Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

There is more than materialism,
That can be touched...
And is valued!
...

Long after these times lived are gone,
And you have discovered your points of view
Of these times have been wrong.
What will you then choose to do,
...

I wish I could sit upon your tongue,
And saddle it to ride...
Like on horseback bared!
It moves so ever constantly.
...

We are a part of this creation.
Envision yourself in the universe...
Above and looking down upon Earth.
Look around you.
...

Too little
Too late
The heat of it has gone.
The passion and desire...
...

Emulation stimulates,
Whatever that image is projected.
And those most affected often impressed,
Are the ones with thoughts strickly surfaced.
...

All of everything begins from zero!
And yet some will say that would be one!
And if 'one' is where everything begins,
Why is there a zero...
...

As I grow older...
The wisdom of my parents,
Has increased by leaps and bounds.
I find myself listening to them more now...
...

Inspired by thoughts!
Sometimes you bring them...
To join the ones I have sought!
Many times I sit,
...

You try too hard to deal with me.
Don't.
My basic approach reflects a complexity.
I know this!
...
