Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Triumph you can over doubts.
A decision made to prevail,
To leave depictions perceived...
Of failure behind as it is defined,
...

You can turn the tide.
Only you, no one else,
Can determine and decide...
Who am I to you?
...

Tragic are the facts of life and reality.
Some avoid with attempts made to escape.
With facts from them wanted chased to erase,
For an exchanging of sweets and treats...
...

Old horses off course,
Prepared to enforce...
Aged endorsements,
Are not equipped to envision...
...

If you knew me,
You'd be here to share with me life.
And it you knew me,
You wouldn't have one sleepless night.
...

Sufferings done can end,
With beginnings of forgiveness.
A forgiveness one can feel,
With love that heals and mends.
...

Subjective objectivity,
Received and reflecting acceptance...
Effective.
Is never a consideration to suspect,
...

Like one does as you did.
You might have felt,
A doing of anything...
Without me around to witness it,
...

Thunder deep within me roars.
Sometimes charged,
From a brain electrified.
To nourish within this Universe.
...

To turn an inherited cesspool,
Into a prize winning Rose garden...
Is going to take a lot of time.
Especially when the users have spent...
...
