Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

First classed and luxuried out,
Of credit card touch...
Writers of bounced checks,
Left perplexed but not stopped much.
...

He claims he shed tears for a son!
But no one really knew which one.
Since there are four of them.
How touching!
...

Vanilla scented candles,
Enhanced by frankincense...
May entice a date to dine,
In sublime penetrating comfort!
...

We MUST nurture,
And ALLOW ourselves to grow.
Knowing obstacles may shelter defeat...
They did not arrive for us to cordially greet them!
...

Start fresh.
Start new.
Begin all over again...
If you have to!
...

Jaded...
By fading consequences
Held onto like treasured jewels.
But I do not sparkle within,
...

A fallen leaf can not be revived,
Or returned to thrive on a disgarding tree.
A force implemented to do a will rejected...
Finds no success accepted.
...

Civil unrest
Civil war
Civil chaos
Or...
...

I alone allowed...
My failures to speak for me out loud.
And would ask and get advice,
Whenever I felt enticed by gloom!
...

I lay awake this night possessed,
With a wish to have all detest turmoil!
From a heart that beats...
Connected to a 'divine' will
...
