Think before you write
You have been going through a plight
Yet your emotion will shed some light
Add the sentences that will surface might
Perhaps mentioning the sunshine in how your thoughts came bright
It was during that very night
You were alone
The sky was clear and full of stars
You visualized and imagined seeing Mars
The words held true
But you thought that this was nothing new
However, it seemed like it was a clue
I know now, it was writing for me to pursue

A MOTHER’S MEMOIR
preservationman May 2023
It all starts at birth
Nurturing thereafter
Disciplining right from wrong
Teaching the child to how to get along
It includes having respect
Upbringing in effect
It all surrounds the welfare of the child
Endless daily chores while
No time limits
Plenty of sacrifice
Mother’s advice
Always on call
Being a true Mom even when a child makes a fall
Attending a Child’s personal events
The times together
Hard knocks like no other
Mother instincts
Proud moment when the child grows up to become a Man or Lady
Smart and witty
Once the child is on its own
A Mother’s job is complete
A Mother must let go
The child will become the product for the world to see
The child’s walk of responsibility
The end result of reality

RAT PATROL
preservationman May 2023
The battle is too win
Rats get no give in
Not a fact, but reality
Pest always want to invade
Sometimes glue traps don’t work
Different methods as a perk
The idea is to rates defuse
When Rats don’t want to leave, refuse
They will tell your home into a hotel
No vacancies to rats in get out
Put measures in place
That includes getting rid of garbage waste
Show them you mean business
Become the victor being your own witness
Be careful when using chemicals
You don’t want to harm any pets nor small children
Electronic devices may do the right trick
Just make that measure stick
They encourage them to leave
Catch your breath and feel relieved
You don’t need a Jerry in your house
That also includes any mouse
Tell them to go back to Disney
Be ******* getting Rats out
Be aware as they are moving about
Let your home be pest free
Prevention is the key
Make the Rats move in a getaway
Apply every day

A POET ONCE SAID
preservationman May 2023
A storm had arrived
That moment was taken in stride
A lesson was learned
A heart burning like an urn
It was like a volcanic eruption
There was distinction in the information
Don’t worry just write the story
The mind focused on the words
Something the Poet wanted to say
The Poet thought, they had put Poetry on hold
Now the words were about to take whole
Tomorrow might be too late
It was no time to hesitate
It was the need to create
A day begins
Writing continues even after the evening ends

POETRY INTERLOCK
preservationman May 2023
Poetry is words
Shared emotions
Poetry is the feelings
Just like a Novelist
Introduction
Aspect
Narrating line by line
Situations after situations while moving around
Open doors of poetry
The mind on pause
Moment to reflect
The scholars who came before
The exploration of words they saw
The sentences becoming their legacy
Maybe one is right, but can also be wrong
Refreshing wind
Embracing the words from prior from while
A storm later came wanting attention
The purpose in don’t be alarmed, no danger in harm
It was a lesson coming from the skies in observe
A how to and when
Mindset
Words of wonder in showing me the light
What can be said, but can’t wait?
Nothing can be spelled out
Fighting fear
Struggling with my heart
A soul that is not sure
A pause being scare
Can’t go from here to there
This is new to me beyond compare
Perspective
Elective
Cries come
I feel lonesome
I need to overcome
Moving to fast and jumping to conclusions
All an elusion
Words came
Sentences followed
Words became a wonder
Understanding became possible
It was Poetry
Who I thought I wasn’t
A Poet is what a Poet does
A Novelist is what he writes
Perhaps both
No oath
Writing believer
You are the receiver

FOOTPRINTS

One step forward
One moment to reflect back
Journey on
Footsteps every turn
Distances being mountains climbed
Detours being a turnaround
Wanting time to slow up
Needing time to just time
Wanting doubt to be eliminated
Wonder within yonder
Footprints extending into experiences gain
Hope being assurances made

Every shadow being the image of presentation
Bare feet with open ideas
Into the unknown of tomorrow
Courageous
The footprints having what was achieved in life
One’s legacy left

Let the footprints be able into enable and stable in being determined. Blueprints being the rendering of one’s soul and one heart to another. Deliver in showing the way.

