Through the pages of circumstances
The experiences from past tense
Storms that remind
A world bitter and unkind
Clear skies sunny in between cloudy
Faces of distinction
Questionable of doubt
Had to mention
Words leading the way
Any Author’s gateway
The time spent to compose
Before and after suppose
The moment Arise
While sleep came a sunrise
A new day to fulfill while living among
Life doesn’t give you a choice, it’s a blessing
Lessons of survival
Sometimes show in a novel
Beyond words
Centered directly in the heart
Theory and concept
Effect and recorded
Author’s Diary Of Essence.

LET’S TALK BEER
SCHAEFFER BEER BREWING COMPANY, INC. iconic advertising slogan being “ONE BEER TO HAVE WHEN YOU’RE HAVING MORE THAN ONE”
The Schaeffer Beer man being my Grandfather who worked for the company 25 years as a NIGHT FOREMAN
A mover and shaker in results
My Grandfather was outspoken and didn’t play with his words that moved productivity in the Old Williamsburg Section of Brooklyn, NY
Nestled right at the river near the Williamsburg Bridge
My Grandfather took me on a tour once, and I met the staff he supervised.

I guess my Grandfather wanted to show off his Grandson
Inspiration in me is what determination satisfies
My Grandfather got things done
I am only sorry he is no longer among
He was a man of perseverance
My Grandfather was short, but don’t let his size fool you
Just like David from the Bible, no Goliath too big nor small would Intimidate him
As my Grandfather was capable and confident
He would have never retired, but SCHAEFFER relocated from Williamsburg to Allentown, PA

My Grandfather is my Hero
He taught me Typing and had me practice 4 hours every day
He even told me business principals and preparing for college
My Grandfather also had me incorporate words from the Thesaurus
Inspiration has followed me from then to now in my adulthood

Thanks to my Grandfather
There are times his wisdom guides me in assurance in carrying me through situations that I face
I owe my Grandfather the honor in my trace
Journey on in Heaven Pop.

SURPRISE POET WITHIN
Jolt of inspiration
A person wanted to be a POET
But didn’t know where to start nor how to show it
Words starting popping into the POETS head
Words becoming sentences
Showcasing the instances
Poet to be felt inspired
Didn’t want to tire
Discovery was desired
Words open up
Distance being Close
Farness wasn’t found
Alpha Nouns and Pronouns
A true Poet in the making blooming
Word flow
Couldn’t let go
The Poet saw purpose direct
His eyes showed obvious
Word mount
Like a watery fount
Theory and Understanding
Wisdom through experience
A Poet to be had became
The Poet did see
One must test the waters and try, but requires effort
Every commitment needs determined
This is how a Poet is acknowledged
The focus up close
Discouraged by most
Surprise, Surprise
The Poet learned the concept of realize
The Poet Within.
preservationman Mar 2020
Perhaps lost in space
Lost in time
Lost in appropriate words
A wonder if I am need to be heard
My tolerance level feels like a herd
Separation being my apart
As a Poet that is my start
Mysterious into the obvious
A galaxy unknown
Sentences in dazzling lights
But stuck in a pitfall in plight
A spaceful thought
A battle between the Milky Way mind and words in fought
Solitude beyond
Apart from my heart and soul in connection
Revitalized like a resurrection
As a Poet, there is a behold
I managed to compose, but that is a suppose
preservationman Apr 2020
This is something I need to share
While the world holds far, I hold close the Lord near
Yet I am weary and I get very teary
I am currently on a Temporary Furlough collecting unemployment
This life, there is really no enjoyment
I feel like I am in *******
In fact, it feels like being in hostage
I know I am not the only one
I feel my life is truly over and done
I think suicide throughout and don’t want to be among
Yet I know God is able
But it’s gets harder to be stable
I feel I am under punishment
I try to continue to put God as a commitment
But even with that, I am not assured
Yes, I pray and read the Bible in scriptures involving the Lord
But I am still not assured
I am a Born Again Christian and have been for many years
I still have no idea in these times in why I even still preserver
I know God is in control
Between Trump and the Media makes it harder to take hold
I am thinking at this moment to stop doing my bus dedication, writing which I enjoy
Perhaps I should be drowning with the outbound tide
Why should I live and even try
My inner soul right now is in a cry
I really need encouragement
Friends who I thought were friends don’t even call
I have been a true friend to all
However, I am not lonely
My tomorrow seems an end
I can’t even amend
Others constantly say I am blessed
But my mind says I could care less
Again, I need true encouragement
I need words that I can use to guide me
I know there is a world the Lord wants me to continue to see
For right now, I will just let be.

