ONCE UPON A SKY
preservationman Aug 2023
One minute sunny and clear
Suddenly cloudy followed by fear
Sometimes Rain
Followed by lightning and thunder
As a child I wondered why?
Why do stars twinkle?
Why are there so many planets?
Wondering child
School said Astronomy
Scientist said the Universe
As for the sky, God’s creation
I began to understand
All scientific
The beauty being terrific
Each night I would see the sky telling me a story
Glace and look up
Shooting stars that would zoom far
One wish
One hope
Believing heart
Caring soul
Behold
A story of wonder told
Into the unknown
Sky odyssey
Discovery

BENCH SEAT POETRY
preservationman Aug 2023
Have a seat
As I transcribe
A jolt down
The bench and sit
The weather was perfect for it
Sky words with the sun warmth
Here and there
Difference beyond compare
Mind lair
Moments to share
Every bench
Observation alert
Words suddenly come to mind
Every movement, a reason with a purpose
Need to write
I am giving the reader to look and it’s an invite
Totally relaxed
The vibes just right
The source of my compose write
No complain
Not even lame
The bench seat green
Words being lean
Write is with a write on

SO FAR
preservationman Aug 2023
The Morning Rise
Horizon view
So far
Exercise walk
Breathing in nature’s air
Nothing ever compares
Embracing it all in care
So far
Miles upon miles
Thinking opinions while
Birds chirping
The sound of life
Living with a purpose like advice
So far
Distance beyond that one can only imagine
Observation is the knowledge
The skies with their wonder
Just look up and let them educate the mind
So far
Feeling refreshed and confident
Energized with endurance
The walk extended in assurance
Ready for chores
So far so good
So far.
preservationman Aug 2023
Educating the mind
Knowledge coming out combined
Theory establishing concept
Communicating taking effect
Understanding will be wisdom
Lectures being the floor plan pinpoint
Opinions with thoughts
Challenging building up abilities
The focus on possibilities
Assured and accurate
Go out and use what you learned
Business ready to earn
Degrees proven what you have accomplished
It is what you do further in what you establish
Future on and strong
Education that took time
You are intellectually genuine.
preservationman Aug 2023
**** in the eyes that see
It could be designated for me
****** in the mind and heart
Words were spoken, “I want you dead”
No instead
No speculation
Total elimination
Lies that were stated
Truth totally cut off
A journey beyond
Anger on all sides
Nothing to say in provide
No need to hide
Hate being strong
I am not supposed to belong
Still **** on their minds
Thinking sublime
All in the mind
Nothing to say
Anticipate
No appreciate, but hate
Soon will be dead
Nothing in between
Words of wrath just mean

From beginning to end
Sustaining when

STORYTELLING DIALOG
preservationman Aug 2023
Not your usual
Not uncommon
The once upon a time
That line might be fine
Love of the heart at times being kind
A glass of wine being a story added divine
Line by line
Word by word
The distance between what happened
Extending to
Thinking through and through
Perhaps a notion having a thought
A pass dream remembered
Caught in a nightmare trap
Storms that became violent
One pause of silent
A past wonder
Sunshine suddenly appeared yonder
Emotions opened up
Joy prospered
Expiration had no tire
I know, but questioned
Opinionated but was a suggestion
Inspiration rang like a Philadelphia Liberty Bell
That moment, I felt like William Tell
I can do this
Encouragement spoke
Proceed told
You are mighty and bold
Heaven’s hand your threshold
The story within a moment’s notice of time
The life being mine.

