Breezes from everywhere
Living life without any worries
Dazzle of the mind

Freedom to cruise
Journey into enthused

Observations seen into the horizon
Lighthouses from the shores

Just miles to see

IMAGINARY TWIST
preservationman Nov 2024
The possibilities and outcomes
Thinking joy into glad
Roaming the atmosphere with wings of your own
Exploring Space without needing a spaceship
Wonders at your grasp
Acceleration at the speed of Marvel “THE FLASH”
The untouchable you being a Super Hero fighting crime
Having magical powers to change objects and situations
Curing Diseases beyond science with resolutions of healing
Going back in time where your life started and revising changes in the present
Obvious only makes one curious
Just imagine impossible becoming possible
Imagine the mysterious
Your mind exploring new depths of knowledge
Every tomorrow being a now
Methodology being a new concept
Dreams become what has been holding you back in achieving
Just imagine and believe.

LOVE IS IN ME

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

CIRCUMSTANCE TO ADVANCE
preservationman Oct 2023
In the middle
Surrounded by a struggle
Trying to figure out
A challenge
A battle
Will I win
Total fight
Can’t give up
Must be determined
Searching for resolution
All I see is conclusions
Perhaps fear within my own illusions
Trapped in a center circle
Decisions in directions to make
Mistakes made
Loss, but still can be found
Swirl Swirl Swirl
Constant
Continuous
Just makes me furious
I need these circumstances to stop
I need to reach the top
Maybe I don’t how
That is the reaction now
Circumstance
My glance
Uncertain
Less confident
Yet I know somewhere there is a way out
As I move about
I might be corned now
All a test
Life showing me confess
It is fear
I must think courage
Expectations
Me
Command
Demand
Excel
Expel
Circumstance over
My discovery
Just take charge

Everything you do move along
Every achievement is a blessing
Every accomplishing came from courage
But add knowledge to the nourish
Talent that you refined in preparation
Think forward
But only for a moment reflect back
Look at your achieving track
Remember your experiences in your efforts
You found your purpose
Like an Ocean, you learned how to reach the surface
The journey being your own
You did it guided by Heaven alone
You proved to yourself to accelerate
Now that is something you should appreciate
Well your efforts became show and tell
At times trial and tribulations you fell
But you got up and managed to move forward
Continue to walk and talk your ability
It seemed hard
But believing made it easier
It all comes down to assurance
Being committed in your endurance
Perhaps encouragement yonder being the influence
Steady on your feet
Moving forward, and now that makes you unique
Competitive you are
Now with that determination, you shall go far
Steady as you are
You are your own star

MUSIC TO MY EARS
preservationman Aug 2019
Picture walking up Sixth Avenue in Midtown New York City on West 42nd Street
As I was walking, I began to hear singing echoing in the distance
I needed to get closer in hearing more in an instance
So I decided to walk up Fifth Avenue, and I was now on West 45th Street in 1978
The music got more distinct, but there was a Choir added to the singing, and it was “America The Beautiful”
How fitting for the occasion since it was ST. Patrick’s Cathedral Centennial
The music and choir singing was simply beautiful
I felt truly youthful
It was all coming from St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue and East 50th Street
But there was an added treat
Cardinal Terrence Cooke was standing on the Cathedral steps shaking hands with all people as they passed by including yours truly the writer
It was an experience I will never forget
Yet, I have only one regret
Cardinal Cooke is no longer around
But the remembrance I am keeping found
However, for right now let me settle down
Music to my ears in telling me not to have any fear
St. Patrick’s Cathedral is still near
I can still feel the music and choir in the air.

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 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.

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.

FORBIDDEN PASTURES
preservationman Aug 2020
Restricted full of discipline
Parents who raised their son Johnny
A boy who was taught right from wrong
The same concept in educating in how to get along
Johnny often told his parents he wanted to go out
But it became more of a shouting match than discussion
It was always total disruptions on both sides
But this was Johnny’s Parent house, and he would have to abide
Yet, Johnny always wanted to venture about
In Johnny’s eyes, it was about exploring life’s enjoyments in care
That is no more than fair
But Johnny’s parent’s who were so strict wanted their son to have the best things in life, and higher learning in education was the absolute key
Johnny’s Parent didn’t want their son to hang out on the streets than become a **** controlling the streets
This was a lesson of living survival
But it is inspiration being noble
Yet, when one is a Teenager being like Johnny, you want to find yourself
He wanted to fit I with his peers
But that is what Johnny’s Parent always feared
This is why Johnny was restricted on every bound
The idea for Johnny was to climb the mounds being their son’s own success
But Johnny’s words says it best, “Being young you want friends too look upon, and endure the sweet smell of humanism”
However, Johnny’s Parent were thinking beyond their son’s mind being intellectual
So being restricted having a reason and purpose
Isn’t that obvious?
Life on roadblock, but caution to no unjustified flock
Johnny, be your best, and let learn confess
Those words came from Johnny’s parent
You are our only son, we want you to live and be among.

