Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

God can,
And will understand.

God,
...

You make me glow.
You make my heart stop,
With meaning.
...

I'm not a cough dropp popper,
To hide a tainted breath.
If my breath gets that bad,
I'll get myself arrested.
...

Some folks do things,
Because they want others to 'believe'...
They 'are' somebody.
...

Prepare for them.
They are plotting...
To make surprises appearances,
From nowhere.
...

Entangled to strangle.
As if a tango of 'wills'
Is wished to prance,
In some dramatic heated dance.
...

Many try to deny...
That demon that sits within them.
Hiding behind alibis disguised.
In church pews...
...

No one better blessed,
Than you ARE.
No one more deserving,
Than you ARE.
...

Let's set aside our differences,
Of opinion.
And together,
Come to this agreement!
...

Born with desire inside,
Requiring each flight...
To be unique and different.
Exploring fresh destinations.
...