SHOWBIZ LIVE
preservationman Aug 2023
My memory lane
Entertainment in can’t complain
That would be lame
The Great White Way BROADWAY
My time at the Town Hall Theater on West 43rd Street in New York City
A City big and wide known as the Big Apple
The show was “I NEED A MAN’, a small role with a big cast playing a Date
Moment that took effect where time wasn’t wasted
It was as gospel play leading to spiritual
Nothing unusual
Showbiz seen through entertaining realize
Utter in the sound and it will be heard throughout the town
I hear voices chatter of words of who and how being heard
Care to dance or do you prefer to sit it out
The show must go on
The stage is where I belong
Life is never easy
Certainly not cheesy
Learned the Piano and ***** through a Professional Female Opera Singer and Male concert Pianist and Voice
Sometimes I cry and ask I want fame beyond my real name
Isn’t it rich
Be patient now
Through the light and dark, I have gone far
I know I was born to do this
Dancing is only part of the twist
Don’t stop me now or you will see my fist
Wait a minute, you told me you would give me that kiss
I guess it is a hit and miss
My memories in Pennsylvania came about through SHERATON HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER Lily Langtry Dinner Theater in Valley Forge, PA King of Prussia area
Juke Box Jubilee and Egyptian King
Ruling over colonies with dancing girls
The King was ready to be entertained
Appeared in “THE CHRISTMAS CAROL, THE NUTCRACKER and various other shows
One in particular being MOUNT HAVEN RESORT in Milford, PA in the. Heart of the Poconos
It was a musical moment of make believe delighting the audience
Some have said to me personally, “ I don’t know enough”
I call their bluff
All I can say is Spotlight, Dazzle, Music and audience applause
Showbiz best
Forever reminded
Uplifted and Determined
Encore being my finale
Showbiz friendly
My time being my fondest moments
Showbiz accomplished.

SEVEN SEAS APPROACH
preservationman Aug 2023
Sometime the sea makes you feel at ease
Then there are other times, sea please
The seasick feeling
The body that becomes unwilling
Over the waves
Now behave
Look below
A boat moving slow
Sea of wonder
A Lighthouse and shore yonder
Some say the seas are a friend
The question would be when?
Sea tail
Maybe the time I was drinking Ale
Breezes just confusing the senses
Ships seeing ships
Ever now and then a dip
A captain saying, “Sea legs tip”
Nonetheless, seas into miles of ocean
Emotions forming motion
Seas surrounded
Cruising over mighty waves
Maneuvering with the wind
Seas that always can
Sea guidelines when
Cruising without sinking
Chicken little thinking

BIBLE STUDY POET
preservationman Aug 2023
Eye on scriptures
Subject on words
Questions and answers
Knowledge and understanding
Aftermath experiences extending into wisdom
Lessons gained
Wonders that followed
Heaven’s lead
Worshippers proceed
Biblical historical back
Revelation to present time
Wonder in the mind
Faith that should be behind
Believing in receiving
Research with gain
Studying that will remain
Carrying out in every walk and talk
The Devil will always try to get in the way
Tell the Devil not today
The Lord’s defense always my getaway
Bible study always having a take away
Learn and your salvation will become stronger
Understanding will last longer
Sustaining will make you wiser
Bible Study that says it all
Let God’s knowledge be your call.

CHARLIE CHAN TRUMP
preservationman Aug 2023
Sounding like a sketch
One big stretch
Laughter with every move
Always trying to prove
Crash landing in not smooth
Yet laughter all the way
There is always a getaway
Every movement with no pause
Head turn with a left and right
A look of fright
Cornered in a plight
Distinction of pure delight
Every day and night
Words of wonder
Hope that comes yonder
What will be next?
Pie in the face
Laughter with every trace
Given the fence
By defense
Laughter until finally finished
Character’s own in distinguished
preservationman Aug 2023
Dreams of entertainment
Full of amazement and surprises
Take a back seat Beauty and the Beast
We are a standalone being our feast
The music being for us both
Together we took an oath
A Teapot and cup and saucers are the ones who know
We will carry the show
Just follow the flow
Song and dance and perhaps a sketch
You the audience will have to catch
Creating the right effect
We don’t want the audience to reject
We will not be mean only lean
You won’t see much of a pour
Only our total performing galore
Our story our very own and it will be full blown
Teapot became a theory
Cup and Saucers a mystery
We were always sitting on a shelf or convent
Barely used or not used at all
We were considered a prop
I always had to accept like it or not
It was simply “NOT”
Disney thought they had it right
We took it as a plight
We were determined to show our talent
We refused to be silent
When the curtain rose and the spotlight was on
First the teapot went through the audience and asked, “Do you want some tea?”
The audience didn’t know exactly in how to respond other than laugh
The music started and that’s entertainment
Then the cup and saucers with their enchanting voices stating we are Cup and Saucers best
You are our guest
But we have only one request, “Don’t expect us to serve”
We are entertainment and that is what you deserve
Let’s go back into Teapot and cup and saucers time
On the table a teapot and cup and saucers that was always there
Alone with barely a touch
That doesn’t sound much
The table of beauty being a setting and we were decorative
Being objective
There was a party and the Teapot and Cup and Saucers were the highlight
Ready to fulfill
At will
Determined
There was some pour and detail
But without fail
Beautiful friendship
Pleasure to be your acquaintance
Music still playing enchanted
The stage is now full of dancers
Flashing lights
Teapot and Cup and Saucers dancing in delight
We shall dance
Suddenly the beast appeared being angry and upset
The duo of Teapot and cup and saucers had an effect
The question came up from the beast in why he wasn’t invited?
The response, Teapots and cup and saucers are the entertainers and you are only the prop when needed
It was on with the show
We put the beast finally in the know
The finale being an encore, the teapot and cup and saucers together a team
The audience stood up and applauded and the curtain came down
It was a teapot and cup and saucers with a pouring spirit
You have to give them merit
That’s entertainment the way it was meant to be

