RUNAWAY MAN
preservationman Jul 2018
Honey, I am going to the store for some cigarettes, and will be right back
Now one would have to follo2w the track
The man wanted some cigarettes to smoke
This story might sound like a joke
But it is true in nature
Now let me get back to my story
You could find the man at the EL Paso, Texas Greyhound Bus station
Perhaps a lot of speculation
Why was the man there you ask in indication?
The man was purchasing a One Way Ticket to Los Angeles
So Greyhound Bus 101 at Gate Number 2 was ready to board
Now continue on with me in this accord
As the bus pulled out from the Bus Station
A thought could be said, “On the road into a new venture offering behold”
Yet one would wonder, why Los Angeles being the destination
Could it be the Movies and Lights
Stardom in Hollywood being a celebrity sight
But the man was definitely on a mission is the only one that would know the reason
I don’t get into people’s business so I didn’t ask
However, it has been two days since the man left EL Paso, Texas, and I am sure his wife is aware her husband is not coming back
Or does she?
Yet I am sure his wife wants to know his whereabouts
Now this has become a questionable marriage with a bout
But the Greyhound Bus Cruising Man is continuing his journey in moving on
He felt his wife he didn’t belong
Now it will be a past to look upon
So Los Angeles a waits the man
The Greyhound Bus being his friend having its own caravan
So through the highways and byways
A journey with a new beginning
This story concludes until then another inning.

UNTIL TOMORROW WITHIN
preservationman Nov 2019
Sorrow not in my heart
Yesterday being totally complete
My intentions don’t involve deceit
But that was yesterday
Tomorrow being a whole new day to try
There might be disappointment and I may cry
But the tomorrow will be a mission to try
It will be a start until complete
No matter what, I will not give into defeat
The Motto is don’t get beat
Stay focused and don’t retreat
Tomorrow is just another day
It doesn’t mean I must go astray
Yet endure
My resolutions are my own cure
Tomorrow will be a sunrise to admire
So into tomorrow with expectancy to be golden
The wonder within the Holden
So tomorrow it is
Thus on my mind
Vision in wonder
A brief pause in the reflection yonder

IMMIGRANT FABLE
America the place
Ice feels immigrants should be erased
Lady Liberty welcome
Constitution says stay
Washington wants to put the immigrants away
Immigrants have a right
It’s turned into a plight
Immigrant’s rights went from bright to dark
Leaving a disgrace mark
They want to live and pursue
What are they to do?
The constitution is the thing
Washington wants the departure sling
America spells opportunity
The taste of prosperity
Immigrants dream of reality
Their America’s tomorrow is a morrow
Immigrants are distinguished
Desires and goals
America in immigrant hate
No appreciate
As Races we should all associate
We all have values and contributions

New beginning
Chance to advance
Immigrants alike
Immigrants tell Ice go fly a kite

Needing no depart
America is the immigrant’s stride
They have what it takes to survive

BLUE EYES
preservationman Jul 2021
The image of your face, Eyes and smile
I wondered during my while
You said me being a Poet and how my words captured you
My words went all through and through
Our loving came together like a full moon
I searched for a very long time for a female mate
Blue eyes when you came along it was pure fate
Your blue eyes caught my attention
It was like a Hawaiian night
My heart pounded with that very first kiss
I knew then I wanted you to be my miss
Blue eyes you are so down to Earth
I was enriched like a new birth
Oh Blue Eyes
You make me ever so wise
Our moments together are energized
Let us both journey together to the next level
It’s marriage on my mind
The house with you and I combined
Perhaps form our own family
You nourished my soul
You are my behold

Kiss me, you are my Queens and I am your King
Let’s embark into the love thing

Tacked situations head on
No choice just responses

A President’s way
Sits in the White House
A name I call “DIALOGUE”
Executive Orders here and there
A nation that doesn’t care
We the People who don’t want to represent
Can’t be quite it like a mouse
Wants to control everybody’s house
It’s hatred that he brings
Causes the nation to have a sting
Dialogue is the country’s frustration
For how long?
The economy that is not great
No terms of appreciate
Survival has become a task
No one knows how living will last
Expectation becomes damnation
Dialogue having no surprise

Extraordinary into possibilities
The thought of a TOY GREYHOUND BUS becoming visualization amination display
Movement and coordination at its best
Headlights that turn into eyes
Creation wise
Wink and Blink
Tires that maneuver upside down that compels the bus to rise higher
New heights in the lift
Color coordination interchange
The toy Greyhound bus becomes the rainbow of multi-colors with colors comprising with Green, Blue, Red, Yellow and ceramic citadel forms
It doesn’t stop there
Transformation into a walking Greyhound Dog along with the stretched Dog trademark
Robotic style features
Mechanical and Scientific
A toy Greyhound bus would never be the same
Innovation approach
Just imagine and embrace in the idea
Concept thinking in probability in what a toy Greyhound bus could become
Prospects endless
Realistic wise, no such real toy Greyhound bus exist
Mind discovery with action
Imaginary journey into contrast
Just imagine and see what the mind could create.

