Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The spreading of a devastating fire,
Raging to ruin everything in its path...
Can begin unintended.
An unexpected to last for as long as it has.
...

We can make this work.
To work it out.
Between you and me.
Our differences of beliefs,
...

Don't let a feeling stop,
From getting good to drop it.
Don't let this feeling stop,
To do.
...

Those remaining fixed and supportive,
To age old unchanging beliefs...
That stay limited and unwelcoming,
To those returning to live within...
...

Memories are suppose to be,
More appreciated.
When they are reminisced.
Like a maturing when one ages,
...

Evidence of existing reality,
Has left many unprepared...
To accept any of it.
...

Your reality,
And myths kept to believe...
Are undergoing a quickened paced,
To renovate them to replace immediately.
...

Your ugliness to creep,
From under your kept beauty...
Leaves me mesmerized.
And I am unable to explain,
...

The only wishes with wants craved,
To appetite the taste of them on a daily basis...
With them desired to have come true,
Are the ones that begin with life changing discipline.
...

Drop your biasness,
With this to exist.
'Cause....
Everyone's affected,
...
