War can be tough
The surroundings can be rough
But as Soldiers we are trained to fight
Being in the Military we don’t the mission light
That’s why we are proud to be Soldier’s
It doesn’t matter rank
As surviving each day is God to thank
We are the Red, White and Blue
That is what pulls us Soldier’s through
United in fight and victory being the aim
Many Soldiers satisfied their lives
But as a Soldier, we must carry in strive
However, Soldiers know there is no guarantee
We stand proudly because of Thee
It’s our country we serve
It’s freedom that all deserve
Battles come with victory or defeat
We stand tall and salute on our feet
Memorial Day is a celebration of honor that Soldiers take
Sustaining and fulfilling is what we make.

REALITY KICKING IN
Who am I?
What is my purpose?
Thinking thoughts
Why am I here
Questions upon questions
Answers of none
Alone I ponder
Then wonder
Voices echo mission
Where do I start or how do I start?
Need to explore
Start the preparation
Have an agenda
Easy to say, but hard to establish
Perhaps if I walk, maybe just maybe I can find my way
Organize where I should be at
Finish what I start
Courage and be determined
Be hungry to succeed
Understanding what I strive
Guided by impact
Assurance by Faith
Directed by Heaven
One kick start having a push
Integrity uplift
Believe and receive
Go and pursue

It was surrounded by my Grand Father bless his soul
He wanted success for me

It was the typewriting keyboard being my introduction becoming production
Typing was going to be my bread and butter
My Grand Father covered two theories being typing and the use of the Thesaurus
Hands on dock of the typewriter
Finger type here and there up the ladder
My Grand Father had me practice typing 4 hours every day
I protested it, but my Grand Father saw a need in life if I was going to succeed
My fingers got accustomed to the keyboard and my mind got focused to the mission at hand
Alpha and extending sentences with some errors at first then gradually being more accurate
The Thesaurus being my professor in start being elevation into intellectual boundaries
My Grand Father being of business in Mind, Body and Spirit
Success did come through typing
Determination virtue my high mark
Years of cultivation to master
Fruit of my labor to savor
My Grand Father being my number one fan
“Succeed until fulfilled” my Grand Father’s words
Look back as a reflection in moving forward
A Grandpa’s hopes and aspirations for me
Beginning having no end
Believing having no pretend
My Grand Father’s legacy extended
Before he died, he said, “I am going to remember this Old Man”
Thanks Grandpa for everything from your teachings to encouragement.

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER
preservationman May 2020
How much is one supposed to bare?
But do you really care?
Disrespect with no respect
Having an attitude
Where do I find solitude?
It seems, once a situation
Then continues with no conclude
I think at times, it’s some sort of a test
I am keeping it real, and it is a confess
There’s no peace nor soothe
But what is one to prove?
Emotion having no tolerance
Cup is full with no last drop
Perhaps I need to stop
There’s no more too take nor add
I just keep getting mad
I am truly fed up
So no more to bare
But I will leave it right there.

NICKELS AND DIMES
Senseless life
Value null
Homeless Man
Streets my home
Alone in roam
No Bed just a pavement in the corner
Passer by pennies dropped
Other times nickels and dimes
Life being bitter
My name I don’t even remember
Societies outcast
The unfortunate
A life that was once striving
Now not having
The forgotten
Family that turned its back
It’s beyond fact being reality
Weathered my own storms
Sunny days living in darkness
No one knows the trouble I am in
Tears that no longer fall
Words no longer expel
My own unbreakable chains
Despair moment
The street my education
Wearing clothes all I have
Sadness with no smiles
A homeless man stuck on still
Virtues no more
Just an image decorating the pavement
The fortune of nickels and dimes
Dreadful story
There you have it
Homeless man morse.

POET BRIEF
Written from the heart
Representation alone
Into the words stated
Carry over in the after
The mind thinks
Tomorrow’s question
Today’s minute response
One who looks but doesn’t understand
Hard to believe by some
Poet standing like a Lawyer in their own defense
Jury and Judge in one segment
Outcome of expression
Lessons gained
Alpha by alpha notations
Standing behind the sentence leverage
As only a Poet can
Willing to sacrifice
Wanting to listen to the reader
Words true and precise
Like a well flavored mixed salad
Poet brief carry on.
New York City being Entertainment to the world
One’s dream in reality in talent being heard
Dramatics and dance in utterance of words
The dream in the New York City dance
The opportunity in being the chance
Broadway, the Great white way
A voice says that this is my lucky day
You were gifted in dance steps
Now it’s up to you to just let
Broadway says open the stage door
It’s the wonder and lights for you to explore
The rehearsal is ready to begin
You will learn the dance routine from beginning to end
The music starts and your rhythm on when
The spotlights are on
Imagine, your dance the audience will look upon
The dance number, “Talent that was meant to be”
The audience will witness your dazzle and they will see
My name on Broadway on the marquee and lights
There is one part where I will be wearing tights
I am dancing all over the stage
I feel the audience amaze
The name accompanied with 42nd Street is Times Square
It’s a busy area where talent is street shared
But nothing beyond compare
After I perform, it will be the roar of the audience applause
I will have a contract that will have a clause
You are now a professional performer and talent through throughout the year
After, it will be performance after performances in which I will preserver
Dance and Act
It’s just like that.

