WICKEDVILLE
preservationman Nov 2024
Voice of spells and havoc
A broom that takes flight
Observation sight
All delight
Turmoil with no Lestoil
Devil Witch
Fine body twitch
Several magical powers at her disposal
Beckoning calls in spell transcends
A witch with no end
Never pretends
A Wicked Witch
In the air a Witch who lurks
Progressing her own perks
One spell causing dilemma
Broom forward ride
The Witch taking it all in her stride.

A MOTHER’S BOND
preservationman May 2020
Being strict to reinforce
Life’s education in the child staying the course
A Mother’s job not 9-5
Mother’s are just plain unique
Responsibilities from the get go
Mother’s are the spotlight in the child in show
A child depends on the Mother even when they cry
But the through the encouragement in life for the child to try
That’s a reason a Mother being a Mother
It’s all love that the Mother can smother
There are many child problems to solve
This is the Mother stays involved
Mother’s get No salary Nor raise
But they take responsibility and deserve praise
At times when the child does wrong, Mother’s can get furious
Mother’s want their child in life to stand and be strong
Yet instilling in getting along
Mother’s do chastise
But it’s about discipline and becoming wise
So Happy Mother’s Day I want to emphasize

YOU’RE A YANKEE
preservationman Mar 2024
Far up North
Authoritative views
I am an Old Man living in the South
You haven’t seen what I experienced
Unusual to your young mind
I am known as Stanley Confessing Miller
Lived in Patchin, South Carolina all my life
My Log Cabin is way in the woods far from the eyes to see
It is actually what is left from my days I still remember
Sit down Young Fellow and let me tell you the story of my South
It was during the war of the North and South
Bloodshed everywhere
I witnessed my own parents gunned down, and the town was burned down
At least what is left
I was a little tot then, but the memories live on
My tears would often flow in knowing I am alone and the only survival
How I survived, God only knows
Every day is a reflection
I don’t want to remember, but have too
My heart often beats then turns to rapid in the occurrence that really happened
The bitterness I feel and the pity thereof
I am old and weak
My time comes quickly
The Kingdom is calling for me
My room is ready
My eyes are steadily growing dark
My soul is ready to depart
My sleep will soon be an up rise
I will be in Heaven’s realize
Oh South my South, What the North has done
This will be my last among
My moment the final time
Remember this Old Man young fellow
You will once get old, and have your own stories to share
Always have a care
Life won’t always be fair
Be blessed with a life beyond compare

A GHOST IN PARADISE
preservationman Sep 2020
The air might feel eerie
A night full of uncertainty
I only walk in the spirit
Perhaps it is my own merit
I was killed in the flesh for a crime I didn’t commit
My death was the answer in being it
Now I have decayed with no flesh left
I rose during a full moon
No, this isn’t a time of an Earthly doom
I rose from my tomb
The one’s that killed me when I was in my flesh thought
I was Evil and full of deceit
Yet it was a crime I didn’t take
I got a retreat
My soul is still at rest
Yet I am walking, but no one can touch
I am the living spirit
I am glorified
But when others see me they will be petrified
I won’t harm
I walk in peace
Heaven is my roam
I am in paradise
I only rose to give you advice
Live your full life out
Wisdom will help you maneuver about
Life at times will feel like a challenging bout
But you will understand later
I must return to paradise
Take in my advice
Don’t be callus and let your heart be cold as ice
Show respect and be nice

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.

Fear can play on the mind having that affect

Frightened beyond scare
Continue walking if you dare

So look for me on my return

Uncertain through the eye waves
Searching with no find

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

ADVENTURE EAST TO WEST

It was September 1983 being an autumn call
I am looking into my crystal ball, and it states it was a vacation with no stall
It was a Coast too Coast journey on a Greyhound Bus
My trip started from New York City too Los Angeles, California
I leaned back in my reclining seat
The Hound Bus with pictured windows made the scenery look ever so neat
This trip was definitely going to be a treat
It will be scenery that traces back in America’s history
Stories within stories
Majestic being gothic
There were Rest stops with arrivals and departures from Major Cities and towns
I am West Coast bound
4 Days exactly being the sound
I am writing my travel log
My journey involved high places such as Mountains and tunnels within the mountains
The beauty of the sunrise behind the mountains, and the sunrise adding energize to rise
My thought being, “This is how the West was won”
Venturing into the nothing more than the open road, and wide with acres of land space
It was various highway routes
Getting ever so close to my destination
Each state telling me, and here is your presentation
All that from my Greyhound bus Thru Coach
I witnessed Rocky Mountain high
The start of Colorado
My mind focuses on an old song, “Rocky Mountain high” by John Denver
It was sight before my eyes, the magnificent city of Los Angeles
Hollywood’s call
I did tour all
Adventure was the moment
The action was exploring in the movement
The Hound bus to return back East later
But for me, this is a vacation being a feast

A smile that would make the Moon grin

He died three years ago
I didn’t take his death well when I was told

It’s hard when you lose someone close
Mr. Greene is worthy of my boast
He was like nobody else
He had strength to turn a small rock into pebble pieces
Yet, had strength in character
Franklyn Greene was my biggest fan and always gave me inspiration.