HIGHWAY LOVE
preservationman Aug 2023
Destination love
Romance being all the above
It was Greyhound Bus Schedule 101
Journey with a direction
The place being Los Angeles
The trip started from St. Louis, Missouri
Two passengers in particular were Mary and John
Those names I want to look upon
Mary and John sat together on the Greyhound bus
They were sitting side by side
Wait until you see how romance came a provide
It would be a long three days ride
Mary and John unknowingly had their heads leaning on each other
While they were asleep
By dawn, they woke up together and realized they had slept on each other the whole time
Mary apologized and so did John
That is how the romance got started
Conversations into continuous conversations
They really got to know one another
Comfortable in their reclining seats
They both reclined into each other’s heart
Mary was single and had no boyfriend
John on the other hand had a Girlfriend, but broke up
What a coincidence?
The Greyhound bus still maneuvering to its final destination
Love seemed to be on Mary and John
Everywhere the bus stopped for a break, you would find Mary and John together
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner was a calling card to both
One would think was this an oath
Los Angeles they finally arrived
John was in Los Angeles for a Lawyer’s Convention
Didn’t I tell you, John was a Lawyer
With all the romance and conversations that was going on I completely forgot
Perhaps it was on purpose
Mary on the other hand was on vacation from her Fortune 500 Corporation as an Executive Assistant to a Managing partner for two weeks
John was going to be in Los Angeles for two weeks himself
Somehow love is going to get even closer without warning
It did, they started dating immediately
On and On and On and continuous
They would often be seen holding hands and kissing
It was Greyhound bus connection with no transfer of love
Mary and John got in touch with each other’s hearts
True highway love
Arrival into romance
Now are Love Mates

SIZZLING HOT
preservationman Aug 2023
Steamy and sizzling
Hot and humidity running all through the body
There were urges, strong urges
The need for intimacy
Love on the mind
There was desire with no turn down
Temperature was rising beyond
The fire was ready to ignite
Romance day and night
***** were level up
Interlude decree
I wanted to just let go
But knew I had to take it nice and slow
The need being desire
Sweat was pouring down my body
The summer heat couldn’t control my feelings full of emotions
My gears had shifted
Female eyes and a man’s body
I was ready set to go
Finally relieved

COUCH POTATO
preservationman Aug 2023
Not an Idaho brand
Excess weight demand
Exercise in hesitate
Many people can relate
Body fat
Before and no after fact
The couch being the guest of human weight
For Heaven’s sake
The problem of give and take
Get up from the couch
Some people become a slouch
Exercise is the way to get rid of fab
Physical Fitness tab
Give the couch a break
If the couch had words, it would be “Get Up”
Start walking
Get that fat off
Stop being lazy
It is just crazy
All the couches banned together, and have stated, this is a couch potato war
We the couches refuse
We are tired being used.

