You left me and it became my loss
Higher calling
My heart mourns
My cries daily
You soared to a new world
I couldn’t respond
Beyond my ridges
I will always remember our talks and walks on the beach in the sunrise and sunset
Your inspiration in always reach
Let love enter in
That’s where romance begins
Enriched my life
Thanks for the advice
A memorable of everything nice
I say until then
Friend
I am not at my end
My heart will always transcend
Sincerely yours,
Grateful

A race that should have been mine
I had the speed that was combined
I was fast and you could see the flying dust
My mission was always a must
My name being “Speedy Post”
I was know with the high ranking Greyhound dog name where other competitors would often boost
Dog racetracks rang out from coast to coast
There was a lot of doubt in most
Speedy Post would often accept any challenge
My mission is to run and not be outdone
I am a top Greyhound breed among
This Greyhound dog is one to look upon
A winner who will never be done
A champion not looking for a rule of fun
A Greyhound on the racetrack known for speed
These hound dog legs know how to proceed
Challenge me if you can
As the rabbit runs, it’s a race in begin.

Jesus and the Devil in an Arm Wrestling fight
The battle between light and darkness with no light
Praise determining might with fire as a plight
Revelation challenging speculation
Darkness sees a match with no defeat
The reality that the Devil wants the Lord to retreat
Heavenly bond with stability in feat
Yet light and fire to the finish
Who will win out being distinguished?
Jesus has the power to win
The Devil wants Jesus and the world to give in
Jesus is the savior with a record of divine victory
The chapter being the end of story
However, there is power with glory
The Devil certainly decline and become history
Who says Evil can always win out?
Yet the roar of Thunder, and Lightening being God’s voice is what I am talking about
Arm Wrestling with the Devil going into a bend
Jesus is clearly the winner from beginning to end.

It was buses you don’t see around anymore
The date was June 3 at the Museum Of Bus Transportation where one can forever explore
Fishbowls that once dominated City Streets
Summer heat with air conditioning aboard no one could beat
What do I-78, 80 and 95 have in common?
Highway buses of many kinds
Capitol Trailways GM PD-4104 AND 4106, Greyhound buses which still do today and the list goes on and on.
However, I want to make a special announcement of the GM PD-4501 Scenicruiser being the most famous of the Greyhound bus family and among other Motor Coach Carriers
School buses of the past
The name Thomas buses that will last
All the buses were all parked with bus company names of who could forget
Continental Trailways with the Beige Tan and red being the Silver Eagle
There was a Flea Market Spring Fling comprising of buses among buses along with many other memorabilia
There were stops along the way such as Harrisburg, York, Hershey, Pennsylvania visiting Transit hubs
We ate dinner at Shady Maples Smorgasbord in East Earl, Pennsylvania
Buses being still around, but they are vintage being museum bound.

You smiled through your pain like a champ
You life complete being like a brightened amp
Your fans you made them laugh
Your comedy goes beyond any TV Script
But your personality is the tip
As the Mary Tyler Moore theme song would say, “You made it After All”
It was Heaven being the call
You were called home for everlasting roam
Yet I pay tribute being an honoring Dome
You will be missed
I extend my loving kiss
I won’t cry
There is no reason to explain why
I know you are with thy
You would say to your fans, remember me through the land
Your departure being an arrival in HEAVEN
Valerie Harper, you will be remembered as a Queen Of Comedy with a motto of “Live Until Done”
This is what kept you for years being among
Your life being full of punches
Yet your comedy with the punch lines
Script lines after another you did fine
Entertainment being your top qualities
Sing and dance
Valerie Harper’s name will come up at every chance
But you achieved in advance after advance
So long Valerie Harper
I will see you on the other side
I will always remember seeing you on TV and the entertainment you did provide
Rest in peace now
The thought of you passing still has that WOW
But Heaven stands for now
Heaven awaited, and you made it after all.

As I lay here in state
Destiny with Heaven being my eternal date
My soul has been risen up
Remember me for who I was
Time has steadily marched on
Heaven is where I belong
I lived the life in having faith
It was an oath and a creed
The Death Angel stated, “ I am allowed to proceed”
Think of me in how I inspired you
Remember to think positive as you pursue
Well I must not be late
It’s all about time in the slate
Until we meet again
I will be in Heaven awaiting with the timing of you on when.

The story of Old Smokey
I am your narrator and that is oh goody
I was a young boy living in what I call the Kentucky stripe
It was Blue Creek, a river near my home within a Log Cabin
But always in the distance, I often saw a puff of dark smoke with the engine moving sound
Well it was Old Smokey being New Orleans bound
It all including its Pullman passenger cars
Yes it was Old smokey coming through
I would often stand by the railroad tracks, and as Old Smokey passed, the Engineer would always wave
But through the engine noise, The Engineer would shout, “You Behave”

But one seeing the dark engine black smoke would think it was storm clouds coming
However, it was only Old Smokey throughout the community that “Old Smokey has arrived”
Yet, there was one time we didn’t have a railroad through our town called “Cotton Gulch”
It was a town stopped by Stage coaches with blisters to the **** and being sore
Well stage coaches weren’t actually what travelers wanted to explore
But what choice did citizens have?
The Mayor Hatton wanted a railroad coming and stopping at Cotton Gulch
He also wanted freight trains that would bring money to the town
Well the Cotton Gulch Mayor, Governor, Railroad Company and a Representative from the Federal Government had a meeting in how this railroad would be constructed
History was made, and in 1802, the railroad was officially opened and Old Smokey would be the name puffing down the tracks
Town after town would have railing with the countryside being the trailing
Old Smokey bound with the choo choo sound
Old Smokey captured my heart, but heritage with a past, and acceleration in being fast.

