Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Stronger felt to keep,
Are our delusions to fantasize...
With them romanticized,
As time goes by.
...

I remember what I did to do.
And with who to do each season.
But I no longer live those days,
To relive with them wished again.
...

What could have stayed to flourish,
With a doing that encourages...
A blooming to observe,
How a blossoming nourishes...
...

Lights out, children.
No more fairytales told to tell.
And 'we' must close our eyes,
So those monsters outside...
...

When one leaves love,
Left behind to take it for granted...
What expectations should be kept,
That a love left behind...
...

Generalities have never appealed to me,
Specifically.
They seem to invite indecisive,
And a divisiveness this always feed...
...

I give little thought these fast changing days,
As to why more people seem to be crazed.
The evidence of acceptance to tolerate decadence,
Has been fed to a mindset...
...

The best advice to give to anyone,
Is the advice that isn't given.
Especially if the attempt intended,
Has not been directly solicited or mentioned.
...

Us I like...
From Sunset to Sunrise,
Together.
No matter what the weather brings.
...

I use to be the kind,
To just give away my stuff.
During the time I was convinced,
My willingness to share,
...
