IF I CAN HELP SOMEBODY
preservationman Jul 2020
My Grandmother would often say those words, “If I Can Help Somebody”
It didn’t matter if it was monetary, Food or just a word of encouragement in wisdom
That was my Grandmother’s motto speaking words in getting her closer to the kingdom
I would often observe, but didn’t understand at the time
Growing up you begin to wonder
What does life have in store?
The answer, you have to think living in order to explore
As my Grandfather would said, “Live and Learn”
My Grandmother was only doing God’s will
Now that is a big platform to fill
But that was my Grandmother’s way being her personality in the bill
Yet somehow, that is encouragement for me in hope still
Don’t look for an award, but be glorified to help
Now that is heart felt
Worry not, but be joyful through
Help in need
There’s a proceed
Praise in chant
Yet, will always think on my Grandmother’s mission in how I can help somebody
No specific person, but anybody
Her spirit from Heaven
Help until satisfied
In God I will abide.

MY OWN SHOE FIT
Life came in one shoe fit
Determined to live and not quit
Made the wrong choices
Managed to overtake and make right
Achieved of value in knowing how establish
No question needed with answer
Fighter of life with no surrender spirit
No need to say sorry
There is no worry
Some would say merit while others would say punk
Call it what you will
I understand myself, but do you understand yourself
My name is counted among
A man higher than I knows it
Believe what you will
Know myself better than anybody else
Baby, I thought you understood
Must understand yourself before analyzing another
Words you say draws me away
You are trying to convince me to stay
Standing on principle
Words said are reality
Don’t pity me, but pity yourself
Made up for it in life in believing who I am having a purpose
Tomorrow everlasting
Shoe fit
Don’t try to fit in it
Don’t know what I gone through in life
Standing and continuing to stand
You are no longer in dem and
My shoes have walked on
Be gone

MORE THAN JUST WORDS
preservationman Apr 2023
A storm approached
Alone in the middle of the field
Lightning striking everywhere
Then there was a loud crack
Scared with fear
There was a storm near
Through the mind of thought, would the lightning strike me?
The rain poured in heavy showers
Thunder roared as if Heaven’s fiery
I felt the need to surrender myself
Wonder circulated through my mind
I found myself looking yonder amidst the skies
All I saw was overcast, flashing of lightning and rain
Was this my kingdom come?
I started singing spiritual
Help me get along
Without warning, the storm seemed to ease down
A rainbow appeared along with the sun
I was allowed to be alive and still among
My call from Heaven to Earth
Fate being an understanding
Danger on caution
One thing that will always remain is assurance
The skies lesson
Be obedience and influence
Accept or be unaccepted
The skies watch and observe
One lesson at a time
Tears with thanks
Look up with hope
More than just words
Reflection and redemption
Words well taken
For told in behold
Solid ground my threshold

HIGHWAY LOVE
preservationman Aug 2023
Destination love
Romance being all the above
It was Greyhound Bus Schedule 101
Journey with a direction
The place being Los Angeles
The trip started from St. Louis, Missouri
Two passengers in particular were Mary and John
Those names I want to look upon
Mary and John sat together on the Greyhound bus
They were sitting side by side
Wait until you see how romance came a provide
It would be a long three days ride
Mary and John unknowingly had their heads leaning on each other
While they were asleep
By dawn, they woke up together and realized they had slept on each other the whole time
Mary apologized and so did John
That is how the romance got started
Conversations into continuous conversations
They really got to know one another
Comfortable in their reclining seats
They both reclined into each other’s heart
Mary was single and had no boyfriend
John on the other hand had a Girlfriend, but broke up
What a coincidence?
The Greyhound bus still maneuvering to its final destination
Love seemed to be on Mary and John
Everywhere the bus stopped for a break, you would find Mary and John together
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner was a calling card to both
One would think was this an oath
Los Angeles they finally arrived
John was in Los Angeles for a Lawyer’s Convention
Didn’t I tell you, John was a Lawyer
With all the romance and conversations that was going on I completely forgot
Perhaps it was on purpose
Mary on the other hand was on vacation from her Fortune 500 Corporation as an Executive Assistant to a Managing partner for two weeks
John was going to be in Los Angeles for two weeks himself
Somehow love is going to get even closer without warning
It did, they started dating immediately
On and On and On and continuous
They would often be seen holding hands and kissing
It was Greyhound bus connection with no transfer of love
Mary and John got in touch with each other’s hearts
True highway love
Arrival into romance
Now are Love Mates