FOREVER

What does it look like?
How would it feel?
No one can say until they see it
It depends if you live
Throughout life in what was contribute in give
Forever being a lifetime
Patience being golden
The heart being holden
Many yesterday’s continuous
Tomorrow’s offspring everlasting
Endless with no provisions
Separation with no Divisions
Enter in being joyous
Always
Forever being a onetime claim
If you don’t see forever then you are the blame
Imagine forever living
Forever being a promise many years ago
Biblical said so
Some see Forever being fear
Some don’t know what to expect and don’t want near
No one knows what their Forever looks and sounds like
It is proven over time
Precious moments
Forever moves forward
One can’t be weak like a coward
Onward
Forever’s voice live forever
You enter through a door of a lifetime
Blessing beyond

TALL CLOSET
preservationman Jul 2023
Marvelous
Magnificent
Built strong
Long Lasting
It’s not a home closet
It could be a walk in
But it is only how you enter
It’s actually an Office Building Skyscraper in New York City
The address is 550 Madison Avenue
Has many corporate tenants
Employees of all kinds
What makes it distinct?
The top and structure forming an arch like a closet
It is distinguished
All you have to do is look directly up
Then you would understand
The Tall Closet
Storage of Printers, Computers, Copiers, Employees and Facilities Operations accessories
People make up the fixtures
No wardrobe being only what is worn to work
Lots of room
Housekeeping brooms
The building is always kept neat
No clutter
The building that can’t be beat
A Tall Closet standing on the street
What could be so neat.

ALPHA LEVERAGE

What do the alpha letters say?
The alpha introduces in every which a way
They form words to understand
Formations and at times concentration
Trails feedback through the alphabet
Each letter with its own effect

If unusual words were used at the beginning that would have captivated you in reading further

Sturdy and Strong
Perfection
But is your Faith that sturdy?
The church building is solid
The rock in which we all stand
Faith should be just that concrete

Any church’s stance thick
Blessings come to only who is spiritually connected
Do you fit the mold?
You must take hold
The foundation into faith within
Then to now
Can?
Transcend
Built on hope and trust
A promise extending into must
Sustaining in willing

Everything will be ok

PRETEND FRIENDS

Every smile could be a sign of deceit
True friends are the one’s who captivate your eyes
It’s no surprise
Just a realize
False friends are what you find out being wise
Friends are a dime in a dozen
I see your ears are buzzing
A smile doesn’t make one secure
Only peculiar
A laugh spells on trust in false friends
Genuine is trueful
Hidden darkness among
Hidden false hopes straight out
No trust
On alert
Friends are God given and not deceiving
Friends being themselves in actually showing they are your friends
No time for pretend
False friendship is where it ends

The G being refined
Could stand for many things
You have no idea in what it could be
Hold on and you will see
G is always in your life
Sometimes it is advice
Other times not so nice
Sometimes a lean back and recline comfort
Fulfilled accomplishment
The G is a combination of many
It is not uncanny
It could be Go
But to where?
It could be happy
But to where?
It could be gratitude
But who from?
Captivating
Surprising
Just being great
The one thing the G should really fulfill in your life
Just be glad

BLACKMAN UNFOLDS

A world of wonder, but no delight
Anguished with always under plight
Living life doesn’t come easy
Struggles that can become overbearing
Love that is not love at the other end
The unfamiliar blend
Trying to fit in as a Blackman is at end
When you try to explain
It becomes lies by response
True spoken words
Not heard
No one listens
Emotions break out
Even tears
Cries being from a Blackman
Thinking positive is not always an option
Staying away from negativity almost impossible
Possibly forming maybe, could be or never
As a Blackman being the center of attention
Transgression
A black man wonders will he be alive or dead
Thought to think on
Sometimes it’s hard to even get along
A fight here and misunderstanding there
Am I understood
I can’t control what I feel
It is a big deal
Is this what the Black man is about?
Racism at all angles
Is this the way the Black man is to live?
I wonder, truly wonder
No resolutions only conclusions
Drawing only from personal experiences
Having gone through instances
A Black man only understands
I am a Black man
I speak
The Black man knows
The world doesn’t understand, but won’t
I am expected to accept
But I won’t.

