Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Baited with sweet talk she thought,
Sugared and creamed...
Would smoke screen her demons.
It was obvious then as it's apparent right now...
...

So much said goes left undone.
Promises highlighted,
Soon dissolves the interest...
Of those who were once thrilled with joy,
...

Observation is the key,
To remedy upsetting emotions.
Bother not to wait for comfort,
When forthcoming is regret!
...

When I first gave my heart,
So fragile it was then.
It was quick to give love...
And quicker with one,
...

Common cows,
Can be found on common lands.
Where the calmness of common life,
Without the bustle and strife exist.
...

Aging does not guarantee,
A wisdom and knowledge follows.
Look around.
...

Too few do boots in pools,
And swim.
Many might cause ripples,
Crossing streams with them.
...

Not playing hard to get.
Not playing at all.
Or hardly interested.
...

When I lifted my head,
To shake the burdens off my back...
My face was towards the Sun,
And I was off my knees
...

Quicker comes,
The lift of the veil.
A shift of conscious for some,
Who have prevailed in faith
...
