SLAVERY JOLT
preservationman Nov 2024
Sacrifice
Words unspoken
Discipline power
Hour after hour
Tormented morning, noon and night
Moments at every length
Bitterness and anger
Rebel thoughts
Pain until blood torn
Wounds with ashes like scratches of scorns
Separation parted
Education with knowledge not
Prayers to heaven for a revelation
Music and Dance in praise
Plantation fed up
Slavery full of Slattery
Year after year
How much longer?
Finally, Freedom mounts
The years to count
The sound of freedom that was
Heaven’s rebirth into a new nation.

DON’T CRY FOR ME
preservationman Jan 2023
My Funeral is here and now
Your tears aren’t sincere
You are full of guilt
You really didn’t care when I was living
You are probably glad I departed
You are only at my Funeral just to see for yourself I am truly deceased
Friends and Family in pretend
My final chapter came to an end
Don’t look down at me in the coffin
There was no love for me on Earth when I was living
I am flyting in spirit like a Dove
Heaven is my new home
Peace and comfort to roam
Time moved on
I am where I belong
My days on Earth meant nothing
I gave my all on Earth
The world took my life for granted
It meant nothing

Angry waves within the Heaven strive

But in any storm, this is the norm
The Pacific Cove Lighthouse always has a rotating spotlight in don’t be alarmed
Lighthouse to every ship
Let my beam be your guidance every step of the sea
It’s about survival the way it should be

The sea might be referred to as an ocean
No matter what, it’s all water
All in that order
Pacific Cove isn’t a name just made up
Its determination and target encouraging ships in never give up

TOMMOROW’S OFFSPRING
preservationman Jul 2019
What is tomorrow?
A question that would often be answered the next day
But the thought is not wait for tomorrow what you can accomplish today
Your many objectives in life are delayed because instead of thinking today, you are concentrating on tomorrow
Yet, do you have your agenda for tomorrow that is come?
Today could have been that very opportunity
Yet put meaning in your life with a purpose
Just like your ideas come to the surface
Let’s don’t forget fulfillment
That fulfillment is a commitment
What do you want tomorrow to bring?
Hope, Peace and Prosperity
But that could also happen today
You would be waiting for tomorrow to make a change
However, you have the power today to rearrange
Tomorrow will be calling, but are you ready to answer?
Tomorrow could be your very day to succeed
But today wants you to proceed
Life has many choices in making your objectives
The key is don’t get discouraged in fed up
It doesn’t matter if you are seeking a business, but the thought would be what kind?
Perhaps you want to enter Theatrical, but preparation is in order
In order to achieve in life, one be enhanced in knowing what you want your objective to be
But live that today and not tomorrow
Resources in knowledge are your supplement
You turn your spotlight into insight
The mission is take the course
You are your own Judge in what you construct in life
The spokesperson is you
Now that will be something for you to think through
How will you accomplish that?
Mapping the idea like a blueprint in building something
Like a Skyscraper, think tall and high
Think ahead to your future that would be tomorrow on today
But your life is now you chose
Don’t let anyone interpret in making you confused
Life will definitely show you the way
It will be a survival guide in telling you don’t go astray
Make it your chance
Be confident in your stance
Now I have alerted you well in advance.

THE UNTHEATRICAL SCRIPT
preservationman Nov 2019
Love was in the air
But throughout, a surprise preserver
My Female Friend is a Broadway New York Actress, and she asked me if I would help her with a script
But how fit
I used to do Theatrical in Pennsylvania
So I agreed, and we went over the script
It was reading the lines in words and sentences in theatrical ways
But the script seemed to offer romantic strays
It was full of detail
Now follow the trail
We both were getting into the script being dramatic
But our responses were systematic
Love was starting to take effect
The Script seems to set the mood
I felt there was something I had to prove
I became enthused
Suddenly our script reading together became more intense
Guess where I went?
Gave a kiss on my Female friends lips
Then got on one knee, and popped the question of, “Will you Marry Me?”
My Female friend said yes
But we were the only two Guest
But let me be straight up
This wasn’t a true story
I just wrote what was in my head all in its glory
So I was enchanted thinking love.