NIGHT LIGHT APPROACH
preservationman Apr 2023
The summer night was hot with intense humid heat
Sweat was pouring down
It wasn’t a night for the ultimate obvious
Writing becoming curious
Taking the alphabet letters on a journey
Places unknown
Turning up discoveries
Hesitant becoming assured
Confident confessing courage
Combinations of possibilities
Setting the time and place
Organizing the thoughts with a purpose
Destination with an arrival
Beginning extending transcending
Unlocking the door being the mind having the key
Echoes upon echoes in hearing
Answering
It’s time
Write and hold nothing back
Let your mind keep track
Journey to anywhere

Flavoring the ingredient of words
The senses of spice in the mind
Let this be the night of write
Focus on sight
Have no fear

ALL IT TAKES IS TECHNIQUE
preservationman Apr 2023
Concept to take in
A lesson to begin
It’s learning typing being transcend
Perfection, isn’t that what you seek?
Having a typing skill for the future that will put you ahead being so neat
Feel the typing keys
Be patient, relaxed and at ease
Up the ladder in the keyboard
Alphabet by alphabet
Eventually you will become a pro
Don’t say although
It’s a matter of how much time you spend on typing
Practice makes perfect is what my grandfather said
Just a matter of time
Your typing skill will become genuine
A valued skill
All it takes is will
Typing without looking at the typing keys
Feel assured and confident
Not afraid in avoid
Type away
Never go astray
Practice every day
Go from beginner to advance
Typing is your career chance
Type my dynamo
People will know
Type and go

Calypso spread throughout the world
People person being a heart that swirls
The name behind Harry Belafonte
The music having flavor in the calypso moves
Essence with music smooth
Mr. Belafonte’s life expanded commodity throughout his life
His name rang the music charts
But there is more to his story beyond music
Mr. Belafonte’s was quite active in the Civil Rights Movement
He worked determined alongside Dr. Martin Luther King
Mr. Belafonte encouraged everyone to be involved and connected in the cause for justice for all
His achievements and desires have been fulfilled
Heaven said come home and rest
Your work is complete
Mr. Belafonte’s music will never be forgotten
Heaven has music for you to pursue
Lifted up in spirit and lived the way God wanted him to live
You will always be remembered having a calypso style
Your own blend
But now it is your end
Your legacy is forever
If Mr. Belafonte last words would probably be, “Think of me being more than an entertainer, but a supporter in Civil Rights and capturing the world’s hearts
He wouldn’t say Goodbye

ALUMNI WORDS
preservationman Apr 2023
Honest and true
Alumni who always pursue
I will never forget my education and Degree from CUNY Medgar Evers College
I graduated many years ago
I just want you to know
I wasn’t sure what to expect
I knew it would be Theory, Concepts and Analysis
Medgar Evers College taught me always be determined and you will have a following
For me, it was intervention
For that, it is appreciation
College classes that offered insights
The Professors would often encourage me directly and say, “You will make it”
There were times doubt entered my mind
Yet assurance came directly through my professors
They saw in me which I didn’t see in myself
Trial and error approach
When it came to Midterms and Final exams, I didn’t panic, I simply studied in preparation and buckled down
The advice I offer to all incoming college students, “Nothing in life is easy, but challenging your own mind in what is to come is education and your own success story that will follow”
Medgar Evers College instilled that approach in me
Business and people that I have connected often say, “Well done Medgar Evers College and breeding one of your products”
Becoming the product, I became my own success story in confessing
My accomplishment can support that
My tomorrow is every day
My today is a preparation that was the beginning from the start with what was coming next
What matters is knowledge
What comes out being educated
CUNY Medgar Evers College did both
What you are reading didn’t happen by chance
Purpose and privilege
Standing on my own principles and standards
Expectations my grasp
The Medgar Evers College embodied spirit within
Medgar Wiley Evers which the college is named after
“Be determined while being successful”

HEAVEN’S PRAYER

The distance between Hallelujah to the highest
The Soul being ready to be lifted up
The spiritual voice cries out glory
That’s the biblical story
The pain and agony that was on Earth
But Heaven has given me an enriched new birth
My time will come quick
Like an on and off switch into Glory
The Angel shall reveal conceal
I will be welcomed and want my room to be ready
Honored and soul holding steady
Cry not, but rejoice in Praise to the Almighty King
Blessed being the whole thing Heaven bound
I want to be in that Heavenly home
Hallelujah throughout in echoing sounds
Everlasting, I will never ever be alone
The Lord and I
Hallelujah