Devil’s words in taking control
Full of fire being bold
Evil desire
Mind control in obeying the mission
Corruption to begin

Horns and animal face
Left with no erase
Time for you to obey
You cannot go astray
Resist and your soul will be totally destroyed
Around you there are many decoys
Choose wisely in doing the Devil’s will
No pause and can’t be still
You have a cause
I am the Devil with a clause

UNEXPECTED THOUGHT
preservationman Oct 2024
The hills have eyes
The mountains extend understanding
Concrete expressions
Words different from one another
The stance of Logic
Skies clear with no doubt specific
Possibilities with a tomorrow
Horizon ahead
Every day a wonder
The journey into yonder
Stepping into circumstance
Opportunity showing assurance
Step by Step
Methodology education
Theory of promise
Movement from past to present
The truth
When one thinks high and believes in one’s self
One becomes a winner when effort is made and one puts in the work.
preservationman Oct 2022
Growing up, I had lots of friends
Joy in laughing, communicating and playing games
Happy times
But as time went on, friends moved away like a drifting tide
It was as if they were trying to hide
They began to not call
I was no longer hearing from all
Family began to treat me like a loss sheep
At least I had my self-respect in my soul to keep
Coldness began center around me
It was the feeling that so called friends and family were giving
I don’t pity myself
I am not like everybody else
My life has freshness and newness
Every day, I never know what to expect
But that is good thing
Prosperity always breathes within my soul
You might think I am ordinary
If you are uncertain, try using the dictionary
Reject can have negative effects
It’s nothing I did
If so, God forbid
My life is surrounded by goodness to which I associate
Bringing love and encouragement
I laugh through the pain
It doesn’t make me lame
I don’t complain
My heart is solid as a rock
I am treated cold by many
Friendship, if any
I have been deleted
Yet not defeated
Commitment is my document
I can’t look back, but move forward
I can’t pause, I must be onward
Life is short, and no time to sit and worry
Life is its own devoted story
It’s the reason I continue to achieve no matter what
My mind in thinking
My ability in composing
My voice in communicating
Pillar of Strength
Extends on all lengths
No stopping me now
Mission with a promise
Being honest
The Lord has taught me well
In case you haven’t noticed, the world can tell
Mind control, the people understand
No matter with friends or woes
I will live my whole life out
No explanations
Life control, I totally took whole
Complete

NIGHT DREAM
Occurring disturbances echoing through the mind
Felt asleep
Twist and turn
Dreaming feeling like a nightmare
The midst of danger
The dream of enter
It was a person, train and car
Approaching train
A stop at a railroad crossing
Thought of can make it
Car got stuck in the middle
Train steadily getting closer
What do I do?
Do I jump out the car and run?
Meanwhile the train is coming and coming
I could be killed
Suddenly, the car starts and I pull away
The train passes and there was a getaway
Escape being a blessing
Dream as it would seem
But what does the dream mean?
Immediately woke up
Had drenching sweat
Wondered what did the dream surround?
There was danger, but somehow there was protection
Dream over
Went back to sleep
My soul still to keep.

Mission of war
Deterioration saw
The thought of becoming a Casualty
Prayed hard in reality
Bombs and heavy ammunition that surrounded me
Ashes of destruction
Comrades either wounded or dead
I had to be strong in mind and heart
It seemed assurance was distance off
I was thinking will I survive?
There are many war stories to tell
Victory close sounding like a bell
I truly was alive
A Soldier never knows what to expect
War can have that effect
A Soldier can find themselves in all kinds of predicaments
Maneuvering in kinds of weather elements
But I can confer
Because of war, my mind can get a blur
This Soldier made it out
Numerous wounds making it hard to move about
Survival
War story never forgotten
Chosen being the example
Just that simple
Tomorrow that could have been wasn’t

