Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

On a daily basis,
Mother Nature is underestimated.
De-valued and unappreciated.
And given little if any respect.
...

That deep stuff is not enough,
To cuddle up to places within you...
I exclusively wish to be invited to touch.
...

Is a vacating of one's responsibility,
Okay just to label as immature?
Who endures the consequences?
...

The personality of anything taken for granted,
And either consciously or unconsciously destroyed...
Can not be duplicated, revitalized or just simply replaced.
Many have attempted to do such a thing,
...

Often we are not apart,
And needing.
With our hearts too near,
And accessible to feel.
...

It is difficult for many to leave behind,
Their feelings of nostalgia.
An excessively sentimental yearning,
Overcomes some for a return to a past...
...

If one has to be kept reminded,
Of what another has prioritized not to forget...
Perhaps the importance of what is shared,
Should be discussed with a caring done...
...

To find someone to fingerpoint and place blame,
Is as equally significant to do...
For that person to gain an empathy that is maintained.
Especially from those that are relied upon to do it.
...

We have heard your side of the story.
And fiction based with a wholesome taste,
Is what has been discovered...
Has made it that way.
...

It is all relative to taste and preference,
That which is regarded as beneficial...
To one's agenda.
And if it succeeds in satisfying a purpose,
...
