Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Anyone believing,
A sustained career in the performing arts is easy...
Hasn't done it.
Or could if they tried.
...

My romance is not hard or odd.
Since I've got it to give.
It's here for you...
And it lives.
...

When you have learned,
You cast your own shadow.
And you then lift your head towards the Sun,
To notice none.
...

Have I 'ever' lied or cheated?
Under what?
Hypnosis?
An array of xrays?
...

To do today.
What is right.
And the ethical thing to do.
Has become so hysterical for some.
...

Scarlett,
Treat me to your insights.
Your thoughts with wit,
So delight.
...

They do not always come
The way you expect!
With a smiling face...
Or packaged in lace.
...

I have not gone away...
Because my closets are bare!
The only thing that this change brings,
Is a freshness to stale air!
...

Your desires are within you.
And wherever you go.
Whatever you do.
However that is done,
...

So bare and naked lay my emotions.
Exposed and out in the open,
For you to abuse if you decided...
That to me you would do.
...
