Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If I forgive you.
And you,
Forgive me.
Why can't we,
...

Mouths close.
To once be open.
Words heard to conflict,
Become pointless...
...

When someone's 'me' and 'l' is missing,
From a comversation.
Not to hear this mentioned.
Or heard it to listen,
...

Truth suffers.
On both sides,
Of a divided...
Decisive stubbornness.
...

Demons pursue deception and conflicts.
Truth seekers produce,
Evidence of it.
That entraps demons to expose themselves.
...

Surfaced twisted wishes.
Unconsciously made.
And postured.
With an effective clownish delivery.
...

Instead of creating to pretend,
A reality to live...
For those who wish their lives to exist,
On fairytales and lies to tell.
...

Maturity to discover,
Has a way to abandon childishness.
Once one who starts arguments to want them,
Realize this is not what adults do.
...

Denial kept fed.
In one's mind can infest it.
With a detachment,
No longer that accepts reality.
...

It should not take,
An activated irritation.
Intended to provoke beyond the limits,
Of anyone's known and shown patience.
...
