
Don’t go astray
Be covered by Heavenly hands
The truth being the caravan
My prayers go out throughout the land
You will be ok
The Lord will keep it that way.

Words that turn cold into hot
At times the warm feeling whether you like it or not
Temperature rises
The after effects in surprises
No one knows what will come next
It leaves a feeling of being perplexed
Maybe even in the mirror doing a quick flex
Yet words that could cause a sweat
Spreading the word
A moment in needing to be heard
Word sick
A thought that would stick
Temperatures Elevate, but it is up to the fever words to illustrate

WORD OF FAITH
preservationman Jun 2023
A time of lack of Faith
Refusing to believe
Plenty of doubt
From Ancient to present
Heaven’s Faith recaptured
Through motions of the spirit
From reflections from above
It took time after time
Even when souls were drinking wine
It wasn’t an easy task
Through revolving time Faith came fast
Suddenly Faith had a meaning
But it took convincing
From past tense to current tense
Faith was tested within itself
Faith is independent and is its own self
Testimonies confessed
Miracles supported on contest
Victories became conquest
Faith found its way into the world’s heart
Believing was the key start
Accelerated from one heart to another
Faith goes to every I
But can Faith be maintained?
Here are the key elements of Faith

F FULFILL

A ACTION

I INSPIRE

T TEACH

H HOLY
The march and Chant
We Shall Overcome and we can
We must be on the mission shall
On Dr. King’s Birthday, we must do more than just reflect on his accomplishment and establishment
A call for action
Civil Rights call
Dr. King’s vision is still among us
His Legacy reigns
Stand Up with Head Up
It’s dignity and Reality
We have abilities and assurance
We are the strength in endurance
Dr. King’s influence
There is a cause and we are the effect
It matters when and how
We are the now
A need for change and rearrange
No time to blame
Civil Rights aim
Bulls eye right on target
Dr. King wants us to wake up and not pause on his dream
Waters are flowing and we can’t just let go dry
We are America
Be ever proud
This is all Races time
Dr. King wants us to all to come together and converse
His message is clear in how we will preserver
Dr. King is looking down on us from Heaven and wondering
Did his cause die in vain?
The mission he couldn’t finish must be continued
There is work to be done if we intend to be among
Dr. King was the purpose and we are the supporters yet to walk in Dr. King’s footsteps
Step by step ever Civil Rights closer
The Lord says, “I am the world’s firm foundation”
The creation being Mighty
Don’t settle, but speak out
Don’t be still, but have a determined will
Civil Rights is still needed to fulfill
Dr. King’s birthday I couldn’t let go by
Let us all fight for Civil Rights and have courage in the movement to try
Dr. King wants us to stand with him and in honor of him
I still hear the echoes of “WE SHALL OVERCOME”.

WHAT YOU DON’T SEE
preservationman Apr 2020
What you see on the outside, you can’t see on the inside
You don’t see the heart in how it functions
You don’t see my inner emotions
It doesn’t mater as you only see the response
The action unseen from within
Tears on the outside of the situation
The inward responding outward action
Now within you don’t understand the reason
It was never told
But it started to unfold
Distance from a far
You can’t even wish upon a star
You think you know a person from within
But you could only look in
Keep looking but you won’t find
One can be bitter and one kind
One can be drowning down wine
Yet time will unwine
The inner surface being hard to reach
Isn’t that obvious?
What you thought is not what you see
Being Confident in and out is the true key.

THE PLATFORM
preservationman Jan 2018
I am who I am
I wasn’t born to be someone else
No I am not trying to boost
I am the individual I am supposed to be
My time is now
Understanding comes with identification of contrast
Conviction comes with enduring truth
Honesty having integrity
Yet seeing the true reality
If a man doesn’t stand for what’s right
Then what is the purpose to stand?
Teachings come far and continue beyond
But has one learned to grasp the inspiration to venture on
Where there is strength is preparation for the battle
It means solidity in the saddle
I was meant to be the person you see
I am the assurance being the image that should be
My emotions have settled
My cries have ceased
No time to look back but move forward towards the sunrise
Yes it’s a new day
I lived to see tomorrow
There were times I experienced sorrow
But through the pain I didn’t let negativity reign
My open heart with a true voice is what remained
Carry on I taught you well
I stand being the example and inspiration in my own right
Honor me not, but applaud being the Lord
It was all through his accord
I stand as a man
My vision throughout the horizon spreads throughout the land
This is not a command
I have been given a chance of life
No one can change that
I stand as a witness with a testimony
Embark and embrace
Think for a moment, but only for that moment
I did, I can and I shall
Accomplishment has been established
Your reason to be involved
Commotion having a resolve
Let no one say you have failed
You only failed if there was no movement on your part
There’s your start
Live by being the example and not the footsteps of what is already done.