The distance senses of the elevating breeze
The sweet voices of encouragement being like a fragrance while being at ease
The ear taking in all the echoes
A call to do and lend an ear
The message being clear to continue to preserver
The whispers being soft and pleasant
Over your heart to listen to what the echoes represent
It’s life’s movement present
Distance in bringing echoes close
Choices that need to be made
Where there is sun is also shade
Whispers in my head I keeping thinking about
All I want to do is complete shout
But the echoes and whispers is stay strong
You are being guided and know how to get along

Unfortunately, it surrounds around reality
The whispers are only echoes to keep you updated in your life

Otherwise, Santa will bypass his house and skip

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

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

I was on vacation heading for the West Coast
It was the Bay City
A 4 days journey and no one is going to have pity
I was on a direct route being a thru-Coach from New York City to San Francisco, CA
But I am travelling on a Greyhound bus
Everything was going smoothly
Not until
The trip started with upcoming event with an Expectant Mother and Father to be who boarded in Omaha, NE
Well the announcement for my departure from Omaha for passengers to claim their seats
It was a highway ride through the darkened night
But me and the passengers don’t know, we are about to have a plight
Look at that, we arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah
We certainly travelled far
As too be expected, the Pregnant Woman travelling was having a few labor pains
But according to the schedule, we pushed on
We just crossed the Nevada State Line
But keep Baby arrival in mind
We made a brief rest stop, but the baby is ready to see the world
We the passengers noticed the Greyhound Driver counting her contractions
What luck, we were near a Major Hospital, and they were alerted, and the expectant Mother and Father to be got off as the Hospital staff carried the Pregnant Mother on a Stretcher off the bus
Meanwhile, the Driver announced what became a 30 minute stop was a two hour stop
Timing was everything at that point
Driver told us to sit back as he was going to make up time on the road that we loss
Somehow we arrived ahead of schedule on Greyhound into San Francisco, CA
Journey of course, but for the expectancy that is another story.

There is only one individual act

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

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.

Don’t swim too far out
Sharks could be lurking about
Shark bite
Don’t be the Shark’s delight
Take this poem advice.

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.

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.

REWARDING THIRST
preservationman Feb 2024
Goodness from the Earth
Quench of Thirst
Refreshing blend
Reinvigorating thought
Heaven’s flow
Purity let go
Moving water streams of Faith
The glisten of hope
Establishment of creation
Tasteful and crystal clear
Bringing need from far to near
Gulp down
Standing redeemed
Refreshed forever

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

Rhythm in honor
Uplift from the Kingdom
Blessed Assurance
A reason to dance
Heaven’s lookout
Where there is a dance comes a praising shout
Joyful experience
Spiritual influence
Dance of song
The blessings that come along
Chosen to get
No regret

HALLOWEEN HOUSE
preservationman Oct 2023
Halloween style
Celebration during while
All the guest was in a costume
Even an unwelcomed costume mouse
The night became young
Everyone was dancing among
The Michael Jackson THRILLER song was on
Everyone was on the dance floor where they belong
You could feel the chills in the house air
Surrounded throughout the environment
Beware
Suddenly, the Midnight hour made its announcement with a gong
The house got dark
Ready or not being the mark
All the guest in costume’s acted out who they were representing
Dracula searched for blood
Zombies aimed for flesh
Crystal ***** came to live
Even the house itself came alive
Yours truly was looking for a place to hide
It was trick in who was going to be the treat
If you are still breathing through all this, you are braver than I
It was. Hours of fun through the moments
Smoke screen flashes
Dazzle of lights
Eerie sounds
Lights quickly came on being pure delight
Hallo set
Happy Halloween
My effect
If you are looking for me, you will find me under the bed.

MY TOMORROW CAME TODAY
preservationman Aug 2019
I didn’t know when
I wasn’t sure how
But I knew my tomorrow was coming
It turned out to be life being continuously
I breathing fresh air miraculous
Time is like a clock
Hours into minutes
A moment into a second
That is why life is so precious
That also describes my actual being my tomorrow
It arrived ahead of schedule
No it didn’t come like a pill like a module
But when I say tomorrow, people seem to think a distance off
That would be true in certain instances
But today, my tomorrow was my face off to continue to live
It is motivation for me
I know there are theories for me to see
There is guidance that will be every step of the way
Since I am at tomorrow, I am going to be thankful today
My tomorrow enhanced the sunshine being exceptionally bright
What could have been a shade of darkness became a blessing with walk into the light
Tomorrow came, and today is.
preservationman Mar 2021
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

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.
