Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I touch.
I feel.
I see.
And I appreciate my life.
...

You wish to strum my strings,
To pluck my heart of its emotions.
As if to bring...
Upon my ears sentiment.
...

An attempt to stop the bleeding,
Of their own blood
Now dripping significantly in drops...
Appears to be futile!
...

Do you know who you are?
That is a good sign.
So many don't!
And I am sure by now,
...

A peek was set to catch.
Quickly slipped by a glimpse giver.
Cruised at first to tease.
Laid to seek a heat.
...

Just a grouch.
Shouting and pouting about.
Chasing happiness,
And those who are away.
...

Does a grape know
That it is sweeter than the ones
Already picked from the vine?
And it is left to sit,
...

How can someone undo a bitterness done.
And stung to wound,
Over something assumed.
...

The accusers do what they have always done best!
Find someone to blame for their own mess.
Get others to agree to their false charges.
People find in time that they have been duped.
...

South Padre Island,
Ranks among the best.
South Beach,
And those along Key West...
...
