Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Too many have approved,
The doing of their snooping...
In the backyards of others.
With this done to later discover,
...

There is nothing more that can be said,
Today...
To or about those who stand in the way,
With a doing to prevent or purposely delay...
...

No matter how fresh,
Something new introduced...
Gets to feel with it to get,
Keeping it real from Sunrise to Sunset...
...

The choice had been yours,
To ignore what is.
With the thought someone else,
Would come to rid...
...

A budding of those young done,
Comes...
As if time creeps.
Many wish to see their 'buds',
...

One never knows...
When love to them arrives to show.
And,
One never knows...
...

Once it's on the scene to see,
The sighting can't be stopped.
Nor, from a mind to drop.
Oh,
...

These days are not those days,
Many use to face...
With a routine unchanged.
And a kept dependency,
...

I've never followed shadows,
To sit and watch my battles...
I sought but fought by others.
...

To stroll through one's life,
Avoiding patience as a need to accept...
Lessons to learn without exceptions,
Maybe difficult to understand...
...
