Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

It is so far beyond contests of popularity.
Or an attention to get over others.
And so far beyond impressions to make,
For the sake to address...
...

Suffering from immaturity?
How about a disbelief,
That when time comes to go...
Many accept the facts of life,
...

Smother me with...
Love.
Smother me with...
Affection.
...

The injustice of justice to justify,
Has come in its eroding days to fade...
Sighs heard to dry eyes crying,
Too long gone ignored.
...

She lies. He lies.
And a fine line fades.
Truth created and the reality of it,
Today has made no difference...
...

A giving too much to none done.
A time once given to have it wasted.
With it realized the doing of it,
Had not been appreciated.
...

To know the affects of neglect to accept,
Without expressing any hint of bitterness left...
Is not expected.
Especially if known by the ones,
...

Fortunate and blessed are they,
To have gone through upheaval.
And conflicts witnessed.
With a noticing them beginning to end.
...

Strapped to a saddle.
And bucked.
By a steed I chose,
I knew wild enough...
...

The pressures of fame.
And labelled with a notoriety,
Others brand on someone to proclaim...
Can ultimately stress,
...
