Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Things would be made much more explicit,
If those of leadership made constitution visits.
And saw and read and comprehend
What that doctrine says
...

Did we not say goodnight
When the clock tick tocked
And you could not stop
Watching it pass us in silence?
...

Once upon a time...
I was out of my mind!
Influenced by delusion
Believing what I wanted...
...

I'm not going to make it easy for you!
Don't think it
I'm not going to do what you expect me to do.
'Been there...done that,
...

Limited by fakers of faith...
Ready to share their praises,
With defeat and downfall on their lips.
Christians only in quick church visits.
...

We turned a fling into a thing,
Trusted.
That was then...
And now,
...

I know it's not all about me!
But that part of me that is affected by 'it'
Is going to get my many visits.
And seeking acceptance or approval
...

They seem to be into playing hide n' seek!
As they make fresh attempts to redo paths taken...
Others have awakened and have left them alone!
Although they can be seen peeking
...

Let's make a pact...
To announce our delusions
As reality,
And never look back!
...

It is love he seeks...
Not the quality
Or the ability
Of the games you play!
...