To Protect within anarchy rights
Strength being the force
Battle forming the course
A Castle nestled in Featherson Valley
Royalty having no alley

Battle until the end
A Warrior using the mighty sword
It is lifted up to the King Lord
The sword being a reminder
Talent in the skillful hands
It’s royalty in demand
The Warrior is at their command

THE CENTER OF THE STORM
preservationman May 2020
A story of a farm man
Acres upon acres of farmland in demand
A house that stood alone
A storm came up being unknown
Clouds gathered in a sudden darkness, which made the sun quickly disappear
Suddenly, the rain poured and flashes of lightning
Later, the Thunder added to the weather tumblence
Without warning,a  man at the farm center was struck
But miraculously, the man was only knocked down
However, a miracle seemed to take place
The man always complained about back pain
The pain was insane
But the man who had been struck by lightning, the back pain was gone
He was able to bend, twist and turn without any discomfort
The man had gone to the Doctor without any relief
In fact, it was pure grief
Right after the storm had passed, the man’s back pain was free
The Medical Doctor said they needed to operate, but he may not ever walk again
But notice operate
But once the storm came, the man got a spiritual healing from Surgeon, Dr. Healer and Finisher.

Brethren of men
Spiritual Warriors to the end
Biblical words in hand
Heavens oversee in look
Standing strong and able
Step by Step footprints firm
Spoken word
Wanting our voices heard
Devil to defeat
We are Warriors that won’t retreat

Wholly at the end
The battle with a mission
Armor ready in precision
Holding steady
God’s will
We just fulfill
Marching on
Into Heaven’s glory
Walking Warriors, our story.

WHAT MAKES A POET?
Portrait of their own words
The masterpiece being the sentences expressed
The need to tell
Organizing the words
Mind Thinker
What was said, and how it was said
Reader’s reaction
Journey through the Alpha Letter by Alpha Letter
Inner soul with an embracing spirit
Words just right
Artistry within
Purpose, Theory and Understanding
Courage to step out
Inspiration ranking high
Creativity like no other
Poets have their own style with words
Words unite
Imaginary, but not ordinary
It doesn’t matter what kind of writing nor when
Just write on
An inner Poet needing the emotion to come out
You are a Poet, but don’t want to show it
Put those words together, and let the world know it
Pure know how natural.
preservationman May 2023
Think before you write
You have been going through a plight
Yet your emotion will shed some light
Add the sentences that will surface might
Perhaps mentioning the sunshine in how your thoughts came bright
It was during that very night
You were alone
The sky was clear and full of stars
You visualized and imagined seeing Mars
The words held true
But you thought that this was nothing new
However, it seemed like it was a clue
I know now, it was writing for me to pursue

SHOWTIME
First time theatrical performance
I didn’t know what to expect
Wondering how the audience would react
Under the spotlight, I seemed to sweat
Nervousness running through my body
Will I remember my script lines
Don’t let nerves enter the mind
I must do my best
Think on it like passing a test
As I began to perform, my nerves had turned into confidence
Enriched energy full of endurance
I visualized my name on the marquee
A star to be and become
I followed the script without fail
I was definitely fit for the part
This is just a start
Remembering encouragement from family and friends
When the finale came
The curtain came down and back up
Loud audience applause
Took a bow
Even got a standing ovation
Audience approved
I am now more than ever enthused
Theatrical agenda, I am ready to further explore.

