Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It's the morning of another dawn.
And I awaken to wonder what's going on...
With us.
With you.
...

Where else can I take this depth of love?
What steps should I take,
If it leaves you afraid to follow.
I knew those fears before but not anymore.

Demons seem to always find a way,
To take what is understood...
And campaign amongst those,
Already accepting confusion to feed upon...
...

If it gets too thick,
And humid...
With a sweating you notice drips,
It is not the heat!
...

Popularity.
Whether it is obtain to achieve,
Or given to one as a confirmation...
A conformity pleases,
...

The only way to happiness,
Is the one you create to make.
No one else can give it to you,
With a keeping you'll appreciate.
...

Who knows when the truth began to offend.
Who knows when those began to give it honor,
With a choosing to keep their lips tightly sealed...
Fearing if truth heard from them revealed,
...

What point is made in remaining relevant?
Who stays influenced by the significance of it?
And if a relevance kept when accepted is significant...
What happens to it when those disapproving its existence,
...

Let's not make this another quibble fest.
To evade the issue,
With a pointlessness to manifest.
Let's do our best to stick to the topic.
...

If it's significant worthy of this given it,
Then give it,
To employ.
If it's significant worthy of this given it,
...