The woodman’s ax
The X marks the spot
Wood chopping being a regular chore
A Wooden Log cabin built from grace into galore
It was nestled well in the deep forest away from any close by dwellers
The Old Man alone accomplished this
Thus
It was always the Old Man’s dream
You would find the Old Man many times fishing at a stream
His catch would seem like a movie a flick
The Old Man’s fish catching in drawer dropping thick
Now the Old Man wasn’t rich, but really poor
He had gained knowledge having full of wisdom
Freedom on his mind to explore in a world unknown
The same Old Man from his youth with ambitions that continued beyond
It was precision with time
A fireplace and a rocking chair where the old man would often seat
The old man was his own narrator
He would talk aloud as his he had an audience, but it was always the furniture that was there, but no response from listening
The Old Man would reflect on where his life all started and the age of longevity
A Wooden Log Cabin with an old Man’s name on it
But tragedy struck one day, the log cabin was hit by a bolt of lightning
The Log Cabin burned up in flames being total destroyed
But the old man had died prior, but lived a good life
A Statue was dedicated in honor of everlasting in memory of the Old Man
A man with strength in character and devoted determination
Below the Old Man’s statue read, “The Old Man who saw a vision and built a foundation of a Wooden Log Cabin being of solid precision and a heart of gold”.

It seems the Airliner was stuck in an anywhere time module
The Airliner would take off in fligh5t in the present, but would go from current into unknown times
The flight would be smooth
The destination was supposed to be from Los Angeles to Chicago
The passengers, Pilot and entire Flight crew themselves going from through historical past
It planned on the Flight chart
Even the passengers had no idea as to what was going on and what was transpiring
Confusion and concern running through everybody’s mind
No explanation could be expelled into why and what was happening on the Airliner
Finding their way to where?
There was no getaway only time traveling entry way
Fuel was getting low
The airliner in flight, but seemed locked in time to anywhere
Stuck in time to nowhere bound
They couldn’t even return back to their time where everything started
Airliner in its own search, but loss in no find.

FLYING AIRCRAFT BUS
preservationman Oct 2021
Welcome aboard and buckle up
Prepare for takeoff
Let me introduce myself, I am the Pilot of words
On this flight, you will learn about this flying bus
The company is well known and you will be surprised
Now it is time for me to emphasize
You heard of flying cars that turn into a plane
That’s the future, and moving forward will remain
But my story is about a flying bus
Yes, it surrounds the Greyhound bus
Imagine a stretched hound being the trademark on an actual plane
It is a known fact, but let me take you back
It was in 1996, the Greyhound Air started its Canadian Flight
Passengers left from the various Canadian Airports
Greyhound had taken to the friendly skies that became an enterprise
The Parent Company was Greyhound Canada
However, the airlines business was short lived, and ceased operations in 1997
If someone says when dogs learn to fly
Just emphasize, the Greyhound dog did it in a big way as it had wings, and took to the air
Don’t be surprised with strange responses that you might get
Maybe even wager with them in a bet
I am a witness that Greyhound did fly
It was an illusion
You can draw your own conclusion
The air was the Greyhound way
That’s the story told today
Enjoy your flight in every way.

Couldn’t sleep
Tried to even count sheep
The thought of Reindeers circulating deep
The anticipation of Santa’s arrival
Santa’s motto, “You better not cry nor pout”

Otherwise, Santa will bypass his house and skip
Santa’s tip
As the night went on, the little tot finally gave in and went into deep sleep
The Holiday night and the stars, sleep tight
Christmas morning arrived, and the little tot rushed downstairs and looked under the Christmas Tree of the presents that were left by Santa
The little Tot was so excited, he had to open the gifts right away
He saw all kinds of gifts such as a passenger plane, a small Remote Robot, a toy Greyhound bus and more
Full of joy

What is the cause?
What would it take to bring that passion back?
Our love for each other had an impact
I cry day and night for our love to return
Yet my heart feels like a burning urn
I am truthful and need you to be the same
The focus should not be on blame in shame
Our hearts must be on target on aim
The love I believe is still there
It comes at an instance
But we can’t live together on resistance
We must be persistence
We are not on an endless country back road
Take my hand and let me prove our threshold
Stars in the sky Twinkle, as we need to understand
As Man and Wife, we are both in demand
Love we now or never
I don’t want to think ever
Open up or be a closed within seal
I want our love to flourish again on real
I pray we can fulfill
But you have the will
I love you still
Let love be our intensity in thrill

