Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

How can I do it?
Because I know that I can!
I wasn't the one to say I could...
If I wasn't willing to understand.

In my eyes you seem to stay.

As those who do it for quick tips.
I am your servant by my choice...
Not because I feel a bit desparate!
...

To compose a message.
The contents of it were very clear.
When he received it...
...

Something 'supernatural' happens.
Unexplained yet too eventful.
Those faithful and stay that way...
With a curiosity to explore and adventure,
...