Lurking fright
You wish you could disappear
Fear accelerating near
Possible victim
Halloween vibe
Perhaps jive
It really doesn’t matter
Your teeth are in chatter
Hungry treat
Tricks up the soul’s sleeves

Moans turn into yells
Midnight with the ringing of Death bells

BLACK MAN PORTRAIT
preservationman Apr 2024
You must see beyond the portrait smile
Struggles while
Life’s battles
Survival’s wonder
Separation between Life and Death
Black Man always standing tall, Head up and Chest out
Black Man’s stature
Human wars
Ashes of devastation within the heart
Blockade from closed and locked doors
Misunderstanding world
Centered with no attention
Lesson of wrath
Put down with not wanting to be around
A Black Man allowed what the world allows in his thinking
Threat with no ambition
Standing on promises, but no sound permission
The black man cries in wanting to be accepted and living among
A boundary line between Hate with no love
Options left, right or back but no forward
Opposition block
A Black Man being a man doesn’t stop, but sees fate as a learning tool having understanding
Spoken tongue forbidden
The Black Man’s thought, “Where is it ridden?”
Treason placed on the Black man
It’s a no stop and be inspired still
A Black Man has his own achievements to fulfill
Standing on principles and maneuvering through obstacles
Anguish through temptation
Being Black is the only representation
Scars and wounds the black man has carried for years
It’s the legacy voices that say preserver
Family values and virtues
Black Man Humanitarian
Created and centered for responsibility
Black Man being his own man
Not what the world expects nor sees
Won’t step back, but only reflect
God’s creation that became a sensation
A reason to live
Embrace in the fruits of the land
Black Man portrait

I am surrounded by Doubt
Voices keep talking to me in my head that everything will be worked out
I am in shame
Perhaps, I should take full blame
I am a loser
Evil
If Death was to come, I wouldn’t be surprised
Destroy me, I have no need to rise
I have fallen, just leave me there
The Sun turned black
I have no reason to turn back
My heart is torn apart
Tears after Tears mounting
I am in desperation
I am between separation
Money doesn’t know me
Riches are only dreams
Speculation with Assumption
I never existed
Weathered fiery storms
Forget me always
Loss within my own ashes
Dust never cleared
Wonders with unanswered questions
My hand stretched to the Heavens, but I am not worthy
Alone and Despite
Everlasting is my finish
Finale chapter
I disappeared

THUG MOMENT

The San Francisco feel
Being a **** for a day being real
It was an experiment I wanted to try
I see puzzled faces with the reason why?
I was on vacation and touring the Frisco city with tour group, and I asked about the area the tour company wanted to avoid, the escort said to me don’t go up into upper Market Street
Now for me, I know that wasn’t a San Francisco treat
I asked the Escort in what was wrong with the area
The Escort spoke without hesitate, “Motorcycle Gangs”
I wanted to venture up
I wore a Bandana around my head with ripped up jeans, and clothes beyond my nature
I was going to become my own scene
So I became a ****
But at least no dared to mug
Once I arrived, I was in a lonely alley
Suddenly, Motorcycle gangs approached from everywhere
I started acting tough and becoming a diehard ****
I called their bluff
I was told I didn’t belong
I didn’t have to rubble, but I did get along
So the **** in me with the Motorcycle Gang I did see
I saw the big side
I did not run and try to hide
I let my instinct provide
Later, I went back to myself in abide
So San Francisco was my grain of salt and stride
A vacation to remember, but I am slumber

Not your usual
Not uncommon
The once upon a time
That line might be fine
Love of the heart at times being kind
A glass of wine being a story added divine
Line by line
Word by word
The distance between what happened
Extending to
Thinking through and through
Perhaps a notion having a thought
A pass dream remembered
Caught in a nightmare trap
Storms that became violent
One pause of silent
A past wonder
Sunshine suddenly appeared yonder
Emotions opened up
Joy prospered
Expiration had no tire
I know, but questioned
Opinionated but was a suggestion
Inspiration rang like a Philadelphia Liberty Bell
That moment, I felt like William Tell
I can do this
Encouragement spoke
Proceed told
You are mighty and bold
Heaven’s hand your threshold
The story within a moment’s notice of time
The life being mine.