HUMAN OCEAN
If I was an Ocean
Tour my calm waves and feel the balmy breezes
Become at ease
Far and wide would be my waters
Water of reflections and see through bottoms
Breathless Visions would be what my ocean would be called
The welcome of all boaters and Surfers
Happiness throughout
Light houses alert during the uncertain eventful storms
Horizons as far as the eyes could reach
Education through my seas
Once again capture the breezes
Photographic moment
The Night stars and Moon crystalize my waters
Pure cool fresh ocean
Sea to shining sea
Everything added what an ocean should be
Embrace and let it be joy
Through my oceans, and buoys along my oceans
Sea life of splendid
Swim and observe as you enter
The aroma of my fresh water
Shear Delight
Just don’t swim at night
No lifeguard will be in sight

A day to celebrate
America’s Birthday was an illustrate
Battles past and present became wars
America has the wounds being scars
Yet Racism is a battle within itself
Felt near and far
From Towns to cities
Loss of love one’s always has a pity
Freedom for some but not for all
The voice for Freedom continues to be the call
Songs of God Bless America and America The Beautiful
This is what has kept America youthful
My Country Tis Of Thee
America rose from the ashes for all to see
It wasn’t easy, but became a determined task
The strength of a Nation
It’s America’s narration
The Statue Of Liberty stands for all immigration
Forefathers who gave a speech
We The People the declaration reach
America still stands today
Get in touch with your fellow American’s in every way
Happy Birthday America on this day
We are all proud American’s
Our love for our country USA in precision
So Red, White and Blue continue to protect and carry through
You are America strong
Your shine and light is your symbol alone
Now let there be a sing along
America, America
Stand in glory
That’s your story
Rise and continue to rise
Happy Birthday America due
Today well into tomorrow your promise
America Red stead, White seeing yonder and blue with a continued military mission to pursue
Stand Up and carry on
This is my America where I belong

A Death
No grave
No Funeral
Has a name
No arrangements pure lame
Family blame
Family don’t care
Soul still in the morgue
Laying in a dresser Freezer
Legacy spread out
A house still stands
Having no demand
A neighbor still has keys
Deceased house with a neighbor can enter as he pleases
A friend disturbed
What goes around comes around
Shocked in the details
The family failed
The person is a human being, and not garbage
There will be a haunt
Unforgiven

Through the mysterious
Open doors with no locks nor keys
Not a place
Not recognizable

The Enter is too nowhere
Far out within
Once you Enter, there is no way out
You have arrived
Can’t get out
Can’t yell for help, the walls are enforced against sound
All you can do is move about
Mind wonders
Eyes wanders
Nowhere through never was
Stumbled on something you never knew
Your curiosity wants to learn more
You know no more than you know now
You entered the portal of nowhere
Go through
Entered Trap
Caught and always will remain
Nowhere forever
Enter keep

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.

ANGLED SPOTLIGHT
Reality words
Standing alone
A story told
Woes seen
Between mysteries after another
Circumstances encountered
Down to broke
Pavement living
Cries full of desperation
Mistakes that were made
Gambling and Drugging
No excuses for actions
Time passed on and beyond
No Family nor Friends support
Lonely
All alone
Winters came
Shivering in the cold
Roasting in the summer
Begging to survive
Human rag thrown out
Life was no longer mine
Who was I?
An unknown on the streets
As I walked, a voice said “BE STILL AND WAIT”
I moved slightly, and the voice repeated, “BE STILL”
It was a human voice, but a spiritual one
I began to kneel, and gave praise to the Lord
Life was starting to change
One must believe
Blessings started to pour
My feet planted on solid ground of a new revelation
The discovery with an honor
Encouraging words so true being my follow through
Pavement no more
Living all assured
Divine goodness

