Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I awakened this morning,
With a happiness attack.
I wasn't sure what it was.
So I laid quietly on my back.
...

You were there and then you weren't.
No concern about you raised.
Your secrets within,
Have never dazed or fazed.
...

Divided.
Lost in darkness,
To hide are some.
Those in Sun...
...

What is there left to disbelieve?
What is there left,
For one with a grieiving heart to receive?
Messages of hope...
...

Look up
Not down
Or all around
When attitude you give,
...

Well...
Time has a 'thing' about what it does.
It doesn't stop, look around, wait
Or...regurgitate!
...

Praises to the eldest of siblings!
You know...
The ones parents experiment with?
The ones some plan for...
...

No...
They don't want to hear it.
Because it is not what they wish to hear.
It has nothing to do with truth!
...

In search of the perfect season?
Where happiness existed?
And no one in their right mind resisted?
...

Promises given...
And then lifted from children,
Expecting to be gifted...
Dries an anticipation,
...
