Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

No one misses a distance,
They have yet to travel.
Or can the experience of it,
Be remembered to reminisce...
...

Protective become those labels to give.
Defined to identify,
Attachments to keep that which is accepted.
With perceptions kept to further limit.
...

Not to take commitment ceremonies,
Seriously.
Or feel them felt deeply,
In the exchanging of vows...
...

So much more there is to life.
To love.
With appreciation.
And just to like.
...

Up and down with it,
A hold on love.
Up and down with it,
The feeling it gives.
...

Observing an inflicted self destruction,
Of those who destroyed with intent...
Family members and friendships,
With deceptions done relentlessly.
...

All things were finalized.
And then the people realized,
Their self-indulgence had them enclosed.
But too late,
...

When people begin to connect,
The affects their actions have on others...
To accept what they get in return,
Lessons will be learned to never forget.
...

If people wanted their exceptions made,
To rules created to instill discipline.
With expectations they be followed.
And obeyed to be given strict attention.
...

How do you intend to deliver your speech?
With it done uninterrupted,
And attention given to you successfully?
Aren't you expecting to offend,
...