You were a Poet the moment that you were born
Your talent came about when you woke up from your yond
Perfection came from Heaven upon
Your words were everything to think of
You wrote your ideas down
After that, your poetry took off, and was being read bound
I am your inspiration being the sound
You were given understanding and motivation
Yet hatters said you will never be a Poet
But you were confident and proved the hatters wrong
You were a Poet and you made your writing strong
Because the talent was all within, you continued to write until when
You have become the Poet you thought you would never ever reach
Yet you have encouraged other inspiring Poets in knowledge as a lesson to teach
Your Poetry talent was established as a Heavenly gift
It was always a Poet’s wish
Expression in your own right
You wrote in how you felt to release the tension of being uptight
It seemed at the time it was a plight
Yet even through the midnight oil, your writing did shed some light
Now say it loud and strong, “I am a Poet and I have showed it
Your talent has been exposed to the outside world
You have captivated other Poet’s and readers in making their hearts swirl
Only a Poet can see, a tomorrow, but it’s illustrating everyday until the end of time.

Easter surrounded by colored Easter eggs and season dressing outfits
Then there’s the Easter egg hunt
Run and find being the fun
Yet throughout the day Easter is still not done
A time to attend church
But Easter is circled around the Resurrection rise
This shouldn’t be a surprise
It’s the Holy One who keeps us wise
It’s that look down
The Holy One being the one who doesn’t make a sound
He instill our Faith
Nourishes the Earth
Enriches our hearts
Helps us through struggles
The Holy One is all that and more
He is the one we should not ignore
He is everything that one should explore
He is everything that one should hope for
The Holy One is the comfort for our soul
Look up, watch and you will see the Behold.

Whispering blinding desert winds
A blanketing over the eyes
In between being a lonely lamb
Loss and not having any direction in where to go
It was a slow and uneven flow
Yet the lonely lamb pushed on
It was a matter of moving along
Suddenly it was night and a full moon was shining
But there was a bright light far away
However, there was a star that led the little lamb astray
But for some strange reason, the lamb felt encouraged in moving towards being ok
That same star was leading the little lamb directly to those bright lights
The little lamb came up with a multitude traveling towards the bright lights as well
Apparently the message got out as a messenger tell
When the little lamb arrived, he saw a little babe in a manger, but had no idea of who the babe was
The little lamb knew that it had to be someone of importance and royalty
Later the lamb observed it was the baby Jesus
The littler lamb’s face became a smile of hope
A message being instilled with encouragement to cope
Later the little lamb was able to find it’s way back home
Having direction and no need to roam
A little lamb that was homeward bound, and arrived safely, and can now sleep calmly with no distracting sounds.

The name being a strategy to boost
Yet there are some people who are uninterested to most
The beckham’s present strength, structure and confidence being sure
This is their explore
I hear applause from the floor
Muscle is the armor in galore
Yet the beckham’s have defined scientific methods in knowledge from before
Their craftsmanship is nothing to ignore
One beckham controls the bodybuilding stage
It’s what poses are presented and the audience caught in amaze
The second beckham is the weights in flight of gymnastics in how the body can revolve in flexibility
But the focus is on opportunity
The touchdown being the last beckham
A football held high
The winning game being the why
Now you see what makes the mighty beckham
Their voices rang out loud
It is all because they are proud
Not what is allowed
The confidence they in thou
The beckham’s are definitely ******* and not for the weak
All you have to do is just observe and take a peek.

Mulberry Square Inn nestled around Mountains, and a Night a romantic Moon
In fact, they call the Inn the Make Out Experience
But sounds more like a retreat in influence
However, the Mulberry Square Inn offering Guest amenities of quality service
But with romantic in the air that should be obvious
It is not exactly a resort, but you still get the relaxing pleasure
It’s a getaway for good measure
Picture Perfect
Mountain’s surround
Quite it and serene having no sound
But when Night comes, it’s no holding back
The Dazzle and Sizzle of music that the Mulberry Square Inn provides
It’s where entertainment resides
So Mulberry, you know the name from the Andy Griffith Show
Although
It goes beyond that
There is no connection and that is a fact
Think on Mulberry Square Inn being and giving more
This is something I wanted to explore
Mulberry Square Inn being a promise and providing being honest.

Day into night
The Hot Sun being the summer light
Slavery and ******* being a plight
Plantation having a purpose
Beatings with torment strikes
The disadvantage in having no constitutional rights
The plan in how slaves will escape
It will be movements like apes
While the slave masters were asleep
The Slaves were making plans in escape preparations being thought deep
All the Slaves held their meeting, but knew there could be death with plenty of torture if they were to be caught
But escape in being a chance, but it’s the only way the slaves will ever advance
A mission with being determined to be free
But the Slaves had to escape at night before sunrise without being noticed
The Slaves took their lanterns, but had to be very quite it if they intend to head for freedom in the Underground Railroad
Yet night was pitch black
Slaves had to mobilize forward, but not look back
The focus, “On to Freedom”
A new being feeling like Heaven’s Kingdom
Well the Underground Railroad was light at the end of the tunnel
Many Slaves were able to exit into forbidden States, while others were less fortunate, and were killed in their efforts
Yet different states had abolished all the slave laws and Slavery for most part became home of freedom
So the Underground Railroad was a passage in freedom being was it was supposed to be
The eye on Dignity and Honor in knowing where one belongs
The music of spiritual songs
“Wade in the Water”
The Lord sees our plight and he is our guidance and our light
It was a time of weary and tired feet
But freedom you can’t give into defeat
Every breath in accelerating in whatever time you have left
The Curtain call but with freedom never ending
A time to rejoice and give thanks
It was a long walk being a journey
I carried my dignity and pride with me with every given step
Now I can finally close my eyes and sleep
My soul is in Heaven and everlasting to keep
My living being my stride
Oh Lord to whom I will abide.

