Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

How many wrongs have you known before?
How many times have you said,
No more to love.
And it was love you needed?
...

Even if you are in it to win,
Or sitting on the sidelines cheering...
Be there on top of your game!
Whether rehearsing for performance,
...

If the path you walk upon,
Has been cleared of brush...
You may find your journey easier,
With less urgency to rush.
...

Buyer beware.
What you see,
Isn't what you always get.
That has been known.
...

I remember those days when I stayed,
Dedicated.
But, together the fun we had,
Has long been faded.
...

I have prohibited my eyes,
From dripping to drop another tear.
Or allow my ears to hear,
Your assessment of where it is 'I' should be.
...

We've been in this room eight days now.
The food supply is low.
And there is very little water.
Perhaps we should listen to that young kid.
...

Why are you now upset?
You were the one to say
Those concepts were outrageous.
Now you are enraged?
...

Closer to Utopia than expected.
It has been witnessed.
And it comes quick.
A resistance of it will begin.
...

How a cohesiveness,
Can pull them together
From indeciveness...
Is a test.
...
