A MAYBE STAR
preservationman Oct 2023
Not a shooting nor twinkling star
Not even a Hollywood star
I would have to be far
Above all
A star great
One the world would appreciate
No rage
Any age
You could launch me in a rocket to be among the stars
It wouldn’t be the same
No fame
Not the right aim
I wouldn’t have that twinkle
In the middle like a disturbing fiddle
Star thought
Reaction
Emotion
Once wanted being a star if could
If stood
A star bright
Never a night

TALKING TRANSIT BUS
preservationman Oct 2023
Beep Beep
Talking bus
Surprised to hear one
Never out done
Flag me down
Step aboard
Hear the engine pulsating
I travel from Market Street Downtown and all around into the suburbs
It’s the commuters who ride
Street to street to which I provide
Stopping within various street blocks
Sometimes traffic like it or not
Daily proceed
Transit all communities need
When you see your stop, just pull the cord, and I will stop
A talking transit bus at its best
Some say they can take it or less
Commuters have that right to confess
Nonetheless, transit bus on duty
Observe how I absorb the street bumps, totally sturdy
This talking transit bus has said enough
No bluff
Just enough

MOTHER WHY
preservationman Oct 2023
Mother why?
You abused me with your mouth
Didn’t you realize what would come out
You said you never wanted me
That was love I didn’t see
You stated you would have had an abortion on it
That tells me I wasn’t fit to live
You had no love to give
I used to cry many days and nights
My cries were hope in that you would change
There was no rearrange
No appreciation whatsoever
You are at a distance
You say Mother
I was raised by another
My Grandparents
They gave me the love and nurture
Kodak moment in my mind and heart
Love being something you never could
Didn’t even bother to try
You saw me as an ugly duckling
An outcast with no purpose
Your reasoning unsure
I became Heaven’s survival see
You smoked while carrying me
Death was on your mind
I am no longer bitter
You thought of me as litter
My Grandparents are proud in the person I became
All I can say it is a shame
Why couldn’t you feel the same?
Totally lame
My Grandparents will always look down on me from Heaven
They will always say, “We raised you well”
I have no love for you Mother
Only respect
Aftermath wanted to beat me down
But I am still around
You can’t have my heart
Moved on with no regret
You had that much effect
I am mature and on my own
This is how I felt
My hurt
My story
Inspired blessings through glory

SOUL UNREST
preservationman Oct 2023
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
Soul unrest

AS THE STORY TURNS
preservationman Oct 2023
You said you were going out for cigarettes, and would be right back
Hours and days passed
There was no sign of you
No phone call nor letter
That was an indication that you were cheating
A woman called and said I have your man
He doesn’t love you anymore
I found a Greyhound Bus Schedule with a departure checked off
The destination was Los Angeles, California
There was no love in our marriage the whole time we were together
We never really talked
We had nothing in common
Our entire life was nothing but lies
I found me someone who loves me
Before I wanted to confront you
I thought beware
I just didn’t care
You were like out dated shoes with no sole whatsoever
I actually told your woman that she could keep you as he was no longer needed
I can pursue a new life
We both did best that was for all of us
Our marriage had no try
I am not going to cry
No need to ask why?
All I can say is goodbye

ECHOED OUT
preservationman Oct 2023
Disturbed
It was what was said
It wasn’t how or when
It surrounded that moment
I knew I was insulted being a put down
There was no encouragement
I am a ship out in the ocean in never reaching the shore
My mind on me
Let the sunrise carry me to new journey’s
Explore what my heart deserves
Turn days into moments
My virtues have meanings
They were walked on and blown away
Felt like I didn’t belong
Wrong place always at the wrong time
Standing on the shore with so much uncertainty
Doubt set in
My assurance had no endurance
But no more
I see a better life
Full of promise
True honest
I always knew who I was
It was expressed so
No although
I am a person of prosperity
My reality
Negativity voices have loss
I am the force that rules
Can’t and won’t stop
My journey has begun
There’s no end

CIRCUMSTANCE TO ADVANCE

In the middle
Surrounded by a struggle
Trying to figure out
A challenge
A battle
Will I win
Total fight
Can’t give up
Must be determined
Searching for resolution

Perhaps fear within my own illusions
Trapped in a center circle
Decisions in directions to make
Mistakes made
Loss, but still can be found

Constant
Continuous
Just makes me furious
I need these circumstances to stop
I need to reach the top
Maybe I don’t how

My connection always to the Almighty
Every smile through pain
My every detour was assurance in getting to my destiny faster

When time gets tough, just challenge time in knowing you can win
Make it worthwhile and proven
Let the big E be big in your efforts