Arriving but never staying long
I guess the theory is he doesn’t need to belong
But that is the way it is
It may sound like a fiss
But the ongoing continuous moment is truly his
Moving at a fast pace
One would think Mr. Exit has entered a race
But from time to time one will meet face to face
Some might feel Mr. Exit is from Outer Space
He’s a human being from Earth
Mr. Exit is a person who arrives but abruptly leaves
Revolving thought
An idea of sought
Mr. Exit being like no other
But in the crowd he’s just another
I tell you the truth
Yes, I still have my youth
Mr. Exit does his thing
The movement being his sling
So while Mr. Exit gets ready to depart
Now let’s make our start
Mr. Exit just left, and made his mark.

I am going on a 7 day Cruise on the open seas
I am looking forward to feeling that ocean breeze
I will be playing all of kinds of games
I may have to be tamed
Taking in the ship’s pool
Being me and acting like a fool
Sailing sailing miles out in the ocean
I will be so relaxed as if I am under potion
As I am on deck and I head for the bar
The bar certainly is far
I am having my champagne toast
Now I am on the deck and getting a tan and perhaps roast
Right about now I feel no pain
I am staggering back to my cabin
I hope nothing is going to happen
Just my luck
I could be going overboard
Then I would be saying, “Oh my Lord”
The fishes dining on me
Ships miles away, I will not see
Luckily I made it back to my cabin
Thank God nothing actually happened
So anchors away my friends and stories to tell later of where I have been
THE END

Who is Tank Turner you ask?
He’s a Truck Driver so I have to make this fast
Tank Turner being a man 6 Foot and built solid
He had the skills to drive the truck through any condition or situation
Tank Turner known other Truckers being the motto, “The Tank Knows”
He was a Trucker who often made his point and it would always show
Once at a Café Truck Stop, Tank Turner got into a terrible brawl
It was so bad no one wanted to witness so some began to crawl
Tank Turner and Trucker Sky Blue got into a fight over Curvy Sally
Curvy Sally was another Trucker, but was a Female
She had more curves than the road, but had the body of observe and behold
The fights would often linger on and on
But on this particular night it didn’t last long
You see Curvy Sally was married to a Minister who was also the town’s Sheriff
Her Husband was about true Faith
But Curvy Sally had a problem in being faithful
This all happened in the town of ‘FORGOTTEN STREAM”
Forgotten Stream may sound like a town not on the map
But it was the town’s Sheriff who had the identification of the Justice Cap
The Sheriff actually intervened and the fight quickly came to an end
Then Tank Turner and Trucker Sky Blue got into their trucks and it was on the road again
Keep on Truckin
Riding down highway 101
The road into the sunset progressing into tomorrow’s sunrise
Tractor Trailer wheels keep on spinning
The schedule being the inning
As the highway makes a bend
Our story becomes with the curtain down that ends.

You remember the story of Grandma got runover by Santa’s Reindeers
If you don’t know, let me fill you in
Grandma was walking down the street, and as the reindeers were flying and coming down for a landing, Grandma got run over by the Reindeers
But Grandma wasn’t fully alert before the incident
At that time, Grandma had Egg Nog with her added blend of joy
On Boy
She drank according to Grandma’s account in needing warmth from the Wintery winds during the Joyous Holiday Season
That was then
This is now
Grandma is all well now and Sober
But not necessarily in that order
Grandma visited a Lawyer in getting a case to sue Santa’s Reindeers
Now I don’t know if that will damper Santa’s preserver
Nonetheless, the Legal Papers have been served
Grandma wants Santa and his Reindeers to get what they deserve
But Grandma should have been sober
Santa offered Grandma his apology
But Grandma was thinking Mythology
No Court Date has been set
What impact will be the effect?
Does Grandma even have a case, and will it hold up in Court?
How will Santa respond?
We will have to wait and see
Patience is the only key

Hm Hm good
The words amplified on could
The voice thought rectified on would
The flowing focusing on should
A blend of sentences, verbs and a theme
The words have prepared a wonderful dish for me
No need to open the Poetry soup can
It’s Poetry all its own being in demand
Can you smell the goodness in what’s in the written line?
An open heart and open mind all being combined
No witch *** can stop what the Poet wants to tell
A Poet’s own personal masterpiece in how the words will spell
The flavor in what ingredient in the sliver of words add
Poetry goodness with all the alphabet word added in
Poetry aroma has already begun
Ready to serve and relaxing entertainment you deserve.

Some people will play you for a fool
But some even want to be cruel
Yet what they don’t understand
There is a God that controls the entire land
Their wants are not my needs, and my survival is how I proceed
My expense will not be nobody’s debt
This is no secret being kept
A user’s request should not get a response
Why be used in the first place?
It would be unnecessary energy being a waste
Users either want your talent or something you have but too cheap to get
Their loss and not a regret
I earned what I achieved
I don’t give out being used for someone to receive
Users only want to deceive
They have no caring heart
Don’t give users a head start
My sincerity is what makes my mark
No one can tell me otherwise
I am my own enterprise
Users have no base
Run but don’t participate in the chase
Users look in the mirror and be truthful to yourself
Don’t try to act like everybody else
How would you feel if you were used?
It would only amount to refuse
Right now you might be confused
But users beware
Now I did try to be fair
I have common sense
It’s called intelligence and wisdom
If you are going to use someone, you may not make it to the kingdom
Users only score zero
Yet they think they are gaining
But users are all alone with nothing remaining.

The Hound having a strong moving bark
It’s ironic with being a solid ironman stark
The name Hound is actually Greyhound
It’s the Greyhound bus that has been around
It was once those shifting gears in motion sounds
But always moving from town to town
Highways have often seen the Greyhound trademark passing by
All one has to do is give Greyhound a try
Since then, Greyhound has a milestone of 100 years
In between there were questions in would Greyhound continue with operating fears
The end seemed ever so near
But Greyhound kept focused and preserved
Well as the years rolled on, Greyhound continued in the plan in being the transportation mode of the land
Today Greyhound is known as the blue bus
A trademark in travel and movement in no fuss
We marvel as the Greyhound presence is always known
But it’s your daily operations you always have shown
You’re the same Hound that always welcomes aboard
But it is your influence in helping passengers be assured
Like it or not
This is not an advertising plot
It’s all about giving Greyhound the traveling spotlight shot
A well established company that is still around
Greyhound is still transporting with any destination bound
But with all that I will leave alone
Greyhound your years have gone far, but it is the reason not needing to travel by car.

