Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Life is a dance.
And on this Earth
Those steps take place!
Some with rhythm...
...

Being alone is not half bad
Once you've been 'I.D.-ed'
Crazy and mad!
And watching others go into mental fits.
...

This is all new to me!
This day God has given,
I see.
So different than the yesterdays gone.
...

To be definite about directions taken,
Can be traumatic for someone
Unprepared for an alternate route to take.
Usually roadblocks don't offer tips...
...

You+me=understanding
Us+understanding=communication
Communication+understanding=a bond
A bond+loyalty=love
...

Death comes to one for all it seems.
In a world where truth is meaningless,
And unseen!
Just to satisfy created lies and lifestyles
...

What do I do,
When all I have is You?
All my needs with You are met,
Expecting nothing due. It's true...
...

Excited by the idea
Of exploring the depths of my boredom!
Even though the task itself,
Should not last that long!
...

I do not waste time making 'nice'!
I seek to make 'me' better.
Hoping that ingredient alone...
Is worthy of the taste condoned,
...

I know.
You know.
We know.
But,
...