MUSCLEMEN SINGING QUARTET
preservationman Jul 2023
Observe as we sing our muscles seem to grow
The dazzle in the glow
One ripple with a chest span
Musclemen are and will always be
One flex to many
Training to build
Fitness that was fulfilled
Pose after pose
Suppose
Time to impress
At times, preparation for a contest
Muscles respond
Dedication to a body craft
Molding through physical creation
We are the singing Musclemen because we are proud
What we accomplished and established
Musclemen shout
This is what training is all about
We are happy
Don’t want to be shabby
Muscle tone
Full blown
Singing being our introduction
We are musclemen showing our presentation
One flex again and again
Genuine
We are the singing duo
We have one request, please don’t drawl

A SHOE WITH SOLE
preservationman Jul 2023
Step out
Walk on
Imagine distance
Courage in an instance
Circumstance through situation
Determination with participation
Sole together
Strong and sturdy in all leather
Shoes tell your story
Accomplishment with all its glory
The miles you left behind
Life that was kind
The times you tried to run
Those times weren’t all fun
That makes your soles different
The creation of significance
Identity of how you and soles weathered many storms
A when from then
Tomorrow turned into current
Soles on duty
Adventure through triumphant
Victory through honor
Soles on
Leather held up
Shoe in

VOICE OF THUNDER
preservationman Jul 2023
Rumble pours upon the Earth
Lightning flashes with more flashes
Strikes here and there
Heaven’s command on the Earth to hear and observe
Heaven’s relay
Mighty and strong
Separation with no get along
No evidence of preparation
Earth’s disobedience
The wrath of true divinity
Thunder continues to rumble and assemble
Echoes of breezes
Releases of total darkness
Soul’s uncertainty
Earth doesn’t echo back
Words on high hear Earth
Wonders below being Earth
A Mighty that can and could
Earth who should
The wicked undeserving
Honor the Master
One who can change and rearrange
Image unseen
Risen and clean
Rumble of Thunder being a reminder
Lightning with concluding assuring words
You heard
Now comply

SUMMER HEAT

Hot and humidity running all through me
Urges, strong urges
Leverage to the highest
The need for love
Temperature rise
Desired romance
The fire burning in ignite
The thought of the night
Romance running through my mind
The ***** a level up
Interlude surging
Just let go
The need to take it slow
Sheets being the decree
Love everlasting is all I see
The desire and fire
Sweat pouring down my body
Temperature keeps rising
Definitely higher than any summer heat
It’s not a relist but follow
The gears have shifted
A ready and let go
Relieved

I am who I am
Born to live and breathe
No stress but being relieved
Sense of feeling don’t belong
It’s a situation of no get along
Clothes identify a person
Distinction
It’s not a fashion statement proofing a point
Its clothing taste being unique
One doesn’t have to have a physique
Yesterday relished with a tomorrow setting
One’s moment
Committed no crime
Not asking for a dime
Hourglass time after time
Secluded with one’s own enterprise
It’s only one’s realize
Fallen knee deep within the cries
There are no lies
Simply emphasize
Clothes don’t say a person is different, but stand proud of who they are
No one can take that away
Standing solid with no getaway
No ride
Only what the inner soul can provide
Echoes from what words derive
Living to fulfill
Strength with a will
This day
Every day
Inherited name
One of a kind
A name genuine
Accomplish
Establish
Distinguished
Inspired beyond
A tomorrow here
A moment in time to preserver