Red Alert Red Alert Red Alert
All Hands and bodies on Deck
Our warship has been hit
The enemy’s missiles did it
The warship is going under
SOS has been signaled
One Soldier sounds a whistle
Many warships in the area
Communications retrieved
They have been transcended and received
The warship is steadily heading for the bottom
The enemy above in war planes still attacking
The Warship was able to fire our missile, and we hit one of the enemy’s war planes
Our warship no longer remains
Soldier’s loss
The enemy’s missiles were the force
Down below the warship goes
The fearless and the brave

It has been an amazing Bus Nut Year
We all have travelled on various buses together, and that is something to cheer
It was miles over the roads
It was bus designs in behold
The bus pictures that were never really told
Yet it was the shifting of the gears and we were bold
Now 2016 is about to close
But this is a triumph being a suppose
Let 2017 being our year as Bus Nuts to shine
Continued being inspired, but keep that in mine
Thank you for the friendship in what Bus Nuts that are meant to be
We showed the world that buses they need to see
We are Bus Nuts united
We are committed where others say no
We are the voice and we say so
Together in unity
Holiday time is about caring and giving of one’s self
We are Bus Nuts being not like everybody else
Happy New Year along with prosperous 2017
We travelled the road with more to explore
As a Bus Nut, this inspiration I just couldn’t ignore
We conquered and we saw
Let 2017 continue to be our year to soar
As Bus Nuts we know
Buses are more than just for show
A motto for Bus Nuts to think by, “A road isn’t a road until a bus comes down that proud road, but a place in our hearts of look and behold”.

March with me back into history down memory lane
Oppositions upon oppositions being the blame
A voice being strong injustice like a blazing flame
Dr. Martin Luther King who was ready to take aim
Colored as it was used in the 1950’s and 60’s
****** called being all Afro Americans names
Beatings upon beatings
Enough was enough in Dr. King speaking out in no more
We shall overcome, but the message, we shall not run away
Fight we will along with the consequences still
There’s a train a coming, but its destination is victory
Multitudes all marching with a Civil Rights story
Eyes to the skies with God being the glory
Clasped arms and holding hands in togetherness illustrate
Numerous biblical songs for inspiration
March On and don’t tire, as we can’t let freedom expire
Washington needs to know, and we must let our disturbed voices show
Dr. King felt they had marched miles from towns into southern cities
But we as American’s people need no pity
But the time was right to move further south into Washington, DC

The very words of Dr. King brought the multitudes casting the Civil Rights presentation
The multitudes came by bus, car, train and motorcycle, as it didn’t matter, there was rapid message that needed to be heard and told
But the march was just that bold
Mahalia Jackson sang the gospel hymnal of “How I Got Over”
But added with that in my opinion, but how I got closer to knowing who got me over being God himself
However, this march was more than just colored, it was for all people in detouring the separation, but bringing all races together

Yet the opposition was always trying to get over in making injustice right
Yet American was stuck in it being the plight
But God was on Dr. King’s side
The multitudes proved it being the stride

It was on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC of “I Have a Dream Speech”
This is just a sample that is paraphrased, “I have a dream today that every Black, White, Jews and Catholic will be able to join hands and converse together in freedom
A dream being told and a mission being fulfilled
The platform may be empty, but Dr. King’s words still pack that impact as if it was yesterday
Dr. King’s spirit is overlooking over us from upon in Heaven and a high mountain
The sunrise is the timing for us to get up and stand up for the cause
The sun is shining bright for us to not stay in the shadows, but come out with dignity and pride
We must still make the Civil Rights shout
Dr. King may have been gone for years
But his voice being the plan is for us to continue to preserver
Instead of killing one another, we must embrace
There should not be any separation in any race
We must strengthen the weak chain
Injustice today can’t remain
Dr. Martin Luther King marched to glory
He is remembered being American’s distinguished story
Tomorrow may be another day, but Civil Rights must be here to stay
My voice into yours, are you listening or will you continue to be a problem?
Dr. King journeyed and conquered, what miles in footsteps you will be taking in the future?
In the distance, I hear march on, but we all must be everlasting strong.

The man, Eubie Blake
Jazz Pianist and Composer filling the slate
Music having its own blend
Gifted talent because my Uncle Eubie can
Eubie Blake being my Great Uncle
Have listened to him play those ivory cords
Oh my Lord
Uncle Eubie played Jazz with direction in mine
The direction was rhythm in Jazz emotion
It didn’t matter if it was waters deep like an ocean
The Charleston blend being a thought in a notion
Step up but step back
My Uncle Eubie could play with the golden fingers
Every note being a creation
The rhythm is the formation
My Great Uncle is in the Smithsonian African Museum and Culture in Washington, DC
He was once a student at New York University
My Great Uncle’s Parent were once slaves and perished over the years
But Uncle Eubie was inspired in his own right to preserver
He was from Baltimore, Maryland
It’s music note after note as my Great Uncle made that music simply float
Uncle Eubie’s dignity met honor
The ivory keys of the piano that I will never forget
In fact, the piano keys and I have met
I was taught professionally on the Piano by two musicians, a Female Opera Singer and a Male Concert Pianist
But before that, I was concentrating on the *****
My Uncle Eubie was the influence and inspiration
It doesn’t matter what music as it is about culture and appreciation
Play that again Uncle Eubie
Legacy being the remembrance all the way

Kamala Harris controlled the stage
You could see her opponent’s rage
Vice President Harris words were stuff like bullet proof bracelets
She was Wonder Woman being Kamala Harris wonder
While her Villain could only ponder
Wonder Woman Harris full of words and answers
The Villain didn’t have a chance
Yet he tried to prance
Wonder Woman Harris was strong
Her Villain couldn’t even get the words along
There was too many lies after lies
No surprise
The villain with the cannibal mind
Sublime
Answers to questions from the Villain didn’t make sense
Villain loss in his own past tense
Wonder Woman Harris had common sense
She possessed wit and charm
Her Villain set the dangerous warn and alarm
Wonder Woman Harris brought truth
Her Villain had no youth
It was clear that Wonder Woman Harris claimed victory
True Presidential candidate story.

