Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

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

The hardest thing to do
When convincing someone you are right,
Is removing the smell of sewage
Where you are insistant upon releasing
...

I can't stay away from you!
Even though you cheated...
Repeatedly on me
Then pleaded each time,
...

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

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

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

Can we shake ourselves awake,
From an aborted ride into darkness
Derailed?
Can we take back the hope to love,
...

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

Even though you can not see it...
Tomorrow is there.
It has its own agenda waiting!
You can not prepare for tomorrow.
...

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