Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

On and in what stage of regret,
Will an accepted sorrow be fully embraced.
With a forgiveness granted?
Unfortunately...
...

When trust is lost...
It is gone.

Some unaccustomed,
...

It is remarkable.
People actually believe,
They can sit through a ritual...
And transcend their demons.
...

No one should live a life,
Trying to convince another...
That is what they are doing with it.
...

A heavy lid is wished to be lifted.
Inside a pot,
That boils hot.
With a stewing done,
...

To tick,
Or not...
To tick off?
Should this be one's main focus,
...

What makes you think you can go far,
Sitting, drinking at a bar?
Huh?
...

A laughter once heard loud and clear,
Now does not appear to be on the heels...
Of one then taunted.
In fact,
...

You keepa way,
That's slipping from my listing.
I use to handle it,
But it it getting too late.
...

It is all right there.
There to conveniently ignore,
Or digust delusions.
As they seek to separate,
...