Appreciate who you are
The mirror sees the outer body, but it is the inner self that counts
Become unstoppable being determined in life
No one can break down destined, but expect a try

Beat down, but still around

Wounds with scars
Called out many times not my name
Totally lame
Tormented

GHOST STEIN
preservationman Oct 2023
Main floor to attic
Chanting heard
A reason to panic
It wasn’t any blowing wind
All through the house
A family wasn’t alone, and it was more than a living mouse
A spirit returned in ghost form who lived prior in the house
Enters through hallways, doors, walls and roofs
A ghost that is foul proof
A sudden family actually saw
It was Benjamin Stein himself in the spirit
He was murdered in the house many years ago
It was a fortune that Mr. Stein had
He didn’t will it to his Wife, and he was killed just like that
The mystery to it, no one suspected his wife and she roams free
Mr. Stein holding so much hate and wants to haunt
So much unrest with no confess
Unforgiven
Ghostly ways
Eerie voice
Shaking of heavy chains
Cracks upon cracks throughout the house structure
Tormenting
From Eternity
Determined chant
“Get Out”
Frightful
Wonder far yonder
Family asked Mr. Stein, why have you returned?
Haunt anyone who chooses to live in this house
Suddenly an ***** played with a ring of a bell
It was midnight precise
Mr. Stein gave this only advice, “Move Out”
This could be your end
The ghostly Stein then laughs and disappears
Thriller in fears
You have been warned

Media makes it full blown
The President has the left and right senate
They discuss the President’s agenda at hand
Everything becomes at stake
The President doesn’t always have a good day
Things don’t always go the President’s way
A quote from former President Abraham Lincoln, “With the Lord’s help I shall not fail”

THE SAND’S SUN BEAT
preservationman Sep 2023
I walk the desert alone
High dense sun
I am the only among
Struggling, but determined
Maneuvering is a hard able
Scrawling on the desert sand
A rush of a desert wind storm
Blowing and swirling
Thirst rushes to my mind
My eyes visualize an oasis
But no quench only imagery found
Sweat pours over my body like a running fountain
Birds circle overhead waiting until I die to feed on my flesh and bones
Drastically trying to survive, but darkness is slowly closing in
Hours seem like days
My moments full of haze
Tears don’t even come down
I don’t know where I will find myself
Man to Sun, let my soul ever be humble, and solitude prevail
I can make it no more
Within the sand I soar.

WRITER TRUE
preservationman Sep 2023
Sometimes in one’s life they often wonder why do they write?
The words guide one in what to say
The thought it should go this way
This is a mission every day
Writing comes from the heart with a need
That’s the proceed
What do people see?
Is writing from thoughts yesterday and it became tomorrow sought?
Some people won’t be honest in being false, and not tell the truth
Years have moved on since my youth
Wisdom is living proof
It goes beyond words
Mounts to the bull’s eye of understanding
Comes down to experience and knowledge gained
One can always say, but can one believe?
Full of questions
The real questions and answers come from within
Abilities and assurance
Confident at will
Writer true with no false details
No worry of Fail
Momentum of one’s trail
Writer spoken words
Write up
Keep up
Just don’t get fed up
Tomorrow’s sunrise
Sunshine bright
There will be cloudy days
That too shall fade away
Writing is whenever and forever
The ideas come from being clever
Endure in everlasting

Focus on center stage
Performance and overture having an amaze
Music that sets the mission
Scenery and spotlight in precision
Cast all in formation
Eyes watch and observe
Every given word
Voices everywhere being heard
Utterance and tolerance words
Dramatics take effect
Alone
The tears of aspiration
I need to hear a true confession
Lies have been within the moments
Truth needs to be said
There was a ******
Yet silence of darkness
Pin drop sound
Suddenly evidence appears
Clues all along
The Stars and the moon knew
My heart even was certain
Truth was pushed to the surface
There was a hush illustrated
Truth setting free
Happiness with closure
Anguish prior
The hourglass that was waiting
Intersession
All eyes
Full applause
An exit out

WRITE ME
preservationman Sep 2023
I have an idea
Think and write without fear
Come up with a theme
A subject is what I mean
Let your pen guide your hand
Think of yourself fondest in the land
Your computer screen being the open door
All you have to do is explore
Confident and sure
Let your own words shine
Even while you are drinking wine
Add the knowledge being combined
No one can explain stories like you can
You are the then and can
Just imagine
Watch the wonder
Turn your writer temperature up
Your inner atmosphere a waits
Let your writing start on this very date
Associate and Appreciate
Writing no matter what age, it is never too late
Now sit down and assemble

