Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

No one I am with,
Intimately or not.
Will I permit myself,
To be shadowed...
...

I have been single and cautiously looking,
For someone like you to pursue...
With a love for me that is recognized,
No matter What it is I do.
...

Zenyatta...
Your stamina has got a lot of moxie,
To be believed.
...

I respect and admire those,
Who have gone through a lot...
In their lives.
Whether they have gained names of fame...
...

The best left in many,
Is still left unexpressed.
There remain chapters,
Not yet to be written...
...

Few who live exist,
To ponder the what ifs of life!
Although many sit,
To experience...
...

From a stumble that humbles,
To a stride in a strutted pride...
Is a recovery witnessed,
That lifts one from despair.
...

Baby I Love You,
Sang The Ronettes.
Lead by Veronica,
In innocent times...
...

I admit to feeling honored.
And also repeatedly blessed.
To have someone like you,
Make comments...
...

Today our lives are here to witness,
The staging of events.
Every increment of man made time,
Is to ensure fear is celebrated...
...
