Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Any time spent evaluating is beneficial.
And taking life for granted,
Is ultimately what one discovers...
During this process.
...

Sometimes when I awaken,
I wish my mind was not so investigative.
But I am too inquisitive,
To assume.
...

It is not easy to deliver,
A betterment of one's best.
It becomes expected,
When a taste is created...
...

Never will a resolution,
Stick to fit...
Without some exchanging done to it.
By the ones quick to fast step,
...

There are those who are handed definitions,
To relate to as a designation.
And there are those who create definitions,
That describe the times that move forward with change.
...

I wish I could find the right words to say,
Why your mind and my time...
Are not going to be close friends.
...

Angry?
Don't be foolish.
Why would I be angry?
Of course I'm not angry.
...

I don't care what that outside looks like.
Or that picture painted they want you to believe.
I've been living on the inside,
For years!
...

Why is your fist all up in my face?

'I just wanted you to see my knuckles,
In the event you should say something...
...

I've got to move...
From memories,
Haunting...
Every need in me!
...
