Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Men and women both have nipples.
But birds have nipples not.
Since they can not miss them licked...
Do they get a kick when lifting wings?
...

He or she.
Them or they.
In love with a dead mate.
With feelings never to go away.
...

This journey I began,
Started for me many years ago.
So save your pretense and flattery.
They do nothing for my ego.
...

Baby...
Bring that magic to me.

Baby...
...

There is an insight that can delight.
One that brings a peaceful sleep at night.

There is success achieved when one believes.
...

Through whatever pain that is there I bear,
Unshown...
I do.
Without a need to be dared.
...

Some prefer ice tea.
A Pepsi or their Coke.
Or maybe just Spring water,
To minimize their thirsts.
...

When I came to you,
I came to give my heart.
For you,
To share it.
...

Just because there are more of you in number...
Does not mean my love is any less,
Than that of yours I receive.
...

After all that has been said and done,
My feelings for you remain the same.

'Sooo...