New Jerusalem Worship Center did it again
Pure Gospel through and through
Plenty of Praise from everyone that was due
Celebrity Gospel Recording Artist that performed
The names in appearance were Tasha Cobbs, JJ Hairston and Tye Tribbett
All the recording artist were talent given by Jesus himself
It was nobody else
Each Artist had their own blend of music
It was rhythm straight to the heart
Harmony in lifting Spirits
Praise being blessings in honor of the Lord’s merits
The concert took place at where I worship at New Jerusalem Worship Center
It is known as the big white church in Jamaica, New York
The music was enriched in God’s goodness
Every attendee was the personal witness
God was pleased with the concert turnout
This was a reason to praise with a gloried shout
I am sure the harmony reached the Heavenly gates
The music having many messages for the audience to take in such as, “Change Your Ways”, “This is War with having the Full Christian Armor on”, “It’s time to be Church and not act like Church”, “Let your Faith and prayer be powerful”
Calling on the name of Jesus there is power
It doesn’t matter the day nor the hour
Well the ****** Win Tour Concert ended with a positive note
Death could not hold Jesus down
One day, we will all be Heaven bound.

A home that I saw
It was in a neighborhood that I had to explore
I certainly couldn’t ignore
The best way to describe
The wood paneling was magnified
It was a two family house
There was plenty of room even for a mouse
The antic had to room to store
This I know for sure
The house stood out on the block
The doors were sturdy with a strong lock
There was even a long backyard
There was space to move backward and forward
The fireplace was something to see
I like the house, but this is between you and me
My dream house in my mind
It has every combined
That is my house story, and I am smiling in my glory.

A man being a vocal host
But he is a legend from coast to coast
The voice behind the “Quiet Storm”
A night to sit back and relax
Forget your day, this is a night to be not perplexed
Music to put you in the mood
A Full Moon night, but harmony and tone that would make you soothe
Vaughn Harper being silk and smooth
Mr. Harper’s voice could calm any storm
He was a Radio personality that will definitely be missed
But it was his captivation in memory being the twist
Mr. Harper was the voice that carried you through the night
Relax in the dark and turn off the lights
His voice was something of pure delight
But his tone that would excite
A smile having its own light that would shine bright
Mr. Harper’s name was written in the stars
But his souls is at rest
However, truly Heaven says it best
Your life has gone far
You are more than just Vaughn Harper referred to as are
Your talent being your reward
But’s a radio announcement stating, it’s was time to come home
Heaven responded, “you need to be with my singing Angels
Your voice will be full of praise
But your fans on Earth will remember in how you would amaze
The Quiet Storm signed off
From the air waves to his silent heart
Thank you for letting me enrich your homes
My voice being pleasure being your friend when you felt alone
As the Quiet Storm, I prepared you to maneuver through any storm
But I am under God’s care being an eternal norm
My tomorrow has arrived today
My flame burns with love astray
This is Vaughn Harper saying sleep tight and good night.

A man who made people laugh and wonder
The man is Don Rickles whose soul has gone yonder
Laughter has turned into mourn
A smile from while
But this was Don Rickles style
I remember a movie Mr. Rickles appeared in called “Muscle Beach Party”
It was a laugh with frown
Don Rickles being known as Jack ***** in charge of a Bodybuilding Gym surrounded by Male Muscle men
Yet Mr. Rickle was the showcase in helping people enjoy life by being a comic
LAS VEGAS and HOLLYWOOD will never be the same
Lights, camera, but no Don Rickle
His life full of inspiration
Your jokes surrounded you
Hollywood has shut down the spotlight
Heaven was looking for Joy and Praise
Your name Don Rickles was the amaze
Thanks for making us all laugh
Your enthusiasm will always be remembered
But your comic detail will always be a reason to laugh
Your message in enjoy life as it only comes around once
But for us that is good advice
So long from a fan
Your Heavenly room was prepared
You were welcomed by Heaven in your eternal lair
Until we meet again.

NOT A THRILLER
CERTAINLY NOT INVOLVING THE SEAS
THESE ARE HUMAN *****
THEY ARE MAD WITH THE WORLD
DISPOSITIONS THAT MAKE OTHER PERSONALITIES SWIRL
THE HUMAN ***** THAT ARE A TURNOFF
YET THEY CAN CERTAINLY BE A FORCE
I REMEMBER IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, I BROUGHT A CAP THAT SAID, “DON’T BOTHER ME, I AM CRABBY”
THAT CAP CERTAINLY FITS THE HUMAN ***** MOOD
I ONLY WISH A HUMAN ***** HEART THAT WOULD MELT LIKE BUTTER WITH A PERSONALITY THAT WOULD SOOTH
HUMAN ***** USUALLY HAVE ATTITUDES HIGH
IT’S THEIR MANNERISMS THAT’S WHY
HUMAN ***** ARE MAD GOING TO BED AND WAKE UP CRABBY THE NEXT MORNING
MISERY LOVES COMPANY
MAD HAS A NEW THEME, “HUMAN *****”
BUT LET ME ADD “THE REVENGE OF THE HUMAN *****”
ALWAYS READY TO GO WITH A SITUATION AT HAND
BUT HUMAN ***** ARE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE LAND
CRABBY OR NOT
SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT TO TIE A HUMAN CRAB IN A KNOT.