POET’S ORDEAL
preservationman Jan 2023
Words don’t always come
Sometimes my mine is lonesome
At times Poets feel they aren’t Poets
Storms torment the spirit
It feels like a detour having a blockage
Emotions sealed like a hidden trap door
The battles between the words and sentences
No beginning. Nor ending
Sustain within
Loss for expression
One letter at a slow call
Unable to respond
Inspiration down
The Poet being nowhere to be found
Failure in own right
Poet relishing plight
The battle strong and intense
A Poet’s life could very well be past tense
Words missing the bull’s eye
All a Poet can do is cry
Letters from words
Mind and voice, we need to talk
Every pause is a Poet’s stalk
There must be a mindset
Writing is about creating the effect
Then something happens behind the Poet’s words
They construct
Suddenly encouragement comes from Poetry readers
Writing and sentences come back
The battle is no longer a struggle
Echoes comes to the Poet, “Come back to the writing saddle”
Be a Poet you are meant to be
Be committed and devoted for the world to continue to see
Poet in
Writing boldly out
Insight

Ashes into victory won
Through the academic years
The feeling of uncertain and fear
Here I am on graduation day being my personal preserver
The studies were hard and long
I wondered is higher learning where I belong
There were numerous exams
Research papers imaginable
I got through it all
The lectures were focused on concise being pure concepts
It was “MIND OVER MATTER” that become concrete
I listened because they will put value in what I will become in my endeavors in life
The Cap and Gown is ready
My move forward in stepping across the stage being presented my degree
My sacrifice for the hard work that paid off
Today is that day to embrace being honored as a graduate
Holding my head up high being the reason why in accomplishment
Being committed in the establishment
The handshake from the Institution President and the kodak moment
Thanks to your friends and family for the encouragement in helping you to believe in yourself like they believe in you
As you walk through those academic doors after graduation, your education is now complete, but always venture back in reflect on your success, and how the institution help you embark on the journey
Remember these words that shall follow you, “FULFILL AND CONQUER”

IF AROUND WHEN
preservationman Jul 2019
If I advised you to read
Would you proceed?
If I motivated you now
I need to give you encouraging words in how
Would you be able in Decision Making?
You would have examine in thinking while presenting
There will be a time in life for you to think
It might be documented for you in plain simple ink
It might be a possibility
Yet with clear thinking would be a motivation in movement in acceleration
Life doesn’t always offer appreciation
People can put you in condemnation
The whole concept is reality
Live your dream
Make your life of success being like a moving flowing stream
It’s not an imagination
It’s inspiration full of appreciation
It may sound like a contradiction
But remember, it is up to you in thinking like an institution
You have talent and you don’t even know it
Every day you function making decisions as they come, and that states talent and assurance of course
Your reading what I am stating and that means you are probably listening
In order to encourage others, you yourself must be inspired
Yet to inspire, you must reach learn before you enter teach
Your thoughts and ideas must be encountered in whom you want to reach
Here are some helpful words in the process called DEVOTED, COMMITMENT, ESTABLISH, IDEALISTIC and CONTINUOUS
In plan simple language, Start until finished
Life itself is never ending, but becomes finished once the hourglass says, you have completed your work
Walk and observe in taking your place in life
If uncertain in things, you can always get advice
But let it be a reliable source
Use it in your every day life as a resource
But be assured as you stay the course.

One by one from all graves will rise
Spirits will roam the streets

Blood ******* craves
No time to act brave
Boneless detail
There will be knocks at all doors
Dare not open

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

It’s the human flesh regret
Dare to cross

Add the sentences that will surface might
Perhaps mentioning the sunshine in how your thoughts came bright
It was during that very night

But you thought that this was nothing new
However, it seemed like it was a clue

Walking down the Great White Broadway Lane
The marquee street
That just came be beat
Some say I could be lame
The dialog of having pride
As the music started to pump up
A reason to sing came
Now hold your ears, they might pop
A dream came true
It was a wonder if I should pursue
It was years in the thinking
A one day to entertain
My inspiring heart that will remain
But there’s more
A need for Acting to explore
At some point, acting came to life
I succeeded without any advice
But it would have been nice
I alone with a multitude cast with sing and acting on the wide stage
Amazement
A dream began to unfold
Let me assure you, I didn’t need to be told
Just bold
My father was an Alcoholic all his life
Many days and nights, I would cry urging my dad to quit
Words of encouragement just wasn’t it
He would argue with me and stating he wanted to die
He didn’t want to live anymore
Never knew the reason
Eventually, he did pass away
I found out later that he felt like a failure being a father
Being an Alcoholic was not the way
It doesn’t end the battle, but keeps one fighting for more trouble
It’s like a constant fall with consistent stumble
Somewhere and somehow, dad is looking down on me
My dad in me is what people see
Legacy inclined
Stepping out on courage
Entertainment nourishment