SLAVE SONG
preservationman Aug 2019
I smell Freedom
But I am living wisdom
The sun just leaves me warm
Humidity is high, but makes me hot
It doesn’t matter if the Slave Masters have a plot
Slavery is a like it or not
But God is my shield
His Heavenly Grace is for real
God’s goodness is my meal
I have been beaten and torn
My bruises feel like thorns
The Slave Masters are Evil with Devil Horns
Heaven sees and knows
My situation is going to change
Slavery will definitely have a rearrange
But I will cry out loud Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
Dignity I will sustain
My will in determination shall remain
Wisdom being thorough understanding
No matter what, my spiritual praise uplifted
Heaven being my prize
The Slave Masters shall realize
But Heaven is what keeps me energized.
Let me get out of New York
Bags are packed
Deportation fact
It’s time to leave
People of New York, don’t be deceived
I stood for come and all
It now is no more
Leaving the New York City shore
Enough is enough for sure
Getting out while I can
If I was deported, I would probably be sent to France
Fat chance
Hudson River is my escape to my own new world
History was
The Statue that was of the people
Constitution said
Fulfilled for years
Bags, we got a journey
The statue will now be cut down to a skeleton
Quickly leaving town
People beware
Embrace one another with care
It’s freedom for me
I can’t wait and see
Run Ms. Liberty Run.

Once upon a time
As I was sipping my wine
The clock struck 12
I saw with my own eyes elves
I didn’t know what to think
Perhaps I was thinking on a story I read in ink
But all during while
I knew this situation wasn’t my style
I tried to stand up
But felt back on my couch
I might have been drunk
But my mind is thinking, it is all bunk
Yet, the elves were surrounding me
At least that is what I could see
Maybe my mind was focusing on a fairytale
My wine could very well have been ale
But not in the ginger tense
Suddenly I began to drift off
Journey I was
Venture into the unknown
Land of where
But my mind was getting me nowhere
So my drift was into my bed
I felt asleep instead
The elves I didn’t remember
Perhaps I was somber
I am not going to even wonder

THE DEAD SHALL RISE
preservationman Oct 2023
October 30 Midnight
One by one from all graves will rise
Spirits will roam the streets
Flesh will be their avenues
Stars will hide and not twinkle
Blood ******* craves
No time to act brave
Boneless detail
There will be knocks at all doors
Dare not open
You have been warned
Death will come to living life
Take heed to the advice
Screams will be censored
Time will accelerate even faster with no reverse
Souls will walk and stalk
The Moon will smarter and disappear
Thrills and chills
Your body will feel uneasy and eerie
Temperatures will rise
Fright through the night
If you survive
Moments upon moments
No pause
You try to run
You get nowhere
Time is not your side
Tormented
Souls get what they want
It’s the human flesh regret
Dare to cross
Entered everlasting
Last breath
No chance
No escape
Death be upon you
Your grave is ready
Buried until
No longer among

Thank you for the new day to rise
Being a blessing to recognize

Show me how to encourage others
Uplift my soul in your good news
Embrace me in being inspired and enthused
When telling of your goodness, help me to speak of your truth
Surround me in your spirit in blocking the Devil out
Daily as I move about
Assist me in not letting the unbeliever to challenge me in refuse
You are my King and I am your devoted Servant
Heavenly Father, enrich me in daily Wisdom and understanding
Keep my Faith strong
You are my uplift
Deliver me from approaching evils
Help me stay away from questionable personalities
The get along spectrum
You are my purpose
Let my spiritual light be obvious
Let the unbeliever see in curious
This I pray
Heaven’s gateway
Assurance everyday
Everlasting among

The thought of their men
Love or hate pretend
Something wives don’t appreciate
A moment of now and then
Rochdale men question their own wives in no trust
Wives respond with “Do you love me and that is a must”
A talk with many unanswered questions
No concrete suggestions
Sometimes love visits and abruptly departs
Rochdale men and wives feel a sudden deceive
No more to give
Forming cheat
Defeat on top of defeat
No give in
Hearts blocked
Kisses locked
Rochdale wives uncertain
Men behind the closed curtain
Nothing is really certain
Love on hold
This is what Rochdale wives have told
Pause for now
Rochdale wives to where?
Not a care with nothing to share.

Dark Night
Write of Day
Words slurring
Sentences becoming like a black curtain
Certain not being certain
Night fright block

Word attack
Sentences attempting in fact
Alpha letter A being a fierce raging animal
Hungry for words to relief the craze
Beware what you read
It is up to you in how you will proceed
Letters at a time in big screams
The scene has been set
Thunder and Lightning making you scare
Beware
Unexpected could be your fear
The Devil wants to know you better
He wants Blood but less chatter
One bite to feel nourished
Devil teeth
No relief
The night of torment and no rest
No peace
Fiery on every turn
Suddenly morning arrived with a sunrise in sight
The Devil departed before the sun even started to come up
Non-existence
Beyond recognizable
No longer able
Darkened became humans rise

