Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Re-acting to hearsay and not the facts,
Does not make for healthy mentalities.
Evidence of that has destroyed families,
Business and other close relationships.
...

Live your life as if a kite.
And fly it.
Hang on tight and take that ride,
To heights and don't defy it.
...

The only thing I know today with certainty,
Is a yesterday I was blessed to live..
With the same devotion to a faith I keep.
Anything else on my path I have yet to witness,
...

Mystique giver.
Living to love life,
From Sunrise to midnight.
And teasing with delight to excite.
...

With their values on the decline,
And their influence no longer hyped to fantasize...
There are those still holding onto addicting myths,
To use to stimulate the oldest of stale tactics...
...

You will not catch me unaware,
You are prepared to strip me bare.
Thinking I live my life,
With something I wish to hide kept denied.
...

Pawning in their hearts,
Are the people who are pitiful.
Selling souls to fools who sold them...
On happiness to get,
...

Accept to believe it,
Because it's true.
Accept or leave it,
It's up to you.
...

One of us should stay faithful,
To love.
And what is believed.
One of us should stay faithful.
...

There will always be those,
Making a stand to complain...
About their lives.
And those who stand to complain,
...