THE AUTHOR’S MIND
preservationman Aug 2021
I feel a story coming on
The Characters are carefully placed where they belong
Words are the narrations
Dialog with no intimacy
Letters formulated from the Alphabet
A time with hours to write
Alone in thought
Inspiration of sought
As the words opened up
A theory appeared
It was romance being only a test
But there was an interruption throughout
War took place
It wasn’t a warrior war
It was a war of two hearts
Together was separate
The words behind were the illustrate
The storm of two minds
Don’t speak
Retreat
Emotions had no thoughts
It was a stand alone tormented
Leave me
The sunset had settled down
Now no one can be found
Path’s go down different roads
This wasn’t something that was told
This is what soul took hold
We were only a yesterday
But now I know my tomorrow
Sorrow less
This is a confess
Love was only a moment
Days that formed live
This is the only objective
Good-bye

WONDEROUS FROM HEAVEN
preservationman Feb 2022
Lord, I often worry
Remember, I am the glory
You sit in the kingdom
You enriched me in wisdom
Your spirit will always sustain
My Faithfulness will always remain
When struggles become more than you can bare
I am Lord who is fair
But it is my compassion in care
Always pray
I am the connection in relay
Even when the Devil wants to attack
Behold I am the fence of protection that holds back
It becomes the Devil Set Back
My soulful hands got you covered
Don’t worry
You have a testimony being your story
You are home in salvation
Welcome to my revelation
You were loss in darkness
I pulled from the wilderness
You have seen storms throughout your life
From Heaven to Earth, I gave advice
You are now my sheep
I am your God to keep
I will guide and direct
You are my image which will be given power and effect
You are my process
But don’t recess
Stand and Walk
Continue our daily talk
Your questions will always be answered
Closer even now
You captured my Soul, Heart and Spirit
My praises in merit
Understanding indeed
You help me daily to process
I will witness to those in need
Yet, I will endure your creed

THE JAIL CELL WALLS SPEAK
preservationman May 2021
In Jail for life
You didn’t listen to the Lawyer giving advice
All you do is stare at the Cell walls
Within the Jail Cell, it is you and a stall
Through the Jail Cell Window, you see the night Moon and Stars
You visualize your life living on Mars
Your life now is no longer your own
Your name in society is no longer full blown
A letter and numbers represent you are an inmate
Jail is now your fate
You write letters to family for inspiration
You are trying to compose communication
You pray for wisdom and understanding
But you are in a situation
You are God’s creation
The Devil wants you to reflect condemnation
Other Inmates see you as a failure and loser
You made mistakes
The thought of it makes your body shake
Jail is no joke
Your mind is fighting revoke
Your punishment is rebuke
Awakening Jail
It’s the place where you will get your mail
So now you want to sleep
You will be soul deep
No answer when you will get out
Life in prison is your bout

PRAYING TRAVELING BUS
preservationman Jul 2023
Surrounded by Faith
Encouraging the world
Spiritual swirl
Kneeing and embracing
Fulfilling and suggesting
Journeying through the highways and back roads
Praying having a purpose
Praying for the hearts of the people
Just that simple
Unloading the empty hearts
Step aboard and pray
Break through
Health issues to overcome
Pray Pray Pray
The praying traveling bus bringing inspiration
The praying bus slogan “Let us show you how”
Praying being a continuous matter
Too much negative chatter
Pray for all time
Respect and be kind

AS THE STORY TURNS
preservationman Oct 2023
You said you were going out for cigarettes, and would be right back
Hours and days passed
There was no sign of you
No phone call nor letter
That was an indication that you were cheating
A woman called and said I have your man
He doesn’t love you anymore
I found a Greyhound Bus Schedule with a departure checked off
The destination was Los Angeles, California
There was no love in our marriage the whole time we were together
We never really talked
We had nothing in common
Our entire life was nothing but lies
I found me someone who loves me
Before I wanted to confront you
I thought beware
I just didn’t care
You were like out dated shoes with no sole whatsoever
I actually told your woman that she could keep you as he was no longer needed
I can pursue a new life
We both did best that was for all of us
Our marriage had no try
I am not going to cry
No need to ask why?
All I can say is goodbye
preservationman Aug 2022
I remember living in a Log Cabin nestled among the Forest and Mountains
It wasn’t the North nor West
It wasn’t even the East
It was the deep south
Grandma would be singing spiritual songs and praying throughout the cabin day and night
Confusion and not understandable for a young boy being raised in the middle of nowhere
Grandma would always say, “God is able, and always follow his spirit that sheds light being your guide where he wants you to be”
Questions after questions
Grandma would often offer suggestions being encouragement
She always told of her Folk tail about her past life
As I listened, I felt it was like advice
Son, I was a slave from way back
I was beaten until I almost had no flesh
I didn’t let that stop me from thinking Freedom, but I knew it would be the Lord’s wisdom showing me understanding
Grandma prayed Morning, Noon and Night
All that while she was going through her plight
One day, Grandma woke up at 2:00 am determined to be free
She gathered the other slaves and she told them come and follow me
God will show us the way
By the time the sun had risen high, the plantation owners would be searching for what they thought was theirs
In the aftermath, the slaves were never found because they became free
Their new life was fulfilled being God’s will
Wisdom spoke
Son, “Never wonder, but always seek”
Be strong, but never weak
Always be hungry to defeat
Turn wrong into doing right
Have courage and never fright
Grandma has seen and conquered
My years have caught up
My eyes see glory
Soon I will depart for my Heavenly home
It’s where my Soul will roam
Earth is not my restful place
It’s my everlasting being the trace
Heaven United
That is where you will find me
I will be waiting every day at the Pearly Gates
Don’t be late
Heaven’s sake
Wisdom only knows
But now you know
My tomorrow is now
Grandma eyes closed
Grandma lover
The Dove is now flying above.