DAIRY OF A MAD BLACK MAN
preservationman Aug 2019
Riches he doesn’t have
Luxurious life he wished he had
A woman whose understanding
A relationship that is withstanding
A job that is fulfilling
Being a Black Man is like having a curse
All the negativity needs a reverse
Being a Black Man goes beyond fact
But that’s how society see’s the Black Man being exactly like that
It’s the Black Man in sorrow
It’s a wonder if the Black Man knows he has a tomorrow
Survival seeming like a war
Assumption having no ambition to go far
The Black Man is considered a nut
Yet, it is the Black Man stuck in his own rut
There is no theory surrounding but
The Black Man needs to build up his own self-esteem
It doesn’t require any Black Man to be mean
Society will never do
In fact, they don’t intend to
The Black Man has every right to be mad
But he should not be sad
The labelling has a following that has been said for years
The Black Man doesn’t deserve to preserver
It’s the Black Man that must always have fear
The society doesn’t want the Black Man near
The Black Man’s life is considered like a novel page tear
If the Black Man doesn’t exist, there is no missing page
In essence, the Black Man has a right to have rage
But the Black Man can change in life and rearrange
The Black Man has the power to repair with principles in amend.

Fossils and Dinosaurs roamed the Earth
Kings of their world
A world unknown
Life extraordinary
Museums with artifacts to show
Civilization of another kind
No cities, towns nor humans to be found
Vast land and trees
High Mountains
Time pages with documentation
Plenty of mysteries
Centuries old
The thought of behold

Explorations
Theories of possibilities
Statistics showing realities
A world of its own
Scientific approaches
Species understanding formation
History’s beginning leading to destruction
A world no more

The story of a sleep seen asleep
The same city full of life awake
The ever changing of the skyscraper landscapes
The words and sentences blend in with no pretend
Endless miles of a city being no end
Photographic instincts
But with beauty and contrast
It’s the words that bring any city alive being intrigued to last
Turning with varying angles
A fruit stand man selling refreshing mangles
A city that doesn’t seem to age
However, it is the assortment and lights that always seem to amaze
A photo shot here and there
But it is the writer beyond compare
Smile, I captured the moment, and could be Candle Camera
But words that stood out with this title, “Any City being for sure, but it is the photo’s that standout being center core”
Show me the words, and I will illustrate a city that many only heard about
Photogenic, you have to be in it
So continue to stand tall all the skyscrapers in the world
It doesn’t matter if it is downtown, midtown or anywhere in between around town, it’s the words themselves that add to the marvel sight
However, it is the night where the skyscrapers shine bright
Flash here and click there

War took place
It wasn't a warrior war
It was a struggle of two hearts
Together became separate

The storm of two minds
Don't speak
Retreat
My mind is starting to grow weak
The emotions have no thought
Standing alone tormented
Leave me
My sunset has settled down
Don't look for me as I can't be found
Path's go in different roads

RISE TO INSPIRATION

Displaced from a company doesn’t mean your life ends
It does mean take control of your life with a flair for being on the move again
Achievement and Accomplishment spells success
Now that is something everyone should be proud to digest
You proved learning and knowledge do work together
Some may have years, and others have less, but continue in perseverance and endurance
Who says one should be still?
You only pause for a moment
Let your mind explore move you into another opportunity
It could very well be in your community
Focus on what you have achieved
Plan a strategy in what your career goals you perceive
Emphasize your talent strength
Analyst at every length
Reach new heights and rise
Your life will enterprise with fulfilling inspiring surprise
This is not a time to focus on wonder
It is a time to look yonder
Displaced is not a fail
You proved you made your mark by having a successful trail
God has a plan
He will be your Counselor being at his command
So be inspired still
Show your courage at will
But this is my concluding bill from a Well Known Philosopher, Roy T. Bennett, “Make Improvement not excuses”
You are now encouraged
Now extend your steps in having courage