Bus of beauty and delight
Scenic everyone knows because the headlights shine bright
Citizens wave as the bus passes by
The driver carefully flashes his lights in Hello
Scenic connects people with scenery
America with Pride
Scenic even passes a Native American Indian Tribe
Scenic that can be sonic
It’s the comfort in the passengers ride
It comes with reclining seats having the scenic stride
A very restful sleep
The passengers in thought with keep
No time to start counting sheep
Scenic knows the highway routes best
Yet only scenic can truly confess
Scenic is more than beauty on the road
Attention motorist in behold
Scenic is not like any average motor coach
But this is something engineering can boost
More than a coach traveling from coast to coast
Scenic with headlights being its surprise
It’s beyond the highway in making all traveling motorist wise
So when scenic flashes lights at night in hello, honk your horn in approval
Scenic with your fine design, I wish you could be all mine.

She is not a Witch
It’s not even her figure in how she moves in twitch
Madam Spectacular is simply dazzling when she dances
She has control of the audience with every move
It’s her talent that she wants to prove
Spotlights that change color during the show being captivation in the audience soothe
It’s like a destination being a arrive
I am saying that but that is no jive
Footsteps with rhythm precision
A theme “Don’t draw your own conclusion”
Today a moment being a struggle, but tomorrow just let be
Madam Spectacular who dances in enjoying life
Encourages her audience by giving advice
Music that is upbeat
It has an effect in bring the audience to their feet
But it is oh what a treat
Madam Spectacular dancing with beats going on
A show that can last really long
At the end, Madam Spectacular takes her bow
The curtain then comes down
Madam Spectacular who performs really well
But word gets around, and it will be tell.

Our love being smooth and creamy to the touch
Love and more Love that echoes much
Caramel, Vanilla or Dark Chocolate, it’s doesn’t matter what flavor
As long as we are together, our Love is the slaver that will never melt
It will be ******* love that will be felt
Eye to Eye in feelings being dealt
Chocolate with all its nuts and cherries
Yet our love being intense varies
****** being no end
But when it comes to our love, we say when
Eating more Chocolate that comes out the box
It’s about Love and off with the socks
We eat more Chocolate to munch
Thank you Babe my love being a bunch
You flavored me
Our intimacy for only us to see
Love that keeps our relationship in tone
There could be tonight a full moon
Love coming at you and could be soon.

Blowing winds throughout the streets
Tweets that were nothing sweet
The moon becoming black within its own mist
The earth was turning as a revolting twist
Eerie voices at the stroke of midnight
Blood thirsting sip
Screams upon screams
The creed being the dead shall rise
Movement will be beyond anyone’s surprise
Fright within your tears
Your body shaking within its fears
Thunder shall roar
The living existence will become no more
No investigations to explore
The unrest rising from their tombs
The night to stork and an everlasting doom
The prancing bout in the moment of soon
The dead reliving in a rise in the occasion
The living fighting to live has become a strong indication
Do you have the armor to survive?
Are you the chosen one that will still be alive?
Run for your life
Don’t bother to think twice
It’s precision sharp as a tack
But don’t look back
No life sparred that can compare
I give you caution in your steps of beware
A moment alone we all share
Good night and sleep tight as your survive, but in the your presence is the vision of the soul of Sir Clive
Laughter could be heard that you won’t be alive
Only the strong shall survive.

An elegant ball that gathered all
Pure Royalty expelled and the guest that stood tall
It was the Prince looking for his Queen
He wasn’t ugly and mean
The Prince was swab and no snob
Suddenly, a Female guest entered the ball
She wore a beautiful Gown with dazzling sequence
The Prince noticed her in the distance
The Female Guest had captured the Prince’s heart in captivation
The Prince walked over the Female guest and asked her for a dance and kissed her hand
At that moment, the ball was filled with romance
The music being just right
Oh what a night
Enchanted was like reading a fairytale
The other guest were drinking their Ale
Immediately, the Prince and the Female guest embraced in a kiss on the lips
Her eyes were closed
That kiss seemed to energize the Female guest
The Prince responded, “I found my Queen”
As the guest were leaving the ball, the female guest stayed behind at the request of the Prince
The Prince was definitely in love and so was the Female guest
The night was filled with interlude love and even the Moon had to smile
So how did the story conclude?
The Prince and his Queen were united in marriage with continued love ever after.

Gold Tooth
Young in youth
Lies having no truth
Driving the Chevrolet Deville
Player in a reality role to fill
Honey’s by the Gangster side
They are enjoying the cruising ride
Especially when the car maneuvers sideways, up and down
This is where the honey’s become ***** all around
A night of love caught in the moment bound
Being a Gangster one had to be tough
Survival in a big way where one had to be rough
At times, Gangster rivals want to invade where they don’t belong
The battle was on no matter how long
There would often be fights with shots
There might even be a sinister plot
There was no whether or not
The key one must survive
Proving being the Gangster who would be standing
Gangster Lean Man
It meant “HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS”
The theory in being mean
Solid having a lean
Gangster being the true man of the streets
Competition upon competition
Actual hood evens repetition
But with one edition
The Gangster being the player I am and was meant to be will be something the whole world will see.

Come fly with me
It will be an adventure for all to see
Down the Runway and into the sir we will go
Then seeing the earth and movement of people below
We’re be up in the clouds
The world managed by thou
It’s the friendly skies that a wait
It’s our journey in don’t hesitate
Our adventure is too anywhere
A trip that you won’t be able to compare
Where will we land?
It could be anywhere on land in where we stand
Do you want a Caribbean feel?
Maybe the Las Vegas gambling deal
Perhaps the Florida sun
Tanning on the beach that would be fun
Now I did say anywhere
No journey could ever compare
Thanks for flying along
You are back home where you belong
Now as we disembark, let’s have a sing a long
I hope I made your poetry trip lifelong.