WHEELCHAIR HIGHWAY
preservationman Sep 2023
Wheelchair rush
Walking legs of others, please hush
Journey into continued movement
No hold back
Wheelchair staying on track
Highway On Ramp
Wheelchair jam
Wheelchairs with their own speed limit
They permit
Wheels on schedule
Moving module
Wheelchairs not a stop
Pedestrians in don’t like or not
Wheelchairs always on the go
A rush and sometimes slow
People in wheelchairs are the ones that know
Wheelchairs are people movers
Transport and deliver

A wonder why?
What was the reason?
Beyond any reasoning
Remembrance of 9/11/2001
A day that was like yesterday, but unexpected
A past with the skies clear, sunny and true
Warning was on call with surprise
The former Twin Towers were attached
Two major Commercial airlines were used as missile jets
New York City and the entire world that was on caution
Onlookers petrified
New York City was terrorized
Yesterday with no purpose of a tomorrow
Sorrow still has no morrow
Closure always remembered
Today the skies spell hope
Heaven is the cope
Embrace the past with the moment of lives loss
Devastation ashes became risen
We are who remain have a reason and purpose to carry on
Remaining strong in togetherness
We are the chosen survivors enriched to stand
We can’t be stopped
Destruction is not our reward
Continuous striving
We are protected by a Mighty Fortress, the Lord
Terrorist thought they would win
They wanted our Soul’s to end
Heaven said, “I am the begin”
I am the Mighty that can
Wounds will never completely heal
Heartfelt in some family members and friends gone
Chosen few remain
9/11 always remembered
We are the unforgotten promises in remember
Even as we slumber
We have a reason to live
The loss being their sacrifice
Risen Sunrise and Sunset
Spotlights of living in divining hope
Everlasting
Soulful voices in the distance, always rise

HIGHRISE MOBILITY
preservationman Sep 2023
Rise to the occasion
Platform shoe trend
Fashion history that came to an end
Walking high
Thinking tall
Ever so careful in not to fall
There’s a get up and get down
Disco fever
Back in the day platform shoes were the fashion
Today they are a mention
Men got plenty of attention
Today’s heritage
Honor with a privilege
Head up
Move bold
Dance floor beat
Platform shoes on the feet
Man’s fame
Feet that had no tame
No shame
What’s in a name?
Platform shoes were a big deal
For real
Alive and true
Compelled to pursue
Walk on with a step up

DOWNLOAD PRINCIPLE
preservationman Sep 2023
Dare to dream
A mind to needs to understand
Convene words
Heart expels
Storms torrent the soul
Emotions cry out
A loud voice says commit suicide
Die and be forgotten
Surrounded by defeat with no victory
Story in
Approaching conclude with no soothe
Understanding and purpose collide
It’s like there’s a small boat unable to hold steady
The mind feeling like waves shifting here and there
Alone in the struggles
A sunset that quickly turns dark
No one knows what I feel
Reality is for real
A told story, but who is listening?
Anchored in one’s own theory
Mystery unknown
Tomorrow only a virtue
Words hold true
Where do I stand?
The day, moment and hour
Darkened walls with authority
The time getting shorter
Midnight could very well be the second
Death calls
I have only one breath
The hour
Time out
I die.

SING OR NOT TOO SING
preservationman Aug 2023
Not a question
But a thought
Singing with tone of poetry words
Rhythm and sound being heard
A thought should or not
Sounds more like a plot
Perhaps a test in singing to see if a glass break
For Heaven’s sake
Maybe practice in prepare
Maybe I shouldn’t even dare
Gifted to sing
Performing is another thing
Sing with desire
I don’t want the Fire Department to come with singing causing a fire
I have been told good luck
I have also been thought my singing *****
I wonder, I really wonder
I wonder what Heaven would say?
Maybe ok
Perhaps singing, I should stay away
Practice makes perfect
Consider and try
Assurance is forming why?
Back again to sing or not
My throat feels as if something is tying a knot
My advice to everyone, bring your ear plugs
It is about to get real
Like it or not

BAND-AID APPROACH POET
preservationman Aug 2023
Wordy puncture
Sentence banding around the wound
Get Well approach
Maybe a joke or two here and there
Blood pouring from the soul
Painful felt
Surrounded dealt
Allegorizing thought
Let the thought just soothe
Healing is the key
Emotions of anguish
The Band-aid a healer’s helpful friend
Sentence the band-aid over the cut
Stay put
Band-aid bandage
Approach Poet control
Let heal
For real