STRANDED

Stranded and alone
It happened at a Rest Stop
Travelling on a Motor Coach Bus
I wasn’t paying attention
The bus left me and I was stranded
I was nowhere near any town
I was going it alone being nowhere bound
My clothes were on that missed bus
My mind wants to curse
But it was my fault so why fuss?
So I have no changing clothes
My only plan is to hitchhike
At least my thumbs are in good shape
You hear all kinds of mysterious hitchhike stories
I don’t want to become a statistic
At least I am being realistic
So I am starting to walk down route 15 under the night skies
Yet this lesson has taught me understanding and thinking wise
At least it is a clear night
The Moon is ever shining bright
But no movement of anything in sight
Total darkness with no lamp and flashlight
I could very way be loss
But that is the price one pays when you get stranded
Destiny looks farther and farther
Reality check is starting to settle in
If I were to tell my story I wouldn’t know where to begin
Now I am stranded and alone
Nowhere bound
Surrounded by peace with no sound
Will I ever be found?
A Trailer Truck cruising and I am flagging him down
I don’t know if I will ever arrive at my destination
But you see my dilemma as my presentation
I did get your attention
I am walking down the road under the guidance of the moon
Morning will be coming soon
So into an uncertain path
Walking with surviving in mine
The beginning in the after
Journey on into journey’s end

Let truth sat your free
Lying is your hidden trait from the truth
You cheated on the test
Yet you won’t even confess
You cheated on your wife
Now you are expecting advice
You have a hidden past
Your lying won’t continue to last
I need you to be truly honest
There is a witness
Your lying must stop

Every word that comes out of your mouth spells deceive
Your lying is your true perceive

I must have endurance and assurance in don’t stop
It will take patience and skill
But let me add having a strong will
So why am I standing still?
My mind says move
My body says what do you aim to prove?
It’s a matter in having faith
Inspiration at heart
Determination to coming from the valley to climbing in reaching the mountain top
I am that individual at the valley’s very spot
It’s a thought whether I like it or not
But nonetheless, coming out of the valley I will, but now with the swiftness having time to fill.

He was a true believer and achiever
I had the honor and pleasure to meet Mr. Earl Graves Sr. often as it was at that time occasionally we would be in the elevator at Macy’s Corporate where he would be attending regularly the Board Of Directors at the Herald Square Flagship Tower
He would sometimes say Hi and other times nothing at all

FREEDOM TRAIL
Civil Rights fight is where the need for freedom began
An end
Society says Race once again
Thrown in the face
The upward battle
No settle
The Blockade
No sitting in darkness under a shade
No hidden words
Having a mind to excel
The need to prove
Inspired and determined to move
Don’t need permission
Created from above
Freedom to think of
Society doesn’t want races to interrelate
There is a purpose to associate
The look of hate
No appreciate
Forefathers fought then and legacy continues in protest
Rebel ringing through the air
Society doesn’t care nor are fair
By any means necessary
Shout and speak making awareness as an outcry
No stand by
Freedom is a must to try
Look hatred in the eye
I am the who and not the why
Can’t be silent because I shouldn’t
Determined with desired words
The need to be heard
Look at me and see
My own means necessary
The theory with a story
Freedom will be my glory.

HIGHWAY WELCOME

Bags packed
Travel on track
Destination anywhere Bound
Adventure rush sounds
It was the Greyhound Bus
Stretched Dog on bus both sides
The journey it will provide
Settled in my reclined seat
Total laid back
The air conditioning was fine
The Driver announced stops in route and final stop at the end
Travel had begun
Highway to Highway
Off Ramp adventures
Around the bend
Scenery upon scenery
Bus conversational friends
Journey far
Relaxing being better than driving a car
Friendly faces and places
The greyhound bus bringing Major Cities and Towns close
Friendly highway waves
One the road again and again
Greyhound bus headlights cutting through the night Fog
All night Sleep
The Sunrise
Destination soon
Arrival at noon
Highway off ramp
Just around the corner
At the Greyhound Bus Station
So long

FOREFATHER’S VOICES
preservationman Oct 2024
Everyone needs to vote
No Joke
Our Democracy depends on it
Truth in the hearts
Promise to our lives
If we don’t stand for privilege
We are not representing America
Our Forefather’s cry out, “America, take your place and don’t stall
Vote being the call
We can’t let our lives go dim no end
Vote is the start
We can’t afford to let the constitution depart
Vote is the necessary voice
Your movement makes the mark
Make our Forefather’s proud
This is your opportunity for all American’s given the time allowed
Make every minute, hour, second and moment count
Vote and spread the word
Let your desperation voice be heard.