DEVIL’S SEA
preservationman Jul 2023
Mysteries into mysterious
The thought just makes one curious
History having accounts within its own log
The wonders through the creation of the seas
1871 was a year when cargo ships would sail through unchartered waters of LAST CHANCE ALLEY would often disappear
The crews were never found
Some say the Devil would be aboard their ships
But there is no record of witnesses who can contest to that
All you hear and feel are the sea breezes
Many ships dare not to go through Last Chance Alley fearing that their ship would be loss and never be seen again
Captains and crews heard stories about Last Chance Alley, but feel the name should be changed to PROHIBITED ALLEY
Mysterious doesn’t make it obvious
Once mystery still a mystery
History has stated the Devil being disgusted as a monster aboard all the previous downed ships
One would think the many storms feeling like a monster itself
Imaginations gone wild
Some see Fishy ship tale being folktale
Perhaps it surrounds too much ale
Yet many ships have disappeared without any findings or known abouts
What’s the reason, and why no investigations out?
Unknowns still uncertain
A torn curtain with splits could be a beware
Was it the sea or storms themselves being lies of the Devil Sea?
We can only guess the many assumptions being nothing conclusive
Only suggestive
The Devil’s revenge
Myth or theory?
We will never know
We don’t know what is happening below
Maneuver your mind and continue to wonder
Devil Sea with an evil approach
Madness and controlling
Fulfilling in offsetting

PRAYING TRAVELING BUS
preservationman Jul 2023
Surrounded by Faith
Encouraging the world
Spiritual swirl
Kneeing and embracing
Fulfilling and suggesting
Journeying through the highways and back roads
Praying having a purpose
Praying for the hearts of the people
Just that simple
Unloading the empty hearts
Step aboard and pray
Break through
Health issues to overcome
Pray Pray Pray
The praying traveling bus bringing inspiration
The praying bus slogan “Let us show you how”
Praying being a continuous matter
Too much negative chatter
Pray for all time
Respect and be kind
Prayer time

The thought of Parades, Fireworks, and everything in between from Macy’s Herald Square. It was the capturing moment of the heart by a Five Year Old boy being the writer. I was a member of the MMG team known as Macy’s Merchandising Group at the Corporate level at Penn 11 Plaza in New York City. It all started when my Aunt Elmira took me to Macy’s Herald Square, and we were walking around the store, and I was startled, and my attention was drawn by a marquee eyes  pulsating moving back and forth with an array of school buses on display. The school buses in yellow and miniature toy students inside, and the roof was partially open. Unknowingly to my Aunt, I had picked up one of the buses, and held it tight in my tot hands for life. Once when my Aunt was ready to leave Macy’s. My Aunt noticed that picked up one of those school buses in my hand from the display. My Aunt told me to put the bus back, and I wouldn’t. Through my mind was shouldn’t. My Aunt even tried to take the bus out of my hand, but couldn’t. I had a strong grip for a little tot. As s tot, I was determined that the bus was going to be mine regardless. I even kicked my Aunt. My Aunt was forced to buy that bus at Macy’s. That ordeal led me to exposure to the bus industry in moving and observing.

This all led me to become a Bus Hobbyist in the preservation within the motor coach bus industry, and working for the hound being Greyhound Bus Lines, Inc. in my teenage years while I was going to college as a Package Express outside Account Executive. Macy’s opened the doors for me being the bus industry, and their headlights. An opportunity through the tunnel of intrigue. It was the open road with clear concise ideas, and the off ramp being my destination. It was the notion with presentation, and the buses in becoming my collecting structure. Who would have thought, Macy’s being my saga in becoming a bus enthusiast, and forming idealist. Thank you Macy’s for starting my first Bus Road Trip, and the chapter in stepping down memory lane and acknowledging the highway.

EYES FROM HEAVEN
preservationman Jul 2023
Observing Earth
Look up
Embrace
I see confusion and unrest
No understanding all contest
No togetherness
I sit high being the witness
The Earth needs wisdom
It comes from the Kingdom
It seems Earth wants to prove
Things are not going smooth
The Earth doesn’t seem to understand
Heaven controls the land
It’s not what you say, but what you do
Spiritual being pursue
There are Earth assignments to fulfill
All under Heaven’s will
The Earth seems to wonder
They must look yonder
There is a must in shall
Stands for all
Heaven’s call
One day being an hour
Earth walks around being sour
Hour after hour
The time will come
You feel lonesome
Heaven is it
The perfect fit
Put on the full armor
Heaven will always be it
Spiritual Fashion fit
Precise
Heaven’s eye
Being Thy
