Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Has the availability of variety.
And the excess of diversity.
Made those with less to offer,
Except nostalgia to repeat it.
...

Done to do.

Everyday of life lived.
Presents a difference than others.
...

Even if it isn't what it use to be.
And could have been if it was.
There will always be many to say,
Those yesterdays lived,
...

Keep it real.
The truth to speak it.
Keep it real to feel.
Keep it real.
...

That time given.
Is taken for granted.
Not to think of it as rare.
With seconds, minutes and hours,
...

If I did not spend my time with you.
Listening.
Whenever moments wraps you in despair.
You wouldn't believe for you I cared.
...

You have made me love,
To live.
For love.
You made me love.
...

Without determination and initiative,
Potential remaining to stay that way...
Has a lot to do,
To excuse one's unused motivation.
...

Who has ever known those low moments.
Accepted and prepared for them,
To show up unannounced.
And who is it that sits,
...

What's wrong.
To know the presence of it.
Yet giving it attention.
Leaves more of it effective.
...