Mr. Greene would often say, “I have seen you grow from teenager to a Man”
I am proud in who you have become
You believed in yourself, and he always believed in me
It was Franklyn Greene’s assurance and influence that I began
To believe in my own purpose in life
Fulfilling my dreams that became realities meant to be
Strong Man
Mr. Greene was always full of encouragement
My destination surfaced through the morning sunrise surpassed Beyond the sunset.

Life can be funny at times and complexed
It’s the hard knocks being the learning experiences through the pitfalls in making one strong and making one’s life complete

You are looking down on me with giving me an applause

Through rain and storms

Not be eaten by another

Maneuvers in coordination
You will have no forms of communication
You either must become a sensation
Prove yourself worthy in appreciation
The sole survival
Otherwise, you will be remembered as the life that was and a memory that tried
Set your pace
This will be like a race
Survive or not.

An Old Man was my inspiration
The Old man being my Grandfather
The reason why I bring him up, because his legacy became me being an Achiever
It was those four hours in typing lessons
It was for future business preparations
But this was when I was 15
My Grandfather had me pick a word from the dictionary, and incorporate sophisticated words into my vocabulary
No way do I want to sound contrary
But my training went beyond that
My Grandfather also prepared me for what it would be like in College
He gave me lecture styles the way Professors do
But my Grandfather was trying to built up my intellect and self-esteem
My Grandfather was determined for me in not working hard in life the way he did
Yet my Grandfather wasn’t finished with me yet, he had me train and practice playing the *****, and later had me professionally instructed by two people, Female Opera Singer and Professional Concert Pianist
Let’s say, music to my own ears
So that was my past learning lessons being my personal confessions
Thanks Pop
You are no longer around
But I keep your legacy in me making the sound
You often would say, “You are going to remember this old man”
Why not, I am his number one fan
You helped me achieve

I WATCHED
I watched you grasp for air
You fought and fought hard
I felt helpless
I wanted to help but didn’t know how
Your hospital monitors were going crazy
I wanted to cry but couldn’t
It was like voices in my head saying shouldn’t
Witnessed your agony and pain
Tears wanted to fall
I held back
Your eyes and body went into a seizure
I knew from within
You would be leaving this Earth
Suddenly your body went lump
I felt your leg and it was cold
Your eyes were closed and then totally breathless
You got your heavenly wings
I cried uncontrollable
Into the skies your soul soared
You roam now in the ever after.

FISHERMEN OF THE SEA
preservationman Jun 2024
Men on a boat
The drift and the float
Looking for a fish
Serving as a Dinner Dish
Focus is the Fishing Rod
Adding the Bait
Hope for a catch
Suddenly a bite
Reeling in the Fishing Rod
Pull after pull
First catch of the day
Same procedure again
Fish catch reel in
Fishermen in their catch
Maneuvering boat back to shore
A fishing meal for sure.

FALLEN ACTOR
Dramatic pause
Stage diminished
Alcohol influence
Living on the streets
Nickel and Dimes survival
Actor being once a striving Actor
Contract revoked
His final curtain pulled down
Had big dreams
Wanted to be in the movie streams
No Movie Star
No longer owns a car
Could have gone far
Inspiration being just a word
Closed door
Fallen to Alcohol
Stage presence forgotten.

VAULT WISE
preservationman Nov 2020
Treasure of dreams
Vision of refreshing streams
More than silver and gold
At least that is what I was told
Unlock the goodness being virtues
It’s not just the treasure chest
Vintage behind representing the crest
The pioneers of essence
The shine outlining the sequence
Time through the years
Unlock, again in what could be a surprise
Fortune of wealth
Wills arranged during pain from poor health
Value within monetary
Fame at the moment
Vault that has revealed the quality
The heart that was filled with solidarity

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

GREW WEARY
I look at the wall
I see nothing
I hear whispers
Yet there is silence
My Faith grows weak
Belief I don’t seek
Wondering if God even cares
Is it worth to pray?
Waiting and waiting with no change
If, when and how are not communicating
Tears pour
The heart turns sour
Beyond seems still
No movement to fulfill
Weary goes on and on
But for how long?
Stubbornness comes on
My look up is locked out
Weary Weary and still Weary
Now I worry
When will I overcome?

