Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When did lies to tell and told to convince.
Become for some an honor.
And the more this is done,
Truth to disbelieve receives...
...

Living to give the best of myself.
Is not my decision to choose.
From a list of attitudes.
I respect to not expect this returned.
...

In The midst.
Descending with a transition emitting.
An effluvium invisible that rids,
Unneeded mental waste.
...

No success to believe it achieved.
Can become accomplished to remain sustained.
Without collective effort.
Some may claim individual fame.
...

Rrrrooaaarrr!
Grrroowwwlll!

Stunned.
...

The untieing of knots that have blocked,
Truth and its presence choked and stopped.
Today is being picked to have this knocked away.
As if carried chips on shoulders,
...

They hop then move on over.
As far away from the left.
With a folding of their arms.
Across self righteous chests.
...

Few live without some grief to experience.
Or the time it takes to mend and heal.
When betwixt,
Sorrow and pain.
...

I have enjoyed my encounters with the impossible.
And dreams to know them to come true.
I use to sit and wonder if,
My wants to wish...
...

Don't think you know me to know me less.
Or perceive you can show me,
What from you I will accept.
My experiences are many.
...