TOMBSTONE MANOR
A place of peace and calm
Miles upon miles of graves sites
Memorials telling their life stories
Souls lifted up to glory
Lived in the flesh
Endless rest
Sleep on in your years
You lived to preserver
Their tomorrows arrived
Now they slumber
Days, years and nights numbered
Their names gathered
Eternity mount
Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
The Sun rises casting shadows over each tombstone
Smiles seen through their spirit
No longer mortals
Chosen ones
Time schedule
Heaven Hotel had their roams ready
Heaven was waiting holding steady
Observation lives Earth
Surrounding their birth
No more worries, pain nor sickness
Tombstone Manor
Strangers to each other
A community of its own.

OVER THE RAINBOW
Beyond the mountains, oceans and shores
Separation between doubt and care
Dreams of hope
Variations of joy
The common place
Peaceful off springs
Straight from the atmosphere
Praying hand lift
Inspiration vibe
Rhythm like a piano song
Wise are the skies
Strength to muster
Somewhere anywhere
Never alone always found
Walk in warmth being surrounded
Breezes that enhance the soul
The beat goes on and on
The focus on you
The person
The creation
Calmness and still
Rainbow view
Live and pursue
Years to formulate
From average to great
Today it became appreciate
It was my grandfather bless his soul
He wanted success for his grandson
Foundation of the Typewriting keyboard you see
Typing was going to be bread and butter for me
Skills in that order
My Grandfather covered two theories of typing and preparing me for college
I practiced typing 4 hours every day
Getting my fingers acquainted to the keyboard
Alpha letters and extending sentences in typing lookout
The Thesaurus being my lesson to elevate intellectual boundaries
My Grandfather being business minded in mind, body and spirit
Determination virtue my high mark
Years of cultivation to master
Success came through typing
My Grandfather being my number one fan
“Succeed until fulfilled”
Look back only for a moment and striving forward
Reflecting back on my teachings having an impact
Grandpa’s hopes and aspirations for his Grandson
My world without end
My beginnings into the future
Before my Grand Father died, he said, “You are going to remember this old man”
You can’t forget where excellence got its start
Thanks Grandpa
You made a difference through me that follows me.

CENTER STAGE
The Spotlight
Knowing who I am
Capable of doing
Assurance in knowing
Words assembled
Expressing out
Alone
But not beaten
Standing determined
Passed with no fail
Achieved
Totally destined
Being myself from within
Extending my purpose being a mission
Precision stance
Opportunity chance
Some say I don’t
I say I will
Doubt says I shouldn’t
I say I shall
I understand the reason
This is a need
There was that never
Had to be clever
Beyond standards
Overcoming fears
Thoughts and virtues
Issues that mounted
Lessons learned
Influences embraced
Effectiveness
Courage to explain
Happened in one segment
Center Stage
Evil substance
The need for blood
Must survive
One bite on the neck
Darkness seemed to see
My blood Dracula wanted
I told him I gave at the American Red Cross Association
But it didn’t work
I even showed the cross and had no impact
It didn’t cause him to step back
Want and need of my blood Dracula chanted
His fangs and tongue felt like a straw
Fill me up
Blood ****** until there was no more
I fell to the floor
My flesh was no more
Dracula, I die
Evilness I rise
Victim of quenching Dracula’s thirst.

POETIC AND POETI
Shakespeare high
Our love is so genuine
Friendly and kind
Words you say
Sentences strong
Our love yearns for more
Every kiss like a fresh rose
The aroma of avion
A King that we should be apart
Love is not a wrong
We are at where we belong
Deep feelings surround our romance
As the stars twinkle, I dance
***** on fire
My heart being on desire
Night Moon hangs in full force
Our love is launch on course
Our hearts beating loud and strong
Ultimate ******
Sweat pouring down
Summer heat
Reach for my inner soul
Dive in
Release the love I need
Closer ever closer I get
Moments, minutes and hours
Our enchanted lesson
Galactic thoughts
Having no limitations
Your love is like protein
Build up full of endurance
Love everlasting
Romance ever after
Congregation untrue
Holy on question
Pastor observed
Praise on who?
A church stating Faith
At what length?
Heaven’s look down
Church preaching sin
Heaven’s voice, “This is not gospel, and it must end”
Church marked for Death
A Pastor heading straight for hell
Failure on the congregation forehead
Mislead is not a good deed
Heaven doesn’t approve seeing no proceed
Amen is for the righteous
The Cross represents uplift
The Lord says he stretches out his hands over sin
My gospel can’t be a mockery of pretend
The church was built for my true worshippers
Judgement I shall bring
The church will get the Heavenly raft sting
Get ready
My Angels holding steady
Pastor, preach your last word
Your voice needs to be heard
Utterance is no longer tolerance
Sin not but praise more
My voice you can’t ignore
Everlasting my choice
Heavenly voice

— The End —