Take a walk on your deck and take in that breeze
There will be stormy times
You will notice the thymes
You will get a push like a jolt
It’s your inspiration being felt
Imaging the sunrise in the distance
A calm sea of thought being the instance
You are Captain Poet and let your courage mount
It will become a word count
Poetry having its own lighthouse
The eyes that guide
The vision of composition in sight provides
The waves from the many piers
The encouragement stating have no fear
Be the Captain Poet in steering your way
Pursuing your destiny
The Sunset in knowing you maneuvered
No one can stop you now
Being skillful in knowing how
Anchors away
Keep your writing engines revered up and ready
Hold steady
This is your moment to getaway
Base your writing distance on your horizon
Carry on Captain Poet

HERE I AM LORD

Needing your guidance
Wanting your wisdom and understanding

I Bow

The uncertainty I feel
A tomorrow I don’t

Society speaks of another king
But I know you are the true and sustaining Savior
Foundation strong

SOONER THAN YOU THINK
The thought of Biblical Revelation
Voice of Prophecy
One twinkle
Time ever accelerating in revolving
Be ready ever so ready
Observe the signs
Watch as the clouds surround in formation
Pay close attention
The anticipation
Strong indication
The world’s fate
Kneel and pray before it is too late
Fulfillment on target
Brightness turns to darkness
The Thunder roars
Lightning flashes
The Almighty speaks
Tomorrow’s settlement
Buckle up for the journey
Moment of soon
The sun declines with no shine
Keep that in mine
Doom on the horizon
The stop watch carefully capturing the hours and seconds
Clocks will stop
Tick tack no more
Moment of truth
Steady at ready
Ready or Not
Sooner than you think.

DON’T STOP ME NOW
preservationman Jun 2020
The Constitution tells it all
The Documentation represents the call
It was written many years ago
But there are followers adding although
They are the one’s who want to change
Make the Constitution a total rearrange
But now some Police are getting in the act with Justice of their own
It has become a world affair full blown
It now a whole new level
It’s about holding Minorities down
Knees are used to keep Minorities bound
The pain of “I can’t breathe” being the sound
But we as Americans being a time to Rise Up in Race
Understanding and integrity is in all our faces
Our mission in Civil Rights shall not be an erase
Prove to me what crime I did commit
But does jurisdiction truly fit?
Civil Rights is nothing to take light
It’s like a Living Will in plain sight
2020 has become a year of agonizing unwelcomed plight
It doesn’t matter if it is Day or Night
American’s are the multitudes with might
No matter what the although think
The Constitution was written and signed into law being ink
No matter what the cost, this is a time to emphasize
Exercising one’s right in voice is energize
Spread the message in intensify
There is no reason to apologize
There is a commitment to live
It’s everyone’s soul in determination to give
Lead us too the high mountain
It’s full of inspiration and refreshing fountain
This is the time for all to come together as one
No need for separation, but be proud to be among
I am one of the Multitude’s
My life won’t be silent as an endless conclude
I just want peace with solitude.

THE NIGHT OF THOUGHT
preservationman Jan 2024
Hidden words
The thought within
Through the dreams of imagination
The vision of rivers and streams
Calmness and worry free
The moment to write
Poetry became the paper trail
Later, Technology fulfillment
It was night that woke me up
One word into sentences
Past instances
Survival chances
Endure and explore
A world I never knew
I knew what I had to do
Enrich in Poetry like never before
It was a message the night didn’t want me to ignore
Believing within
Words came and sentences developed
Heart full of intrigue
Movement was Proceed
Night of wonder and don’t be quick
Flow with the ideas, and let them stick
My time, the moment
Poetry changed my life
The night was my inspiration and my only advice
A night that was, and what was meant to be.

DARKNESS BLANK
preservationman Apr 2024
Trapped within a color shade
Pitch
Uncertain through the eye waves
Searching with no find
No glance of light
In a plight
Feeling here and there
Open space to nowhere
No touch to determine
Darkened journey
Thinking alone
No light
No sight
How does one fine their way?
Hoping and trying to grasp
There is no question for me to ask
In a maze
Loss not found
Widening directions
Can’t see anything
All amaze
Maneuvering about
Totally black
Imaging the moment if I was blind
Feeling a Blind person’s blow
I must take it nice and slow
Dark in and throughout
Darkness in control
Stuck in my own threshold
Like it or not
Darkness wins out
