Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A 'knowing' takes observation.
With a growing of a comprehension,
That connects with effectiveness.
Many have chosen to accept this,
...

If she wasn't working,
He wasn't there.
And 'if' he was there...
It was the first of every month.
...

Many are quick to defend,
A perception they have...
That they can do a balancing act,
While juggle balls.
...

There is something that can be said,
About those willing to learn
Entertain with those experiences,
They've obtained.
...

There is no 'if' on my lips,
When I say I love.
No 'maybe' awaits me giving it.
I know what it is inside me that lives.
...

Goodbye to those midnights,
And tears that came to fall.
No longer am I there.
No longer there am I,
...

Laying it on the line.
Time is too precious not to!
At least mine.
Saying it like it is,
...

You are the treasure.
Sparkling and radiant.
Enriching the lives of those who know You.
And those who keep themselves,
...

In time,
All crimes...
Expose themselves,
For what they are.
...

Needing you.
Needing us,
Here.
Now.
...