It was a 1905 steam engine passenger train ride
Through the vase landscape being wide
Old Marilyn who ran from West Virginia into the Ozarks
The train that took the name Marilyn from celebrity Marilyn Monroe
Old Marilyn who would run through Overlook Peak and refurbish at Thunder’s Retreat
Everyone from one community to another would see Old Marilyn’s puff of smoke and hear her horn
It would be a signal that “Old Marilyn is coming through”
The passengers enjoyed the scenery ride
It was sit back, and take it in your stride
Old Marilyn had even more history of its own
No one really would have known
Many Celebrities and even one President travelled on Old Marilyn
But Old Marilyn was history when she took the name
As train design changed, Old Marilyn was a name that didn’t remain
The changing of the times
The memory of Old Marilyn steaming around
One could still hear “All Aboard in anywhere bound”
Puff of smoke with the horn sound
Old Marilyn, you captured my heart
Your name will always be written on the chart
It was your history from the very start.

I want to be someone mysterious
A point of surprise
Being understood but yet wise
Perhaps being rich and spreading the wealth
I don’t want to be like everybody else
But a real dramatic role
Having scripting lines being the best ever told
Eyes with tears in confronting my fears
I was told I don’t have much time to live
My dramatic role would be everything that I would give
Maybe keep the audience laughing
The kitchen with an oven with its own surprise
A Seven Layer cake that was supposed to rise
Yet it just disappeared in the audience eyes
No matter how much frosting would be put on
The cake was more like a pancake for the morning yond
But I would let the audience respond
The killer in the room with a gun
I would become the **** Tracy Investigator checking clues among
I probably would be more like Angela Langsbury from ****** She Wrote with examining the clues with full run
My dramatic experience, stand for freedom
Having dignity and pride
I stand for all in where I preside
Well those are some of the roles I could possibly play
As the curtain goes down, I have taken my bow
That’s all the time that will allow.

A Poet’s voice with words straight from any soup a poet can
Apply the combination with the emotion caravan
Hmm good in words that inspire
The Poet constant thinking every hour being the given hour
A Poet supplying the assortment
Choices being many
Disagreements if any
It’s the Poe opening up
The Poet literally pours into your heart
You feel the goodness immediately
Poet’s words on any given day
Pure enthusiasm every step of the way
It’s a matter of filling up your mind pots with thoughts
Its think and imagine on
In your bowl to the sip understanding in where the reader belongs
Poetry soup thinker offering the goodness to read
Continued consumption to proceed
Enlightenment in what all readers need.

A past reflection
A look that had distinction
Total recognition
Unforgettable yet wise
A look that captured the eyes
Purification
Memorable for the future
A perfect picture moment
Essence within the encore
Witnessing from before
Beauty and character with all it’s galore
Yesterday with tomorrow in mine
Dream come true
Reflection having its own accord
A face not easy to forget
Having avion with no regret
Yesterday’s face devoted to my heart can never be erased
The thought and the moment coming together
A face like no other
Yesterday’s look being tomorrow’s imagine

We are all kids at heart
It all started from the beginning at the very start
Tom who loved Greyhound buses
This was always a childhood must
Tom was given a scale toy model Blue Prevost Greyhound bus
It was Tom’s dream being full of pluses
Happy with no fuss
While Tom fell asleep all nestled for the night
There was going to be a surprise and it will be a sight
The scale toy model Greyhound bus blue had come to life
The bus horn woke Tom up
The Greyhound Driver told Tom to get up as we are going for a ride
Well up Tom went and the travel being the stride
A ride going around the block
The Greyhound Driver told Tom, recline in his seat and put up his feet
You are in for a treat
As Tom leaned back in the comfortable blue bus seat, he suddenly fell asleep
He dreamed of that bus moment
When the next morning came, the scale model toy blue bus was back on the mantle in the exact same place
But will this dream ever be erased?
The blue bus Prevost only knows
A child’s inspiring heart that showed
Captivation, the blue bus will never tell
Good day into the night with all being well.

A passenger train simply known as the “EXPLORER”
It’s a departure with a long distance ride
Step aboard and recline as it’s the luxuries the passenger train will provide
Coach seats in just lean back and you are sitting in a recliner
What could be finer?
Besides the coach passenger cars
There are also sleepers
I call them Human Bed Folding Surprise
Because when you must use the toilet, the bed one must rise
However, our train is all glass
Elegance with name in having class
Scenery you will never miss
A new train adventure having a new twist
Mountains that will be close up
Tunnels going through mountains
The train getting waves from on-lookers as the train passes by
Majestic up close
Picture taking capturing the moment with a vacation to boast
Imagine, we will be travelling coast to coast
Station stop upon station stop
Views from every hill top
This passenger train that only a Writer would love
Writing detail oriented illustrations
A train that has its own Mirror Reflect
Adventure having a detect
As the signals meet the rails
A getaway that has no fail
It’s only rails that follow having a trail
The “EXPLORER” identification travels the rails like a guide
The sun even fades in the mountain ridges trying to hide
Indian Teepee’s with nothing but fun
Yet the “EXPLORER” can never be outdone
It’s the passenger experience in togetherness like family among
It’s only when we return at the conclusion of our trip, we will be totally done
As for the rate of this passenger train trip stands at Number One.

A solid **** being the turn
The mind in using what you learned
The base of one’s destiny
The negativity among the enemies
The door that stands before you
You have no idea of what’s behind being a clue
The history of people walking in
Their untold stories of decisions to begin
The mysteries behind a mist
It just turns into a theory of a twist
Yet again people have walked in
But also they never came out
Conscious to see, but no shout
Intrigue to know what the door was all about
One’s step at the door to open
One’s journey to explore and a door that separates
It’s the wonders that indicates
One must learn to appreciate
Vision of the human body, the mechanics close-up of the mind, and one’s inner soul of redemption.

