Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I can't give dates when this happens,
Or...
Who this will touch.
But...
...

Denial has the capability,
To drag pity around...
In various unique places.
And with a standard of performance set,
...

Waking days...
Dawn.
Those waking days...
Come.
...

Judge me not,
For...
Mistakes I've made,
Because...
...

Don't be afraid to knock.
No.
Don't be afraid to knock,
On...
...

Don't be the one,
Delayed to be forgiving.
Open up your heart,
And...
...

Honesty can be that one gift received,
To be quickly unwrapped to wear.
With a daring that is flaunted.
And exposing it to everyone,
...

Myths come to wither.
With a beaming at dawn,
When the morning Sun arises.
And leaving nothing else to shine quite as bright...
...

Intiating effective campaigns,
To gain a momentum...
With a purpose to disrupt,
What one assumes to be destructive...
...

The load too heavy.
With a shifting done,
On sore shoulders.
...