A determined soldier in every way

A soldier now and always
Sunrise and Sunset that will follow me throughout my days and nights
Everlasting wonder
The memory that goes far beyond yonder
I will always hear in my head “Onward”

These were the storms in my life
Darkness and Death were closing in
Uncertainty of light through my tunnel
Desperation on family minds
Doctor’s thoughts in prepare for a Funeral
Their give up
Faith must be connected to hope
Heaven would have the last word
My Grandmother who was spiritual strong questioned the Doctor’s analysis
She started looking into the Lord’s intervention
The Lord’s revelation, “I would pass this storm and many in overcoming”
A storm that was casted over my life had disappeared
Blessings were restored one after another
A man upstairs holding the key to answers the Doctor’s didn’t understand
The storms were a call to the Lord’s miracles in what he alone establishes
Storms and rainbows work together
My rainbow being live on and fulfill on goodness
My today with many tomorrows to be
I am still standing
I give the recognition and praise to the highest

MOONSHINE
As the Stars glistened
Stood and listened
The Moonshine provided the open air
It was like a storybook which the skies wanted to share
Clear skies beyond fair
Grasped at a Falling Star
I remember as a kid running and falling and getting a little scar
The night was ever so bright
I could see in distance a downtown city being a fabulous sight
Yet with hustle and bustle feeling uptight
But the Moon reminded me a struggle leads to be triumphed
A beginning with a good ending
Assurance coming from a far
A place you can’t get by car
It is the Heavens encouraging on believing
All during while as one is receiving
The Moon gave a smile
My emotion changed from sad and joy while
The Moonshine showed me my reflection on Earth
It was a vision of creation and my heartfelt instilled worth
Moonshine with impeccable design
Heaven’s engineering came out just fine.

My time in fear
Rejection in not wanting anyone near
My tears are my experiences I saw
My mind told me to completely ignore
No flourish to soar
My tears pour heavy
They are like a Dam levy
But they are holding steady
How do I overcome?
I am surrounded by lonesome
My tears are next to none
I must step out in courage
That is the only way to nourish
Tears come at a moment’s notice
My tears show I have no confidence
It’s obvious in an instance
No matter how tears fall
I must be able and not stall
I feel more of a regret
My tears have that effect
Stop now tears
This is the right time to preserver
Encourage me and come near
My tears have drawn back
My darkness is no longer black
I am responding now in just reflect

Direct me to my destination
Distance between Day and Night

Headlights through the unknown territories
Trucks signaling in changing lanes
Overhead in the sky a flying plane

Unfamiliar towns
You wonder if you breakdown in will you be found
Deserted backroads
Nothing scene for miles
Being worried while
Still one headlight being the only one driving
Signs everywhere through towns reading Entering and Leaving
Lonely highway all around you
Suddenly night is becoming the next day of sunrise
A yesterday became a tomorrow
Anticipation and hope sets in

Getting closer to the destination
Hesitation ceases
Expectation becomes high
Finally arriving at designated point
Lonely highway was only a moment, but arriving determined.

I started writing while tormented and fear
I didn’t know how I was going to preserver
I knew I couldn’t just give up
It was night after night with alcohol in my cup
Every thinking word seemed to capture my vision
When it came to writing that was for a reason
A voice kept saying, “Create then Illustrate”
This might be considered fate
I am sure everyone can relate
Yet an encouraging word shouted out, “It’s never too late”
I began to think and later wonder
My mind seemed to jump to a journey yonder
Suddenly, poetry came to life
Somehow the yonder was like given advice
I knew then I had a purpose in life
Destiny being the talent that was poured on me
It all made since
My words became past tense
Time moved on
I was writing beyond my own yond
But now a reflection to look back
Even now, I find it hard to even keep track
Poetry has captured my inspiring heart
Purpose being my name as a Poet
Inspired still with a determined will
It’s not some medicated pill
It’s being a Poet until
Until next time, I bid you all well.