CONCLUSION WITH A BEYOND
preservationman May 2019
I am planning my Retirement from Macy’s Corporate
My Manager seems to think I don’t want to retire
But there will be an expire
I will have something to do during my time
I have written a book titled, “BEYOND” being my personal Memoir highlighting my life from the Past to the Present
It’s my focus of my represent
The book is currently and has been finished in manuscript form
I had a Publishing House and Literary Agent, but they couldn’t do what I needed done
So I fired them since I worked in the Publishing Industry within the Promotion/Advertising Department
Yet when I retire that will be one of my many ongoing projects
I will be going the Self-Publishing Route

But my plans to retire spread around, Greyhound Bus Lines, Inc. asked me to work for them when I retire, and I said yes
I will be a Greeter/Host on the Customer Service Line at the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal
But notice
There seems to be a connection
Notice a Retirement from one moving into another, but my book titled “BEYOND” into a journey of another venture with a conclusion from one and establishing in continuing on
So the title fits
There isn’t really a quit.

Once upon
A clock
Behold
Midnight special
Centerpiece
Right in the square
Beware
A Thief struck during the night
The clock had been stolen, but out of sight
The wonder became who and how
The citizens thought oh wow
Everyone was horrified
Some were even petrified
The clock was the attention of the town
Distance far enabled from surrounding communities
Swiss time town was about unity
The clock made Swiss Time Town famous
Acknowledgement
The question that came up was why was the clock stolen?
The clock had value in the hearts of the people, and meant everything to the town’s people
The Thief saw fortune
The long hand made the short hand into a theory
But it was still a mystery
Search after search
No find
The Thief was certainly not kind
Without a visual clock, what will happen to Swiss Time Town?
Moments are ticking, but no sound
The clock is nowhere to be found
The town got together and started connecting to each other in song and inspiring themselves
Until the clock is found being a if and when
What will the town people do until then?
It’s not a time to be discouraged, but embrace one another
Suddenly without warning, the clock appeared back at center in the square as if the thief had a heart or the singing touched the soul of thief
Swiss Time Town relief
Tick tock
The sound of time
Hope came alive
Strive
How about that?
Centerpiece of tranquil
Acceleration will
Happily ever after

COMMON SENSE BLITZ
preservationman Mar 2022
How do you respond to situations?
First thing you do is analyze
Explore what the situation looks like
Then utilize the possibilities of what might
That is work or not
Throughout the whole process is common sense
College knowledge doesn’t teach that theory
Some might see common sense as a mystery
Yet common sense is simply good judgment in practical matters
What makes sense in how one sees situations
Common sense is a trait that everyone is born with
It’s a tool being the element of the mind
Defining the problem and resolve physics
It’s like a Math Equations and seeing the formation in what is needed
This is how common sense comes into play within life
Do people always use common sense?
It depends if one is thinking doing careful analysis
But it can become give or mistake
Common Sense can be thought as a scientific approach
It’s the mind pondering in how to respond to specific matters
It’s that moment propelling you to think
It’s nothing written in ink
Common Sense is what it is
A push in wanting you to respond and knowing the answer to impact conclusion
Common Sense being regular
Sometimes Common Sense can become peculiar in one’s actions in responses taken
Sound solutions
No illusion nor confusion
The mind thinking unison
Targeting
Thorough resolutions

THE WITCHES DEN
preservationman Apr 2020
Come a little closer
I have a story to tell
It was a Witch who casted a spell
The ironic is only time will tell
Ever after into the known
It was way in castle nestled far in the woods
There were evil guards in how they stood
A Witch with a twitch
An Evil Woman who was more powerful than a light switch
The broom was the Witches ride
Suddenly there was no place to hide
The Witch with magic beyond any excitement of a theme park
She flies through the air
Her mission is to put fear and scare
So welcome to the Witches lair
The Witches powers don’t come from her hair
Far away in a distance time, deceased descended that the Witch will be cursed and the decree can never be reversed
That was the mysterious from way back when
But for this Witch, is there an end?
Powers for every hour, moment and eternity
Hot and heavy like an urn
The Witch continued in her wicked ways
Be alert and try not to wander away
You have been warned on this very day
The witch could have a spell on you
It is done, and you are the Witches pursue.