FOLLOW ME TOO THE SKIES
preservationman Jan 2022
They range from Coast to Coast
But don’t try to boast
They are wise
It’s every day feeling energized
Understanding in knowing who I am
Words and sentence embedding me in knowledge
It’s a blessing forming privilege
Every sunrise a praise
Every sundown being amaze
It’s that moment to just pause
Just to say thank you in the cause
Honoring the Mighty One
This is what keeps me among
Through the skies words become my inspiration
Doubt is ruled out in speculation
My expression through Mercy and Grace
I am the Human Creation being the trace
Hope is evidence through the skies
I am embraced instilling wise
I have weathered many storms
But always told in not to be alarmed
I am never harmed
I stand for myself in my soul
Behold
The skies know and care
They have that certain flair
I just wanted to share
The skies listen in being fair
They help me survive and there is no compare
The skies are my life
They give me good advice
Beautiful and goodness
I am the witness

PICK-A-DREAM
preservationman Jun 2022
A night full of dreams
Possibilities that could come true
A closed door that opened
Opportunity trying to get my attention
I was my own representation
What I thought I was shown what I could do
The time to pursue
Acting moment
Imagining myself on the Broadway stage
Captivated and amazed
Speaking words from a rehearsed script
It was happening on the Great White Way Broadway
That is where my dream wanted me to be
My name in lights for all to see
My tomorrow was yesterday
As the music and curtain came up
I felt certain
Perform I did
The finale being the audience applause in approval
Nothing unusual
My moment with a cause
They say if you wish hard enough, dreams do come true
It was a moving moment for me to go through
Inspiration
Illustration
Audition
Perform
Finale
Dream and later awoke with something to think about

LOVE IS IN ME
preservationman Oct 2024
Our lips in kiss
Romance a whole new twist
Enchanted love being our own concept
You make my heart pound and beat hard
You are my Queen and I am your King
We are royal with as a couple in our unity
Love me now into forever
Your kiss puts me in a trance
I think of you at every chance
Interlude smooth
Our love is proof
It started in our youth and blossomed into elegance
Our story is long tailed into enchanted
Far from what Fairytales say
Your love is what I want to come my way
Until tonight my sweet, the night moon shines
My Champagne unites our love of goodness
I love you more than ever

NIGHT LIGHT APPROACH
preservationman Apr 2023
The summer night was hot with intense humid heat
Sweat was pouring down
It wasn’t a night for the ultimate obvious
Writing becoming curious
Taking the alphabet letters on a journey
Places unknown
Turning up discoveries
Hesitant becoming assured
Confident confessing courage
Combinations of possibilities
Setting the time and place
Organizing the thoughts with a purpose
Destination with an arrival
Beginning extending transcending
Unlocking the door being the mind having the key
Echoes upon echoes in hearing
Answering
It’s time
Write and hold nothing back
Let your mind keep track
Journey to anywhere
Focus on vision
Testing logic with reasoning
Proceeding in precise
Flavoring the ingredient of words
The senses of spice in the mind
Let this be the night of write
Focus on sight
Have no fear
I say to you, write on and good night.

Stars that twinkle above
I often wish being what I think of
My wish is to be a better person

Perhaps a captivating moment by the San Francisco Bay
That is my wish for today.

ORANGE PAVILLION
A man who thinks he’s king
Being elected is the thing
There is a Mighty deserving Heavenly King
Orange turning the White House as a personal castle
Executive orders like a treason
Confusing world doesn’t know the reason
Orange wants people to think his way
If you don’t follow his way, you separately estray
Decisions after decisions is a must listen
Verbal attacks after attacks
Having no fact
Reject comes with a Fail
Always telling a tail
A world only knows
It’s the oval office that shows
