Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Time, devotion, with a discipline given,
Has made a doing done look too easy.
And too many perceive this to believe.
...

It is not a weakness to express,
Heartfelt emotion to expose its depth.
In tears shown to drip from eyes.
Or in confessions made to get off their chests.
...

With proven talents and gifts expressed,
Over many years to face doubts to address...
Some are still left unconvinced.
...

I...
Am not surprised,
By...
The shift of winds.
...

Those moments from moments to me that come,
Seem with me to linger.
And, each moment that comes stays undone,
Until...
...

There is nothing innocent,
That can compare these children today...
To an innocence that lacks a discipline,
Children did not get yesterday.
...

Disbelieve this if you wish to keep deceived.
But it's already done...
To keep the mood of people lifted.
And already done,
...

Unfinished continues a blooming undone.
To have anyone perceive what will be,
Viewed and seen,
In its ultimate beauty yet discovered.
...

If it has 'It Factor',
Very few have it.
That 'It Factor'...
To attract.
...

Living, has its risks.
Living, can't be done to sit.
Living, to do it...
Has to be adventured.
...
