Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

The ravishes of aging stress,
Brought about by a hopeless...
Feeling.
Uninvited yet permitted,
...

Nothing comes to be improved,
By renovating to redo...
That which has been,
True, tried and outdated.
...

Whose right of law depicted,
Is above...
That which documents the rule,
To be obeyed and followed...
...

I could care less,
How popular negativity is.
Or the sharing of it to spread.
It's just not my thing.
...

A shown progress made,
Takes commitment to truth.
No truth. No progress.
Just efforts to endeavor,
...

If one is not...
Consistently persistent,
With it wanted to correct...
The presence of flaws,
...

The complexities of life,
Only begin to cease to end...
When one has made a decision,
Quick and not to premeditate.
...

Yesterday,
Perhaps...
No attention would be given,
To juvenile ambitions ignored.
...

Beated brows not faking,
Troubled minds in paradise...
Dismayed and breaking.
As pretense charaded fades.
...

Is there another way to undo,
Betrayal without awaiting proof
Its presence is evidence enough
An addicted connection...
...