HEED MY WARNING
preservationman Oct 2020
This is Heaven transcending
Remember in my Bible Scriptures I said many Plights upon the land
The Pandemic was at my command
I sent many signs to get your attention
But you overlooked and went with your own understanding
There is a price for disobedient and you are now getting the punishment
Pandemic that has spread throughout the entire world
All this could have been avoided if you have done some things
Praying and reading the Bible are the essential decree
I would heal the land if you pray and hear from Heaven
It is just that easy
But you felt at ease
You don’t pray and don’t read the Bible
I have sent a message strong
Then the Pandemic came along
But you still didn’t respond
Things you love have shut down
In fact, entertainment has no sound
You now have restrictions
My forbidden for not seeking salvation
I am the representation
My words are obvious
I am the Lord who is furious
My patience grows weary
What would it take to get your attention more?
I am not trying to even the score
I want you to see salvation in blessings for sure
I am the Lord who gives life and take away
The Pandemic is here and won’t go astray
You have seen Death’s in large numbers because of your disobedient
Your tomorrow is down to zero
Don’t look for a Hero
The Pandemic is one of my plights
I am not trying to pull your leg
Your delay is as failure
My message is clear
Hold me close in near
Have no fear
I am the Lord being the preserver
If you want the Pandemic to vacate
I am the Lord you need to relate
I am the conquer of all
Pray to me being the call
Every given Pandemic moment is a stall
It falls on your neglect
Yes this Pandemic can have that effect
You are now stuck on pause
Disobedient is the cause

MILESTONE LEVY
On this day of February 2
My reflection back to reckon
The number is 68
Numerical to appreciate
When I think of all my trials and tribulations
My hand is raised in PRAISE without hesitation
Walking in my own blessing
Mercy and Grace
Honor from Heaven
Chosen
Death could have stopped by
Living with every try
When the praises go up, the blessings come down
Living and Breathing Among
Father in Heaven, you are the one
Thank you for life and guided advice
Spiritual like sugar and spice

TRUMP STUMP
preservationman Aug 2020
Our United States President functions like a speed bump
His words are more like a bodybuilding term in pump
Yet his speeches use sentences that are garbage that need to be dumped
But our President is acting like a chump
His decisions are like treasons
As for the White House Administration his speech is within reasons
I call it permissions are his missions
Everywhere the President goes, it is like he is carrying poison
Whatever he touches amounts to nothing
The United States is confused
Yet his voters feel not used
Washington, DC is in a complete mess
The media says that too be jest
I don’t know what our representatives are thinking
But their trust is just sinking
The entire world is watching, and thinking fear
Even the overseas countries don’t want our President near
A change needs to come
We need a President that has wisdom
It will take the powers from heaven being the kingdom
Heaven is the true goodness
I can say as I am the witness
Trump is stuck on his own understanding
Yet having no knowledge is nothing sustaining
I pray for a change
The U.S. needs a agenda in arrange
The Presidency goes farther than the vote
This is about the current President with a new revolt
This is no joke
Every given word is a questionable voice spoke
Pray for change coming
Trump Stump dump
Washington, DC, I hope you hear me
A true vote the world will see

ON THE MOVE
preservationman Apr 2020
What do you aim to prove?
Perhaps acting smooth
Maybe even a matter in the principle of soothe
Tranquil
Calm
Serene
Perhaps you still don’t know what I mean?
It’s romance to try
It’s not live or die
Be assured and confident
Being an achiever is no incident
The whole concept will make you become the receiver
It’s a touch down in you being the deliver
The thought involving our emotion
Feel the inspiration in captivation being the reflection like an ocean
Your mind came up with a notion
Today is the day to be accomplished and you will be on the move
This is your movement now go prove.

A TIME SHALL COME
preservationman Nov 2019
It’s the minute that shall arise
It’s a second that will be a surprise
Your last Breath
A moment being too late
Take the opportunity to appreciate
We take for granted how perish life can be
Your eyes are open, but do you actually see
Now if you must question, you truly have no answer
It becomes a confession session
But imagine, its life being your own creation
The beginning of your life started by the Holy One
Life is what you put in
Where it starts is your begin
It’s your thought in how your life should be
Your organized mind in making life happen
Things happen at the precise instinct
It’s the captured moment
Live and Learn experience until
But it will be a day of your own expiration that will kick in
Achieving while living
Tomorrow from yesterday
Destination to Eternity
What have you accomplished in life?
The sunset is done
You are no longer among
Rest in Peace