No care
Spells beware
Forgotten purpose
Obvious
A wonder indeed
According to the world, this is how one should proceed
No forgiveness
No understanding

Love interaction
Eyes met
Hearts pounded
Inspiration or where have you been?
Pure attraction
Kiss of sensation
Let me take you out, and have dinner as we move about
The talk in getting to know each other
Being the lucky Fella
On top of the world
Every laugh and jokes came with enchanted smile
Loving after loving while
Inspiring loving words
Gestures sounding like personal whispers
Never thought I would feel love again
That was then
This is now
There was love deposits with no withdrawls in our love
Total desire with love input and output
Serious feel
True love for real
Bonding hands together
Romance being like on a High Mountain just the two of us embracing in the loving breezes
Cool refreshing wind and warm heart
Smooth loving thoughts
Stars twinkled
The Moon smiled
Only regret, we loss contact
Distance separated us
No fight, just loss each other
We were both temps from the same agency
My last day was a specific day
She was out sick on my last day
Loss love
What would our love have extended?
Maybe Man and Wife
Another place and time
My kiss in the wind to reach you
Until that captured moment again
Heart pounds
From your love wonder.

Years upon years have moved forward
I see you were wondering that looks awkward
The young boy is now a Male Adult
It’s his passion for success being felt
His eyes are set surrounding the Greyhound bus
It’s not driving, but engaging
It’s the action of Customer Service involvement
The mind wheels are turning and the scenery is captured from within
The young boy to Male Adult is a Greyhound Account Executive
Once again, engagement with a voice
The Adult male has found his purpose in life
His dreams throughout were the advice
How nice?
Dreams do come true, but only if you believe
This is how aspirations are received
The fact of the matter, imagine the inner and it will surface on the outer
A young boy doesn’t stay permanent, but an Adult male has on his mind to conquer and challenge the world of capabilities
Yet, it comes with responsibilities
The young boy listened to his dreams
The aftermath being the Adult male’s future of tomorrow
So no more picture this, but imagine that
There was movement within the fact
I hope you were able to keep track
Fulfillment struck

I am often discouraged and depressed
I confide in people, but they often could care less
I know prayer can change things
It’s Faith in Believing in bling
Heaven is truly our daily bread
Nourishment to the senses
But there is so much turmoil here in Earth
This is all happening on God’s given Earth soil
Corruption has stretched beyond one’s expectations
Too be honest, there would be many explanations

Revelation being the intervention
With the signs of the Lord’s coming, the world needs to pay attention
Salvation is our key to existence
But the Devil empowers in Faith resistance
Heaven sees Faith as present tense, but the Devil tries to override in past tense
How much more can the world bare?
What will be the response when Christ is seen from the air?
The world will be caught by an expected surprise
Puzzled faces reflecting on realize
But then, will it be too late?
Fate
I shatter to think
Caution and Danger all come together
But when it comes to salvation, the Faith Warriors have nothing to worry about
All it takes is praise and blessings of shout

Yet my heart still grieves for a world that is deceitful
But I do have Faith in the Heaven name
It’s Christ Jesus that shall remain
My open letter is not to clarify
But to encourage in giving Jesus a try
Your Faith will be stronger for thy
Praying with an always connection one on one
Hope is being in spirit and Faith strong in sustaining among.

DEBT FRENZY BEWARE
preservationman Nov 2021
The Holidays are steadily approaching
It’s all about Spent Spent and Spent
Shopping with no end
Credit Card Charges to the max
It’s a Financial Fact
No direct cash flow
Although
Credit Cards can fill in the gap
With credit cards, there is a cap
Santa would have to give me some cash
I could add my own stash
That would be a perfect gift from Santa, catch my drift
Buying this one and that a gift
But some people act like a sift
Now who I am buying a gift for I hope they appreciate
Otherwise, I will depreciate
I am already picturing my statement in advance
It will be over spent at glance
After the Holidays come to a close
I will be Broke
The Holidays are certainly no joke
I will be in Debt Detail
No pass, but a Fail
This is my moment of truth
It has nothing to do with youth
Budget that isn’t
Money that went
There will be no question in what did buy
I won’t even try
Shop until you drop
That message needs to stop
My credit card could kick me out of my own house
Thank you God I don’t have a spouse
My declaration from my credit card could say, “You have no room here”
So much for preserver
This year, I will try to cut my finances down
Then again, maybe I won’t be found
Spend only a certain amount
I want to see money in pocket where I have something to count
Debt goes on
Let me organize my money in how to get along
That where I truly belong
If you see me on the homeless street, credit card won and I am in defeat
Just walk on
So long

