Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Experiencing now we are,
The evolution of truths.
Our consciousness can not resist it.
Preventing it is a fruitless pursuit.
...

Picking up those pieces from a running done.
Now taking time when before they gave none.
Less they find offensive too.
With fresh sentiments meant,
...

They scare alot.
Those smart young people.
Who seem to know more than they should,
When others do not.
...

A presence that becomes too familiar,
With a stamina that is determined to stay strong...
Isn't always that presence that is championed.
Others can not accept faith like that expressed.
...

What mistakes have been made,
When someone does something intentionally.
When the life of another,
Is deliberately altered...
...

If I did what was expected,
You would find reason to neglect me.
And I would begin to feel cheap and common.
No longer that treat...
...

I am an urbanite.
Accessible and in full sight.
And comfortable I am waiting,
At a bustop.
...

Express a love for something done you do,
And very few will come to comprehend.
Especially...
Since it is not connected to a dollar bill.
...

That train has gone.
The one you are trying to catch,
To keep up!
The one delayed...
...

It took years to close a door
that should not have been opened.
Now that the action has been finalized...
There is knocking.
...