WORD TRAP
preservationman Apr 2023
Not Tick Tack Toe
Not even a Crossword Puzzle you know
I am trapped in a word maze
Trying to find my way out
This will not be a snap
I wish I had my thinking cap
I am confused like a mouse
I feel like I am in a haunted house
Everywhere a detour
In is where it all begins and with exit
Did I mention I am in the dark with no light?
This is what I call a plight
Words block every path
Direction having no find
This word trap is certainly not kind
No getaway nor trap door
I know that for sure
Escape will not be easy
Perhaps there is escape
A motto keeps popping into my head, “Seek and you shall find”
Easier said than done
Trapped like a fly
This is definitely going to take awhile
Word trap has its own style
What will I do now while?

ACTION EVOLUTION
preservationman Apr 2023
People on the move
Walking in a rush like highway speed
Every turn at every corner
Entering through life’s revolving skyscraper doors
Thinking minds and voices
Seeing eyes on observations
One turn one thought
One pause being a slow down
Accelerations started on quick
Movement has no fix
Like an Action Figure in a flick
Take charge and be ready
Hard to hold steady
Every move with something to prove
Every situation doesn’t always run smooth
Movement strictly on the mover
Evolution wonder
The sound of Thunder
The rain starts, and people are running looking for cover to stand under
Mishaps turn into blunders
Evolution moment

EVENING SUNDOWN

A day gone through
Home to relax
Relaxing and not perplexed
Time being a wonder
Completed job assignments
It wasn’t easy
Certainly not a day cheesy
It was a matter in being organized
Understanding while remaining wise
The thought caught up in the moment
Enterprising mind
Getting a good night’s sleep
Dreaming deep
My soul not necessarily mine to keep
A day that was
Tomorrow doing it all again
A let be
Another day to come that will be something to see.

AMEN CHURCH
preservationman Apr 2023
Every church has an Amen Corner
But sometimes not exactly in that order
The church building is perfect, but people are not
It was a sermon preached by a Pastor that got attention
It’s something that must be mentioned
The Theme, “If God said it, it’s definitely a Promise”
As the Pastor was preaching, it was Amen here and Amen all over the church
The. Congregation could feel the anointing throughout
The spirit was moving
That is who the Lord is all about
The theme itself has power
It doesn’t matter the hour
Scriptures are never undone
One must participate being among
Shout in rejoice
Praise with an uplifting voice
Holy biblical songs only set the praising stage
One must observe in the Lord’s amaze
Believing in receiving
Behold and watch the Lord work
The word has been spoken
Can I get an Amen church?

DISCOVERY TWEET

What will I find?
Could it be buried treasure from years ago
Perhaps ancient ruins from a town destroyed by a massive Earthquake
Value with a thought
Human life into bones and dust
Time’s reflection
So much in discovery having a selection
One’s life of who they are and how they came too be
Inheritance of relations to the genes
What a discovery
The truth behind existence
Past discovery
Decades old
During that time period
When and then in wonder
Discovery booster
Facts coming to life
Discovery with a new vibe
Discover until
Do it at will
A mission to fulfill

From the valley to the skies

HOMEWARD LEGACY
preservationman Apr 2023
No chimney nor fireplace
A place of love
Joyous family gatherings
Shelter
A journey with a look back
Home
Memories of the various streets
My teachings in not to be beat
Getting around factors of defeat
A park I will always remember
A loss family member thought of as I slumber
Home was yet home
My roam
A Grandparents love was a caring love
Legacy precise
We didn’t have much
Food was always on the table
I was raised by my Grandparents who were mobile and able
Home was where I learned to grow
The sun would often capture the home image in a glow
Pacific Street I will never forget
My Grandparents passed and that is my only regret
The memories
A timeline that accelerated
Day in and out
Home always on my mind when I am moving about
History gone
Onward move
My homestead

WHEN I THINK BEYOND
preservationman Apr 2023
Observing the skies
Wisdom becomes wise
I began to think
Heaven comes to mind
The thought of prayer
Looking for a blessing
When it comes being devoted
Committed spirit in my heart
Determined
A moment of praise
When understanding seems so far
Knowledge rushes in being expelled
Assurance sometimes becomes a lack
Faith is strengthened at every length
The thought of being a creation
The mold of true self built just right
Purpose having an assignment
The thought of a refreshing fountain
Clear waters that quinch my thirst
I am hungry
Solid ground of plenty
In a matter of thinking beyond
Heaven’s permission living among and embrace in the days to follow.