America’s Bicentennial from 1776 – 1976
Tracing back to America’s roots having history Oh what a fit
I will highlight only a little bit
But you will get the foundation of American history being the tip
The America Freedom Train that travelled across the country
The train had a people mover, and artifacts that appeared as one would move
History a waits, there was enriched history to prove
I witnessed the whole accord personally at Belmont Race Track in New York
It was history during the signing of the Declaration of independence
Every elected official observed at Independence Hall
All eyes carefully saw
America became the American people’s promise
The creed, “We the People for the People”
Truly history was made
Words formed into a constitution
Yet statewide establishing into an institution
Abraham Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg
It was a time of the Civil War
It was a long battle for sure
Soldiers died and fatigue, but in order to win, the soldiers had to proceed
Abraham Lincoln’s speech within the ashes of a dimmed sunshine
Cannons having admonition smoke all combined
Words into tomorrow, but an emptiness full of sorrow
Yet Abraham Lincoln’s discerning words with leverage
But standing in solitude was a privilege
Battle cries having eyes
But inspiration from Heaven that keeps us all wise
An Icon became known to America’s roads
The name, Greyhound Bus Lines with Headlight blink and the stretched out Greyhound Dog to all in behold
A company started in 1914
Greyhound started as a car and continued in technological advances that took it into a future of their ride
The company was also took part in the Freedom Riders
Greyhound was the first motor coach company to install Restrooms aboard
Well Greyhound is still traveling coast to coast from West to East
The company continues to bloom
The American Freedom Train
There is much to remember and to look back
The American Freedom Train had the right track
Salute and applaud
Yet the accomplishments were strives made possible through our Lord.

Ingredients being the surprise
But just the simmer the flavor that makes you wise
The Baked Potato of words to peel
The salad of everything coming together with the Salad Dressing of emotions being real
The meat being the solid contrast within words written
Just let the words digest after being eaten
Take in the aroma and the let the words dazzle your senses
What’s cooking in your oven mind?
Did you preheat your words?
A good serving of words with hearty details
Fill your wordy cup high to the prim
Now write and just let the reader take it all in
Fresh from the oven
Poetry words you haven’t heard
Words with fire come with the desire
As a Poet, it’s all about inspire
Well the *** of words is all tender and done
Have you been served in the poetry meal?
It’s not a McDonalds nor Burger king
It’s poetry being the thing.

Where there is no love becomes unhappy hate
Issues in attitude rise in relate
Sometimes I wish I was never born
If I had to yond, I would chose Death
Observing the many faces in how they look
It’s not a theory, but the visual example within took
Friends I thought were friends came to an end
Yet I am full of inspiration that has sat in
It’s a new beginning
God’s trust and no more doubt
I don’t need to yell nor shout
It’s having my mind on Jesus to what I am talking about
There are many people that go from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hide
This is not a proud stride
Hot water is hello and cold water goodbye
Attempt is considered a try
Yet a beaten path
But so called friendships that never last
So what was my reason to be born on Earth?
Jesus holds the key being his verse
At least I am still alive and not moving in a hearse
Many blessings have been bestowed
But I give thanks to the Almighty Lord.

A night where all creatures became confused
It was humans thinking the world was their excused
The moon seemed to turn beyond the norm
It’s the earth giving the world a warn
The bible of Revelations stated what was too come
But was this the moment of gloom?
Scientist couldn’t figure out
Electronic equipment offered no theory in what the phenomenon was all about
The people on earth panic and cries in shout
Now even the Meteorologist couldn’t figure out
However the moon seemed to smile
It was all through during while
A moment being sudden
It was causing human mood swing making personalities toughen
But wonders on everyone’s mind of when
Was this God’s warning on the Earth’s End?

Natalie Cole’s singing voice was simply incredible
Processing talent from her own Father, Nat King Cole
The gift that Heaven provided in both
It was vibe voices becoming each legends oath
A spotlight highlighting true talent
Not standing in the shadows being silent
Understandable in every way
Ms. Cole used her talent being singing words she needed to say
This will be
Your legacy is what the world will see
Ms. Cole lived her life to the fullest
Many might say she died at the height of her career
But it was her father’s spirit that helped Ms. Cole to preserver
Natalie was a woman of pause and grace
Her achievement no one can ever erase
Ms. Cole legacy to us being “Achieve”
Her motto to us being “Be determined”
Be patient in what you want in life
This is Ms. Unforgettable’s advice
Remember me on Earth and in Heaven
Your singing has captured our hearts
Your range being easy in pitch
Sing you did and followed your dreams
You brought flavor from your father, and added along with your streams
Your stardom has been called from Heaven
You marched where many will someday be
Your name is written in the clouds for all to see
You left us to think on the moment of your shine
It was your influence all combined
Your father was very proud of his daughter Natalie Cole
He called you home and wanted both to be in Heaven together to roam
You achieved your pursue
Regretfully your time was up
However we are glad we saw you close up
Natalie Cole, your singing fire is our internal desire
You created in us in becoming our own talent empire
Heaven knows and has spoken, as Heaven is where you belong
A kiss, but is not good-bye, but my remembrance in life in how I gave a try.

A freight train just sitting in the yard
Yet from a hill it could be seen from the courtyard
A young boy who marveled trains
It was his heart being sustained
The boy stepped down from the hill
His Sister told him to keep still
But he was determined at his will
The boy looked into one of the freight cars
The freight train was preparing to depart, and it was going to be far
The boy smelled the scent of bananas in the freight car
As the boy entered in
The freight train pulled out on the signal of when
The freight train door closed and tracked the boy
The train then pulled off
The boy thought, “He was alone”
But was he?
He peeked through the train’s open hatch
He saw churches in the distance along the way
There were many words in thought he could say
But the freight train was still moving astray
Well the word got out that a boy was trapped on the train
The train was stopped at Buzzards Point, a small rail yard
The Engineer was told there is a boy aboard
There were 20 freight cars
Luckily in the fifth freighter car was opened up, it was the boy standing
The boy was asked by one of the rail yard workers, “You felt funny in the freighter being alone”
The boy replied, “I wasn’t exactly alone”
Even though physically you are alone, but spiritually, there is always
a Guardian Angel that helps you see time.