CORONAVIRUS NO LONER
preservationman Mar 2020
Coronavirus that took control
It involves the world as a whole
People are catching it in large numbers one by one
I wonder if this coronavirus will ever get done
For the lives of people, this isn’t fun
In fact, many have died and will continue to die not being among
A little history, the coronavirus has been around since 1965
That’s real being no jive
Through this crisis and all, it’s a time to pray
Be consistent in every way
It may seem like a strong sting
It’s Faith that stands being the thing
Social Distancing and not be close
The only way this coronavirus is going to disappear
We must stay home and not come near
Be safe and well
Only time will tell

NEW YORK IDOL
preservationman Aug 2019
Singing voice be ready
Dancing feet hold steady
I am confident being ready
I want my talent to become fame
Spotlight Center Stage being my aim
I hope I can impress
I also hope the audience will appreciate and not say they could care less
I am picturing myself on the Great White Broadway
I see myself in a musical with dazzle and sizzle coming together in harmony
Then there is the raw of the audience with a thundering applause
It could even involve a holiday number that could include Claus
I sang and I danced
This is an opportunity being a chance
Then there’s perfection in how one entertains going into advance
But first before I reach that point, I must the Judge’s attention
After all, this is my organized presentation
Pitch must be just right
I will be nervous, but must step out of stage fright
Let me perform showing excite
I am asking the Judge’s to be honest, but try to be polite
I do need encouragement, and I won’t take it light
This is New York City where entertainment always shines bright.

MY LADY
preservationman May 2021
My Lady My Lady
I showed you I am a true man
You don’t find many within the land
That kiss was enforced through you giving me courage
It was fullest
What’s love without romance?
It all comes from the heart
My heart had direction
You are my Lady of affection
The emotions I felt
You gave me character
Your heart was my open door to enter
Enchanted beyond
You are definitely someone to look upon
Love you even more than ever
Thank you my Lady

WITHIN THE WALLS
preservationman Dec 2024
Feeling impacted
Nowhere to turn
Walls that extract
Cries upon cries
Tears of No
Understanding the situation
Wonders through wisdom
Mind on Theory
Determination in overcoming
Binding feel
Circumstance being real
Walls like a Mountain
Challenger and Conquer fears
Walls that center
Forced to enter
Victory in maneuver
The Breakthrough

SOUL’S DEPARTURE
Souls after souls have descended
Heaven’s call
The Risen
Far beyond the skies
Everlasting Rejoice
Human naked eyes won’t see
Above Earth
The creation
Took up their cross and journeyed to the Pearly Gates
The enter
The welcome
Angels orchestrated
End of pain and sorrow
Tomorrow at last
Frontier soar
Horizon in the blessing
Until the next meet

YOU ARE NOT ALL THAT
preservationman Jan 2019
So you think you are all that
For the moment let me retract
You see me and think I am nothing
But what you don’t know, I have a base
Its called respect face to face
I have achieved in life
I don’t need anyone’s advice
Accomplishment is a given right
I don’t have to cultivate nor be polite
I am a person who was created from Heaven
I am the blessing behind the praise
Wisdom and Understanding that came from the amaze
While you think you are on top of the world
It’s Heaven that makes my spirit and inspiration swirl
My knowledge is from the Holy ONE
This is what makes me stand out and being distinguished among
You on the other are loss in the crowd trying to find your way
But I am guided above and have direction without going astray
So no need to be on your high horse
Remember being a snob a horse can rebel in force
Keep you nose straight being parallel with respect
That sophistication has no elect
It shows mannerisms that fall under reject
You are not better than me
Don’t be a show off for all too see
Be a person who is satisfied with a positive vision
Have thoughts that are within reason
But always remember, “You are not all that until God makes you all that”.

LOSS, BUT FOUND
preservationman Feb 2023
Once was loss, but now found
Hear my praise with a loud sound
Among being alive
It’s a blessing of strive
Tomorrow and moment is never promised
One must be honest
Blessings don’t just come, it must be deserving
You must have true Faith and hungry for a spiritual serving
The Lord is our rock
The world is his flock
The Cross is his uplifting symbol
We are his creation
We represent throughout the nation
Blessing from his mold and behold
We walk and embrace in his grace
As a Believer, we are in a race
Heaven bound
We shall be lifted up.