Revelation and Elevation
Impact on target
Be prepared and ready

Get to know and understand me and watch the actions confess themselves

Trustworthy within itself

Dark Night
Write of Day
Words slurring
Sentences becoming like a black curtain
Certain not being certain
Night fright block

Word attack
Sentences attempting in fact
Alpha letter A being a fierce raging animal
Hungry for words to relief the craze
Beware what you read
It is up to you in how you will proceed
Letters at a time in big screams
The scene has been set
Thunder and Lightning making you scare
Beware
Unexpected could be your fear
The Devil wants to know you better
He wants Blood but less chatter
One bite to feel nourished
Devil teeth
No relief
The night of torment and no rest
No peace
Fiery on every turn
Suddenly morning arrived with a sunrise in sight
The Devil departed before the sun even started to come up
Non-existence
Beyond recognizable
No longer able
Darkened became humans rise
New Day
Is the ordeal over and could it start all over again?
Darkened Poetry lurks Day and Night
Will you be seen writing in sight?

ONCE UPON A LIFT

Received a sat of exercise weights
It was given to me as a gift
The suggestion was exercise, catch my drift
I decided to make good use of the weights
It was lift and breathe
Intensify and feel the exercise
I began to get strong
My body began to show transformation
Exercise books gave me all kinds of information
The old me started becoming the new me
Mirrors don’t lie as I saw progress
Currently on pause for a short recess
Enough being still
Mind over matter at will
Body chemistry in change
Total body experience in rearrange
A gift well received
Weighty thought
Exercise being the key
Imagine the transformation that one sees
It makes the efforts worthwhile in results the way it should be

TEARS I CAN ONLY COUNT
preservationman Apr 2023
My time in fear
Rejection in not wanting anyone near
My tears are my experiences I saw
My mind told me to completely ignore
No flourish to soar
My tears pour heavy
They are like a Dam levy
But they are holding steady
How do I overcome?
I am surrounded by lonesome
My tears are next to none
I must step out in courage
That is the only way to nourish
Tears come at a moment’s notice
My tears show I have no confidence
It’s obvious in an instance
No matter how tears fall
I must be able and not stall
I feel more of a regret
My tears have that effect
Stop now tears
This is the right time to preserver
Encourage me and come near
My tears have drawn back
My darkness is no longer black
I am responding now in just reflect

WHAT IS IT?
preservationman Apr 2023
Life is full of increases and decreases
Mounting in fear
Forming like nightmares near
Far off journeys
Beyond my reach
Perhaps understanding that needs to be figured out
Could it be anticipation?
Maybe even information
My Grandmother would often say in biblical words, “By and By, you will understand
Would my inner soul be enhanced
I am no Moses, David nor Paul
I am scare for failure
Sermons can become get it right
I could be standing in God’s sight
A face that can’t hide
Circumstances after circumstances in what they will provide
Heaven will always observe
My Grandmother would explain, “Grandson, Life will not always be sweet, but there is a man who is truly neat”
Seek and you shall find
The answer will approach you as you keep living
The puzzle is starting to come together
Believing who I am and what I am created to do
I am my own Son to fulfill within my own destiny
Being led and directed from Heaven
Reflection not my story alone
My story never told
Behold
I go now
Chosen
God’s will
I journey with no pause
There’s spiritual work to be done
Blessed is the one that knows that they are blessed
Time to fulfill
No time to be still
Among and present
Heaven’s representative
The Lord being the subjective.

