Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Expansive limitations of ego...
Confines common sense!
And splintered glass,
Finds an unprotected foot...
...

Some will say they have chosen
To step in dung!
And will travel near and far...
To gather others of like minds
...

What I want I want.
No substitutes for me.
I settled for replacements then...
Back when I had those needs.
...

It is not one's birthright to accept fear
And suffer alone,
From an emotional pain told to condone.
...

To submerge within completed bliss,
One must arise in the morning...
With a choice to make,
Wanting happiness to exist.
...

Give affirmations of what can be.
Encourage in silence...
A wholesome delivery.
...

A joy begins to ignite inside,
An exercise expressed...
Coming to provide one total rest.
...

One has a right,
To free from grieving.
No conscious mind protects...
An infected hollowness,
...

To submerge Within completed bliss,
May come in parts...
If one chooses to divide,
In units of six.
...

The right things done by some...
Does not right things done,
By everyone.
...