MY NAME IS DARING
preservationman Jan 2021
It was 1984 when I decided to vacation in San Francisco, California
It Toured Downtown and the Suburbs
But there was a port of San Francisco that Tour Companies wanted Tourist to avoid
So I wanted to explore why this specific area was off limits
I spoke to the Tour Escort, and he told me how I should dress
I had my Jean’s torn and everything out place and wore a Do Rag Bandana around my head
Yes head
So I ventured up to the area of question
No time to talk out in suggestion
Now it could have been my Death
Nonetheless, I had to see for myself
Because I am not like everybody else
Courage with assurance
No I wasn’t under the influence
I was in an Alley surrounded by Motorcycle Gangs had arrived
I acted tough
I even called their bluff
I was told by one of the Motorcycle Leaders, I didn’t fit in
But I was determined in not to bend and give in
I answered with a tough assured voice, I am here now and what?
I managed to survive
The experience being totally strive
As you can see, I lived to tell my ordeal
Oh yes, this story is true and for real
It was a reason to explore
I just couldn’t ignore
I am alive definitely for sure

Journey to anywhere
Having time to spare
The last moment
The thoughts of the beginning
Moving ever so to the ending destination
The destination is no specific place
From I-95 to I-80 being the trace
Vast countryside and farmlands
Scenery of the mountains seen for miles
All this while
Reflection back of my past life and what will be in my current
Those encouraging moments from advice
But my journey on being anywhere permanent
I am driving into my new horizon
Don’t know what to expect
It will either be promise or reject
My new Frontier
The thought of it makes me shed a tear
Perhaps it could be out of fear
There’s no telling where I will settle down
But now nowhere bound
I feel inspired smelling the fresh country air
The skies are fair
Wish me luck exploring within my journey
Hope I don’t run into my cousin Tennessee Ernie
There will be no return
It’s my destiny in what I discern

LOVE CHRONICLE
preservationman Nov 2021
There is talk of love
But why doesn’t love last?
What is love without a kiss?
What is compassion without true feeling?
It’s more than just being intimate
But the question is, can you honestly commit?
I want love that sustains
Fire with desire that remains
I don’t want to hear love me today
Then love walks away
Love takes two hearts
A golden paradise of essence
The beauty in being called love birds
Landing on the runway of solid love
It comes later with everything else to think of
Treat me right
I don’t want love to become a plight
I want my mind and soul to feel like a soothing moving stream
Love having true meanings
Honest, true and fulfilling
That’s my kind of love
Knowing I am loved and sharing love being to my personal admirer
Eye to Eye
I want to be that Enterprise
Let’s go where love has never gone before
I want our love to be sure
I don’t want to hear ignore
Love me like never before
Love on and make me feel I belong
Heart up
Ready for Love

IT’S TIME
preservationman Aug 2024
The Sun and Moon diminish
Darkness has come
Redemption no more
Thunder roars and Earthquake shakes
A world years of corruption
Never learned and always thinking Evil
Destruction mounts
Ignorance virtues
Echoing Souls
Heaven’s wrath
Questions with no answers
Fate turned to fear
Distant Justice
Times up
Pay the Price

HOUNDMAN COMETH
preservationman Oct 2022
A name not from outer space
Yet a name that will ever be erased
Greyhound Bus Lines is where the name originated in trace
It deprives from my devotion to the Greyhound name
On Target in aim
But it goes beyond all that
Follow me in the dialog track
My Commitment to model buses
It doesn’t matter if highway or transit
Connection fit
But I am more into Motor Coaches of the highway
My personal take away
My time as a Bus Historian
Vintage in my own right
A life of participation and appreciation
Fulfilled bus life
No advice
Structure and wheels
This is my big deal for real.