MORE THAN JUST WORDS

A storm approached
Alone in the middle of the field
Lightning striking everywhere
Then there was a loud crack
Scared with fear
There was a storm near
Through the mind of thought, would the lightning strike me?
The rain poured in heavy showers
Thunder roared as if Heaven’s fiery
I felt the need to surrender myself
Wonder circulated through my mind
I found myself looking yonder amidst the skies
All I saw was overcast, flashing of lightning and rain
Was this my kingdom come?
I started singing spiritual
Help me get along
Without warning, the storm seemed to ease down
A rainbow appeared along with the sun
I was allowed to be alive and still among
My call from Heaven to Earth
Fate being an understanding
Danger on caution
One thing that will always remain is assurance
The skies lesson
Be obedience and influence
Accept or be unaccepted

Look up with hope

There was a code of silence
One note at a time played thereafter
It was melody of joy
The rhythm was oh boy
Tone full of essence
The piano hitting all the right notes
Pleasure for listening
Piano story of its own
A Baldwin bollard
Every note getting everyone’s attention
The blend soothing to the end
Remembrance of a Death
A life risen within the tempo
A time of when and how
Rhapsody from then
Reflection being the selection
The piano was the representation
The piano keys said it all
Then came the curtain call

MEMORIES
preservationman Mar 2023
I have fond memories
My life from Beginnings to Present
I also have bad memories
Life hasn’t always been perfect
Resentment
Perhaps less deserving
Trust wasn’t always on my side
Questionable responses
Through circumstances I gained living experiences
Encouraged through influences
Craftsmanship in carving abilities
Letting my past be my learning experiences
Pitfalls breakthroughs
Turning garbage waste into lifelong possibilities
One thing assured, I was loved
Memories whether good or bad and maybe both
They become always remember
Character is built up
Ready to conquer the world in where one never thought possible
Tomorrow becomes a checklist of one’s life

Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widom of Malcolm X
I had the honor and pleasure to have Dr. Shabazz as a Health Class Professor at
CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE in Brooklyn, New York
Dr. Shabazz, a name known throughout the world
Determined in all her pursuits
Civil Rights was a commitment alongside her alive husband then Malcolm X
Devotion in spirit in contributing change that followed Dr. Shabazz entire life
Being Black and a woman, but was standing for all women regardless of race
Achiever being a believer
Leader within her own right
Discrimination just made Dr. Shabazz more focused with a Civil Rights mission at hand
Dr. Shabazz wanted to break the chains of stereotypes and accept a person among those being a women
She observed in her eyes in what society was doing to all people of color
Dr. Shabazz educated herself through higher learning and worked within the Health Care Industry as an RN then as she worked became a Tenure Professor at CUNY Medgar Evers College
Because she was part of the Muhammad Faith didn’t make her commitment any easier, but more determined in the change movement of Civil Rights
Her detours were like she was drowning in a sea, but always managed to surface to the top in what Dr. Shabazz was determined to accomplish
Turmoil through the endless fires of her life
Malcolm X heritage was her base of encouragement
It didn’t matter he was deceased, the movement had to be pushed on
Destiny had to be fulfilled
Big step taking
Risk in having strong courage
The world had to understand
Dr. Betty Shabazz travelled the globe in making her agenda clear for Civil Rights change
She made numerous speeches in her own accord and her husband, Malcolm X
In his absence
Dr. Betty Shabazz proved to the world a women accomplish and establish being a women’s right in society
Dr. Betty Shabazz Principles for all women across the globe
She was even close to Coretta Scott King and teamed up together in letting Civil Rights continue to be known
My honor to recognize Dr. Betty Shabazz
Making an impact on my own life
Legacy her make
Understanding my start
Forward I go
Determined my flow
Dr. Betty Shabazz, Thank you for putting me in the know.

