Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Taking it too deep.
What is said.
Taking it too deep.
Inside the head.
...

Surprises come,
In all shapes and sizes.
And not always,
Are the largest ones given...
...

They have their 'stuff'.
Once to gleam and buff up.
Sparkling under moonlight.
With their 'stuff',
...

Narcissistic tasks endeavored,
To prove with threats...
Egocentrics limited,
To their own self interests.
...

Can a reversing of decay,
Prevent more to pay...
The ultimate price that's paid,
To have innocent lives...
...

Keep your peace nonstop,
From blockers.
Do!
Keep your peace nonstop,
...

Visuals to make,
With stances to intimidate...
An escalating of threats.
Only takes one ego...
...

At times,
Life lived can seem surreal.
Profound and too provocative.
Astounding.
...

Something in need,
To be needled to mend...
Tattered patches to fabric.
Requires someone to comprehend,
...

I'd be more inclined,
With patience to listen...
To a recovering mistake maker,
Admitting the experience.
...