DEVIL’S TRAP
preservationman Mar 2023
Caught in the Devil’s jail
Pulled in without fail
Hot fire
The Devil’s desire
His agenda a set up trap
All could be said is oh snap
In the Devil’s lair
The Devil’s evilness not fair
Hell is no Earth compare
Total evil on the Devil’s mind
Wicked powers and fire combined
Devil, I am not yours to keep
Higher powers to your defeat
I just call on that Heavenly name
I will be free
Now you will flee
Heaven is the key
All thanks to Thee

Ready set go into center stage
Let your heart show your amaze
Heritage produced the women of yesterday striving in tomorrow’s virtues
It’s women you know and others you don’t
Those are the one’s behind the scenes, but courage put them on the front line
Women who believed in themselves
Cutting through the negative stereotypes
Making your strides in accomplished actions
Determined in desires
Believing while contributing
Courage while walking in Faith
Setting your own standards
Women use what they have been taught being a discovery
Knowing that you can cut the boundaries that bind
Society isn’t always so kind
The question is sometimes what can women offer?
Give a woman a chance and they can become whatever they desire to be
It could be a Teacher, Sports related of any kind, Doctors, Lawyers, Professors,
Mayor’s, VP’s and the list goes on and on
It goes beyond the household chores
It’s advancement into opportunities
Becoming their own commodity
Talent women can have and presenting in capability
The legacy women presented their floor plans for tomorrow’s women
Preparation became, “Are you ready?”
Assurance stated “Hold Steady”
Chance being advance
What can the world expect from tomorrow’s women?”
Determination, Encouragement, Achievement, Pursuits and established
Always stand up being proud of who you are
Think on what you can establish
Embrace what you have learned, but never stop
Let understanding be your own concepts on what theories you will put together
Legacy women achieved, and so shall you
Always let your mind be hungry to do more
Fulfill in your heart being a confident sure
Extend Mission, Can, Will and Shall
You hold the key until
Believing and achieving, you shall
Heritage women directed your path
Live for every day and tomorrow will show you the way
Heritage women saved your place in history
Let mystery be your own pull of surprise
Always be wise
Be encouraged and now energize.

Shocked and devasted
I suffered in a Health Condition and Heaven saw
Uplifted being Heaven’s call
There wasn’t much anybody could do
Heaven was my only pursue
I know on Earth you are heart broken
Don’t be sad
Don’t feel bad
You took excellent care of me well
Pure love and everyone could tell
You couldn’t have done anymore
You did your best and that was for sure
It was my time
Heaven’s schedule
On my journey like a module
I will miss you
Remember me on Earth
No more pain nor suffering again as Heaven is my new birth
Our love was strong
That is how I want you to live along
Bonding in thinking how I gave you inspiration
Remember the voice in my bark
Think of my paw touching your lap
One bark for love
Second bark for thanks
Last bark for everlasting
Love will never be unchanged
It takes time to heal all wounds
It’s not the moment, hour nor second
Taking one day at a time
Let Salem always be in your heart
I want you to be a carefree Dove
That is what you should be thinking of
We will see each other again
Heaven said and knows
That’s a promise
My paw in your hands

Heaven is where I need to be
Pure Heavenly
Heart to heart
From yesterday to tomorrow
Have no sorrow
Until we acquaint again.

AMEN CHURCH
preservationman Mar 2023
Every church has an Amen Corner
But sometimes not exactly in that order
The church building is perfect, but people are not
It was a sermon preached by a Pastor that got attention
It’s something that must be mentioned
The Theme, “If God said it, it’s definitely a Promise”
As the Pastor was preaching, it was Amen here and Amen all over the church
The. Congregation could feel the anointing throughout
The spirit was moving
That is who the Lord is all about
The theme itself has power
It doesn’t matter the hour
Scriptures are never undone
One must participate being among
Shout in rejoice
Praise with an uplifting voice
Holy biblical songs only set the praising stage
One must observe in the Lord’s amaze
Believing in receiving
Behold and watch the Lord work
The word has been spoken
Can I get an Amen church?

WANNA BET?
preservationman Mar 2023
Wages on a racing horse
The urge in the mind behind the force
Lady Bell having a bet
The horse loss
No win
Sums of money loss at the end
What was a sure thing
It all went down the drain
No money to even catch a train
The Gambler was begging on the street
Feeling down and defeat
People were just passing back
No one even gave anything to the Gambler in try
All the Gambler could do was just cry
Suddenly a miracle took place
Someone on the street gave the Gambler a One Hundred Dollar bill
I hope the Gambler learned his lesson and don’t bet again
You can’t say a bet is a sure thing
You could lose everything at the end
Bet wisely
The Motto, “The Bet today won’t always win”.
